"Everything you can imagine is real." - Pablo Picasso

Nothing captures imagination, divides opinion, or inspires creativity like art. From the earliest cave drawings, to Renaissance masters Da Vinci and Botticelli, right up to modern street artists Banksy and Blu, humankind have always been drawn to and inspired by art.
