Biographies

This combo contains several biographies of scientists and artists that have become famous in the history books. Let's take a look at which ones.

Claude Monet - Claude Monet has been the icon for the impressionist movement. Painting vague strokes of color and contrast, water, and flowers were typical. Other aspects of the art weren’t as clear but were just as important, nonetheless.

Claude Monet certainly faced many struggles as he tried to build his passion for painting into a career.

Vincent van Gogh - Vincent van Gogh is undoubtedly one of the most influential painters of the end of the 19th century. His style was unique in that he used all types of colors in a painting that didn’t show those colors in reality and somehow, he still made it work and look like an actual shape. Different from other impressionistic artists, he developed his still lifes, his portraits, and other beautiful paintings.

Edgar Allan Poe - Perhaps you have heard of Edgar Allan Poe. Perhaps not. Either way, this 19th-century author has received quite some fame for his works and his unique style. His mystery and gruesome horror stories, comedy, and other genres have reached far into the depths of American literature.

Thomas Edison - Thomas Alva Edison, called "America's biggest developer," was an American developer and businessperson. In disciplines consisting of electrical power generation, mass communication, sound recording, and movie, he developed many devices.

Nikola Tesla - Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American innovator, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist who helped establish the contemporary rotating present (AC) electrical energy delivery system.
