I think the best example is the PlayStation 2 being discontinued in 2013, as well the PlayStation 1 in 2006

Salvador Dalí (1904-1989)

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)

People seem to think they lived mostly or entirely in the 1800’s. The fact that Rick Wakeman of the rock bands Yes and The Strawbs had once pushed Dalí offstage in 1970 is such a weird overlap of eras.

France used the guillotine for the last time in 1977.

There is still one Blockbuster store open, located in Bend, Oregon.

    Granted Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, where you could see the transition into cubism, was from 1907. He continued to create famous abstract works well into the 50s. Dali’s famous The Persistence of Memory (the melting clocks) is from 1931.

    It’s wild that people think of the abstract movement pre-1900s to me! Pre-1900 was the Impressionists, and with Art Nouveau coming in at the turn of the century.

    The 1930’s was really primed for the abstract modern painters.
