The volatile years of England's Tudor dynasty (1485–1603) and the five monarchs who ruled England during this period continue to fascinate and intrigue. Thanks to the paintings of artists like Hans Holbein, we have very definitive ideas about the appearance and personalities of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and her successor Elizabeth I. It is through their eyes of artists that we still see the dynasty which ruled England for just over a century.

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.

What begins as a meditation on photography evolves into something much deeper—a journey through art, memory, and self-discovery. In My Sort of Philosophy, Christian Santiago invites listeners into his world of storytelling, where images, words, and life experiences blur into one evolving narrative. This audiobook isn’t a traditional “how-to” or a step-by-step manual. Instead, it unfolds naturally—like a photograph developing in the darkroom—capturing the beauty of imperfection, the uncertainty of time, and the ways art shapes the way we see ourselves and the world around us.

Finding Me: From Imposter to Icon is the raw, unfiltered story of how I went from pretending to be someone else to becoming a two-time Photographer of the Year. It’s about the setbacks that nearly broke me, the unexpected moments that shaped me, and the lessons I learned from capturing one of the fastest, most chaotic sports in the world. More than a memoir about paintball or photography, this is a journey of identity, resilience, and discovering what happens when you stop living for others and start living for yourself.

Written by the former Deputy Head of Make-Up and Wigs at the National Theatre, this book opens up a process that very few people will otherwise be privy to, giving perspectives on the preparation before a production and responsibilities during, as well as looking more widely at training, career opportunities and success. From designing and fitting wigs to managing lightning-fast quick changes, hair, wigs and make-up people are a major part of the creation of any theatrical production.

Gennem samtaler med folk, der har kendt Poul Reichhardt (1913-1985), og et grundigt kig på hans livsforløb, fortæller Carsten Borch historien om en af danmarkshistoriens mest folkekære skuespillere og instruktører. Bogen fortæller om hans ukuelige gåpåmod, der fik ham frem i teater- og filmbranchen, selvom han igen og igen fik at vide, at han på trods af sit kønne udseende ikke ejede skyggen af talent.

La pieza es analizada con exhaustividad, incluyendo todo lo conocido hasta ahora de ella y exponiendo nuevas hipótesis, valientes pero cimentadas en el amplio conocimiento que el autor tiene de la sociedad ibérica y, sobre todo, de su ritualidad y religiosidad. La escultura antropomorfa ibera supone uno de los componentes más importantes de la llamada cultura ibérica, que permite comprenderla integrada en un fenómeno mediterráneo que se desarrolló en determinados lugares de sus territorios costeros.

This is the first book to closely examine the curatorial work that the celebrated poet Frank O'Hara (1926-1966) undertook for the Museum of Modern Art in New York and abroad. Upon his premature death, the New York Times obituary ran with the headline: 'Frank O'Hara, 40, Museum Curator / Exhibitions Aide at Modern Art Dies – Also a Poet'. However, in the half a century since, O'Hara's fascinating career as a curator has been eclipsed by the critical attention given over to his poetry.

Утром 12 октября 1654 года в городе Делфт раздался «раскат грома». Колоссальный взрыв на пороховом складе разрушил целый квартал, унеся сотни жизней и покалечив еще тысячи. Среди жертв был молодой ученик Рембрандта, автор знаменитого шедевра «Щегол», — Карел Фабрициус. Ему суждено пролежать под развалинами, среди дыма и удушающей пыли, рядом с собственным полотном, долгие шесть часов. Помощь пришла слишком поздно.

He died broke, bleeding, and unknown. Now he’s priceless. Van Gogh: A Life in Color, Pain, and Immortality isn’t your typical artist biography. It’s a raw, unfiltered journey into the soul of a man we turned into a myth — and what we lost when we did. This book peels away the poster boy tragedy, the swirling clichés, and the pop-culture memes to reveal the real Vincent: a failed preacher, a frantic letter-writer, a man who lived on bread crusts and absinthe — and painted like the stars were screaming.

You’ve heard the names. You’ve seen the paintings. Maybe you even thought they were just Ninja Turtles. But behind the marble and oil paint were four real men—Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello—who didn’t just create art. They rewired civilization. This isn’t a sleepy art history book. It’s a front-row seat to the most creative, competitive, and gloriously petty era in human history. Rivals, patrons, popes, politics, and power—it’s all here.

A cultural storm swept through the 1960s—Pop Art, Bob Dylan, psychedelia, underground movies—and at its center sat a bemused young artist with silver hair: Andy Warhol. Andy knew everybody (from the cultural commissioner of New York to drug-driven drag queens) and everybody knew Andy.

Aprile 1975, Pùbol, Gerona. Gala Éluard Dalì si ritira per una settimana in solitudine nel castello che il suo secondo marito, Salvador Dalì, le ha regalato. Una notte una ragazza bussa alla sua porta: è una giovane studentessa dell'Università di Torino che sta lavorando alla sua tesi di laurea. Si apre così un incontro causale, ma forse necessario per entrambe, che si svolge all'interno di quello che Dalì considerò il suo più grande capolavoro.

In Belle Époque Paris, the Eiffel Tower was newly built, France was experiencing remarkable political stability, and American women were painting the town and gathering at a female-only Residence known as The American Girls' Club in Paris. Opened in 1893, The Club was the center of expatriate living and of dedication to a calling in the fine arts, and singularly harbored a generation of independent, talented, and driven American women. Now in The Club, curator, art historian, and podcast host Jennifer Dasal presents the never-before-told story of the Club.
