Answer 4

It would have to be John F. Kennedy. John F. Kennedy's 1963 assassination was one of the most shocking public events of the 20th century. Kennedy served in the U.S. Navy during World War II, commanding the patrol boat PT-109 and leading his crew to rescue after the boat was sunk by the Japanese in the Solomon Islands. A Democrat, "JFK" was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Massachusetts' 11th district in 1946. In 1952 he moved up to the U.S. Senate, defeating Henry Cabot Lodge. He married Jacqueline Bouvier on 12 September 1953; they had two children, Caroline (b. 1957) and John Jr. (b. 1960). (A third child, Patrick, was born on 7 August 1963 and died two days later.) JFK was elected to replace President Dwight Eisenhower in 1960 (narrowly defeating Eisenhower's vice-president, Richard Nixon); he swept into office with a reputation for youthful charm, impatience, wit and vigor. Kennedy's term was sometimes called the New Frontier, a phrase he coined in his acceptance speech at the 1960 Democratic convention. Kennedy was shot to death by sniper Lee Harvey Oswald during an open-car motorcade in Dallas, Texas on 22 November 1963; two days later, Harvey was shot and killed by another man, Jack Ruby. Kennedy was succeeded by Lyndon Johnson.

Answer 9

Vincent Van Gogh
Vincent Willem van Gogh (March 30, 1853, Zundert–July 29, 1890, Auvers-sur-Oise) was a Dutch painter, classified as a Post-Impressionist. His art includes some of the world's best known, best-loved and most expensive pieces. He is also widely remembered as a lone, tortured, mad, bohemian artist. Even people who have no experience of his art are often aware of the fact that he cut off his ear and was driven to an early suicide by lack of recognition for his genius. Here reality and myth are intertwined, and although he certainly suffered from recurrent bouts of madness, his suicide was preceded by growing praise for his work from radical critics and fellow avant-garde artists—something which paradoxically caused the painter considerable anguish.

Van Gogh spent his early life mainly as an art dealer and a teacher in England and as a preacher in Holland. His period as an artist lasted for around ten years, initially with work in sombre colours, until his encounter in Paris with Impressionism accelerated his artistic development into his mature style. He produced all of his work, some 900 paintings and 1100 drawings, during the last ten years of his life. Most of his best-known work was produced in the final two years of his life, and in the two months before his death he painted 90 pictures. Following his death, his fame grew slowly, helped by the devoted promotion of it by his widowed sister-in-law.

More or less a self-taught artist, his work was startlingly innovative, from the very beginning. When he started to become a draughtsman aiming to working for illustrated magazines, he already broke all conventions. Later, when he re-orientated towards painting, the same happened again. Neither his early realist work, though close to the Dutch tradition, nor his later impressionist phase met the contemporary expectations. But then his even more radical, more personal depictions of everyday life showed up, using bold, usually distorted, even caricature draughtsmanship and visible dotted or dashed brush marks, sometimes in swirling or wave-like patterns, which are intensely yet subtly coloured. 1890, the year he died, marks his break-through. Since then, Vincent van Gogh became a pioneer of what came to be known as Expressionism and has had an enormous influence on 20th century art, especially on the Fauves and German Expressionists, with a lineage that follows through to the Abstract Expressionism of Willem de Kooning and the British painter Francis Bacon.

The central figure in Vincent van Gogh's life was his brother Theo, an art dealer with the firm of Goupil & Cie, who continually and selflessly provided financial support. Their lifelong friendship is documented in numerous letters they exchanged from August 1872 onwards, which were published in 1914, by Johanna van Gogh-Bonger, Theo's widow, who generously supported most of the early Van Gogh exhibitions with loans from the artist's estate.

Vincent had several relationships, but did not marry and had no children.
