Starting with the Civil War and cartoonist Thomas Nast, creator of the lasting images of Uncle Sam and Santa Claus, author Jeremy Dauber whizzes listeners through the progress of comics in the 20th century and beyond. Follow the history from the golden age of newspaper comic strips - Krazy Kat, Yellow Kid, Dick Tracy - to the midcentury superhero boom - Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman - and from the moral panic of the Eisenhower era to the underground comix movement; from the grim and gritty Dark Knights to the graphic novel’s rise.

Of all the self-doubting people in the world, nobody, it seems, doubts themselves more than creative people. Whether creating code for a new application, painting a mural, forging a new way forward in business, or writing a book, creatives tend to suffer from more self-doubt than other humans. Because, while creativity is demanded, it is rarely respected. Many fear the power of creative influence because they fear the unknown.

Due analisi, una artistica, l`altra storica, ci porteranno su percorsi diversi, entrambi affascinanti, dalle ampie valenze simboliche e psicologiche, per ricondurci infine alla stessa conclusione - la Gorgone mostruosa cela un primigenio mistero. Vediamo quale.

In these two lectures about Sandro Botticelli (1444-1510) and the meaning behind two of his best-loved paintings, Angela introduces you to the esoteric worldview which flourished in the early centuries CE in cultural centres such as Alexandria in Egypt, and was reborn in Renaissance Europe.

Insurrección Cultural explora los distintos panoramas (culturales, ecológicos, naturales) para encontrar un camino a seguir: la construcción de una ecología de la cultura. Jonathan Nossiter se inspira en la viticultura rebelde y en el gesto fraternal de muchos productores de vino natural que hace tiempo vienen generando nuevas propuestas para una mejora de la calidad de vida y de la cultura, artesanos de la tierra, verdaderos artistas que volvieron a retomar el papel de la protesta, la disidencia, últimamente abandonado por los artistas.

Se davanti a una tela di Jackson Pollock la tua reazione è "Vabbè, con una latta da cinque litri nel garage di zio Franco questo lo facevo pure io", questo audiolibro è per te. Perché tutti pensano che per apprezzare l'arte siano necessari paroloni incomprensibili o libri pallosissimi? Daniela Collu vuole dimostrarci che non è così. Storica dell'arte per formazione e conduttrice radiotelevisiva per professione, ci invita a una passeggiata tra 60 opere, artisti e monumenti fondamentali, facendoci scoprire che si può godere della bellezza senza soggezione.

Piero della Francesca di Bernard Berenson è un'opera irriverente e rivoluzionaria, un testo cardinale della critica d'arte novecentesca. Berenson insegue la bellezza nascosta e silenziosa a partire dall'arte classica, attraverso le luminose prove medievali, fino alle soglie della modernità di Cézanne, Degas e van Gogh. Perché l'arte è senza tempo, come eterno e sempre nuovo è lo stupore che suscita in noi. Introduzione di Vittorio Sgarbi.

La mattina del 10 ottobre 1517 il cardinale Luigi d'Aragona e il suo segretario Antonio de Beatis salirono su una collina sulle rive della Loira verso il castello di Cloux. Non andavano a rendere omaggio a un membro della famiglia reale ma a un principe dell'arte, e per di più italiano. In quella giornata, Leonardo mostra al cardinale e al suo seguito tre quadri ai quali stava lavorando e che saranno gli ultimi che dipingerà prima di morire: la Sant'Anna, il San Giovannino e la Gioconda.

"Il dipinto era steso su un ampio tavolo coperto da carta velina. Presentava l'aspetto comune a molti dipinti antichi realizzati con una tecnica eccellente. Le vernici ingiallite offuscavano i colori e le forme. Ma lasciavano trapelare intatta la forza della pittura di Michelangelo." Antonio Forcellino, tra i massimi conoscitori dell'opera del maestro fiorentino, è abituato a ricevere decine di richieste di expertise, la maggior parte improbabili. Tra queste c'è anche quella di un americano che gli manda per email la fotografia del disegno preparatorio di una tavola in suo possesso.

When launching the Talk Art podcast in 2018, actor Russell Tovey and gallerist Robert Diament had one clear aim: to make the art world more accessible. Since then, the podcast has grown to be a global hit, featuring exclusive interviews with leading artists, curators, gallerists, actors, musicians and fellow art lovers such as Lena Dunham, Sir Paul Smith, David Shrigley, Noel Fielding, Edward Enninful, Rose Wylie and Sir Elton John.

