When I visualize a famous piece of artwork I picture something that tells a worthy story, versatile use of color, and an great point of view. Salvador Dali is known as one of the greatest painters of his time. He has had multiple paintings sell for millions of dollars. The painting that sold for the most was his Portrait de Paul Eluard, it sold for $22.4 million dollars (Drughi). Dali is known for his style of impressionism and Surrealism.

Throughout history, art has been very important. The biggest time for art, though, was the Renaissance. Many artists got their start in this era. Some popular artists include Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Leonardo Da Vinci. I believe that all of these people were amazing artists, but Leonardo was the most significant artist of his time.

He was a brilliant sculptor; his many famous works include David, that resides in Florence, Italy at Galleria dell'Accademia, the Pieta in the Vatican, and a series he created called Dying Slaves which can be found at the Louvre.

It is by pushing our artistic sensibilities and by pushing our comfort levels of what is known that Picasso is able to create an artistic piece that talks to the human heart instead of its knowledge. On the other hand, artists like Andy Warhol create magnificent pieces of art by appealing to what is known and what can be easily comprehended. However, while it is true that Andy Warhol 's pieces are easy to understand there is a subtle hidden meaning to his paintings that it is sometimes hard to get. This characteristic is what makes Warhol 's paintings so attractive to the public.
One of the famous artists was Donatello. He was famous during the Renaissance for the painting of David. The sculptor is one of the most influential pieces. This artist made sculptors during the Renaissance that were monumental to life. Next, was the painting of the Last Judgement.
As for the technical part of his paintings, Dali based himself on mathematics and physics studies to represent figures in a more realistic way. He was influenced greatly by quantum mechanics and the study of perception and dimension that helped him find a balance between irrational ideas and realistic representation as seen in his series of paintings that are related to his religious beliefs; “Christ of saint john of the cross”, and “Crucifixion”. Symbolism was also present in his paintings, some of them were used to represent ideas and others to refer to a memory found in his subconscious. They were often repeated in several paintings and held hidden messages. Dali’s painting held dark themes and represented landscapes and weird figures
His unique ideas and techniques have influenced numerous Surrealist artists, both past and present. (SUCH AS?) Dali was chosen to design the opening image of the second ‘Surrealist Manifesto’, published in 1930 and around this time, Dali was developing his own idea about Surrealism. Hi ideas were expressed through his book called ‘The Visible Woman’ (1930). Within this book, he wrote that he felt Surrealist artists should “depict a kind of madness or fever in which a thing could look like one thing one moment and like another the next.”
Each artist paints and or sculpts pieces that show human emotions, religious symbolism, and extreme detail. Leonardo da Vinci is the first artist to be discussed because of his popularity. He is best known for the Mona Lisa. The Mona Lisa was a portrait of a woman that developed a meaning, people said it’s a symbol of the Renaissance information which came from this quote. “The Mona Lisa was originally this type of portrait, but over time its meaning has shifted and it has become an icon of the Renaissance perhaps the most recognized painting in the world.”
The effects Picasso created in his artworks especially the famous “La Demoiselles d’Avignon” (Figure B) is very similar to that of my own drawings. Picasso’s use of basic shapes played a big part in my drawing component as well , as it was these basic shapes that inspired me to place the different parts of Tom and Jerry, that I had selected into. Not only did I take his use of changing viewpoints but I also took his use of basic shapes and incorporated them and changed them to suit me and my idea for this component. For my artwork component his influence was more mental than out on the artworks as the simplicity of his works told me that simple is ok and that I don’t have to think up some very complicated artwork to : one get good marks and two to produce works that are meaningful not just to me but potentially to viewers.
Before analysing further into these figures, It is best to understand who Picasso is, and the historical & personal context of the painting. Picasso was one of the most influential and
