He began to draw in a conscious age. This happened after he, being a 20-year-old young man, moved the removal of appendicitis. Thoughtful mother to brighten his son's everyday life, decided to give him paints. That's how it all started. Henri was so carried away by art that decided to master professional skills.
The second famous artist is Claude Monet, who also had an entertaining history, which will be discussed below. In no case can you forget about the genius Pablo Picasso, who know all over the world. Fancy paintings Vincent Van Gogh also love very many. It is also impossible to forget about domestic artists - Ivan Aivazovsky deserves an honorable place in our list.
We will consider the listed creators below in more detail. In the meantime, you need to get acquainted with the remaining five best! Great artists of the world, the list of which is simply impossible without the following geniuses, will begin with the name of Isaac Levitan. It is rightly called the primary beauty of the beauty of the Russian nature, which he portrayed Divinely. It was his work that was shown to the whole world that Russia is a real pearl. Jackson Pollock and made a revolution at all in public views on the world of art. Want to know what a secret consisted? And in the fact that his work was little like the paintings! They again resembled paper, wipe paint with careless movement. And only the most observant viewer could see the whole world in the pictures of the midfield.

You can not forget about the cult Person Pop Art Andy Warhol, who screamed his inspiration from ordinary things and created masterpieces. And completes the list of artist expressionist Francis Bacon, who wrote a human body. It is impossible to take a look from his work, it is impossible to stay indifferent.
Ivan Aivazovsky
Great artists of the world, the list of which is above, many are associated with the name Ivan Aivazovsky. Interestingly, he was an Armenian by origin, and his real surname was ovane. Creativity was for Ivan everyone from childhood. Already then he showed great interest and ability. In addition to drawing, he played the violin perfectly. Marine motives are very noticeable in his work, and not in vain, because he was a famous fan and connoisseur of the sea. He portrayed the quiet and rainy sea, shipwreck, calm, breeze, etc. What is the "Ice Mountains" paintings, the "Black Sea" and "Wave".
Vincent Van Gogh.
Great artists of the world and their paintings are a real treasure for all mankind. What a joy that anyone can admire the creations of the Great! The next our hero is Vincent Van Gogh - an artist from the Netherlands. He created a huge number of pictures that can be enjoyed forever. His works are full of secrets, mysteries and parallels. Writing paintings He began in adulthood. In the youth, he was pretty clamped and modest, was often silent and flew in his thoughts. When he went to work, she woke up thirst for drawing. It so happened that every day he could observe the best works of art. Such a pastime imposed a fingerprint on his future work. After painful failure in love, he decided to test himself, and it turned out that he really draws great! After some oscillations, he left the former place of work to completely devote himself to his beloved business.
Pablo Picasso
As early, the great artists of the world and their paintings have already been said - this is a gift that people should take care and transmit from generation to generation. The next great artist is Pablo Picasso. His name knows everyone, only rare creators achieved such popularity. It is entertaining that his famous picture "Nude, green leaves and bust" is the most expensive picture in the world! He was not only a talented artist, but still excellent designer, ceramist and schedule. Moreover, imagine the art of the last century without this genius is simply impossible. You will not believe, but for your life he wrote 20 thousand works, each of which is a unique and adorable world. This artist worked from the earliest years, and his father was taught skill. The inspiration of Pablo Picasso was looking for a fairy tale that Mom compiled him.
Henri Matisse
We talked about this artist a little at the very beginning. I would like to add that the boy's father was categorically against such a "career". The greatest artists of the world have always walked to success through thorns. Despite the prohibitions, the young man still continued to gain experience. It is quite difficult to determine its style, most of all it is similar to impressionism. It is worth a confession that at first Henri Matisss only copied the famous paintings, but then began to create masterpieces himself. The most famous pictures are "the joy of life", "conversation" and "Paris dance".
Claude Monet
Great artists of the world very often had a difficult childhood. Maybe after experienced difficulties opens "second breathing"? The famous artist Claude Monet was a difficult boy that few people understood. In the lessons, he was engaged in the fact that he painted the fields of notebooks by caricatures on teachers and neighbors on the desk. He began to know very quickly. At first they came to him in order to laugh, and then he began to take money for work. Claude Monet became a popular person who gave joy and laughter. Despite this, the money was not an end in itself, and he earned on this pennies. After some time, he met a landscape officer who decided to take on the guy's teaching. Only after this fateful meeting has changed his life. Claude Monet truly loved the nature and the masterfully depicted it.
Now we know the names of the Great Artists of the World. It is always worth remembering them, because this "pillars" of art, on which modern culture holds. Great artists of the world gave us unforgettable masterpieces, for which it is worth saying a lot thank you!

