Leonardo da Vinci

His head was passed midwives from the mother's womb in 1452 near the city of Florence, Italy. And his head is inserted into the grave in 1519. He is Leonardo and Vinci. Century after century Guram not make his reputation as perhaps the most brilliant genius who ever lived on planet earth. If only there was a list of "famous people" certainly Leonardo da Vinci topnotch listed among fifty
other characters. However, his talent and his reputation seems to be exaggerated if measured by its impact on history.

In his notebook, Leonardo left the sketch a lot of modern inventions, such as aircraft problems and submarines. Because the note was merely to prove kebrilianan and originality, not the impact on the development of science. First, Leonardo does not make a model of these discoveries. Second, although his ideas very bright, did not show that the ideas can be implemented. Put your ideas on airplanes and submarines that: Much more difficult to create a model for making kongkritnya. Great inventor whose name is not just those who have brilliant ideas but fail to realize it, but the so-called great inventors are people like Thomas Edison, James Watt or the Wright brothers who have talent and perseverance mechanic working on details and overcome the difficulties of making to really work. Leonardo did not do things like this.

Furthermore, although sketches also contain details that needed to be tangible findings, nonetheless there are also different, because the findings were simply buried in the new notebooks and published many centuries after Leonardo himself to death. At the time of his notes issued (which happened to the text written on glass), the ideas embodied in the invention was also found by other people are standing alone. We conclude, as a scientist and inventor, Leonardo had no significant effect.

Leonardo inclusion in this list because it is caused primarily on artistic works. Leonardo was a high-class artist, though not as famous as Rembrandt, Raphael, Van Gogh, or El Greco. Measured from the consequences it caused in the subsequent development of art, its influence is much smaller than Picasso or Michelangelo.

Leonardo had the unfortunate habit. He started something with the ambition of the project burning, but never completed properly. Say he's "hot-hot chicken shit." As a result, the complete picture, far fewer in number than the work of painters mentioned above. Because too often he was moved from one unfinished painting to another painting, Leonardo managed to divide the important part of extraordinary talent. Although seems awkward, Leonardo considers a less incompetent when he was the creator of the Mona Lisa, but it's a common conclusion made by those experts who explore Leonardo's career.

Maybe Leonardo da Vinci the most talented person who ever lived, but the preservation of his work is relatively small. And though he was a famous architect, it seemed he had never built a house that really woke up. And none of the chisel sculpture that can still be found today. Peningggalan the beautiful talent consists of a number of sketches, some amazing paintings (less than twenty-five of which are still living), and a set of records that can make people of the 20th century stunned on his genius, but little or no no effect at all on any science or field of invention.

Pablo Picasso

Painters always struggled with the general question what the purpose and objective fact that art. Why should it? Is not art then became a dead person? Or toothless? But since the invention of photography, the problem becomes clearer and more urgent. Clearly, the purpose of tracing the artist is not just the landscape. Clever-clever painters like anything was not going to match the portrait,
both good and cheap. Because of that, more than a century has pioneered a series of experiments to confirm the functions and painting something for coverage. In this movement, the boldest, most innovative, the escape away from the arts merely ordinary, and that by itself the most influential, was Pablo Picasso.

Picasso art style admired for imagination, vitality and sensitivity to the outside world. Picasso was a central figure in the development of "Cubism," and he was also famous for kebrilianan brain and technical ability. He generally recognized as the key figures in modern art and one of the most fond of new things from all the artists in past centuries.

Picasso had a perfect ability in painting realistic pictures. if he feels like it should, but, more often again he chose ruffled and changing the face of an object. Once upon a time he said. "If I want to paint the cup, will show you that the round shape, but it was something the general rhythm and force the construction of a painting I showed took the name as a round square."

Y Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born in 1881 in the city of Malaga, Spain. Her father was an artist and art teacher. Talent Pablo appeared in the very young age and he has become an excellent painter in teens. In 1904 he settled in Paris and for the next stay in France.

Picasso's really a very productive artist. During his life as an artist was unusually long - about the time three quarters of a century - he has created more than 20,000 of art separate from each other, averaging more than 5 work week that lasted 75 years! The vast majority of the time, his work has always stood at the front in terms of high prices, because it was Picasso became very wealthy. She died in the town of Mougins, France, in 1973.

In any case, Picasso no doubt a versatile artist who rarely standard appeal. Although primarily a painter's name, he also did a lot of sculptures. Plus, he's ballet stage designer, he wrestled with the art of making pots, leaving a large number of works lithografi, painting over the lines using a pencil or chalk art from many other branches.

But such as artists, Picasso was also interested in earnest on political issues. In fact, masyhurnya picture "Guernica" (1937), inspired by the events in the civil war Spain. Several other works also have political significance.

Many famous artists is marked by a kind of basic styles. Picasso is not the case. He displays a wide space of an amazing variety of styles. Art critics nickname like "blue period," "pink period," "neo-classical period" and so on. He is one of the forerunners of "Cubism," He can come along, sometimes oppose new developments in the world of painting modern painting. Perhaps no artist in history who could do the work with such high quality with a pass so many styles and ways.

Not all the art school has a long-term effects. Although flattered Picasso praised in the 20th century, questionable whether the next centuries later it still penyanjungan could happen, or whether its influence will be destroyed in no time. Obviously, there is no guarantee that convincing to answer such questions. However, a deal of contemporary art critics say that Picasso's influence will still have an important weight in the future. Though clearly, we can not ensure the continuation of significant weight Pablo Picasso as we can do about senirnanseniman tested by the time. Michael H.
