Name this Artist

As I do from time to time, I've put together a little quiz for those who think they know something about art. Every one of the artists below you've no doubt heard of, but have not associated their names with their art. In making it a little easier I've included an interesting clue beneath each work which may, or may not, help in identifying the artist. Beyond that, I've even included two self-portraits. Please e-mail me at jimlane@jimlaneart.com if you can identify one or more of the artists. I'll be happy to post the name of the first art expert getting the most correct. Good luck!
