German composer, a romantic music master
He is an important master in the history of German opera, and a figure connecting the past and the future. He inherited Mozart's opera tradition and started the composing trend of post-romantic opera which was followed by Richard Strauss.
At the same time, because of the complexity of his political and religious thoughts (anti-Semitism), he became the most controversial figure in the history of European music.

黎恩济（Rienzi, derLetztederTribunen1837-40）
漂泊的荷兰人（DerFliegendeHoll nder, 1843）
汤豪舍（Tannh user, 1845）

Auguste Rodin
Auguste Rodin
(November 12th, 1840—November 17th, 1917
French sculpture artist who is regarded as the greatest realistic sculpture artist in 19th century and early 20th century. Rodin's position in the history of European sculpture is just like that of poet Dante (但丁) in the history of European literature. Rodin and his two students, Mayol and Boodell, are known as the "three pillars" of European sculpture.
He worked hard all his life, dared to break through the shackles of the official academic school and go his own way. He was good at absorbing and had a deep understanding of the beautiful and vivid techniques of ancient Greek sculpture. His works built a bridge between modern and contemporary sculpture. Rodin was an epoch-making figure in the history of western sculpture.

Pablo Picasso
Pablo Ruiz Picasso
(October 25th, 1881—April 8th, 1973）
Spanish painter, sculptor, founder of Cubist School, one of the main representatives of modern art in the 20th century, who is called "a rare genius in the history of human art".
He is one of the few painters who could gain fame and fortune before their death. He has left more than 20,000 works behind, including oil paintings, sketches and sculptures. His private collection, including the works of himself and his friends, has been donated to the French government.
On April 8, 1973, Picasso died at the age of 92.
Starting out
灵感是存在的，但是灵感在我们工作时才会出现。
毕加索
Starting out
Inspiration:
a feeling of enthusiasm you get from someone or something, that gives you new and creative ideas
Imagination:
the ability that you have to form pictures or ideas in your mind of things that are new and exciting, or things that you have not
Rediscover:
to become aware of again or find again something good or valuable that you had forgotten or lost
An artist's duty is rather to stay open-minded and in a state where he can receive information and inspiration.
The artist must bow to the monster of his own imagiantion.
A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.
