Albert Durer
Albrecht Durer (1471 -- 1528
(WATT)
Albrecht Durer was born in Nurembourg on May 21, 1471. Albrecht Durer's father, Albrecht Durer the Elder was a famous goldsmith. In 1455, he travelled from Germany to Nurembourg and got married to Barbara Holper. Albert Durer was the third kid of his parents. He had eighteen siblings. Albert Durer's father was a really hard working man. He used to work eighteen hours a day that apparently shows that he had no extra time for his children, but he was a great father. He used to take time out to teach art to his son. He actually was Albert Durer's first art teacher.

They decided to toss a coin and whoever wins will go to Nurnberg academy for studying art and the one who loses the toss will stay at home, work hard for earnings and through the money earned will support the other brother. Luck played an important role, and finally Albert won the toss and was sent to Nurnberg academy in order to polish his skills of art. He spent four years at school and learnt a lot of important skills in artistry. At the end of these four years, he turned out to be a better artist even than his Professor.
After completing his studies, Albert returned home with an aim of supporting his brother for studies, but he was sad to find out his brother in the state of disability. His hands and fingers had been paralyzed. In the absence of Albert Durer, his brother had been working really hard in mines that his fingers had been damaged. In return to his brother's great loss, Albert decided to pay thanks and as a symbol of appreciation, Albert painted his brother's hand.
That was the initial step and after that, Durer's art started to excel. He started to portray goldsmith, music and...

Art After 1980 What is art? That question has been dissected and examined from every perspective for millennia. When the concept of modern art is brought up, the immediate impression is a large canvas with solid-colored geometrical shapes that is supposed to have some deeper meaning about humanity. This perspective is obviously very limited. Those who have understanding of the reality of modern and contemporary art know that this is far
Artists Biography of Pablo Picasso Picasso is not just a man and his work. Picasso is always a legend, indeed almost a myth.
