Em Notre-Dame, Ken Follett reflete sobre o papel que a catedral desempenhou ao longo do tempo e revela a influência que ela exerceu tanto em outras catedrais ao redor do mundo quanto em um de seus mais conhecidos e adorados romances, Os Pilares da Terra. Ele descreve, também, as emoções que sentiu ao saber do incêndio que quase destruiu uma das maiores catedrais do mundo.

El itinerario de Sergio Rodríguez Blanco nos recuerda a las mejores páginas de sus dos modelos del viajero intelectual: José Vasconcelos y Sergio Pitol. El autor nació en España, pero desde hace años habita en México en un mundo fluido: sale a caminar por el centro de la Ciudad de México y de pronto lo acompañamos a una lección de arte contemporáneo en la bienal de Venecia. Desentraña el misterio de una película que Federico Fellini jamás rodó y páginas después, Sergio comprende que volver a México es una forma más de reiniciar el viaje.

In this brief treatise, Professor Rookmaaker explores the value of art in the Kingdom of God. He asks, what is the God-given purpose of our talents? What of those talents whose only contribution is beauty? He insightfully examines the spiritual crisis in current art, the effect of a meaning vacuum on art and society as a whole. He admonishes Christian artists (and us all) to "weep, pray, think, and work" as our means of seeking the Kingdom of God, and his encouragement kindles our spirits and moves us, in our art, whatever our art, to do the truth.

Si hiciésemos una encuesta para saber cuántos pintores conocemos, la mayoría consultada mencionaría a Goya, Velázquez o Van Gogh, pero con seguridad no se hallaría a ninguna mujer en esta lista. Como si no hubiesen existido, pero no es verdad, existieron muchas y excelentes pintoras. ¿Por qué no las conocemos? Porque a lo largo de los siglos han estado escondidas en conventos en el Medievo o dedicándose a labores domésticas en el Renacimiento o el Barroco.

The perception of the muse is that of a passive, powerless model, at the mercy of an influential and older artist. But is this trope a romanticised myth?

From Leonardo da Vinci's studio to the covers of Vogue, Ruth Millington uncovers the remarkable role of muses in some of art history's most well-known and significant works.

Harvey Kurtzman created Mad, and Mad revolutionized humor in America. Kurtzman was the original editor, artist, and sole writer of Mad, one of the greatest publishing successes of the twentieth century. But how did Kurtzman invent Mad, and why did he leave it shortly after it burst, nova-like, onto the American scene? For this heavily researched biography, Bill Schelly conducted new interviews with Kurtzman’s colleagues, friends, and family, including Hugh Hefner, R. Crumb, Jack Davis, and many others, and examined Kurtzman’s personal archives.

World War I saw an unprecedented loss of life in Western Europe, and destruction on a scale no one alive had ever seen.

This captivating series examines the impact of the war on artists and thinkers through the prism of their great works. In each episode, a leading figure from the worlds of science, culture and the arts reflects on a single iconic piece, and discusses how the events of 1914-18 shaped its creation.

Este es un ensayo corto, un poco alejado de un análisis puramente psicoanalítico, que intenta interpretar la enigmática escultura de Moisés en San Pietro-Vincoli esculpida por Miguel Ángel.

Fragile Cargo will share the as-yet-untold story of the brave people who saved China's art from the ravages of the Second World War, undertaking a perilous journey across the vast country in order to protect these fragile treasures. After the end of the war, and the beginning of the Communist regime, the Forbidden City curators were each faced with a stark choice: remain with their rescued artefacts in China, or flee with them to Taiwan. Depending on their choice, the curators' fates took startlingly different, sometimes heart-breaking turns.

Since the late-1990s, the fate of Nazi stolen art has become a cause célèbre. In Belonging and Betrayal, Charles Dellheim turns this story on its head by revealing how certain Jewish outsiders came to acquire so many old and modern masterpieces in the first place—and what this reveals about Jews, art, and modernity. This audiobook tells the epic story of the fortunes and misfortunes of a small number of eminent art dealers and collectors who, against the odds, played a pivotal role in the migration of works of art from Europe to the United States and in the triumph of modern art.

One of the nation’s top art critics shows how six great artists made old age a time of triumph by producing some of the greatest work of their long careers—and, in some cases, changing the course of art history. Though these six artists differed in many respects, they shared one thing: a determination to go on creating, driven not by the bounding energies of youth but by the ticking clock that would inspire them to produce some of their greatest masterpieces.

Meditation teacher, filmmaker, writer, and art savant Kevin Townley turns his unique gaze upon 26 artists and magnifies the power and meaning of the five Buddhist wisdom energies through explorations of their work. Rather than trying to "explain" these energies, he reveals them to you in familiar visual language while, of course, pushing the boundaries of what you might have thought you saw at first glance. Townley leads you to, invites you in, and sometimes springs upon you, the perennial wisdom in the worlds of artists from Artemisia to Hilma af Klint to Marilyn Minter.

Un retrato poderoso, moderno, íntimo y profundamente humano de una era de destrucción extrema y creatividad excepcional, el renacimiento italiano, un periodo que moldeó la cultura occidental y que fue mucho más extraño, oscuro y fascinante de lo que nos han enseñado.

Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Art Spiegelman is one of our most influential contemporary artists; it’s hard to overstate his effect on postwar American culture. Maus shaped the fields of literature, history, and art, and has enlivened our collective sense of possibilities for expression. A timeless work in more ways than one, Maus has also often been at the center of debates, as its recent ban by the McMinn County, Tennessee, school board from the district’s English language-arts curriculum demonstrates.

In January 1939, Pablo Picasso was renowned in Europe but disdained by many in the United States. One year later, Americans across the country were clamoring to see his art. How did the controversial leader of the Paris avant-garde break through to the heart of American culture? The answer begins a generation earlier, when a renegade Irish American lawyer named John Quinn set out to build the greatest collection of Picassos in existence. His dream of a museum to house them died with him, until it was rediscovered by Alfred H. Barr, Jr.

Artemisia Gentileschi, già tredicenne ricalcava Dürer, senza vergogna denunciò il pittore Agostino Tassi perché colpevole di averla violentata. Antigone sfidò la legge degli uomini per seppellire il fratello Polinice, accusato di tradimento. Constance Quéniaux, ballerina all'Opéra di Parigi, offrì a Courbet il suo dettaglio più intimo perché dipingesse "L'origine del mondo". La regina Nefertiti, "la Bella che qui viene", incendiò il desiderio del capo scultore di corte, che la consacrò, per quanto imperfetta, nella scultura più seducente che la storia ricordi.

Perché i quadri dipinti da uno scimpanzé sono stati quotati più di tante opere di artisti famosi? Perché un orinatoio è divenuto l'emblema dell'arte del Novecento? E perché tanti artisti d'oggi operano con i paradossi della logica, più che con i pennelli? Mentre la riproduzione di una zuppa Campbell ha un enorme valore nel mercato artistico se è opera di Andy Warhol, è considerata un sintomo di disordine mentale se l'autore è internato in un manicomio svizzero.
