La Ilustración, que se prolongó durante todo el siglo XVIII, provocó cambios cruciales en el pensamiento de la gente y transformó todo el entramado de la sociedad.

A pattern is a repeated design that is found everywhere in our world and even in outer space. All around you are both simple patterns and complicated patterns. The spiral of a seashell is very complex. But, there are patterns more complicated than a seashell. When did humans discover or invent patterns? There are cave paintings that are around 10,000 years old. They show hands in a pattern with 5 fingers.

What does it mean to be someone's "muse"? Historically, to be called a “muse” among artistic circles has been marketed as a flattering title. But the very concept of a muse underestimates these women and their abilities. At its root, muse is a support role, the title a consolation prize that claims to recognize a woman’s greatness—but only in her support of another. I'm Not Your Muse reclaims the narrative of 31 of these extraordinary women.

In this witty, deeply original book, the renowned novelist Jamaica Kincaid offers an ABC of the plants that define our world and reveals the often brutal history behind them.

Die beiden Freunde Gilbert und Ernst diskutieren darüber, in wieweit Kritik an Kunst eine eigene Kunstform abbildet und größere intellektuelle und künstlerische Fähigkeiten voraussetzt als das Erschaffen eines Kunstwerks. Dabei entfaltet sich ein Regenbogen formaler und ästhetischer Gesichtspunkte von Kunst und ihr Dialog spannt einen eleganten Bogen zum facettenreichen Kern des Themas.

Karl Kraus gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Aphoristiker deutscher Sprache. Ob berühmte Schriftsteller oder die Presse - nichts und niemand wurde von der gnadenlosen Kritik seiner Feder verschont. Bekannte Künstler wie Stefan Zweig, Georg Trakl, Thomas Mann und andere zollten ihm Respekt, aber die Zahl seiner Feinde in Kunst und Gesellschaft war enorm. Als Vorleser hinterließ er aufgrund seiner Sprachgewalt und Persönlichkeit angeblich einen äußerst außergewöhnlichen Eindruck.

In this concise and incredibly engaging short history, Dr Ellie Mackin Roberts journeys from the warrior societies of The Bronze Age all the way to the invention of democracy during the golden age of Athens, charting the incredible rise and fall of the Greek world and revealing just how much the Greeks influenced the world we live in today, from art and philosophy to architecture and politics.

Responding to many recent calls for redress and restitution, Richardson summarises the historical and current situation and attributes its problematics to the fact that theorists and historians have taken the concept art as a generic that includes both design and craft - which are actually and validly distinguishable from art by application of the concept function/al-or else ignored the two entirely.

Is there such a thing as a timeless classic? More than a decade ago, Rochelle Gurstein set out to explore and establish a solid foundation for the classic in the history of taste. To her surprise, that history instead revealed repeated episodes of soaring and falling reputations, rediscoveries of long-forgotten artists, and radical shifts in the canon, all of which went so completely against common knowledge that it was hard to believe it was true.

This book has one purpose—to offer everyone the opportunity to become as wild about modern and contemporary art as I am. I am committed that your visits to modern and contemporary art exhibits become joyful, enriching experiences that you eagerly anticipate, avidly soak in and never get over. I say that the ability to appreciate art, including every type of art, is innate to all human beings. I have discovered that unlocking this natural love of art has much more to do with clearing out what's in the way than it does with accumulating information.
