Artists and their biography. "Daffodils and tablecloth in blue and pink tones"
Many people who are interested in painting are forced to give up this activity, since it is not easy to break out among people and become a famous and sought-after artist. And yet some managed to do it. Find out which artists are the most famous.
The most famous artists
So, the top 10 most famous artists in the world:
I started drawing by accident and far from my childhood. At the age of 20, Henri underwent surgery to remove it, and his mother bought him paints and paper. Matisse first copied color postcards, and then became so interested in drawing that he even decided to become a professional artist.
Despite his father's protests, Henri began to study painting. Matisse's painting style was very unusual and similar to impressionism. At first, Henri copied the works of foreign masters, and then began to create his own masterpieces. The most famous works of Henri Matisse are “Parisian Dance”, “Joy of Life”, “Conversation”, “ Family portrait", "Red Room".
By the way, Matisse even opened his own painting school. Today his paintings are kept in best museums and are in the collections of the richest people.
He was a difficult teenager and during school lessons, instead of completing assignments, he painted the covers of his notebooks with funny portraits of his classmates and teachers. Soon many people learned about Claude’s talent, and he became a very famous cartoonist in his city, and later began to take money for his work. But then Monet met an experienced landscape artist who began teaching him.
And only then Claude fell in love with nature and learned to feel it. The guy expressed his emotions in drawings, which later became so popular that today they are included in the best collections of paintings. The most famous works: “Sunset over the sea”, “Sunflowers”, “Tulips of Holland”, “By the sea”, “Road in the forest”, “Still life with meat”.
Today everyone knows his name, like the most best works, which include “Girl on a Ball”, “Life”, “Bathers”, “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon” and many others. And his painting “Nude, green leaves and Bust" became the most expensive painting ever sold.
Picasso was talented artist, graphic artist, designer, ceramist, as well as decorator and sculptor. He is the founder of Cubism. In addition, Picasso contributed huge contribution In the development of art of the last century, it probably would not have been the same without this man.
In total, Pablo completed about 20 thousand works during his life, each of which was unique and unrepeatable. Picasso began drawing from the very beginning early age, and took his first painting lessons from his father, who was an art teacher (Pablo himself later held this position). And young Picasso drew inspiration from fairy tales that his mother made up herself and told to her son at night.
4. Vincent Van Gogh – Dutch artist- a post-impressionist who created many amazing and unusual works. Vincent was a difficult teenager, but to outsiders he seemed thoughtful and serious. Van Gogh began to draw later, when he began working in an art and trading company.
Every day Vincent came into contact with works of art, so he learned to appreciate them. After failed love Things began to deteriorate for the young Van Gogh dealer, and at some point he decided to try his hand at painting. But still, Vincent had to earn a living, although he did not like the work. After several failures, Van Gogh decided to devote himself entirely to painting and gave the world many masterpieces.
- artist Armenian origin(his real name is Hovhannes). From childhood, Ivan showed signs of Creative skills, he even taught himself to play the violin. Aivazovsky also drew beautifully and constantly developed his abilities.
Ivan especially appreciated and idolized the sea, and that is why among his works gorgeous seascapes, which depict storms, shipwrecks, waves and depths. The most famous paintings the artist’s works are “The Ninth Wave”, “Venice”, “Chaos”, “Sinking Ship”, “Ice Mountains”, “Wave”, “Black Sea”.
- an artist who was practically the discoverer of the beauties of Russian nature. He loved everything: trees, every blade of grass, the sky, dew drops, flowers. And this love of his is clearly visible in the paintings, each of which is a real masterpiece.
His landscapes proved to everyone that Russia is not a gray, boring country, as was previously thought, but an incredibly a nice place. Here are some of the artist’s most famous works: “ evening call, evening Bell", "March", " Golden autumn" By the way, many of his landscapes are still used as illustrations and published in textbooks.
is a truly unique and legendary artist who changed society’s views on painting. Distinctive feature Pollock's works were that they bore little resemblance to paintings. It may look like someone has spilled paint on the paper, but upon closer inspection, you can see something mysterious and profound.
And Jackson himself was completely immersed in the process and expressed his emotions through the canvas. He laid the paper on the floor and used it to draw broken glass, liquid paints, scoops, knives and sticks. Pollock's most famous works are "Number 5" (this is the most expensive painting artist), “Moon Woman Cutting a Circle” and “She-Wolf”.
