Pablo Picasso
Pablo Ruiz Picasso, born in Malaga, Spain, October 25, 1881, and died April 8, 1973, was the most influential and successful artist of the 20th century. Painting, sculpture, graphic art, and ceramics were all profoundly and irrevocably affected by his genius. As the son of a professor of art, Picasso's talent for drawing was recognized at an early age. An advanced student at the Barcelona Academy of Fine Arts from the age of 14, he experimented in his youth with nearly all of the avant-garde styles current at the turn of the century, an early demonstration of his lifelong ability to assimilate aesthetic ideas and to work in a variety of styles. For Picasso, the meaning of art was to be derived from other works of art, and not directly from nature. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's work had a significant impact on his early paintings, as did the work of Paul Cézanne. Their influence, among others', can be detected in the paintings of Picasso's "blue period".

Marie Antoinette
As the queen consort of King Louis XVI of France, Marie Antoinette, born November 2, 1755, one of the most famous scorpios, and died October 16, 1793, aroused hostile passions that helped lead to the French revolution and the abolition of the French monarchy in August 1792. The daughter of Maria Theresa of Austria and Holy Roman Emperor Francis I, she married Louis in 1770. By 1774, when her husband became king, however, the beautiful, spirited Marie Antoinette had withdrawn from the restraints of French court etiquette and from her timid, aloof husband to a life of innocent but frivolous pleasure. She enchanted her small circle of friends but created the image of an untrustworthy foreigner and prodigal spendthrift opposed to the reforms proposed by the king's ministers. Her life became temporarily more dignified after the birth of her first son, Louis Joseph, in 1778, but her reputation worsened with the Affair of the Diamond Necklace.

Voltaire
Voltaire, born Francois Marie Arouet, in Paris, November 21, 1694, and died May 30, 1778, was the most influential figure of the French Enlightenment. Considered by his contemporaries as the greatest poet and dramatist of the century, he is now better known for his essays and tales. His precocious wit, his upbringing among a group of libertines, or freethinkers, and his predilection for aristocratic circles were to mark his life, as his classical education by the Jesuits was to form his taste.

He was phenomenally successful at a young age, having produced operating systems and applications software that became best sellers - by copying other more innovative software solutions from different companies - during the personal-computer boom of the 1980s, most notably the Windows operating system.
