Titres dans Artistes, architectes et photographes

Настоящий художник никогда не копирует действительность, а по-своему воспроизводит ее и толкует. Для этого он прибегает к различным приемам, условным по своей сути.

Леонардо да Винчи назвал живопись "немой поэзией". Картина безмолвна. Звуки и слова лишь предполагаются зрителем. Картина неподвижна. Люди, события, предметы предстают в определенном, раз и навсегда данном состоянии и виде.

In Albert & the Whale, Philip Hoare sets out to discover why Dürer's art endures. He encounters medieval alchemists and modernist poets, eccentric emperors and queer soul rebels, ambassadorial whales and enigmatic pop artists. He witnesses the miraculous birth of Dürer's fantastical rhinoceros and his hermaphroditic hare, and he traces the fate of the star-crossed leviathan that the artist pursued. And as the author swims from Europe to America and beyond, these prophetic artists and downed angels provoke awkward questions.

Quella che leggerete è una storia piccola, quasi invisibile. È la storia della mia amicizia con il mio maestro, Giovanni Testori (1923-1993). Se la propongo ai lettori è per due ragioni: la prima è perché essa apre una finestra su uno dei rapporti fondamentali che legano le persone tra loro, il rapporto maestro-discepolo. La seconda è perché Giovanni Testori si è situato in controtendenza rispetto alla grande maggioranza degli intellettuali del suo tempo, che rifuggivano l'idea di far da maestri a qualcuno.

Salvador Dalí era un maestro de lo surrealista. Sus pinturas son conocidas como "fotografías de sueños": instantáneas de pesadillas que cobran vida con asombroso detalle. Dalí era un virtuoso a nivel técnico, pero a diferencia de los grandes maestros que admiraba, como Johannes Vermeer y Diego Velázquez, eligió usar su habilidad para representar lo irreal y lo absurdo.

Paula Modersohn-Becker war eine deutsche Malerin und eine der bedeutendsten Vertreterinnen des frühen Expressionismus.

Gelesen von Johanna Mette Pollet.

A mediados del siglo XIX, la Cataluña española experimentó una profunda transformación cuando fue empujada no en una, sino en dos épocas doradas: la Renaixença y la Revolución Industrial. Fue durante este período explosivo de creatividad, prosperidad floreciente y patriotismo vigorizado que nació un icono inconformista y fascinantemente excéntrico, uno que estaba a punto de asaltar Cataluña con su brillante ojo para el arte no ortodoxo y sus ideas legendarias -o como algunos dirían, notoriamente- descabelladas.

The name Giotto di Bondone may not be as well-known as Leonardo da Vinci, but it was Giotto who made da Vinci and his contemporaries of the Renaissance possible. Giotto, born in the late 13th century, was the first painter to escape the artistic chains of the Dark Ages and revive the natural art of Ancient Greece. Instead of creating flat, expressionless figures, as was the custom of the Middle Ages, Giotto painted characters with personalities and emotions.

Was Walt Disney a purveyor of homely patriotic values or a representative of American imperialism? He could be said to be the quintessential American. He came from a family of immigrants, he worked his way to the top, and he always had a story to tell. The main theme always running through Disney productions was that of the underdogs and misfits trying to make it against seemingly insurmountable odds.

In Look Again, Bailey describes growing up in working-class East London, where his dyslexia led to him being written off as stupid at school but his drive and ambition led to his meteoric rise as a photographer. He writes about life in '60s London and New York, his friendship with photographers Donovan and Duffy and annoying his rival Lord Snowdon. His love-life was always headline-worthy. He propelled his girlfriend, model Jean Shrimpton, to stardom - and was threatened with a shotgun by her father. When he married Catherine Deneuve, Mick Jagger was his best man.

Имя прекрасной актрисы театра и кино Ольги Александровны Аросевой известно без преувеличения всем. Но, знаете ли вы, что Ольга Александровна вполне могла бы быть Варварой Александровной, ведь именно так ее назвал и записал отец. А с Днем рождения любимую актрису мы бы поздравляли не 21 декабря, а 22 декабря?

Hvide skygger er fortællingen om den legendariske danske billedhugger Bertel Thorvaldsen. Thorvaldsens karriere startede, da han som barn kom ind på Det kongelige danske kunstakademi, men den tog for alvor fart, da han som 26-årig flyttede til Rom. Hans romerske værksted var vidt besøgt af alle lige fra statsoverhoveder til digtere, rigmænd til kunstnere. Bogen giver ikke blot et indblik i Thorvaldsens virke som kunstner. Den tegner også et portræt af manden bag marmoren, hans forhold til kvinder og sin egen berømmelse, samt hans evige kamp for at finde en mening med sit arbejde.

Rote Haare, scharfer Verstand, Wagemut, Witz und Selbstbewusstsein - Regina Ziegler ist unverwechselbar. Seit über 40 Jahren schreibt sie Filmgeschichte und scheut weder Widerstände noch Kritik in einer von Männern dominierten Branche. Aufgeben? Niemals. Immer wieder ist die Grande Dame des Deutschen Films aufs Ganze gegangen, hat mit den bedeutendsten Regisseuren gearbeitet, Schauspieler zu Stars gemacht, weltweit Auszeichnungen erhalten und die deutsche Kulturlandschaft geprägt.

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?