Known for painting portraits of most famous people. But it’s not in vain that the stars turn to Nikas, he is very talented. Safronov was born into a simple family and achieved everything on his own. In addition, this is one of the few artists who managed to become famous during his lifetime. Nikas's list of works includes portraits of such celebrities as Mike Tyson, Sophia Loren, Mick Jagger, Julio Iglesias, Elton John, Sting, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson and many others.
– perhaps the most iconic and significant person in the history of pop art. Andy started drawing as a child. At first he illustrated magazines, but then decided to create independent work, drawing inspiration from food, beverages and other consumer goods.
He painted canned food, fruits, and alcoholic drinks. But all the paintings were distinguished by a special manner of execution. The drawings were so eccentric and bright that they simply could not be ignored.
– master of figurative painting and expressionist artist. The main theme of his works is human body. But Francis usually painted bodies elongated, distorted, enclosed in some figures or objects. Bacon's most famous works are “The Sleeping Man”, “The Woman”, the triptych “The Crucifixion”, as well as “Three Sketches for a Portrait of Lucian Freud”.
These were the most famous artists of all time.
Among all the most famous artists, I would like to especially note the work of the artist Miftyakhov Marat Khaidarovich.
The landscapes of Marat are amazing and unique.
Pictures can be different: realistic and unrealistic, understandable and incomprehensible.
If you see that a glass is drawn in the picture, then this is completely obvious, so what is there to think about? You looked at the picture and realized that it was a glass, tomorrow you looked again and again and realized that it was a glass... Most likely, having looked at such a picture once, you will not want to look at it again, since it is obvious and does not need in the explanation. Marat's paintings are the complete opposite of such paintings. They attract and fascinate because they depict completely unfamiliar and incomprehensible objects and landscapes, creating fantastic views in combination with each other.
The paintings contain many different small parts.
It is very difficult to examine the entire picture in detail at once; such pictures require multiple viewings. And every time, approaching the picture, the viewer can discover something new, something that he had not noticed before. This quality is inherent in all Marat’s paintings and it makes viewing them even more attractive. The paintings are information-rich and carry a deep philosophical meaning.
“I consider Renato Guttuso the most significant artist of modern Western Europe"- wrote J. Berger.
And here are the words of Carlo Levi: “Guttuso is a great artist: and not only of Sicily and Italy. Now he is one of major artists in the world. “I am deeply convinced of this and am happy that I can declare this without restrictions or reservations, with full responsibility.”
Renato Guttuso was born in Sicily in Bagheria near Palermo on December 26, 1911 (according to other sources - January 2, 1912), in the family of a land surveyor. He received his first professional skills from folk artist Emilio Murdolo, who painted carriages. While studying at the Lyceum, Guttuso was simultaneously engaged in painting: he became acquainted with books on art and visited artists’ workshops. At the end of the twenties, his first paintings appeared.
At the first Quadriennale (a four-year exhibition of Italian artists), he achieved minor success - critics drew attention to two of his paintings.
Already during his lifetime, Dali’s name was surrounded by a halo of world fame. No one except Pablo Picasso could compare with him in fame.
The famous film director Alfred Hitchcock wrote: “I appreciated Dali for the cutting contours of his paintings - of course, in many ways similar to the paintings of de Chirico - for his long shadows, endless defamiliarization, an elusive line that goes into infinity, for faces without form. Naturally, he invented many more very strange things that could not be realized.”
Dali said about his painting: “How do you want to understand my paintings when I myself, who created them, don’t understand them either. The fact that at the moment when I paint I do not understand my paintings does not mean that these paintings do not have any meaning, on the contrary, their meaning is so deep, complex, connected, involuntary that it eludes simple logical analysis.”
Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dali y Domenech was born on May 11, 1904 in the small town of Figueres (Girona province), in the family of a lawyer. He was christened with the same name as his brother, who died at age seven from meningitis. In his autobiography, the artist writes: “Having been born, I took the place of the adored dead man, who continued to be loved through me... All my subsequent eccentric actions, all my inconsistent antics were the tragic constant of my life: I had to prove to myself that I was not mine dead brother, but himself - alive. This is how I encountered the myth of Castor and Pollux: by killing my own brother within me, I won my own immortality.”
