2. Born in Real Madrid, Spain on
March 23, 1887, Juan Gris isn`t
one of the most famous
painters of all time, but, in my
opinion, one of the best. He
studied at Escuela de Artes y
Manufacturas in Real Madrid
from 1902 to 1904, but lived
and worked in France later in
life. I think what`s cool is that
he was friends with Pablo
Picasso and Georges Braque.
Gris lived during World War 1.
He was part of the Cubist
movement.
