Are Americans really dispised by Europeans like we are led to believe by the media? If so, it would almost certainly be due to a lack of understanding, where is the break-down? The vast majority of Americans are warm caring people.

Ningún otro artista se asocia más con el Arte moderno del término que Pablo Picasso. Creó millares de pinturas, las impresiones, las esculturas y cerámica durante un lapso de acerca de 75 años. Para muchos Picasso es el genio más grande de la arte del siglo xx. Indisputable es que él influyó y dominó el arte del siglo xx quiere a ningún otro artista moderno.

Pablo Picasso nacía en el 25 de octubre de 1881 en Malaga, España, el hijo de un maestro de dibujar. Era un estudiante brillante y pasó el examen de la entrada para la Escuela de Barcelona de bellas artes a los 14 años en sólo un día y se permitió saltarse las primeras dos clases. Según uno de muchas leyendas acerca de la vida de artista, su padre, reconociendo el talento extraordinario de su hijo, le dio sus cepillos y paleta y prometió pintar nunca jamás en su vida.

Durante su vida, el artista atravesó muchos diferentes estilos de pintar. El Período Azul de Picasso duró de acerca de 1900 a 1904. Es caracterizado por el uso de sombras diferentes del subrayado de azul el estilo melancólico de sus sujetos - personas del lado cruel de la vida con cuerpos delgados. Su estilo de la pintura durante estos años es magistral y convence aún los que rechazan su estilo luego moderno.

Las obras de Picasso después del Período Azul, de 1905 a 1906 son del Período Rojo. Durante este periodo, pinturas de Picasso reflejaron un tono amistoso con los retratos del circo.

Después de varios viajes a París, el artista movió permanentemente al "la capital de artes" en 1904. Allí él encontró a todos los otros famosos artistas como Henri Matisse, Joan Miro y George Braques. El llegó a ser un gran admirador de Henri Matisse y desarrolló una amistad de toda la vida con el maestro del Fauvismo francés.

Inspirado por los trabajo de Paul Cezanne, él desarrolló juntos con George Braque y Juan Gris desarrolló el estilo Cubista. En el Cubismo, los sujetos son reducidos a formas geométricas básicas. En una versión posterior del Cubismo, llamó el cubismo sintético, varias vistas de un objeto o una persona se muestran simultáneamente de una perspectiva diferente en un retrato.
Me gusta el arte de Picasso por que él creó obras que fueron muy diferentes de otras pinturas del tiempo.

Do they know Whites fought, and died for their freedom? If Whites "are"
indifferent to Blacks, it's because of the constant assualt on Whites by many
Blacks still today. Neither of us having anything to do with what happened over a 100 years ago! Equality cannot be onesided! It requires "mutual respect"!
I will probably get bullcrap answers, but the Black communities are the ones self-destructing over this! With a large portion of Black males doing time.
Think about it!

I've asked this before, but I'll ask again.

What is greatness?

I have a picture in my mind of greatness, and then again---I don't. Sometimes I think it would be unfathomable to really imagine greatness, because its a thing we name too easily, but never really know.

I want to know what people think greatness is, what it takes for a person to become great--what it takes anything to reach greatness.

I think of Sam, or his son, From Steinbeck's "East of Eden". But then again, that's only something that's been fed to me by a book, it's not something I've devised and recognized as great by myself. Those people aren't even real.

So, other than cliche names that come to mind---please, give me your idea of greatness. Past the media hype and ridiculous blah blah blah's, give me something you've really thought about. Something that maybe even bothers you.

What is greatness? Thanks.

Or /and what foreign nationals did you use to live next door to or went to school with. By nationality of birth or citizenship, not parents or grandparents.

I come from coastal Sussex, which although a port town is not cosmopolitan like London.

The foreign nationals are increasing rapidly, more new ones this year than any other. Some I do not know which part of eastern Europe. These are new nurses.
