For centuries, travellers would stare up at the stars to guide them. Constellations of shining lights would offer a path forward or a way through, delivering courage and hope on long, difficult voyages. Throughout her life, Gemma Cairney has pieced together her own constellation, one which is made up of inspirational women - artists, activists, musicians, writers, mathematicians, mystics - who guide her, fill her creative cup and provide a sense of solace and selfhood.

This book is a biographical story that is both inspirational and historic in its nature. It serves to describe how important it is for us as human beings to seek to honor God in our lives and to guide others to that same blessing. I describe specific instances in my life to show others how special he is, but I also reveal how lighthouses were directly connected to those moments. I show how THE MIGHTY LIGHTHOUSE was not just a coincidental favorite interest of mine but was divinely placed in my life as a blessing that would ultimately be used to serve as a major part of my ministry.

Ambroise Vollard (1866 - 1939) fu un famoso mercante di quadri. Favorì la diffusione di pittori allora sconosciuti e avolte osteggiati, come è il caso Cézanne che trovò qualche riconoscimento solo tardi nella vita. In questa "vita di Cézanne" si ha il privilegio di conoscere il pittore nella sua simpatica follia d'artista. Lo stesso Vollard si fece da lui ritrarre (in copertina) e le sue sedute di posa si rivelarono un'avventura impensata.

This combination of serious artistic engagement with warmth and clarity of prose revels in the experiences and pleasures of art and the body, identity, and community.

Was Walt Disney a purveyor of homely patriotic values or a representative of American imperialism? He could be said to be the quintessential American. He came from a family of immigrants, he worked his way to the top, and he always had a story to tell. The main theme always running through Disney productions was that of the underdogs and misfits trying to make it against seemingly insurmountable odds.

Oscar Claude Monet, ossia l'impressionismo. Fu lui, infatti che si impose e che delineò con le sue opere, "impressioni su tela" destinate a diventare le capostipiti di una corrente artistica che divenne predominante tra la fine del 1800 e l'inizio del 1900. Di sicuro il dotatissimo ragazzo di Montmartre di origini modeste non poteva immaginare che la sua passione per la pittura, l'avrebbe reso celebre, e che le sue tele sarebbero diventate icone di bellezza in grado di suscitare ammirazione e di emozionare.

Van Gogh is a vivid portrait of the great Impressionist painter that traces his life from the Netherlands, where he was born into a family of art dealers, through his years in England, the Hague, and Paris, to his final home in Arles, where he discovered the luminous style of his late paintings before his suicide at the age of thirty-seven.

Romain Rolland (1866-1944), premio Nobel per la letteratura nel 1915, ha dedicato l'opera e la vita alla diffusione di un credo umanitario di pace e di fraternità. Compose numerose biografie esemplari, tra cui questa di Michelangelo, nel 1905. La vita dell'eroe della Sistina (come lo chiama l'autore) viene percorsa più volte analizzando vari aspetti della sua vita: la lotta, la sua ossessione artistica, gli amori idealizzati, e infine, l’amore per Dio e il desiderio della liberazione dalla vita.

Pablo Picasso è indubbiamente uno degli artisti più famosi del mondo. La sua capacità tecnica, immaginativa e creativa unita alla passione, alla forza del suo carattere, alla determinazione, all'opportunismo di saper sfruttare amicizie e situazioni, insieme alle emozioni date dai grandi amori, le vicende politiche, i drammi della vita e le ingiustizie della guerra, hanno creato un connubio unico e irrefrenabile nella sua capacità espressiva, rivoluzionaria e artistica.

Delle 820 lettere scritte da Van Gogh nell'arco della sua breve esistenza ben 651 sono indirizzate al fratello Theo: il primo a comprenderne il talento e a incoraggiarne la vocazione, e il solo che non gli negò mai l'indispensabile sostegno morale e finanziario. Pochi artisti hanno rivelato così tanto di sé stessi nei propri scritti.

О Сальвадоре Дали знают даже те, кто далек от искусства. Легенда XX века, неразрешимая загадка столетия. Кем он был? Безумным художником? Агрессивным социопатом? Алчным обманщиком, готовым водить людей за нос ради денег?.. Или создателем собственного видимого мира, полного противоречий и недосказанностей?
