  Newell Convers Wyeth (October 22, 1882 – October 19, 1945), known as N. C. Wyeth, was an American painter and illustrator. He was the pupil of Howard Pyle and became one of America's most well-known illustrators. Wyeth created more than 3,000 paintings and illustrated 112 books — 25 of them for Scribner's, the Scribner Classics, which is the body of work for which he is best known.The first of these, Treasure Island, was one of his masterpieces and the proceeds paid for his study. Wyeth was a realist painter at a time when the camera and photography began to compete with his craft. Sometimes seen as melodramatic, his illustrations were designed to be understood quickly. Wyeth, who was both a painter and an illustrator, understood the difference, and said in 1908, "Painting and illustration cannot be mixed—one cannot merge from one into the other." He is the father of Andrew Wyeth and the grandfather of Jamie Wyeth, both also well-known.

  Fortunato Depero (Fondo, March 30, 1892 - Rovereto, November 29, 1960) was an Italian painter, sculptor, designer, illustrator, set and costume designer. He was one of the signatories of the aeropainting manifesto and a representative of the so-called second futurism. Fortunato Depero was born in 1892 in Fondo, in the Val di Non, to Lorenzo Depero and Virginia Turri, both originally from the town of Vigo di Ton, while still very young Depero moved to Rovereto (at the time both the towns were territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire). Here he studied at the Scuola Reale Elisabetta, an art institute frequented by many artists who would later become protagonists of the Italian cultural panorama of the twentieth century.
