Tout quitter du jour au lendemain pour aller chercher, seule, au fin fond de la Chine communiste, les secrets oubliés de l'art antique chinois, était-ce bien raisonnable ? Fabienne Verdier ne s'est pas posé la question : en ce début des années 80, la jeune et brillante étudiante des Beaux-Arts est comme aimantée par le désir d'apprendre cet art pictural et calligraphique dévasté par la Révolution culturelle. Et lorsque, étrangère et perdue dans la province du Sichuan, elle se retrouve dans une école artistique régie par le Parti, elle est déterminée à affronter tous les obstacles.

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) never signed a painting, and none of his supposed self-portraits can be securely ascribed to his hand. He revealed next to nothing about his life in his extensive writings, yet countless pages have been written about him that assign him an identity: genius, entrepreneur, celebrity artist, outsider. Addressing the ethical stakes involved in studying past lives, Stephen J. Campbell shows how this invented Leonardo has invited speculation from figures ranging from art dealers and curators to scholars, scientists, and biographers.

In Sometime a Clear Light: A Photographer's Journey Through Alaska, Nigeria, and Life, Aylette Jenness reflects on living with her husband and two small children in a tiny Yu'pik village in Alaska in the early 1960s, as well as the time they spent in Africa from 1966 to 1969, three of the most terrible years of the Nigerian Civil War (the Nigerian-Biafran War). It was a tumultuous time for Aylette as well, as she split from her husband, an anthropologist, who had been sent to Nigeria to study the resettlement driven by the construction of the Kainji Dam.

In HERE: Where the Black Designers Are, Holmes-Miller documents the history of—and answers to—the question she has been asking for decades: “Where are the Black designers?” Holmes-Miller explores this essential question through the lens of her own development as a designer and leader, beginning with her own family and its rich multiethnic history.

What if chasing your dream didn’t lead to fame or fortune—but to something far more honest? At 36, Pat Treuer had the life people post about: six-figure job, corporate status, an apartment with a skyline view—and a quiet voice in his head screaming, “Is this it?” So he did what any rational person would do: he walked away from it all to tell jokes in bars for drink tickets and half-interested crowds. Then came the pandemic. Pat launched a comedy business that brought in a million dollars—then reinvested every penny into a YouTube series that made exactly zero. Not a typo. Zero.

A lo largo de sus páginas descubriremos a su familia, de la cual heredó el amor hacia el arte; su ciudad, Córdoba, cuya influencia marcó el gusto y la forma de ver el mundo del artista; su traslado a Madrid, que acrecentó la universalidad de su obra; su visión de la mujer, que se convierte en protagonista indiscutible de sus lienzos, y el papel secundario al que queda relegada su esposa; la muerte, que envuelve sus últimas obras y su funeral; y, por último, volviendo a fusionar todos estos enfoques en un brillante rayo de luz, su legado, con un recorrido por sus óleos y por su museo, contempla

It’s about the setbacks that nearly broke me, the unexpected moments that shaped me, and the lessons I learned from capturing one of the fastest, most chaotic sports in the world.

In My Sort of Philosophy, Christian Santiago invites listeners into his world of storytelling, where images, words, and life experiences blur into one evolving narrative. This audiobook isn’t a traditional “how-to” or a step-by-step manual. Instead, it unfolds naturally—like a photograph developing in the darkroom—capturing the beauty of imperfection, the uncertainty of time, and the ways art shapes the way we see ourselves and the world around us.