“Realism is not a formula established once and for all, not a dogma, not an unchangeable law. Realism, as a form of reflection of reality, must be in constant movement", says Siqueiros. And one more of his statements: “The viewer is not a statue that is included in linear perspective paintings... he is the one who moves across its entire surface... a person, observing the painting, complements the artist’s creativity with his movement.”
On December 29, 1896, in the Mexican town of Chihuahua, a son, José David Alfaro Siqueiros, was born to Don Cipriano Alfaro and Teresa Siqueiros. By the age of eleven, he showed a gift for painting, so in 1907 the boy was sent to study at the National preparatory school in Mexico City. Shortly after this, Alfaro begins to study in classes Art Academy"San Carlos".
Here Siqueiros becomes one of the student leaders and rouses the academy to protest and strike. The artist recalls: “What were the goals of our strike? What did we demand? Our demands concerned both educational and political issues. We wanted to put an end to the stale academic routine that reigned supreme in our school. At the same time, we also made some demands of an economic nature... We demanded nationalization railways. All of Mexico laughed at us... Frankly speaking, I am deeply convinced that it was on that day that an artist-citizen, an artist living public interests…»
Plastov's canvases are full of life-affirming power. Through color and thanks to color, he fills his paintings with a living, vibrant feeling. The artist says: “I love this life. And when you see it year after year... you think that you need to tell people about it... Our life is full and rich, there are so many amazingly interesting things in it that even the ordinary everyday affairs of our people attract attention and shake the soul. You have to be able to see it, notice it.”
Arkady Aleksandrovich Plastov was born on January 31, 1893 in the village of Prislonikha, Simbirsk province, into the family of a village icon painter. His parents dreamed of their son becoming a priest. After completing three classes at a rural school, in 1903 Arkady was sent to Simbirskoe religious school. Five years later he entered the Simbirsk Theological Seminary.
In the spring of the same 1908, he came into close contact with the work of a team of icon painters who were renovating the church in Prislonikha. “When they started setting up the scaffolding,” the artist writes in his autobiography, “grinding paints, boiling drying oil on the steep bank of the river, I myself was not myself and walked, enchanted, around the visiting miracle workers.” Watching how a new, unprecedented world of images was born on the walls of the old, grimy church, the boy firmly decided: “To be only a painter and nothing else.”
You can understand Chagall by “feeling” and not by “understanding.” “The sky and flight are the main state of Chagall’s brush,” noted Andrei Voznesensky.
“I walked on the Moon,” said the artist, “when astronauts did not yet exist. In my paintings the characters were in the sky and in the air...”
Mark Zakharovich Chagall was born on July 7, 1887 in the city of Vitebsk. He was the eldest of ten children of a small merchant. His father served as a worker for a herring merchant, and his mother, Feiga, ran a small shop. In 1905, Mark graduated from a four-year city vocational school.
Mark’s first teacher was Yu.M. in 1906. Peng. In his autobiography entitled “My Life,” Chagall dedicated the following lines to Yuri Moiseevich: “Pen is dear to me. So his trembling figure stands before my eyes. In my memory, he lives next to his father. Often, mentally walking through the deserted streets of my city, I keep bumping into him. How many times was I ready to beg him, standing on the threshold of the school: I don’t need fame, just to become like you, a humble master, or to hang, instead of your paintings, on your street, in your house, next to you. Let me!”
Famous critic Paul Husson wrote in 1922 about Modigliani:
“After Gauguin, he undoubtedly knew best how to express the feeling of the tragic in his work, but with him this feeling was more intimate and usually devoid of any exclusivity.
...This artist carries within himself all the unspoken aspirations for new expressiveness, characteristic of an era that thirsts for the absolute and does not know the path to it.”
Amedeo Clemente Modigliani was born on July 12, 1884 into a family of Italian Jews. His father, Flaminio Modigliani, after the bankruptcy of his Firewood and Coal office, headed the intermediary's office. Mother, Evgenia Garsen, came from a merchant family.
Picasso said: “Art is a lie that helps us understand the truth.”
Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born on October 25, 1881 in Malaga, Spain, into the family of the artist Don José Ruiz and Maria Picasso y Lopez. Over time, the artist took his mother's surname. My father was a modest art teacher who sometimes carried out orders for interior painting. The boy started drawing very early. The very first sketches amaze with artistry and professional skill. First picture young artist It was called "Picador".
