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.

A natural-born prodigy, he began painting at the age of two and never stopped until his death at the age of 91. From a young age, Picasso oozed defiance against formal authority.

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.

Iconoclast. Contrarian. Pugilist. Artist. Throughout his life, shrewd self-promoter and creative genius Edgar Leeteg possessed many titles, astounding fans and antagonizing critics.

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.

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.
