    A painter's stand is called an easel. Reportedly, the name traces back to the late 16th- and early 17th-century Dutch word "ezel," which refers to a donkey. There are two possible reasons why this word became the name of an artist's stand. The first is that donkeys were commonly used to haul objects, much like an easel holds an artist's supply. Another possibility is that in English, a supporting frame was sometimes referred to as a horse. The Dutch may have drawn inspiration from this tradition and chosen the word for a donkey to describe the frame that supports an artist's canvas and paints. On 1stDibs, find a range of easels.

    The painter called Bernard was Émile Henri Bernard. A French Post-Impressionist, he pioneered Cloisonnism, an art style where lightly abstract figures appear bordered with dramatic, dark lines. Working with Paul Gaugin, Bernard also played a major role in the development of Synthetism, which focused on abstracting subjects of work to reflect the feelings of the artist producing it. Some of Bernard's most notable works include Self-Portrait with Portrait of Gauguin, Harvest by the Sea, Madeleine in the Bois d'Amour and Breton Women with Umbrellas.

    Painters whose works embody the characteristics of the Futurism art movement are called Futurist painters. Some well-known Futurists include Umberto Boccioni, Giacomo Balla, Carlo Carrà, Gino Severini, Luigi Russolo, Joseph Stella and Aleksandra Ekster. Futurism originated in Italy during the early 20th century and focused on representing the dynamic changes taking place in the country due to the Industrial Revolution in artistic works. Painters working in this style studied science and philosophy as much as art. They often painted cityscapes, airplanes, cars and machinery and they tended to use vibrant colors and abstraction in their works. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of Futurist art.

    No, Robert Motherwell was not a Surrealist painter. The American artist was the youngest member of the New York School, a group of Abstract Expressionists working in art, dance, poetry and music in the 1950s and '60s. However, Motherwell did meet a group of exiled Parisian Surrealists while attending Columbia University to study art history in the 1940s. This encounter proved influential in his style. Inspired by their work, Motherwell began to integrate the idea of “automatism," unmediated gestures that reflect deeper psychological impulses, into his work, pioneering a new form of Abstract Expressionism that came to characterize the New York School. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Robert Motherwell art.

    Delacroix is considered a Romantic painter due to the era in which he worked and his artistic style. From the outset of his career in the early 19th century, he was regarded as the leader of the French Romantic school. In contrast to the neoclassical perfectionism of his chief rival, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Eugène Delacroix took for his inspiration the art of Rubens and painters of the Venetian Renaissance, with an attendant emphasis on color and movement rather than clarity of outline and carefully modeled form. Dramatic and romantic content characterized the central themes of his maturity. Shop a collection of Eugène Delacroix art on 1stDibs.

    Several famous painters burned their own artwork. Pablo Picasso did so in order to keep warm when he was facing financial hardships, and Camille Claudel destroyed most of her pieces by fire when suffering from mental illness. Dozens of charred paintings were discovered in Francis Bacon's home after his death as well. In some cases, the burning of art has even been part of the artwork itself. An example of this is Damien Hirst's The Currency. For this conceptual work, the contemporary artist sold 10,000 NFTs and then live-streamed himself burning the first thousand works he ever produced.
