11. Monet, Impression: Sunrise Impression: Sunrise, 1872 by Claude Monet, which gave Impressionism its name, was greeted with derision and contempt, because the painter broke with artistic convention.

12. Picasso, Guernica Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) was probably the most significant artist of the early twentieth century.

His passionate involvement in his times infuses his immense painting Guernica, often considered his greatest work. Painted for the Spanish pavilion at the Paris International Exhibition in 1937, this mural, with its mournful white, black, and blue colors, was inspired by the devastation of Guernica by fascist planes in a single night.

The time-killing, pensive resignation, and dejection seen in the three figures are only aspects of the larger problem. One of three talented brothers born in Russia and trained as artists in New York, Isaac Soyer worked in the tradition of American realism and concentrated on people and the influence of their environment.
