    Picasso passed away in the 2 years time between when Soviet Union and US launched their first space station into space.

    This feels surprising mainly because I thought Picasso lived in 1400s. But no he just lived a long life in early 20th century.

      You thought the guy who invented clip art lived in the 1400s?

        I think many people lump him in with the Italian Renaissance, because the name. And many people don’t know quite when the Renaissance happened.

          All of this makes it more confusing, not less

          The Renaissance was in the 1980s, right?
