Pablo Ruiz Picasso1 (Malaga, October

25, 1881-Mougins, April 8, 1973) was a
Spanish painter and sculptor, creator,
along with Georges Braque, of cubism.
It is considered from the genesis of the twentieth century as one of
the greatest painters who participated in many artistic movements
that spread around the world and exerted a great influence on other
great artists of his time. Industrious and prolific, he painted more
than two thousand works, found in museums and collections
throughout Europe and the world. In addition, he tackled other
genres such as drawing, printmaking, book illustration, sculpture,
ceramics and design scenery and costumes for theatrical
productions.
Politically, Picasso declared pacifist and communist. He was a
member of the Communist Party of Spain and the French
Communist Party until his death2 the April 8, 1973 at his home
called "Notre-Dame-de-Vie March 4 in Mougins (France) at 91
years. He is buried in the castle of Vauvenargues (Bouches-du-
Rhone).
Static electricity is an imbalance of electric
charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge
remains until it is able to move away by means of
an electric current or electrical discharge. Static
electricity is named in contrast with current electricity,
which flows through wires or other conductors and
transmits energy.
A static electric charge can be created whenever two
surfaces contact and separate, and at least one of the
surfaces has a high resistance to electric current (and is
therefore an electrical insulator).
The effects of static electricity are familiar to most
people because people can feel, hear, and even
see the spark as the excess charge is neutralized
when brought close to a large electrical conductor
(for example, a path to ground), or a region with an
excess charge of the opposite polarity (positive or
negative). The familiar phenomenon of a static
shockmore specifically, an electrostatic
dischargeis caused by the neutralization of
charge.
