Usually artists are a little different from average citizens.
For productive work, they need attention, approval or condemnation of the viewer. So often it happens that the outrageousness of the art they carry in life. This review presents 5 artists who had the most eccentric and wonderful habits.
Caravaggio
Referring to the painting “Resurrection of Lazarus” by Caravaggio, it is worth noting that the artist wrote it with a particular zeal. An overwhelming desire to achieve the maximum resemblance to reality forced the painter to go to the cemetery. Moreover, he forced the workers to dig up the body of the deceased three days ago men and keep it in the desired position until, until the master will make an outline.
Leonardo da Vinci
Unique and man ahead of his time, Leonardo da Vinci, among other things, were daily experimenting on their capabilities. Being a strong believer that the first 15 minutes after waking up are the most fruitful, da Vinci a day, slept only 4 hours.
Also Leonardo da Vinci loved to encrypt the message. He wrote the strings with the left hand, from right to left in mirror image. And yet the great artist never signed his work, hoping that his style is known by everyone.
Vincent Van Gogh
Contrary to popular belief that van Gogh cut off his ear, in reality the artist has only lost to the ear lobe. To such a frenzy of van Gogh brought the disease schizophrenia, which poured into a manic-depressive syndrome. Sorry, unable to cope with the disease, the artist took his own life, shooting himself in the stomach.
Henri Matisse
Henri Matisse also had its oddities. Somehow the artist had a fear of blindness. He even learned to play the violin, in the event of vision loss, to earn a living by street performance.
Salvador Dali
Perhaps the most outrageous behavior was Salvador Dali. The artist walked the streets with the anteater on a leash, went to the exhibition in the suit of the diver.
He fell asleep too outside the box, with the key in hand. When Dali began to doze off, his hand was loose and the key fell, striking on the plate. Waking up, he immediately wrote down their dreams, which then become clues certain tasks.
