  This is a compilation of 2 different titles, which are about the following topics: 
  1: Claude Monet has been the icon for the impressionist movement. Painting vague strokes of color and contrast, water, and flowers were typical. Other aspects of the art weren’t as clear but were just as important, nonetheless. Claude Monet certainly faced many struggles as he tried to build his passion for painting into a career. His family life wasn’t perfect either, but despite of all these obstacles, the French genius painter has left us a legacy and a new perspective on realism and technique in their purest forms. 
  In this guide, we’ll go over his youth, his style, his methods, his most famous paintings, and many of the reasons why he made the decisions he made. Embark on a journey by diving into the world of art in the French countryside in the 19th century. Find out what made this painter so unique and beloved by so many. 
  2: Picasso’s work is famous. His art is intricate yet bizarre. Many people have stood still over the wonders and simplicity of cubism and surrealism and have either been disgusted or amazed by it. 
   Picasso’s personal life was filled with struggles, but some of those were likely self-imposed. From records, we learn that he had multiple marriages, stepfamilies, and was extremely abusive in several of his relationships, dominating the women he slept with in kinky, sadistic ways. His children weren’t any better off, creating substance abuse and suicidal headlines. Despite of the dysfunctionality in his personal and family life, his artwork reflected something new and fresh. His concepts of color, contrast, and composition have inspired many.

  INTERSTELLAR 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  "Interstellar" is a 2014 science fiction film directed by Christopher Nolan. Set in a dystopian future where Earth faces ecological collapse, it follows Joseph Cooper, a former NASA pilot turned farmer, who is recruited for a mission to find a new habitable planet for humanity. Cooper and his team travel through a wormhole near Saturn, encountering distant planets, black holes, and time dilation. The film explores themes of love, sacrifice, and survival, blending scientific theories with deep emotional drama. It examines humanity's resilience in the face of extinction and the potential of space exploration to secure the future. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “TARS, the robot in the film, was not created using CGI but was a practical puppet controlled and voiced on set by Bill Irwin, who was digitally erased from the footage. Irwin also operated CASE, though Josh Stewart’s voice was dubbed over his.” 
    
  “Anne Hathaway faced hypothermia while filming the scenes set in Iceland, as her astronaut suit was open during the cold water sequences.” 
    
  “Dr. Kip Thorne famously won a scientific bet against Stephen Hawking on a point related to astrophysics, which led to Hawking subscribing to Penthouse Magazine for a year. This bet was dramatized in the film "The Theory of Everything" (2014).” 
    
  “The placement of the wormhole near Saturn was a reference to "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968), as Stanley Kubrick had initially planned to have part of his film set near Saturn before abandoning it due to visual effects limitations at the time.”
