Artists: Paul Gauguin Gauguin settled into painting as a hobby, after achieving prosperity as a stockbroker. Developing into an obsession, this hobby eventually led him towards a new destiny as one of the world's leading bohemian artists.

Artists: Pablo Picasso There is so much to say about Picasso's genius that it is simply impossible to say it all. An intellectual and a romantic, Picasso made a major impact on art movements in both of the centuries in which he lived. Of course, images speak louder than words, so visit:
