कलेला जीवन वाहिलेल्या व्यक्तीने लग्नाच्या भानगडीत पडावं की नाही ? त्याचं पहिलं लग्न आवडीच्या कलेबरोबर लागलेलं असतं. डोक्यात सदैव आगामी कलाकृतीविषयीचा विचार किंवा तिची प्रत्यक्ष निर्मिती सुरू असते. कितीही संवेदनशील असलं तरीही आपल्या सहचरणीच्या भावना त्याच्या लक्षात येऊ शकत नाहीत. त्याचं पर्यावसन दुःखद , वेदनामय होऊ शकतं. दैवाचा खेळ !

« Mes grands-parents ont grandi à l’Est de l’Europe, dans des pays de grands froids. Ils ont connu le chaos, les persécutions et l’exil. Plus qu’un désir, une fascination, la France fut pour eux une intuition. Même si tout cela m’est inconnu, cela ne m’est pas étranger. Je porte en moi leurs racines et aujourd’hui, sans que je les convoque, elles se rappellent à moi. ».

" Le 19 avril 1980, une foule immense, silencieuse, accompagne le convoi funèbre de Sartre jusqu’au cimetière du Montparnasse, à Paris. Derrière Simone de Beauvoir, en tête de cortège, plus de cin-quante mille personnes sont venues rendre un dernier hommage au penseur français le plus célèbre au monde. Comment expliquer sa notoriété, comment mesurer aujourd’hui l’impact de la pensée et de l’écriture de Sartre dans la société actuelle ?

Appréhender l’œuvre et la pensée de Machiavel n’est pas un exercice facile, tant l’ombre du machia-vélisme plane au-dessus d’elles. De ces fables, l’auteur nous invite à nous départir afin d’accéder à la pensée politique de l’humaniste et chancelier de Florence, Niccolò Machiavelli et aux conditions de sa formation. Ainsi nous découvrons l’homme Machiavel, soucieux de se mettre au service de la Sei-gneurie de Florence et se lamentant des divers revers de fortune.

Léonard de Vinci est l’une des figures les plus emblématiques de la Renaissance. Fils illégitime privé de formation universitaire, son approche autodidacte dans quantités de domaines garantit l’originalité de cet esprit universel qui fut bien plus que l’auteur de La Joconde ou l’inventeur de machines volantes. Il fut également un anatomiste de renom, un ingénieur, un philosophe, un architecte et un inventeur.

Camille Claudel la transgressive, la sculptrice de génie, l’artiste sulfureuse et maudite, l’amante libre de Rodin, basculant dans la folie, enfermée à l’asile durant les trente dernières années de sa vie. Artiste trop avance sur son temps, elle s’affranchit de toutes les règles, de toutes les conventions sociales. Son œuvre sera sa vie. Outre qu’elle a sculpté avec acharnement durant trente ans, elle a été, quasiment toute sa vie, une épistolière assidue. Des lettres, elle en a écrit des centaines, et nombreuses sont celles perdues ou détruites.

Мы снова и снова гуляем по залам музеев и любуемся прекрасными произведениями живописи, подолгу вглядываясь в каждое полотно. Нам кажутся такими чарующими великолепные портреты, натюрморты и пейзажи и поэтому личности знаменитых художников кажутся нам безупречными, они для нас – образчики чистоты и красоты. Мы ведь привыкли воспринимать знаменитых художников через небольшие пояснения к их картинам и краткие биографические сведения, которые не сложно отыскать в библиотеках и на просторах интернета. Это делает их образы почти бесплотными.

The enchanting story of La Maison du Pastel, a tiny shop in Paris that has been providing pastels to artists since the eighteenth century, and the two women who fell in love and brought it back to life.

Flower is a book of realistic admissions, likes, dislikes, memories and no-brainer observations, treating personal truth as unavailable – something that must be made up and convincing. Taking cues from confessional literature, his daughter’s improvised games, poor internet writing and shitty AI, Ed Atkins, in his first work of non-fiction, equivocates between inanity and divinity, ease and pain, sentimentality and sterility.

Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 to April 9, 1959), born in Richland Center, Wisconsin, was an American architect, designer, writer, and educator. He designed more than 1,000 structures over a creative period of 70 years. Wright played a key role in the architectural movements of the twentieth century, influencing architects worldwide through his works and mentoring hundreds of apprentices in his Taliesin Fellowship. Wright believed in designing in harmony with humanity and the environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture.

Sir Nigel Thompson walked to school around the bomb craters of the London Blitz—it made him want to build things, rather than knock them down. After studying structural engineering in Africa, he worked on hospitals and theaters in London, and later headed the team that designed University of Qatar. He went on to design Embankment Place, a massive office complex built over London’s Charing Cross railway station. Turning from building to rebuilding, he explored construction opportunities for British firms during the Gulf War, in Kuwait’s still-burning oil fields.

As one of the top fashion photographers in the industry, Sante D’Orazio played a seminal role in shaping how we define what it is to be beautiful, cool, glamorous, and hot. The résumé of A-listers he has shot includes top supermodels—Helena Christensen, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss, Christy Turlington, and Naomi Campbell, among others—as well as a myriad of actors, artists, and athletes including Pamela Anderson, Prince, Keith Richards, Axl Rose, Sophia Loren, Mickey Rourke, and Mike Tyson.

Alfred Hitchcock’s work is legendary, and although he himself was known as a rather quiet and subdued figure in public, those who knew him privately saw a fiery disposition and unbridled passion lurking just beneath the surface of his placid exterior. Films such as Rebecca, Vertigo, Psycho, and The Birds sky-rocketed him to fame, and have since led many to hail him as the greatest director of all time.

“Io dico che bisogna essere veggente, farsi veggente. Il Poeta si fa veggente attraverso una lunga, immensa e ragionata sregolatezza di tutti i sensi.” Tra l’aprile e il maggio 1875 per alcune settimane Arthur Rimbaud, il grande autore di Vocali, Il Battello ebbro e Una stagione all’inferno, dall’esistenza scandalosa e ricca di colpi di scena, si ferma a Milano dove sembra essere ospitato nella casa di una misteriosa vedova, affacciata su piazza Duomo.

Bob Wiseman believes most things in life are universal or, as Lauryn Hill says, everything is everything. Bearing in mind that advice, Wiseman writes about finding the link between music and daily life, like what is common between Mary Margaret O’Hara, hiding around the corner with the lights turned off in order to record herself and his 5-year-old insisting he stop hurrying to her dance lesson and marvel at the fluff ball she is blowing toward the ceiling. Each entry is unique and compellingly written, but the themes throughout are ubiquitous.
