Umberto Boccioni (Italian, 1882-1916) • Self-Portrait • 1905
Boccioni an influential Italian painter and sculptor. He helped shape the revolutionary aesthetic of the Futurism movement as one of its principal figures. Despite his short life, his approach to the dynamism of form and the deconstruction of solid mass guided artists long after his death.[4] His works are held by many public art museums, and in 1988 the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City organized a major retrospective of 100 pieces. – Wikipedia

Boccioni's Dynamism of a Cyclist (1913) is perhaps his best known work and an example of futurism which strived to depict speed, modern methods of transport, and the depiction of the dynamic sensation of movement.

Marie-Geneviève Bouliard (French, 1762–1825) • Self-Portrait • 1792 • Norton Simon Museum, Pasadena, California, U.S.
Marie-Geneviève Bouliar was one of a small number of women artists to receive public recognition in 18th-century France. The daughter of a tailor, she learned to paint under the guidance of the acclaimed portraitist Joseph-Siffred Duplessis. Early in her career, Bouliar was among the first generation of women to exhibit their work in the Parisian Salon, and she won the Prix d’Encouragement (Encouragement Prize). Soon after, the government provided her with a rent-free studio in the Louvre, indicating official recognition of her talent.