Later, Aivazovsky returned to his homeland, where he received the uniform of the Maritime Ministry and the title of Academician. Also, the artist visited Egypt and attended when the new Suez Channel was opened. The artist described all his impressions in the paintings. By this time he had already developed his unique style and the ability to write in memory. Sophisticated elements Aivazovsky sketched in a notebook to move them later to the canvas.

Therefore, at the age of 10, Victor began to study in a free spiritual seminary.
In 1866, almost without money, he went to St. Petersburg. Vasnetsov easily coped with the entrance exam and entered the Academy of Arts. Here his friendship began with the famous Repin artist, with whom he later went to Paris. After returning to St. Petersburg, Vasnetsov begins to write his most famous paintings: "Three heroes", "Snow Maiden" and "God Savaof."
The artist was able to fully reveal his talent only after moving to Moscow. Here it is cozy and comfortable, and each subsequent picture is better than the previous one. It was in Moscow that Vasnetsov wrote such paintings as "Alyonushka", "Ivan Tsarevich and a gray wolf" and "Nestor Chronicler".

5. Isaac Levitan
This great Russian master of landscapes was born in Lithuania, but all his life lived in Russia. Repeatedly, his Jewish origin caused him a lot of humiliation, but it did not make it offended this country, which he idolized and praised in his paintings.
Already the first landscapes of Levitan received high estimates of Perov and Savrasov, and Tretyakov himself even bought his picture of the "Autumn Day in Sokolniki". But in 1879, Isaac Levitan, together with all Jews, exhibit from Moscow. Only enormous efforts of friends and teachers he managed to return to the city.
In the 1880s, the artist wrote a lot of stunning paintings that made it very famous. These were "pines", "Autumn" and "First Snow". But the next humiliation forced the author to leave Moscow again and go to the Crimea. On the peninsula, the artist writes a number of amazing works and significantly improves its financial condition. This allows him to travel in Europe and get acquainted with the work of world masters. The vertex of creativity of Levitan became his picture "Over the Eternal Region".

8. Alexey Savrasov
The paintings of this Russian artist were already well sold, hardly he was 12 years old. A little later, he entered the Moscow School of Painting and instantly became one of the best disciples. A trip to Ukraine helped Savrasov ahead of schedule to complete the school and get the title of the artist.
Pictures "Stone in the Forest" and "Moscow Kremlin" made from this painter academician at 24 years old! Young talent is interested in the royal family, and Tretyakov himself buys many of his works for international exhibitions. Among them were "Winter", "Graci flew", "Rasolota" and others.
The death of two daughters and the subsequent divorce strongly affect Savrasov. He drinks a lot and soon dies in the hospital for the poor.
9. Andrei Rublev

He was engaged in the painting of the Kiev Temple, and later in Moscow began to create his famous series of "demonic" paintings. Creative throwing of this artist did not find a proper understanding of his contemporaries. Only a few decades after the death of Mikhail Vrubel, art historians gave him due, and the church agreed with his interpretations of biblical events.
Unfortunately, the personal life of the artist was the cause of developing a serious form of mental disorders. The rank of academician overtook him in a house for crazy, from where he was no longer judged. Nevertheless, Mikhail Vrubel managed to create a lot of amazing works of art that are worthy of genuine admiration. Among them, it is especially worth highlighting the pictures "Demon Sitting", "Tsarevna-Swan" and "Faust".
Magnificent works of art's arts of great masters are able to surprise even people for whom art means little. That is why world name museums are among the most popular attractions that attract millions of visitors a year.
To stand out from a huge number of paintings written in the history of art, the artist needs not just talent, but also the ability to express a unique plot of an unusual and very relevant way for its time.
The pictures presented below loudly declare not only about the talent of their authors, but also about numerous cultural trends that appeared and disappeared, and the most important historical events that have always been reflected in art.
