The Many Resurrections of Henry Box Brown is the first book to show how subversive performances were woven into Brown's entire life, from his early days practicing magic in Virginia while enslaved, to his last shows in Canada and England in the 1890s.

Para Francis Schaeffer, o cristão deve usar as artes para glorificar a Deus, não simplesmente como propaganda evangelística, mas como algo belo para a glória de Deus.

Inzwischen besitzt der Sekretär bereits stolze 24 Zähne, allesamt akkurat auf Samt drapiert.

E quem não está? Sabadin traça um panorama do cinema – linguagem que há mais de um século revoluciona nossa maneira de ver a vida –, desde a época em que seus inventores nem sabiam direito o que fazer com ele, até os dias de hoje, quando movimenta bilhões de dólares pelos cinco continentes.

Ни одна культура, ни один культурный этап не имеет такого прямого отношения к современности, как эпоха Возрождения. Ренессанс – наиболее прогрессивный и революционный период в истории человечества. Об этом рассказывает Паола Дмитриевна Волкова в следующей аудиокниге цикла Мост через бездну, принимая эстафету у первого искусствоведа, Джоржо Вазари, настоящего человека своей эпохи – писателя, живописца и архитектора.Художники Возрождения – Сандро Ботичелли и Леонардо да Винчи, Рафаэль и Тициан, Иероним Босх и Питер Брейгель Старший – никогда не были просто художниками.

Many people try to describe their experience when “in the zone” or “in the flow” during the creative process. Some claim that a Greater Power or Divine Guidance assisted them. But, what is this state of consciousness, and how do we replicate it? In search of answers, writer and painter Christopher J. Miller took the suggestion of one of his art mentors to watch and chronicle his creative process.

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.

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 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.
