KAHLO Frida 6.7.1907 - 13.7.1954
Mehiška slikarka se je rodila kot Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón v predmestju Mexico Cityja. Kot otrok je prebolela otroško paralizo,  kot najstnica pa je doživela hudo prometno nesrečo zaradi katere je trpela celo življenje. Zaradi bolezni in nesreče je morala prestati trideset hudih operacij. Najprej je hotela študirati medicino. Kasneje pa se je predala slikarstvu. Njene slike odkrito izražajo čustveno in fizično trpljenje zaradi uničenega telesa. Od njenih 143 ohranjenih slik je kar 55 avtoportretov. Poročena je bila s znanim slikarjem Diego Rivero.  Bila je podpornica komunizma. V njenem bivšem domu La Casa Azul v rodnem Coyoacánu je urejen muzej s številnimi njenimi deli.

Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter, who has achieved great international popularity. She painted using vibrant colors in a style that was influenced by indigenous cultures of Mexico as well as by European influences that include realism, symbolism, and surrealism. Many of her works are self-portraits that express her own pain symbolically. Kahlo was married to and encouraged by the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera. They shared political views. Although she has long been recognized as an important painter, public awareness of her work has become more widespread since the 1970s. Her "Blue" house in Coyoacán, Mexico City is a popular museum, donated by Diego Rivera upon his death in 1957.

Drugič se je poročila z Andrejem Karamzinom, sinom znanega ruskega zgodovinarja Nikolaja Kraramzina, ki je bil ubit leta 1854 v krimski vojni. Vse to jo je spodbudilo, da je pomagala Fincem leta 1860, ko je tam vladala velika lakota. Prodala je svojo palačo v Saint Petersburgu in z denarjem ustanovila v Helsinkih Diakonski inštitut, kjer so se šolale prve bolniške sestre.

Katarina Sienska sv. - CATHERINE of Siena st.  25.3.1347 - 29.4.1380

Dominikanka in svetnica Katarina je bila izjemna osebnost, mističarka in "politična svetovalka." Bila je članica meniškega tretjega reda. Pripadniki tega reda so dali le preproste zaobljube in niso živeli v samostanih. Pridružila se je spokorniškim sestram svetega Dominika v Sieni in hitro zaslovela po svetosti in odpovedovanju. Ko je Gregor XI. leta 1376 izobčil uporniške Firence, se je Katarina lotila mirovniške akcije za spravo v cerkvi in Italiji ter pozvala h križarski vojni proti muslimanom. Spoznala je, da bo to mogoče samo, če se bo papež vrnil v Rim. Pošiljala je pisma in svarila s katerimi je podpirala papeža in ga pregovorila, da je preselil papeški sedež iz Avignona spet v Rim. Njena znamenita knjiga Dialogi je menda nastala na podlagi neposrednih stikov s Kristusom. Med njena dela spada še 380 pisem in 26 molitev. Vsa dela je narekoval, saj je bila nepismena.  
God praznuje 29. aprila.

Catherine of Siena, was an Italian mystic. She is especially remembered for the part she played in bringing about the return (1377) of Pope Gregory XI from the papal residence in Avignon, France, to Rome. Convinced of the necessity of ending the 68-year absence of the popes from Rome, Catherine traveled (1376) to Avignon to present her case personally and persuade the pope to leave France. St. Catherine is also known for her unusual mystical revelations, the holiness of her life, and her spiritual writings. Always deeply religious, she became a member of the Dominican Third Order when she was 16 years of age. Although she never learned to write, Catherine nevertheless dictated several treatises, the best known of which is The Dialogue. She was canonized in 1461. In 1970, she was declared a Doctor of the Church. Feast day: Apr. 29.

Kogelnik Kiki 1935 - 1997

Kiki Kogelnik is among the most important Austrian artists of the post war period. Her artistic career began in 1954 when she began studying graphic and sculpture design at the Viennese College for Applied Arts. The following year Kogelnik moved to the Academy of Fine Arts where she took painting classes with Albert Paris-Gütersloh. Thanks to her early involvement among the surrounding milieu of the gallery near St. Steven, Monsignore Otto Mauer granted her the first ever single exhibition of abstract works in Vienna (1961). From the early 1960´s Kiki Kogelnik worked and resided in New York, Vienna and her hometown, Bleiburg. Her first artistic creations reflect the abstract forms of Pop-Art which she adopted early on but are characterised by her own distinctive picture language. In 1962 she developed the first series of wrapping paper collages, portraying friends and colleagues. These silhouettes became a principal foundation of her artistic work, which included tableau paintings and graphics as well as sculptures and creative installations. In 1998 the prestigious Austrian Belvedere Gallery dedicated a large retrospective to her.

V 1. svetovni vojni padlemu sinu je oblikovala in postavila svojevrsten spomenik v Flandriji. Nacisti so odstranili njena dela in ji prepovedali delati. 1943 ji je letalska bomba uničila studio in večino del. Najprej je ustvarjala v realističnem, kasneje pa ekspresionističnem slogu. Pomembni so njeni grafični cikli Upor tkalcev (1897-98), Kmečka vojna (1908) in Tema smrti (1936).

The distinguished German graphic artist Kathe Kollwitz took as her theme the suffering caused by poverty, rebellion, war, and death. Kollwitz's urgent social and political concern is evident in her major print cycles: The Weavers' Uprising (1895-98), a series of three lithographs and three etchings based on a play by Gerhardt Hauptmann; Peasants' War (1902-08), War (1922-23) and Proletariat (1925), both comprising woodcuts in an expressionist style reminiscent of Ernst Barlach; and Death (1934-35), lithographs that combine the theme of mortality with self-portraiture. Kollwitz is also known for her sculpture, notably her war monument (unveiled 1933) in Belgium's Roggevelt Military Cemetery.

Koster Lou 7.5.1889 - 17.11.1973
je luksemburška skladateljica.

As the daughter of the orchestra leader for the Luxembourg Army First Chasseurs’ battalion, Franz Hoebig, Lou Koster grew up in a family of musicians. Thus it was no surprise when, in 1907, she began studying music; afterwards she taught violin, piano, and solfeggio at the conservatory of Luxembourg. She put to music the word of the great poets (including Alfred de Musset, Paul Verlaine, J.W. von Goethe, Edouard Mörike and Theodor Storm) and composed piano scores for the works of Luxembourg authors such as Nic. Welter (notably, one of his most important works, the ballad Le violoniste d’Echternach), Willy Goergen, Lucien Koenig and Wöllem Weis. The music of Lou Koster was neither avant-garde nor classical modernism. Her music reminds us very simply of « the good old days» and that’s why she fascinates the listener. It was only in 1959 that Lou Koster interpreted with great success her first « Récital de mélodies et de poésies » with famous Luxembourg artists. In 1964, for her 75th birthday, the highest honours of the Union Grand-Duc Adolphe were conferred upon her.

Po Leninovi smrti je predstavila njegov tako imenovani Testament, kjer je Lenin predlagal odstranitev Stalina iz vodstva partije. Testament ni imel nobenega vpliva, Krupskaja pa je izgubila ves vpliv, čeprav je še vedno delala v vladi.

Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya, was a Russian revolutionary and the wife of Vladimir Ilich Lenin, whom she married in 1898. She helped organize the Bolshevik party and, after the party seized power (October 1917), held various posts in the education commissariat. When Lenin died (1924), Krupskaya presented to the Politburo his so-called Testament, in which he recommended the removal of Joseph Stalin from the party leadership. No action was taken, and Krupskaya lost all influence, although she continued to serve in the government.
