Each chapter unlocks a new side of the man whose mind refused to be confined by any single label.

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.

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.

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.

Johann König verliert als Kind durch einen Unfall fast vollständig seine Sehkraft. Wie kann man sich Kunst erschließen, wenn man sich auf seine Augen nicht verlassen kann? Was ist Sehen überhaupt, wenn die Welt um einen herum verschwimmt? In seinem Buch "Blinder Galerist" beschreibt Johann König, wie es ihm gelang, die Welt und die Kunst neu wahrzunehmen. "Die Bilder, die im Kopf entstehen, sind genauso wichtig wie die Bilder an der Wand".

La muy premiada biografía definitiva de Elvis Presley, en edición revisada y económica, en dos volúmenes. Pasará mucho tiempo antes de que otra biografía coseche tan encendidos elogios como los obtenidos por esta obra definitiva (el adjetivo no es, por una vez, hiperbólico) sobre la fulgurante ascensión y la apoteósica decadencia de un cantante ya instalado en la mitología popular contemporánea.

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.

Rita pode ter tido de tudo, menos uma “vidinha besta”. E os últimos anos foram, sim, desafiadores. Ao mesmo tempo que o mundo passava por uma pandemia, ela foi diagnosticada com câncer no pulmão.

Fala também da rotina, dos avisos do Universo, de seres de luz e dos caminhos que a vida tomou.

In Sometime a Clear Light: A Photographer's Journey Through Alaska, Nigeria, and Life, Aylette Jenness reflects on living with her husband and two small children in a tiny Yu'pik village in Alaska in the early 1960s, as well as the time they spent in Africa from 1966 to 1969, three of the most terrible years of the Nigerian Civil War (the Nigerian-Biafran War). It was a tumultuous time for Aylette as well, as she split from her husband, an anthropologist, who had been sent to Nigeria to study the resettlement driven by the construction of the Kainji Dam.

Als Picasso 1947 den Friseur Eugénio Arias kennenlernt, entwickelt sich eine tiefe Beziehung zwischen ihnen. Vor allem ihre Überzeugung als Kommunisten verbindet die beiden Spanier im südfranzösischen Exil. Sie teilen aber auch ihre Liebe zum Stierkampf und einen spielerisch frechen Humor. "Picassos Friseur" erzählt von der ungewöhnlichen Freundschaft zweier außergewöhnlicher Männer und vom Menschen und treuen Kameraden hinter dem weltberühmten Maler.

Etwa 470 Briefe umfasst der Briefwechsel zwischen dem großen Berliner Maler Max Liebermann und dem Direktor der Hamburger Kunsthalle Alfred Lichtwark. Lichtwark, der als einer der Ersten Liebermanns Kunst förderte, hatte einen starken Einfluss auf den Maler. Liebermann wiederum war dem Mentor dankbar für die persönliche Beratung und Freundschaft. Als Liebermann seinen Landsitz in Berlin-Wannsee errichtete, plante er die Gartengestaltung in einer ausführlichen Korrespondenz mit Lichtwark. Er selbst entwickelte für die Gartenlandschaft eine Grundidee und arbeitete sie mit seinem Freund zu einem vielgestaltigen modernen Garten aus.

"Ho deciso di partire. Non posso più restare qui, mi scoppia il cuore. Ho detto ieri al dottor Peyron che domani salirò sul treno e andrò via per sempre." Come in un vero e proprio "diario ritrovato" Vincent van Gogh ci racconta, giorno per giorno, le ultime settimane della sua vita trascorse nel villaggio di Auvers-sur-Oise, a nord di Parigi. Un’autobiografia ideale e poetica, fatta anche di tanti ricordi, in cui Marco Goldin presta le sue parole al grande pittore olandese, con un passo narrativo coinvolgente e sempre fedele alle fonti storiche e all'epistolario.

Barton Rubenstein had a picture-perfect childhood—a loving family, idyllic summers at the beach, and a particularly close kinship with his progressive, charismatic, and devoted mom. When she died after a brutal five-year battle with cancer, Barton, just 18, found himself confronted by unbearable heartbreak. He was also saddened that his mother had not realized many of her dreams, and felt terrified that he could meet the same fate. This fear sent him headlong into a life of unexpected adventures and achievements, feeling that tomorrow could be too late.

What do artist models think about while posing nude on the stand? Do they watch you as much as you watch them? Are they musing about their misadventures or what they want to do when they put their clothes back on and go home? Is it possible that they are living, breathing bodies who are reminiscing about their trips to Europe, Morocco, or New York City? What were the union rules for those in the San Francisco Model's Guild? What about the world of theatre? Is it very different from the world of artist modeling? The answers to all these pressing questions are in this memoir....
