John Fitzgerald Kennedy was an American politician and statesman, 35th President of the United States (1961-1963).
John was born in a family of natives of Ireland, his father - Joseph Kennedy - a Democratic politician, who headed the Securities and Exchange Commission in the 1930s, was U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain. John studied at Harvard and Princeton Universities and traveled to Europe in 1937. During World War II he served in the U.S. Navy and received a number of awards, and immediately after the war he entered politics.
In 1946, John F. Kennedy was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Massachusetts, in 1952, with the help of financial support from the Kennedy family won election to the Senate and held the post until the end of 1960. In the presidential election of 1960, 43-year-old Kennedy with a small margin of victory over Richard Nixon, becoming the 35th President of the United States.
The time of Kennedy's presidency was marked by the escalation of the Cold War. Its peak was the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, when the confrontation between Washington and Moscow almost led to nuclear war. With great difficulty the parties managed to reach a compromise - during the negotiations the USSR undertook to remove missiles from Cuba in return for the dismantling of American missiles in Turkey. Since the beginning of 1963, the U.S. President increasingly spoke out in favor of peaceful coexistence with the Soviet Union. In August 1963, the U.S., USSR and Great Britain signed a treaty banning nuclear weapons tests in the atmosphere, outer space and underwater, which entered into force in October 1963. In the same 1963, when the country was hit by a wave of protests of the colored population, he introduced a bill in Congress that banned segregation in public places.
On November 22, 1963, during a trip to Dallas, Texas, John F. Kennedy was fatally wounded. He was 46 years old. Lee Harvey Oswald was held as the prime suspect in the assassination, who was shot and killed two days later by Jack Ruby in the garage of the Dallas police station. There are various versions of the reasons for the President's assassination, but none of them has been fully proven so far.
In his free time from politics, John F. Kennedy managed to write a book "Stories of Courage", for which he received the Pulitzer Prize in 1957. These are biographies of people whom he considered to be models of courage in politics. In 1958, Kennedy published a book called A Nation of Immigrants.
Theo van Doesburg, real name Christian Emil Marie Küpper, is a Dutch painter, architect and sculptor, art theorist, co-founder of the Style Group and of Neoplasticism.
Theo van Doesburg co-founded with Piet Mondrian the De Stijl abstract art movement. The basis of van Doesburg's views was the attempt to reduce all forms of objective harmony in a work of art to certain geometric elements. These new principles soon had a significant influence on the development of architecture, literature, graphics and music.
Albert Flamm was a German artist of the Düsseldorf school. He studied architecture at the Dusseldorf Academy of Art and in Antwerp. In 1841 he turned to painting and became a pupil of Andreas Achenbach. In 1848 Flamm became one of the founders of the Malkasten artists' association.

Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist, widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest and most influential physicists of all time. Einstein is best known for developing the theory of relativity, but he also made important contributions to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics. Relativity and quantum mechanics are together the two pillars of modern physics. His mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which arises from relativity theory, has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation". His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect", a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory. His intellectual achievements and originality resulted in "Einstein" becoming synonymous with "genius".
Eduard von Grützner was a German painter of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He went down in the history of European art as a portrait painter and a brilliant master of genre.

Grützner was awarded the Royal Order of St. Michael and also received the title of honorary professor at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts. He also became a Knight of the Order of Civil Merit of the Bavarian Crown and received the title of nobleman, with the prefix "von" added to his last name.
