Warning: This book makes jokes about the Third Reich, the Reign of Terror, World War I, cancer, Millard Fillmore, and Chernobyl. When advertising legend Jim Riswold is stricken with leukemia and prostate cancer, he quits the business that made him famous to become a "fake artist", creating a controversial body of work with a controversial cast of characters, from Hitler to Mao to Kim Jong-Il. It was a decision that would save his life.

The Outsider was an instant literary sensation when it was first published in 1956, thrusting its youthful author into the front rank of contemporary writers and thinkers. Wilson rationalised the psychological dislocation so characteristic of Western creative thinking into a coherent theory of alienation, and defined those affected by it as a type: the outsider. Through the works and lives of various artists, including Kafka, Camus, Hemingway, Hesse, Lawrence, Van Gogh, Shaw, Nietzsche and Dostoevsky, Wilson explored the psyche of the outsider, his effect on society and society's on him.

Basándose en las miles de páginas de los cuadernos manuscritos de Leonardo y nuevos descubrimientos sobre su vida y su obra, Walter Isaacson teje una narración que conecta el arte de Da Vinci con sus investigaciones científicas, y nos muestra cómo el genio del hombre más visionario de la historia nació de habilidades que todos poseemos y podemos estimular, tales como la curiosidad incansable, la observación cuidadosa y la imaginación juguetona. Su creatividad, como la de todo gran innovador, resultó de la intersección entre la tecnología y las humanidades.

These biographies of the great quattrocento artists have long been considered among the most important of contemporary sources on Italian Renaissance art. Vasari, who invented the term "Renaissance", was the first to outline the influential theory of Renaissance art that traces a progression through Giotto, Brunelleschi, and finally the titanic figures of Michaelangelo, Da Vinci, and Raphael.

She was a free spirit, brilliant business woman, and beauty who never found reciprocated love. Madsen, with authority, delves into this fashion doyenne's business and private lives to reveal one woman's extraordinary progress: from orphan to millinery shopkeeper, from lodestar of feminine style to a very rich woman with a closet full of dark secrets.

Une tombe dans un cimetière de l'Île-de-France : "Vincent Willem Van Gogh, né à Groot-Zundert (Hollande) le 30 mars 1853, mort à Auvers-sur-Oise (France) le 29 juillet 1890." Ces informations laconiques évoquent à elles seules en filigrane le parcours d'une vie : le pasteur que Vincent aurait voulu être dans son pays natal, comme son père, comme son grand-père ; l'errant qu'il fut, à Bruxelles, Amsterdam, La Haye, Paris, Arles, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence et Auvers enfin.

Un peintre, un homme, un génie. Picasso fut un homme pour qui peindre voulait dire voir, et qui mieux que personne "vit" son siècle. Visionnaire, oui. Engagé corps et biens dans son absolu. Homme public dont l'existence tumultueuse fascina toujours les foules, il était aussi un personnage farouche, secret, imprévisible. Des premiers pigeons crayonnés de Málaga aux périodes bleue et rose, des folles années montmartroises aux Demoiselles d'Avignon, de l'explosion surréaliste à Guernica.

Vincent van Gogh is one of the world’s most famous artists, and his paintings are among the world’s most valuable. The archetypal starving artist, Vincent died aged just 37 years by his own hand, poor, isolated, and, in his eyes, a failure. Yet, in Vincent’s life story we can see the evolution of a boy becoming a man becoming a great artist, whether his contemporaries could see it at the time or not.

Master Italian sculptor, goldsmith, and writer Benvenuto Cellini is best remembered for his magnificent autobiography. In this work, which was actually begun in 1558 but not published until 1730, Cellini beautifully chronicles his flamboyant times. He tells of his adventures in Italy and France, and his relations with popes, kings, and fellow artists.

David Hockney has been described as Britain's 'greatest living artist'. In this fascinating collection of archive interviews, we hear - in his own words - about his paintings, his schooldays and the attitudes he had while growing up. Hockney discusses the influence that his family had on him, as well as his passion for drawing and his work rate. He also touches on the importance of different types of medium, the different periods in his life - and his future.

Dopo cinquecento anni Raffaello continua a stupire per il suo eccezionale talento, per aver saputo ritrarre le donne più sensuali del suo tempo e aver costruito immagini meravigliose e vive, nelle quali ogni personaggio ha un proprio ruolo, una propria presenza scenica, una propria storia da raccontare. I ritratti dell'urbinate svelano in modo così profondo e sottile le personalità, le incertezze e le emozioni dei suoi modelli: perché Raffaello li conosce bene e sa scavare nella loro anima.

You’re falling through time so all I can do is fall with you. The numbness had set in long before I sat at your bedside. But even with senses impaired as the flight touches down at Belfast City I can somehow still feel the screeching of wheels on tarmac scorching something deep into me. So begins Gary Lightbody's phenomenal companion book to the latest, Snow Patrol’s number one album of the same name.
