Pablo Picasso

Everyone knows the artist Picasso. His ideas changed the world of art for ever. During his lifetime, he became famous and very rich. Now his paintings are some of the most expensive pictures in the world. One painting sold for $106.5 million in New York.

Picasso was born in Spain in 1881. His first word was 'pencil', and he could draw beautifully from an early age. First, he had drawing lessons from his father.Then, he went to art college when he was only 13 years old.Three years later, he was bored and stopped going to classes. Finally, at the age of 19, he moved to Paris — the art capital of the world. He got married twice and had four children.

Picasso often changed his style of painting. For example, after his best friend died, the sad artist painted only in blue.Then he began to use a lot of pinks and oranges. Later, he started to paint using shapes - a style later called 'Cubism'. In his life, he produced over 50,000 works of art. He never retired, but painted nearly every day until his death at the age of 91.

VINCENT VAN GOGH

Vincent van Gogh is a very famous painter. Everyone in the world knows his work, and his paintings sell for millions of dollars. But he wasn't famous when he was alive, and he only sold one painting before he died.
