De Chirico fu forse l'artista più controverso del secolo scorso, ma il suo percorso personale appare oggi di una coerenza inflessibile. Inventore delle avanguardie a Parigi nei primissimi anni Dieci, agli attacchi dei suoi contemporanei rispose con un'autonomia intellettuale orgogliosa e rabbiosa, che lo rese un outsider del mondo dell'arte. Questa monografia, rigorosa e lucida, ci restituisce un ritratto chiaro, agile ed essenziale dell'arte di de Chirico, e si presenta come il contributo fondamentale alla comprensione della sua opera.

Anya Liftig grew up with a foot in two very different worlds: While her mother's upbringing was so rural that the other kids called her "holler rat," her father came from a comfortable, upper-middle-class Jewish family. Anya spent school years in affluent Connecticut and summers in the holler. Shaped by the experience, she would go on to win a scholarship to Yale and become an acclaimed artist, using provocative performances to explore the contradictions and unanswered questions of her life.

In this Pulitzer Prize-finalist biography, the author of Mad at the World examines the little-known life of the man behind the well-known bird survey.

Sometimes, a little nudge from the universe pushes one to find his raison d'etre in life. If actor Sonu Sood had given in to the celebrity syndrome of sitting in his ivory tower and expressing his generosity by remote control, he would have never come face to face with the trauma of India's...

Самая знаменитая балерина прошлого столетия - Анна Павлова. В детстве ее считали слишком худой и нескладной, в ее успех не верил практически никто, никто, кроме самой Анны Павловой. Оказавшись однажды с матерью на балете в Мариинском театре, девочка буквально "заболела" танцами.

L`autore dei bestseller Steve Jobs, Einstein e Benjamin Franklin ritorna con un`accattivante biografia di Leonardo da Vinci, considerato uno degli individui di talento più diversificato che abbia mai vissuto.

Marsden Hartley (1877-1943) was proud to call himself an American artist, but he dreamed of travel to Europe, believing that he would learn more there than in his home state of Maine, or even in New York. His rise to prominence as a specifically American modernist was based largely on the visual influences that he encountered in 1912-15 in the vibrant cities of Paris, Berlin, and Munich, which he then synthesized through a New England perspective.

Cieli, occhi, corvi, girasoli: dovunque giri lo sguardo, Johanna vede dipinti di Van Gogh. Splendono nel buio, la svegliano all'alba; prima del canto degli uccelli, prima dei rumori di Parigi che riparte. La gente non li capisce, non li ama. Li usa come fondi d'armadio, per tappare i buchi del pollaio. Van Gogh si spara al petto e con lui se ne va il fratello Theo, inseparabile anche nella morte Johanna resta sola con un piccolino nella culla: si chiama Vincent come suo zio. Lui e i dipinti illuminano il nero che l'ha avvolta.

So much is surprising and captivating about this coming-of-age story of a culture-rich, pre-and-proto-’60s upper class girl with rebellion and independence wired in. Lale’s early decades were a complex mixture of innocence, sophistication, doubt, passion, adventure, and brutal self-criticism. They live in a small East Side walk-up, but her mother orders custom-made clothes from Christian Dior in Paris. Finally finding focus for her passion, she powers her way into her chosen profession: architecture.

Un hombre verdaderamente vive incluso después de su muerte si deja un legado que lo transcienda durante años. Albert Einstein, Harriet Tubman, Karl Marx, Mozart, Marie Curie, Van Gogh, Marsha Johnson - hay tantos ejemplos de hombres y mujeres cuyas acciones revolucionaron la historia y allanaron el camino para que las generaciones futuras prosperaran. Un nombre que destaca en este sentido en el mundo del entretenimiento es el de Walt Disney.

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.

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

To understand how the macabre death of Francis Mawson Rattenbury could have happened, you have to study his life. He was a murdered genius. A victim of love. He was an architectural virtuoso who designed some of Canada's most memorable structures. Rattenbury dreamed on the grandest of scales and created edifices that remain incredible sonnets in wood and stone a century after his blueprints were penned. His buildings remain landmarks, but he was truly a forgotten Canadian hero.

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.

Many recognize Stan Lee as the face of Marvel. Yet Jack Kirby is the one who did a lot of the hard work in creating such heroes as Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, and Ant-Man. While Lee was the public face for what became the multimedia brand, Kirby’s legacy is relegated to the shadows. Much like Bill Finger of Batman and Gene L. Coon of Star Trek, this man doesn’t get enough credit. A man who gave everything to the comic book industry. This book hopes to shed some light on his life and career.
