-Was profoundly impacted by his Mother's death which occurred when he was 16. It inspired much of his work.
-Was expelled from the School of Fine Arts and met Pablo Picasso in Paris.
-His surrealist painting "The Persistence of Memory" made him one of the most famous artists of all time.

The most of interesting thing about Salvador Dali was that he died of heart failure and has 12 words in his name.

El Greco A.K.A. Domenikos Theotokopoulos by Vicente y Sofia El Greco was born off the coast of Greece. Not much is known about his childhood, but he started to study the art of painting at a very young age. He went to Venice to study art in his young adulthood. El Greco is best known for his religious paintings, his two most famous are 'The Disrobing of Christ'(El Espolio) (1577-79) and 'The Burial of the Count of Orgaz' (1587) El Greco worked under Titan. He was influenced by Tintoretto and the Bassano. He also studied Michelangelo and Raphael in Rome. His studies influenced his own artwork. The most interesting thing about El Greco is that he was very opinionated, so he had a lot of enemies. He was also considered a master of art at the age of 22.

Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso was born on October 25, 1881. Pablo Picasso learned to paint from his father, sometimes finishing his work. By the time he was 13 his talent already overshadowed his father’s. Pablo Picasso’s adulthood consistent of two periods. A blue period and a rose period. In the blue period he was depressed bc of a death of friend. He was stuck in depression for 4 years and only painted in somber colors. A note to add in about this period was all the women he painted were beautiful, lots of beautiful nude women.

Then 1905 he came out of depression with a new relationship of a friend and this started his gold period. In this period he used a lot of cheerful colors such as pink and orange.

Later in his art career he had a horrible relationship with Olga Khokhlova. They ended it but never officially divorced. Since then he started to make his women ugly for example a women glaring her teeth.

He ended his career in making precise and meticulous paintings as way to preserve time but realized everything ended in vain.

His emotions influenced everything he created.

He used many different styles of art depending on his mood. He is also considered to be the inspiration for the art type cubism.

The most interesting thing about Pablo Picasso is that he became communist at the age 62, because he believed that the greatest poets and thinkers stemmed from this ideology.
