Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech

(May 11, 1904 – January 23, 1989)

Dali was a prominent Spanish Catalan surrealist painter born in Figueres.

Dalí was a skilled draftsman, best known for the striking and bizarre images in his surrealist work. His painterly skills are often attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters. His best-known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in 1931. Dalí's expansive artistic repertoire includes film, sculpture, and photography, in collaboration with a range of artists in a variety of media.

Amedeo Clemente Modigliani

July 12, 1884 – January 24, 1920

Modigliani was born in Livorno, Italy. He belonged to the group of artists called "School of Paris" and was considered one of the best artists of Europe. The alcohol, drugs, women and the illness he had, ruined his life and only after his death did his art become famous. Modigliani was inspired by Paul Cézanne, Cubism and Picasso`s blue period.
