Il nostro corpo racconta molte cose se può manifestarsi con libertà. I pantaloni con cui Marlene Dietrich arrivò a Parigi nel 1930 fecero gridare allo scandalo perché non solo parlavano di una sessualità dominatrice, ma di una donna che attingeva agli stereotipi del potere maschile diventando una vampira di energie invece che una donatrice devota. Il seno turgido che sbocciava dall'abito di Marilyn Monroe mentre cantava al suo amante "Happy Birthday, Mr. President", alludeva a una seduzione di nuovo conio, ribelle alle convenzioni del matrimonio, della ragion di Stato e della donna per bene.

Story
Faeries have captured the collective imagination throughout time and across cultures. Unexplained occurrences, natural phenomena, and so much more have been attributed to these beautiful, mysterious, and often mischievous creatures. Sometimes these fairies can be helpful and kindly, like the brownies of Britain, the menehune of Hawai‘i, and the domovoi of Russia. But just as often, they are seen as a threat, as we characterize a natural phenomenon into an often capricious and frequently frightening creature.

The volatile years of England's Tudor dynasty (1485–1603) and the five monarchs who ruled England during this period continue to fascinate and intrigue. Thanks to the paintings of artists like Hans Holbein, we have very definitive ideas about the appearance and personalities of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and her successor Elizabeth I. It is through their eyes of artists that we still see the dynasty which ruled England for just over a century.

In the spring of 1790 two of the most gifted artists in Europe met in Rome and became fast friends, sharing their views on art, visiting the city’s ancient sites and making trips to the opera together. The Swiss history painter Angelica Kauffman and the French portraitist Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun are no longer household names in the early twenty-first century but were much-fêted celebrities in the late eighteenth. Franny Moyle uses their meeting in the eternal city as the point of departure for a lavishly illustrated 'life and times’ biography of two brilliant but neglected women artists.

Story
Der einzige Teil der Bittenichthören-Trilogie ist einerseits die Fortsetzung vom drittletzten Teil der Daswarsdann-Trilogie, andererseits auch nicht. Es hat etwas mit einem rechtlichen Unsinn zu tun. Der interversale Geflunkerverlag wollte infolge des Unsinns dieses Buch partout nicht in seinem Programm haben.

Story
Wer heute abwartet, kommt morgen zu spät. Kunst galt lange als letzte Bastion des Menschlichen gegenüber Künstlicher Intelligenz. Seit KI-generierte Bilder für Millionen US-Dollar versteigert und Dichterpreise an ChatGPT vergeben werden, stellt sich die Frage: Müssen wir uns auch auf dem Feld der Kreativität geschlagen geben? Und selbst wenn sie nicht als Kunst durchgehen, haben KI-"Werke" doch Einfluss auf Kultur, Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft – die Manipulation von Kaufentscheidungen ist da nur eine Gefahr.

Story
In a world dominated by men, Marian McPartland distinguished herself as one of the greatest jazz pianists of her age. Born in the UK as Margaret Marian Turner, Marian McPartland learned to play classical piano, but was passionately attracted to the rhythms of American jazz. Entertaining troops in WWII Europe, she met her future husband, Jimmy McPartland, a cocky young trumpet player who was the protege of the great Bix Beiderbecke. They were married and, together, they made jazz history.

Story
The movies were flying blind in 1980. “New Hollywood” was over and the era of auteur-driven, personal films that had defined moviemaking since the late ‘60s came to a symbolic end with Heaven’s Gate (1980), replaced by a new world of multiplex blockbusters supported by massive marketing campaigns. But beyond the high-school comedies and hardbody action films came a new wave of cinematic excitement—an era defined by Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Purple Rain, When Harry Met Sally, E.T., and Top Gun, each of which are now classics for a new generation of nostalgic movie lovers.

Artists, rather than being "ahead of their time" are in truth, accurately understanding the times they live in. The book is divided into three main sections. The first section describes the place of the artisan in scripture according to Zechariah 1:18-2:5.

Story
This study explores the phenomenon of the cults of Raphael and Michelangelo in relation to their death, burial, and posthumous fame—or second life—from their own times through the nineteenth century. These two artists inspired fervent followings like no other artists before them. The affective response of those touched by the potency of the physical presence of their art—works, personal effects, and remains—or even touched by the power of their creative legacy—opened up new avenues for artistic fame, divination, and commemoration.

Story
Plongeon fulgurant aux sources de notre imaginaire, ce premier tome d’Histoire de l’art d’Élie Faure retrace la naissance du regard humain, des grottes paléolithiques aux colosses d’Égypte, des taureaux ailés d’Assyrie aux temples grecs irradiés de lumière, jusqu’à Rome et son génie des pierres et des routes. En conteur-poète et historien visionnaire, Faure révèle comment les œuvres ne sont jamais décor, mais systèmes vivants de forces, où la forme épouse la fonction et l’idée devient chair — l’art comme langue commune, respiration des peuples et mémoire du monde.
