Con la prosa suggestiva, la sensibilità e l'acume di Edouard Schuré ripercorriamo la vita e le opere di Leonardo da Vinci, Raffaello, Michelangelo e il Correggio. Il punto di vista che ci viene proposto è non solo quello materiale, ma anche quello animico, e spirituale. L'arte vera offre finestre aperte sul cielo, e l'artista non è da meno del profeta, che dice direttamente ciò che ode dallo Spirito.

In questo nuovo volume, gli autori della pagina Facebook "Se i social network fossero sempre esistiti" raccontano venti storie di disagio, facendo luce sulle biografi e di altrettanti personaggi che hanno spaccato il mondo nonostante il mondo si sia accanito su di loro come gli invitati sul buffet di un matrimonio.

Pierre-August Renoir, leader of the 19th-century Impressionist movement, spent his entire life perfecting his style. Rejected for decades, he depended on friends for a place to stay and money for painting supplies. Renoir lived in poverty until his 40's, and when he was finally discovered and hailed as a great artist, his health began to fail him. Still, Renoir never gave up his passion for painting. His need to create beauty was the driving force of his life, and throughout rejections and deteriorating health, Renoir retained an optimism that is reflected in his paintings.

Remington’s name remains recognizable today, and his work continues to impress viewers more than a century after he was active. From the bronze statuettes of anonymous Western heroes in crisis to large-scale actions set against vast backdrops, his works found their form through mythology and by "merging his experiences and memories." Both commercially and nostalgia-driven, the dualistic personality of Frederic Remington as a person is at times a problem for modern sensibilities.

B. Artin Haig survived the Armenian Genocide and went on for a time to become President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's photographer and one of the world's greatest.

О Сальвадоре Дали знают даже те, кто далек от искусства. Легенда XX века, неразрешимая загадка столетия. Кем он был? Безумным художником? Агрессивным социопатом? Алчным обманщиком, готовым водить людей за нос ради денег?.. Или создателем собственного видимого мира, полного противоречий и недосказанностей?

This is celebrated architect Ken Tate’s creative memoir about his life. Beginning with his days growing up in Columbus, Mississippi, where he was surrounded by beautiful Greek Revival houses, the book journeys through Ken’s upbringing as a creative adolescent to his early days at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta where he started his architectural collegiate career. There, Ken struggled to keep up with the hard-edged modernism being taught in school and longed to design beautiful houses with soul.

Muchos lo dicen, pero nadie se lo cree. ¿sería posible que Salvador Dalí fue la reencarnación del propio Van Gogh? ¿Cuánto le ayudaron a Gauguin para conseguir la originalidad de sus pinturas, las jovencitas de Tahití?

Realmente como dicen Leonardo da Vinci era tal clase de genio que siendo solamente un aprendiz fue capaz de superar a su maestro el gran Verroquio? Qué influencia tuvo la pintura de Francisco de Goya la muerte de sus cuatro hijos? El famoso cuadro “Campos de trigo” de Vincent van Gogh se convirtió realmente en un símbolo para el pintor de su terrible delirio?

Margarett Sargent was an icon of avant-garde art in the 1920s. In an evocative weave of biography and memoir, her granddaughter unearths for the first time the life of a spirited and gifted woman committed at all costs to self-expression.

Dorothy L. Sayers is now famous for her Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane detective series, but she was equally well known during her life for an essay asking “Are Women Human?” Women’s rights were expanding rapidly during Sayers’s lifetime; she and her friends were some of the first women to receive degrees from Oxford. Yet, as historian Mo Moulton reveals, it was clear from the many professional and personal obstacles they faced that society was not ready to concede that women were indeed fully human.

Niels Olsen har levet sit skuespillerliv i humorens verden. Det er her, han trives. Fuldt og helt - med stærke musikalske og sanglige strejf. Og for de fleste danskere rager han på alle tænkelige måder op i det danske humorlandskab. Biografien handler om liv og karriere, om familie og skuespil, om at vælge det, som nogle kalder den lettere del af kunsten - humoren og underholdningen - men som fuldt og helt har Niels Olsens hjerte.

"Rebel Artists" ist ein Buch über 15 Frauen aus aller Welt, die sich als Künstlerinnen Respekt verschafften. Sie mussten gegen Vorurteile und für ihre Rechte kämpfen. Aber sie ließen sich durch nichts und niemanden von ihrer Kunst abbringen. Frida Kahlo kennen alle als starke, mutige Malerin. Doch auch viele weitere Frauen verdienen Beachtung: Emily Kame Kngwarreye, die erst mit 80 Jahren anfing, unermüdlich zu malen, um dann mit über 3000 Bildern zur berühmtesten Aborigines-Künstlerin zu werden.

I perioder mellem 2013 og 2017 led forfatteren af svær depression og var tvangsindlagt på en psykiatrisk afdeling, hvor hun gennemgik en række elektrochokbehandlinger. Undervejs i forløbet kæmpede hun med angsten for at miste sin hukommelse og adgangen til sine minder. "Oktoberbarn" er et fortvivlet opgør med det psykiatriske behandlingssystem og på samme tid en krystalklar skildring af afgørende vendepunkter og begivenheder i forfatterens eget liv - barndom, ungdom, ægteskab, forældreskab og skilsmisse.

Tom Karen is the Vimp, an Aircruiser and a Water Line Ship; he's a 'Big Fat Peace Bomb', a Bond Bug and the Marble Run; he's the Chopper bike and the 'man that designed the 1970s'; he's every one of his thousands of sketches contained in London's Victoria & Albert Museum - each a testament to a lifetime of artistry and creativity. He's also a living embodiment of a life immersed in inventiveness, imagination and thought.

Um 1968 tingeln Lukas und Harry als Zwei-Mann-Band durch die deutsche Provinz, covern Beatles, Kinks und Donovan und denken: Besser geht's nicht.

Zehn Jahre später macht Lukas sich auf nach Nirgendwo, nur mit Cohens Gedichten im Gepäck.
