Why would anyone want to watch horror movies? Why would Christians, in particular, bother with the genre? In Fear Not!, critic Josh Larsen makes the case that monster movies, creature features, slashers, and other fright films artfully reflect our deep worries in a way that resonates with the Christian experience. Combining critical observation and theological reflection, Larsen devotes each chapter to a different horror subgenre, connecting that subgenre to a commonly shared fear.

Para Francis Schaeffer, o cristão deve usar as artes para glorificar a Deus, não simplesmente como propaganda evangelística, mas como algo belo para a glória de Deus. "A Arte e a Bíblia" é uma obra fundamental para cristãos atuantes no mundo das artes. Neste clássico, Schaeffer examina o registro escritural da utilização de várias formas artísticas e estabelece uma perspectiva cristã sobre a arte. Com clareza e vigor, ele explica por que "o cristão é alguém cuja imaginação deve voar além das estrelas".

Der Wiener Hofsekretär Jaromir von Eynhuf will seinem Landesvater Kaiser Franz I. zu dessen 25. Thronjubiläum seine Milchzahnsammlung überreichen. Inzwischen besitzt der Sekretär bereits stolze 24 Zähne, allesamt akkurat auf Samt drapiert. Doch zur Darstellung der Jubiläumszahl fehlt noch ein letzter Zahn und so beginnt eine wilde Jagd nach dem 25. Exemplar. Fritz von Herzmanovsky-Orlando, 1877 in Wien geboren, hat mit »Der Gaulschreck im Rosennetz« der K.-u.-k.-Monarchie ein unvergessliches literarisches Denkmal gesetzt – meisterhaft gelesen von Werner Kreindl.

Das abenteuerliche Leben der Sehnsuchtsbilder von Caspar David Friedrich – mitreißend erzählt von Florian Illies. Kein deutscher Maler löst solche Emotionen aus wie Caspar David Friedrich: Seine abendlichen Himmel sind bis heute Ikonen der Sehnsucht, er inspirierte Samuel Beckett zu "Warten auf Godot" und Walt Disney zu "Bambi" – Goethe jedoch machte die rätselhafte Melancholie seiner Bilder so wütend, dass er sie auf der Tischkante zerschlagen wollte.

Cv/VAR 124 publishes an interview recorded in 2010 with Mat Collishaw, first published in Interviews-Artists Volume Three, explores the range of his work, from 'zoetropes', animated models exhibited at the Freud Museum and installed at the Victoria and Albert museum, to photo-works and projections, with the artist’s original interventions in the natural world that fuse histories, desires and dreams.

Written between 2015-16, with color images of well-known old masters and contemporary art as well as some of the Bergers’ own drawings and watercolors, Over to You is an informal back and forth not unlike the ping-pong games father and son used to play in the barn of their house. It begins when John—who is in a Parisian suburb—sends Yves—who is in Haute Savoie—an envelope of reproductions of art that have moved him. And so they begin to reveal their thoughts looking at a Goya, Watteau, Twombly, Joan Mitchell, Durer, Caravaggio, Manet, and Euan Uglow, among many others.

Как известно, жизнь каждого яркого дарования делится обычно на три периода. Сначала его осыпают насмешками и бранью, всячески угнетают и преследуют. Потом открывается счастливое время признания, за которым следуют дни восторженного поклонения. Наконец, так же неминуемо наступает охлаждение, сопровождающееся нередко резкими выпадами по адресу недавнего любимца и властителя дум. Этой трафаретной схемы избежали немногие даровитые люди, и единственный вариант, вносимый в нее жизнью, сводится к тому, что одни умирают в расцвете славы, а другим суждено ее пережить, изведать к концу жизни всю горечь забвения.

On July 29, 1890, a hot and muggy afternoon, shortly after Vincent van Gogh was laid to rest after his honor killing for “compromising” his doctor's twenty-one-year-old daughter, Marguerite, twenty-six of his unknown paintings and other art material were stolen from the hotel where he had been laid out for his final viewing by his doctor and his son.

La saga des Médicis, sous la plume du grand Dumas. Les Médicis sont une des familles les plus riches et les plus influentes de Florence. Des ressources financières considérables leur permirent d'investir dans l'architecture, la sculpture, la peinture mais aussi dans la collection de pierres précieuses et d'objets d'orfèvrerie. La maison de Médicis est apparue, au XIIe siècle, au sein de la République de Florence, et devient, au XVIe siècle, la famille régnant sur le grand-duché de Toscane.

Was hat Dalí vom Camembert gelernt? Lustig, leidenschaftlich, lehrreich – ein Blick hinter die Kulissen, der Kunstnerds wie Kunstbanausen gleichermaßen begeistert. Einer der bekanntesten Surrealisten ließ sich bei seinen fließenden Uhren von französischem Weichkäse inspirieren, der Schöpfer des ›Schrei‹, Edvard Munch, verteilte auf den meisten seiner Werke Vogelscheiße, Martin Kippenberger hat in den 1980er-Jahren ein Bild von Gerhard Richter als Tischplatte in seiner eigenen Skulptur verarbeitet.

Судьба русского историка искусства и литературы Виктора Александровича Никольского (1875–1934) была непростой. Искусствовед погружался в древнерусский декоративный мир, живопись В.И. Сурикова, творчество П.П. Кончаловского и А.В. Куприна. Двухтомный труд В.А. Никольского о русском искусстве планировали издать в одной из лучших типографий И.Д. Сытина в 1915 году. Но если автор и сумел закончить свою рукопись, когда пожар Первой мировой войны уже разгорался по всему миру, русские издатели не смогли ее выпустить в полном объеме.
