of its Fardier à vapeur ("steam car"). The following year he built an improved
version.
In 1885 he created the first motor vehicle internal combustion engine with
gasoline.
One of the most distinctive inventions of the twentieth century was
undoubtedly the car. these vehicles began to be seen as something
"useful".

His paintings display a great protagonism of color and include Aeropuerto (Airport), Los Hippies, Calles de Nueva York (Streets of New York), Almuerzo (Lunch), Chelsea Hotel, and Promesa de castidad (Promise of Chastity).
He also produced several decorative panels, scenographic sketches, illustrations, and collaborations for books. Berni's work had gradually become more spiritual and reflective. In 1980 he completed the paintings Apocalipsis (Apocalypse) and La crucifixion (The Crucifixion) for the Chapel of San Luis Gonzaga in Las
Heras.Antonio Berni died on October 13, 1981 in Buenos Aires, where he had been working on a Martin Fierro monument.
Herbert James Draper
(1863 – 22 September 1920) was an English Classicist painter whose
career began in the Victorian era and extended through the first
two decades of the 20th century.
1894 was the beginning of Draper's most productive period. He
focused mainly on mythological themes from ancient Greece. His
painting "The Lament For Icarus" from 1898 won the gold medal at
the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1900 and was later bought for
the Tate Gallery by the Chantrey Trustees. He was also responsible
for the decoration of the ceiling of the Drapers' Hall in the City of
London. Though Draper was neither a member nor an associate of
the Royal Academy he took part in the annual expositions from 1890
on. In later years as the public tastes changed and mythological
scenes became less popular he concentrated more on portraits.
During his lifetime Draper was quite famous and a well known
portrait painter. In his last years his
popularity faded, though there has
recently been a revival of interest in his
work on the art market. The sale of his
painting The Sea Maiden by the Royal
Cornwall Museum in 2010, to help secure its finances, generated
debate about the policy of disposing of art works for this purpose.
