to Roy Lichtenstein! He was born in New York City on October 27, 1923, and studied with artist Reginald Marsh (1898–1954) at the Art Students League in 1939. After graduating from Benjamin Franklin High School in New York City, he entered Ohio State University. However, in 1943 his education was interrupted by three years of army service, during which he drew up maps for planned troop movements across Germany during World War II.

Happy Birthday

to Pablo Picasso!!! Mr. Picasso was born in 1881 and remains, to this day, one of the most influential artists in history. You can read more about him in this biography. Meanwhile, here are some Picasso quotes:

"I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it."

"Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working."

"An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought."

"God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the cat. He has no real style. He just goes on trying other things."