When Pablo turns ten years old, he and his family move to La Coruña. In 1892 he entered the local Art school, where his father teaches a drawing and ornament class.
G.S. Oganov writes: “...The artist sought to reveal the life of the image through the expressiveness of form, hence the search for dynamic tension, rhythm and color. Of course, the viewer is amazed not by these searches themselves, but, above all, by the result. And this result in Petrov-Vodkin always goes beyond purely compositional, decorative, pictorial quests - the life of the spirit is always present here in a concrete psychological and at the same time philosophically generalized expression. This gives scale to his works and makes them, despite all the external, formal parallels with ancient Russian or modern Western European art, original, unique, deeply independent works.”
Kuzma Sergeevich Petrov-Vodkin was born on the Volga in the small town of Khvalynsk on November 5, 1878. He was the first-born in the family of shoemaker Sergei Fedorovich Vodkin and his wife Anna Panteleevna, née Petrova. When the boy was in his third year, his father was recruited as a soldier and sent to serve in St. Petersburg, on Okhta. Soon Anna Panteleevna moved there along with her little son. After two and a half years, she returned to Khvalynsk, where her mother entered service in the house of local rich people. Kuzma lived with her in the outbuilding.
I.E. Repin called Kustodiev “a hero of Russian painting.” “A great Russian artist - and with a Russian soul,” another said about him famous painter- M.V. Nesterov. And here is what N.A. writes: Sautin: “Kustodiev is an artist of versatile talent. A magnificent painter, he entered Russian art as the author of significant works everyday genre, original landscapes and portraits with deep content. An excellent draftsman and graphic artist, Kustodiev worked in linocut and woodcut printing, performed book illustrations and theatrical sketches. He developed his own original artistic system, managed to feel and embody the original features of Russian life.”
Boris Mikhailovich Kustodiev was born on March 7, 1878 in Astrakhan. His father, Mikhail Lukich Kustodiev, who taught Russian language, literature, and logic at the Astrakhan girls' gymnasium and seminary, died when the boy was not even two years old. All worries about raising four children fell on the shoulders of the mother, Ekaterina Prokhorovna. Mother rented a small outbuilding in the house of a wealthy merchant. As Boris Mikhailovich recalls: “The whole way of life of the rich and abundant merchant life was in full view... These were living types of Ostrovsky...” Decades later, these impressions materialize in Kustodiev’s paintings.
Founder of his own abstract style- Suprematism - Kazimir Severinovich Malevich was born on February 23, 1878 (according to other sources - 1879) in Kyiv. Parents Severin Antonovich and Ludviga Alexandrovna were Poles by origin. Later artist recalled: “The circumstances in which my childhood life took place were as follows: my father worked at beet and sugar factories, which are usually built in the deep wilderness, far from large and small cities.”
Around 1890, my father was transferred to the plant, which was located in the village of Parkhomovka, near Belopolye. Here Kazimir graduates from a five-year agricultural school: “The village... was engaged in art (I didn’t know such a word then)... I watched with great excitement how the peasants made paintings, and helped them smear the floors of the huts with clay and make patterns on the stove... The whole life of the peasants fascinated me strongly... It was against this background that feelings for art, for art, developed in me.” Four years later, the family moved to the plant in Volchok, and then moved to Konotop.
There are works of art that seem to hit the viewer over the head, stunning and amazing. Others draw you into thought and a search for layers of meaning and secret symbolism. Some paintings are shrouded in secrets and mystical mysteries, while others surprise with exorbitant prices.
We carefully reviewed all the main achievements in world painting and selected from them two dozen of the most strange paintings. Salvador Dali, whose works completely fall within the format of this material and are the first to come to mind, were not included in this collection on purpose.
It is clear that “weirdness” is a rather subjective concept and everyone has their own amazing paintings, standing out from other works of art. We will be glad if you share them in the comments and tell us a little about them.
"Scream"
Edvard Munch. 1893, cardboard, oil, tempera, pastel.
National Gallery, Oslo.
The Scream is considered a landmark expressionist event and one of the most famous paintings in the world.
