One of the most important and influential artists of the Chinese contemporary art scene, **Fang Lijun** (b. 1963) is most famous for his images of bald men—often depicted in large groups, in a variety of settings and poses, often in a humorous and satirical way.

​

Midjourney generations with his name inherit Fang Lijun's expressive brushstrokes, the use of a deep, contrasty color pallet, and weird, borderline creepy characters. 

British painter **Winifred Knights** (1899-1947) is known for her detailed and realistic depictions of the human figure and is particularly recognized for her use of colors and the play of light and shadow to create a sense of volume. She was a member of the New English Art Club and was part of the British avant-garde of the early 20th century.

​

Winifred Knights' Midjourney style is fantastic for highly-stylized portrait (and not only!) paintings permeated by the sense of longing. 

Throughout his long and productive career, Italian artist, designer, and writer **Bruno Munari** (1907-1998) contributed generously to the fields of graphic and industrial design, as well as... children's literature! He was a key member of the Italian Futurist movement with a focus on experimentation and play in his artwork. His other passion was illustrations and children's books, which are considered masterpieces in the field of children's literature.

​

Midjourney prompts with Bruno Munari's name return elegant designs with strong composition, color play, and sexy geometrical shapes.

Legendary Japanese fashion designer **Issey Miyake** (b. 1938) is famous for his avant-garde, innovative designs blending traditional Japanese techniques with modern technology, creating functional and beautiful clothing. He is renowned for using high-tech fabrics, clean lines, and minimalism, with a strong focus on sustainability.

​

Streamlined futuristic designs, colorful geometrical patterns, and lots of character—that's what to expect from Issey Miyake's name added to your prompts.

Austrian painter and feminist artist **Maria Lassnig** (1919-2014) is celebrated for her highly personal and introspective self-portraits, painted in a bold and expressive style, with a focus on the body and the inner feelings.

​

Bold and expressive brushstrokes, strong colors, and a focus on the body, particularly the female form, is what characterize Maria Lassnig's Midjourney style.

**Tadanori Yokoo** (b. 1936) is a renowned Japanese graphic designer and visual artist known for his bold and colorful pop art style. He is recognized for his avant-garde posters and book covers, often featuring elements of traditional Japanese art, popular culture, and modern technology.

​

Yokoo's Midjourney style is all about the striking use of color, playful imagery, and a sense of nostalgia and longing.

**Iwona Lifsches** is a contemporary painter with roots in Poland. Her works reflect a Naive Art style characterized by a childlike innocence in subject, shape, and color. She creates fabulously colorful paintings that depict simple and idealized scenes of everyday life with a touch of melancholy and humor.

​

One of the best representatives of the Naive Art movement in Midjourney, Iwona Lifsches' style is bright, simple yet detailed illustrations great for magically charged fairy tale scenes.

**Hilma af Klint** (1862-1944) was a Swedish pioneer in abstract art. She is known for creating a series of paintings called the "Paintings for the Temple," produced in the early 20th century before the advent of abstract art as it is commonly understood. Himla af Klint was a member of a group of artists known as "The Five," who were interested in spiritualism and theosophy.

​

Klint's Midjourney generations are beautiful geometrical abstractions mixed with semi-realistic subjects (if lucky :)). Elegant bright colors, fine lines, and play with symmetry are the principal features in generations with Hilma af Klint's name in prompts.

**Beeple** (born in 1981) is the pseudonym of the American digital artist and graphic designer Mike Winkelmann. Mike uses a wide range of digital tools to create his artworks: abstract and surreal landscapes, animations, and generative designs.

​

Beeple's Midjourney style is a true finding for those into epic sci-fi illustrations, perfectly capturing the massive scale of the scenes, rendered in vibrant colors, and filled with an otherworldly, slightly surreal atmosphere.
