Keith Haring became one of the most influential artists of the late 20th century, using simple, energetic lines to create a universal visual language of joy, activism, and human connection. After moving to New York in the late 1970s, he began drawing his now-iconic chalk figures on unused subway advertising panels, bringing art directly into everyday public life. As his career grew, he used his work to address issues including the AIDS crisis, apartheid, and social inequality, believing that art should be accessible to everyone rather than confined to galleries. Diagnosed with AIDS in 1988, Haring continued creating murals, paintings, and public projects with remarkable urgency until his death in 1990 at the age of 31. Although his career lasted just over a decade, his unmistakable imagery and commitment to making art a force for connection and social change established him as one of the defining cultural figures of modern art. 🖍️ by @aninaarts

Sylvette David was 19 when she met Pablo Picasso in Vallauris, France, in 1954. She was living there with her boyfriend, Toby Jellinek, a young furniture designer, when Picasso bought two of his chairs and invited them into his studio. Soon after, Sylvette began sitting for Picasso, who was 72 at the time. Over the next three months, he made around 60 works based on her, turning her profile, long neck, and high ponytail into a series of portraits built around line, shape, and silhouette. The moment came during a shift in Picasso’s personal life: Françoise Gilot, his longtime partner, had left him the year before, and Jacqueline Roque, his new lover and later second wife, was entering his life. After the portraits were exhibited, Sylvette became suddenly famous, appearing in magazines and even inspiring Brigitte Bardot, who reportedly copied her hairstyle and the way she dressed. The sittings were quiet and not romantic. Sylvette later said Picasso gave her confidence and helped her feel the possibility of becoming an artist herself. As payment, he let her choose a painting, and she picked a black-and-white profile because it “looked most like me, like a photograph.” Years later, Sylvette took the name Lydia Corbett and built her own life as a painter. 👱🏻‍♀️ #pablopicasso #sylvettedavid @aninaarts by @aninaarts

On this day in 1907, Frida Kahlo was born in Coyoacán, Mexico City on July 6th. She would go on to become one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, transforming physical pain and personal experience into deeply symbolic self-portraits. At 18, a devastating bus accident left her with lifelong injuries and countless surgeries, an event that profoundly shaped her work. Her passionate and turbulent marriage to Diego Rivera, along with themes of identity, love, loss, and resilience, became recurring subjects throughout her career. Though she sold relatively few paintings during her lifetime, Kahlo’s uncompromising vision made her a global cultural icon. 🥀 #fridakhalo @aninaarts by @aninaarts

Paintings by Claude Monet 🌸 Claude Monet’s painting journey began in Le Havre, where he first gained attention as a teenage caricaturist before Eugène Boudin introduced him to painting outdoors, a lesson that became decisive for his entire career. As a young artist, Monet moved toward open-air painting, loose brushwork, and the study of modern light, helping define Impressionism in the 1870s. Over time, his work became less about recording a single scene and more about watching how the same subject changed under different conditions, from haystacks and poplars to Rouen Cathedral and his garden at Giverny. In his later years, Monet’s paintings became larger, freer, and more immersive, especially in the Water Lilies series, which became the central focus of his final decades. Instead of clear horizons and traditional space, his late paintings often dissolve into water, reflection, atmosphere, and color, moving closer to abstraction. His cataracts also affected his vision, and critics and museums have connected this period to broader brushstrokes, darker or muddier hues, and more intense color. 🌺 #claudemonet @aninaarts by @aninaarts

Salvador Dalí’s home in Portlligat, Cadaqués. He lived and worked here from 1930 to 1982, turning a small fisherman’s hut into a strange, labyrinthine seaside world. The house became his only permanent residence, filled with studio rooms, personal objects, surreal details, and views of the Catalan coast that shaped much of his imagination. Today, it is open as the Salvador Dalí House-Museum, giving visitors a direct look into the private world behind his art. 🥚 #salvadordalí @aninaarts by @aninaarts

Lenny Kravitz’s Paris home is a personal museum designed by his own firm, Kravitz Design. Housed in a historic hôtel particulier in the city’s 16th arrondissement, the space reflects what he calls “soulful elegance,” blending vintage furniture, African artifacts, family photographs, and works by artists such as Geoffrey Holder and Woodrow Nash. Throughout the house, Kravitz has created a deeply personal tribute to his family, cultural heritage, music, and artistic influences, turning the home into a reflection of his life and creative world. ⚡️ @aninaarts @archdigest #lennykravitz by @aninaarts

David Hockney, the English painter who helped bring figurative art back to prominence after decades of abstraction, died Thursday at his home in London. He was 88. His publicist, Erica Bolton, confirmed the death without giving a cause.

Born in Yorkshire, Hockney lived for years in Los Angeles and called himself an “English Los Angeleno.” His paintings came to define the city’s light for many viewers.
A retrospective of his work at the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris closed nine months before his death. Even then, in poor health and using a wheelchair, he kept painting from his London studio. “I just go on with my work,” he said. 🖤 #davidhockney by @aninaarts

Jean-Michel Basquiat emerged in downtown New York at the turn of the 1980s, when the city was broke, public services shuttered, and a new generation of musicians, filmmakers, and artists were reinventing culture in derelict lofts. Born in Brooklyn in 1960 to a Haitian father and Puerto Rican mother, he grew up between museum trips with his mother and the fractured rhythms of downtown life. By his early twenties he was exhibiting internationally, hailed as a prodigy of a new, unruly painting. His canvases bore little resemblance to the polite post-minimalism still hanging uptown: literate, urgent, full of anatomy diagrams and music references, a mixture of self-portraiture and social commentary that seemed to belong as much to a subway wall as a museum. He moved through a charged circle of downtown figures, including Keith Haring, Madonna, Fab 5 Freddy, and Andy Warhol, who became both a close friend and collaborator. Fame came quickly, bringing museum attention, collectors, celebrity, and the pressures of an art world eager to claim him. Basquiat died in New York on August 12, 1988, at the age of twenty-seven, from a heroin overdose. ⚡️ #jeanmichelbasquiat #basquiat @aninaarts by @aninaarts

I am obsessed with Henri Matisse 🦋 “There are always flowers for those who want to see them.” 🌺

Henri-Émile-Benoît Matisse was born in 1869 in northeastern France, where his family had been involved in the textile industry for generations. Matisse himself was a collector of fabrics from an early age. After studying for a law degree in Paris, he took a job at a law firm. To counter his boredom, he started drawing. Later that year, while bedridden with appendicitis, he was given a paint set by his mother, who was herself an accomplished porcelain artist. His passion for the medium was so immediate, so all-encompassing, that he reportedly warned his young bride, Amélie Parayre, whom he married in 1898, “I love you dearly, mademoiselle, but I shall always love painting more.” 💫 @aninaarts #henrimatisse #matisse by @aninaarts
