Showing titles in Artists, Architects & Photographers

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.

Alles begann am 8. Januar 2018. Ich bin in Salzburg/Österreich aus dem Zug gestiegen. Mit wedelnden, selbstgestrickten Socken, befestigt an der Halterung für ein Selfie vom Handy, erahnte ich zwischen den Menschenmassen, meine Kontaktperson. Warum Socken fragst du dich? Weil ich immer eiskalte Hände und Füße bekomme, wenn ich aufgeregt bin. Das wusste er, denn ich hatte es ihm geschrieben. Er ist ein Berater von einer neuen Technologie, einer neuen Methode der Lichttherapie, die schon lange in den USA, der Schweiz und Österreich nachweislich erfolgreich angewendet wird.

Les jeunes Patti Smith et Robert Mapplethorpe se rencontrent par hasard à New York à la fin des années 1960. "Just Kids", roman d'initiation bohème, retrace les débuts de ces enfants terribles, jusqu'au moment où la chanteuse enregistre son premier album, "Horses", et voit décoller sa carrière. Cette épopée mythique, histoire d'amour et d'amitié, qui s'ouvre et s'achève avec la mort du photographe, immortalise les instants incandescents d'une période décisive dans ces deux vies d'artistes et dans l'histoire de la musique américaine.

Tout le monde connaît la tour Eiffel, personne ne connaît Gustave Eiffel. Ingénieur et inventeur de génie, Gustave Eiffel a bâti des édifices sur toute la planète, de la statue de la Liberté au viaduc de Garabit, de la gare de Budapest au pont de Porto. Il a connu la gloire et la descente aux enfers, les têtes couronnées et la prison. La construction de la Tour, clou de l'Exposition universelle de 1889, a constitué une incroyable aventure humaine et Gustave a dû se battre pendant vingt ans pour que son œuvre ne soit pas démolie.

Iconoclast. Contrarian. Pugilist. Artist. Throughout his life, shrewd self-promoter and creative genius Edgar Leeteg possessed many titles, astounding fans and antagonizing critics. Considered the “American Gauguin”, the rakish ladies’ man originated the modern technique of oil painting on black velvet. Once memorialized by James Michener as the original rascal in paradise, he redefined artistic success by pioneering a form of painting in the South Pacific that would forever change the world.

Wer war er? Scharlatan, Guru, Magier, Schamane? Oder ein Künstler, der die Dimensionen herkömmlicher Kunst und Kunstauffassung sprengte? Basierend auf jahrzehntelangen persönlichen Kontakten und Gesprächen mit Angehörigen und Freunden, Anhängern und Gegnern, entwirft Heiner Stachelhaus ein einfühlsames und differenziertes Portrait eines komplizierten Künstlerlebens.

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. Come descrive Walter Isaacson, il genio di Leonardo era del tipo che possiamo capire e prendere lezioni da.

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.

Классицизм (от лат. classicus - образцовый) - художественный стиль европейского искусства XVII-XIX вв., одной из важнейших черт которого было обращение к античному искусству как высшему образцу и опора на традиции высокого Возрождения.

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.

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.