There are two interpretations of what is depicted: it is the hero himself who is gripped by horror and silently screams, pressing his hands to his ears; or the hero closes his ears from the cry of the world and nature sounding around him. Munch wrote four versions of “The Scream,” and there is a version that this painting is the fruit of manic-depressive psychosis from which the artist suffered. After a course of treatment at the clinic, Munch did not return to work on the canvas.
“I was walking along the path with two friends. The sun was setting - suddenly the sky turned blood red, I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned against the fence - I looked at the blood and flames over the bluish-black fjord and city. My friends moved on, and I stood, trembling with excitement, feeling an endless scream piercing nature,” Edvard Munch said about the history of the creation of the painting.
“Where did we come from? Who are we? Where are we going?"
Paul Gauguin. 1897-1898, oil on canvas.
Museum fine arts, Boston.
According to Gauguin himself, the painting should be read from right to left - three main groups of figures illustrate the questions posed in the title.
Three women with a child represent the beginning of life; middle group symbolizes the daily existence of maturity; in the final group, according to the artist’s plan, “ old woman, approaching death, seems reconciled and given over to her thoughts”, at her feet “a strange White bird...represents the futility of words.”
The deeply philosophical painting of the post-impressionist Paul Gauguin was painted by him in Tahiti, where he fled from Paris. Upon completion of the work, he even wanted to commit suicide: “I believe that this painting is superior to all my previous ones and that I will never create something better or even similar.” He lived another five years, and so it happened.
"Guernica"
Pablo Picasso. 1937, oil on canvas.
Reina Sofia Museum, Madrid.
Guernica presents scenes of death, violence, brutality, suffering and helplessness, without specifying their immediate causes, but they are obvious. It is said that in 1940, Pablo Picasso was summoned to the Gestapo in Paris. The conversation immediately turned to the painting. “Did you do this?” - “No, you did it.”
The huge fresco painting “Guernica,” painted by Picasso in 1937, tells the story of a raid by a Luftwaffe volunteer unit on the city of Guernica, as a result of which the city of six thousand was completely destroyed. The painting was painted literally in a month - the first days of work on the painting, Picasso worked for 10-12 hours, and already in the first sketches one could see main idea. This is one of the best illustrations of the nightmare of fascism, as well as human cruelty and grief.
"Portrait of the Arnolfini couple"
Jan van Eyck. 1434, wood, oil.
London National Gallery, London.
The famous painting is completely filled with symbols, allegories and various references - right down to the signature “Jan van Eyck was here”, which turned the painting not just into a work of art, but into historical document, confirming the reality of the event at which the artist was present.
The portrait, supposedly of Giovanni di Nicolao Arnolfini and his wife, is one of the most complex works of the Western school of Northern Renaissance painting.
In Russia, over the past few years, the painting has gained great popularity due to Arnolfini’s portrait resemblance to Vladimir Putin.
"Demon Seated"
Mikhail Vrubel. 1890, oil on canvas.
State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow.
"The hands resist him"
Bill Stoneham. 1972.
This work, of course, cannot be ranked among the masterpieces of world painting, but the fact that it is strange is a fact.
There are legends surrounding the painting with a boy, a doll and his hands pressed against the glass. From “people are dying because of this picture” to “the children in it are alive.” The picture looks really creepy, which gives rise to a lot of fears and speculation among people with weak psyches.
The artist assured that the picture depicts himself at the age of five, that the door is a representation of the dividing line between real world and the world of dreams, and the doll is a guide who can guide the boy through this world. Hands represent alternative lives or possibilities.
The painting gained notoriety in February 2000 when it was put up for sale on eBay with a backstory saying that the painting was “haunted.” “Hands Resist Him” was bought for $1,025 by Kim Smith, who was then simply inundated with letters from creepy stories and demands to burn the painting.

Among the works of architecture - the design of the dome of St. Peter's Basilica. It is interesting that Michelangelo became the first representative of Western European art whose biography was written during his lifetime.
In fourth place on the list of the most famous artists in the world is Masaccio (December 21, 1401-1428), a great Italian artist who had a huge influence on other masters. Masaccio lived a very short life, so there is little biographical evidence about him. Only four of his frescoes have survived, which are undoubtedly the work of Masaccio. Others are believed to have been destroyed. Masaccio's most famous work is considered to be the fresco of the Trinity in the Church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy.