This is the story of the "Benin Bronzes", their creation, theft, and what should happen to them now. When first exhibited in London, they caused a sensation and helped reshape European attitudes towards Africa, challenging the prevailing view of the continent as "backward" and without culture. But seeing them in the British Museum today is, in the words of one Benin City artist, like "visiting relatives behind bars". In a time of fevered debate about the legacies of empire, loot, museums, and history, what does the future hold for the Bronzes themselves?

The Best Job in the World is the story of how following your passions can lead to life-changing opportunities. Adventurer Ben Southall shares his experiences and lessons learned as the winner of the inaugural Tourism Queensland's Best Job in the World campaign, and reveals how this has led to ongoing opportunities since. Part autobiography, part insight into the power of a unique marketing campaign, this book follows Ben's journey - from leaving the UK on his own expedition around Africa to his new role as caretaker of Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef.

The divide between the digital and the real world no longer exists: we are connected all the time. How do we find out who we are within this digital era? Where do we create the space to explore our identity? How can we come together and create solidarity? The glitch is often dismissed as an error, a faulty overlaying, but, as Legacy Russell shows, liberation can be found within the fissures between gender, technology and the body that it creates.

Conceived over 30 years of painting and creating in his studio, this book is Makoto Fujimura's broad and deep exploration of creativity and the spiritual aspects of "making". What he does in the studio is theological work as much as it is aesthetic work. In between pouring precious, pulverized minerals onto handmade paper to create the prismatic, refractive surfaces of his art, he comes into the quiet space in the studio, in a discipline of awareness, waiting, prayer, and praise.

As Hitler prepared to invade Poland during the sweltering summer of 1939, men and women from across London's museums, galleries and archives formulated ingenious plans to send the nation's highest prized objects to safety. Using stately homes, tube tunnels, slate mines, castles, prisons, stone quarries and even their own homes, a dedicated bunch of unlikely misfits packed up the nation's greatest treasures and, in a race against time, dispatched them throughout the country on a series of top-secret wartime adventures.

For the past 140 years, Germany has been the central power in continental Europe. Thirty years ago, a new German state came into being. How much do we really understand this new Germany, and how do its people now understand themselves? Neil MacGregor argues that uniquely for any European country, no coherent, over-arching narrative of Germany's history can be constructed, for in Germany, both geography and history have always been unstable.

Art critic and broadcaster Alastair Sooke, accompanied by some of the world's leading creative thinkers, takes an in-depth look at the outstanding exhibits in New York's MoMA, exploring how the way we 'see' art is shaped by our experiences and perspectives. His guests include some of the sharpest minds of our time - artists, writers, designers, comedians, musicians and scientists, among them Steve Martin, Margaret Cho, John Waters, Roxane Gay, Fiona Shaw, Orhan Pamuk and Stanley Tucci.

Clive Bell is perhaps more well-known today for being a Bloomsbury socialite and the husband of Vanessa Bell, sister to Virginia Woolf. Yet Bell was a highly important figure in his own right: an internationally renowned art critic who championed young artists, he defended daring new forms of expression at a time when Britain was closed off to all things foreign. For decades Bell has been a shadowy figure, refracted through the wealth of writing on Bloomsbury, but here Mark Hussey brings Bell to the forefront.

Until the 20th century, art history was, in the main, written by white, western men who tended to write about other white, western men. The idea that women in the West have always made art was rarely cited as a possibility. Yet, they have - and, of course, continue to do so - often against tremendous odds, from laws to religion and the pressures of family and public disapproval. Feminism has shaken up the story of art and, for the first time, cast light on the often-brilliant work by women artists who were often ignored, patronised or marginalised.

Count Moïse de Camondo lived a few doors away from Edmund de Waal's forebears, the Ephrussi, first encountered in his best-selling memoir The Hare with Amber Eyes. Like the Ephrussi, the Camondos were part of Belle Epoque high society. They were also targets of anti-Semitism. Camondo created a spectacular house and filled it with the greatest private collection of French 18th-century art for his son to inherit. But when Nissim was killed in the First World War, it became a memorial and, on the Count's death, was bequeathed to France.
