In February 1921, Dali's mother died of breast cancer. Dali was 16 years old; he later said his mother's death "was the greatest blow I had experienced in my life. I worshipped her... I could not resign myself to the loss of a being on whom I counted to make invisible the unavoidable blemishes of my soul." After her death, Dali's father married his dead wife's sister, Dali’s aunt.
Baroque is an artistic style developed in Europe, mainly dominant from the 16th century to the 18th century, often emphasizing dramatic curving forms, elaborate ornamentation, and overall balance of disparate parts. There is one man that fully developed and mastered this style, and his name is Diego Velazquez. His works were separated into three categories. “These were the bodegón, which comprised everyday subjects combined with still life, portraits, and religious scenes” (Diego Velazquez Biography). As a realist painter, he only painted objects that he saw which “produced in him the ability to paint his subjects in such a way that they seem to be alive” (Velazquezgallery).
Salvator Dali’s "The Persistence of Memory" One of the most distinguished works of artist Salvator Dali is his 1931 surreal oil on canvas painting “The Persistence of Memory”. Julien Levy, an American art dealer discouraged the painting telling Dali that it wouldn’t sell, but obviously it did. It even landed Dali on the cover of Time Magazine with his most famous artwork making its way into the Museum of Modern Art and the rest, as they say is history. The Persistence of Memory, when carefully observed in details is a portrait that speaks about the imagination of its artist Salvator Dali. In his imagination, it is sunrise, basing this idea on the colour of the horizon which is yellow slowly fading to green until it completely becomes blue.
He started his first job at the age of 15 when he quitted studies because of his family finically crisis.

Although two image’s messages are same, but they are painting in different materials. Fig.1 is oiling on the canvas and Fig.2 is oiling on the wood.

This combination of analytical and synthetic cubism reflects Picasso’s interest in ideas perception and reality in painting. Picasso introduced Analytical Cubism into the art world during 1908 to 1912 as the early phases of cubism. It is recognisable by its use of geometric shapes being abstracted and distorted to show multiple viewpoints which is clearly shown in the artwork “Still Life with a Cane Chair”. Doing this explores reality closer to truth as you visually grasp many angles rather than just one. When we see an object in reality we see every side of it and we mentally create a 3D picture of it in our head so using
The transition between an early modernist painting and abstract expressionists can be seen by looking at many different artists. In this essay I am going to look at work from Picasso, Gorky and Pollock to shed some light on some paintings and make the transitions more easily understood. Pablo Picasso takes abstract to the extreme in his painting “The Guitar Player”. You can barely see the figure in the artwork. He uses very little color and outlines in black.
2- on February 12, Schulz died at his home in Santa Rosa, California, from colon cancer. Often, when you hear about a hero, it is someone who had done outstanding feat or conquest.

Born on November 26, 1922, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
ANALYTIC CUBISM One could ask the question, when did “Cubism” begin? Some art historians consider a single painting of 1907, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, as the beginning. But that would be assuming that Picasso was the most important Cubist artist. The problem with that assumption is that the artist never considered Les Demoiselles d’Avignon to be finished and kept the work rolled up under his bed until he sold it in the 1920s to the collector, fashion designer, Jacques Doucet. The painting was exhibited publicly only once in 1916 (during the Great War) until the 1920s and was purchased in 1929 for the new Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
He had the firm for seventeen years, along with a partner by the name of Wantabe. Wishing to avoid disgrace, Wantabe killed himself. It isn't until the brother talks to his sister, Kikuko, when the brother finds out that Wantabe killed not only himself, but “he took his whole family with him. His wife and his two little girls.” The brother replies, “Father was just telling me how Wantabe was a man of principle.” The father reassures the son throughout the story about how much he idolized Wantabe. He mentions that “Wantabe was very devoted to his work” and that he was “a man of priniciple and honour.
