HISTORICAL FIGURES
SPAIN
Pablo Picasso was born in 1881 in Málaga in Andalusia, a region of Spain. His father was a painter who specialized in painting birds. He was also a professor of art at the School of Crafts. Picasso showed a passion and a skill for drawing from an early age. From the age of seven, Picasso received formal artistic training from his father in figure drawing and oil painting.
When Picasso was only sixteen his father and uncle decided to send him to Madrid to study at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. This art school was the most renowned art school in the country. However, Picasso disliked formal instruction and quickly stopped attending classes. He decided to create his own individual type of art, which was later called cubism.
Picasso began to paint in a new way. He wanted to show three-dimensional characteristics on a flat canvas. In order to achieve that, he broke up the subject into many different shapes and then repainted it from different angles. Picasso painted The Young Ladies of Avignon in 1907. It was the first Cubist painting.
Picasso’s technique of painting became popular, so other artists such as Georges Braque, Jean Metzinger and Albert Gleizes started to paint in his style.

Sigmund Freud was an Austrian scientist. He invented psychoanalysis, a method of treating mental disorders. Freud was one of the most-influential scientists of the 1900s.
Early Life
Freud was born on May 6, 1856, in Freiberg, Moravia, in the Austrian Empire. His father, Jakob, was a wool merchant. Jakob moved the family to Vienna, Austria, when Sigmund was a young boy. After his graduation from secondary school in 1873, he attended the University of Vienna, where he studied medicine
In late 1885 Freud traveled to Paris, France, to continue his studies of neuropathology. His time in Paris was very important to his career. It was here that he discovered the possibility that mental disorders may have their source in the mind rather than the brain. This means that some mental problems do not occur in the nerves of the brain but rather in the mental state of the person.
Freud returned to Vienna in 1886 and married Martha Bernays. They had six children. One of his children, Anna, became a distinguished psychoanalyst.
Psychoanalysis
During the 1890s Freud studied emotionally unstable patients by putting them in a state called hypnosis. While the patients were hypnotized, Freud noticed that they talked freely about anything that came to mind. Patients showed improvement after these sessions. His investigations led him to develop new ideas about the structure of personality.
Freud published a number of writings about his work. The Interpretation of Dreams is considered his masterwork. In it, Freud argues that dreams play an important role in mental health. Sigmund Freud believed that dreams were a window into the unconscious mind, and that they revealed repressed desires and anxieties. He also believed that all dreams were symbolic, and that symbols in dreams could be interpreted to reveal hidden meanings.
Last Days
Freud lived and worked in Vienna for almost all of his life. However, when Nazi Germany took over Austria in 1938, he was forced to escape to England because he was Jewish. Freud died there, in London, on September 23, 1939.
