Default Identify this strange painting?

Found this strange image on a flash drive left in my apartment - don't know who left it there... The people in this picture have been blurred out for privacy.

Anyway, does anyone know who this artist is? It's been a total mystery since I found this a few weeks ago. The text surrounding the man's head seems to read "Le probleme de l'existence est résolu", which translates to "The problem of existence is resolved". How strange!

Thanks in advance for your help!

It looks like Mr.Foot In Mouth. Donald Rumsfeld, k...sorry.

“There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we now know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. These are things we do not know we don’t know.”

The man is the existensialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre.
