The art world in the early 20th century was influenced by a remarkable group
of now famous Spanish artists: Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris
and Joan Miró.
Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí Domènech, (May 11, 1904 – January
23, 1989) was a Spanish artist who became one of the most important painters
of the 20th century. He is best known for his surrealist work identified by
its striking, bizarre, dreamlike images, combined with his excellent draftsmanship
and painting skills influenced by the Renaissance masters. An artist of great
talent and imagination, he had a love of doing unusual things to draw attention
to himself. This sometimes irked those who loved his art as much as it annoyed
his critics, since his eccentric theatrical manner sometimes overshadowed his
artwork in public attention. See also the Dali museum.
Pablo Ruiz y Picasso (October 25, 1881 – April 8, 1973) was a Spanish
painter and sculptor. Also one of the most recognized figures in 20th century
art, he is best known as the co-founder, along with Georges Braque, of cubism.
Extremely prolific throughout his long lifetime, he produced around 13,500
paintings, 100,000 prints and engravings, 34,000 book illustrations and 300
sculptures.
José Victoriano González-Pérez (March 23, 1887 – May
11, 1927), better known as Juan Gris, was a Spanish painter and sculptor who
lived and worked in France most of his life. His works are closely connected
