\"Miro<\/a>It\u2019s no surprise that a country so rich in beauty and culture should produce so many of the world\u00b4s renowned artists. Spain is a diverse country and it holds a lot of inspiration for onlookers, particularly those with a creative disposition.<\/p>\n

Pablo Picasso was born in Madrid in 1881 and was particularly known for his co-founding of the Cubist movement which was considered to be of the utmost importance in influencing the art movement during the 20th<\/sup> century. His famous works throughout his life include Guernica<\/i>, Weeping Woman<\/i> and the controversial Les Demoiselles d\u2019Avignon<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Francisco Goya, born on 1746, was a court painter to the Spanish Crown and a Romanticist painter. He was regarded as the greatest Spanish artist of the late eighteenth century as well as the first of the modern artists in the early nineteenth century. His artwork took an unexpected change from light-hearted to sinister works, known as the Black Paintings<\/i>, during the turbulent reign of Ferdinand VII.<\/p>\n

A surrealist artist and part of the Dada movement, Joan Mir\u00f3 received prestigious awards as recognition of his talents, including the Guggenheim International Award and the Gold Medal of Fine Arts which was presented to him by King Juan Carlos of Spain. The Fundaci\u00f3 Joan Mir\u00f3, a modern museum of art, was built in his native city of Barcelona as a dedication to his work, and the Fundaci\u00f3 Pilar i Joan Mir\u00f3 a Mallorca<\/i> was established in Palma de Mallorca to house a major collection of his artwork and memorabilia.<\/p>\n

Just like Mir\u00f3, Salvador Dal\u00ed was also a prominent surrealist artist who was heavily influenced by Cubism and Dada. The eccentric artist from Figueres produced famous works such as The Persistence of Memory<\/em>, Millet\u00b4s Architectonic Angelus<\/em>, and The Invisible Man<\/em>.<\/p>\n
