Richard Wagner
Richard Wagner (1813-1883) was a German composer best known for his operas. Wagner began learning the piano when he was very young, and was soon able to write musical compositions. Wagner's music is renowned for its complex nature, its harmonies and the way in which individual characters, places, ideas or plot elements in his operas are associated with musical themes.
Zhu Guangqian
Zhu Guangqian (1897-1986) was a pioneer of Chinese modern aesthetics studies. Active in China’s literary and philosophical scenes, from the 1930s he successively held positions as Dean of several colleges and universities, as well as being president of the Chinese Aesthetics Institution. He wrote and translated several works on aesthetics, including The History of Western Aesthetics, the first monograph in China to systematically expound upon the development of Western aesthetics.
Auguste Rodin
Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) was a French artist, whose work had a great influence on modern art. His most original sculptures are of the human body. They show realism and celebrate characteristics of the individual. Rodin’s first original human sculpture was inspired by a visit to Italy in 1875. Later he explored his personal style and gained his reputation as a sculptor at the age of 40. Today, Rodin remains one of the few sculptors widely known worldwide.
Pablo Picasso
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Born in Spain, Picasso's artistic talent was evident from a very early age. His works are often categorised into periods, for example the Blue Period and the Rose Period. Among his most famous paintings are the cubist, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, and Guernica. Picasso’s later works often combined elements of his earlier styles.
