Can you give the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep gimp

please don't post in all caps, it is unnecessary, harder to read and looks like you are shouting, so DON'T

Verified Home -- lib and file libart_lgpl_2.so.2 is missing. Believe this happened with reinstall of evolution.
Don't know the source or how to replace missing file.
Don't think the instruction to click "that solved my question" is quite correct.

Try:

sudo /sbin/ldconfig

Then run the app. If that fails then this should work:

sudo apt-get --purge remove gimp gimp-data gimpshop; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gimp

Then retry.

sudo apt-get --purge remove gimp gimp-data gimpshop
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gimp

Copying multiple lines in one is clearly a challenge so I will break the command up, this gives more effort for you, but it will work. Run each line in turn
