Wer war er? Scharlatan, Guru, Magier, Schamane? Oder ein Künstler, der die Dimensionen herkömmlicher Kunst und Kunstauffassung sprengte? Basierend auf jahrzehntelangen persönlichen Kontakten und Gesprächen mit Angehörigen und Freunden, Anhängern und Gegnern, entwirft Heiner Stachelhaus ein einfühlsames und differenziertes Portrait eines komplizierten Künstlerlebens.

Marsden Hartley (1877-1943) was proud to call himself an American artist, but he dreamed of travel to Europe, believing that he would learn more there than in his home state of Maine, or even in New York. His rise to prominence as a specifically American modernist was based largely on the visual influences that he encountered in 1912-15 in the vibrant cities of Paris, Berlin, and Munich, which he then synthesized through a New England perspective.

Writer Frank Beacham's new memoir, The Whole World Was Watching, tells of his coming of age in the turbulent 1960s and the compelling lifetime adventures he’s had as an independent storyteller. Beacham writes behind-the-scenes accounts of the madness at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, the Apollo 11 moon launch, the civil rights movement in Mississippi, his chilling arrest by military dictator Manuel Noriega in Panama and covering American presidents throughout the world.

Un hombre verdaderamente vive incluso después de su muerte si deja un legado que lo transcienda durante años. Albert Einstein, Harriet Tubman, Karl Marx, Mozart, Marie Curie, Van Gogh, Marsha Johnson - hay tantos ejemplos de hombres y mujeres cuyas acciones revolucionaron la historia y allanaron el camino para que las generaciones futuras prosperaran. Un nombre que destaca en este sentido en el mundo del entretenimiento es el de Walt Disney.

Неоклассицизм - термин, применяемый в искусствоведении для обозначения художественных явлений последней трети XIX и первой четверти XX веков, которым присуще обращение к традициям искусства античности, искусства эпохи Возрождения или классицизма.

Классицизм (от лат. classicus - образцовый) - художественный стиль европейского искусства XVII-XIX вв., одной из важнейших черт которого было обращение к античному искусству как высшему образцу и опора на традиции высокого Возрождения.

Леонардо да Винчи назвал живопись "немой поэзией". Картина безмолвна. Звуки и слова лишь предполагаются зрителем. Картина неподвижна. Люди, события, предметы предстают в определенном, раз и навсегда данном состоянии и виде.

Настоящий художник никогда не копирует действительность, а по-своему воспроизводит ее и толкует. Для этого он прибегает к различным приемам, условным по своей сути.

To understand how the macabre death of Francis Mawson Rattenbury could have happened, you have to study his life. He was a murdered genius. A victim of love. He was an architectural virtuoso who designed some of Canada's most memorable structures. Rattenbury dreamed on the grandest of scales and created edifices that remain incredible sonnets in wood and stone a century after his blueprints were penned. His buildings remain landmarks, but he was truly a forgotten Canadian hero.

Salvador Dalí era un maestro de lo surrealista. Sus pinturas son conocidas como "fotografías de sueños": instantáneas de pesadillas que cobran vida con asombroso detalle. Dalí era un virtuoso a nivel técnico, pero a diferencia de los grandes maestros que admiraba, como Johannes Vermeer y Diego Velázquez, eligió usar su habilidad para representar lo irreal y lo absurdo.

A mediados del siglo XIX, la Cataluña española experimentó una profunda transformación cuando fue empujada no en una, sino en dos épocas doradas: la Renaixença y la Revolución Industrial. Fue durante este período explosivo de creatividad, prosperidad floreciente y patriotismo vigorizado que nació un icono inconformista y fascinantemente excéntrico, uno que estaba a punto de asaltar Cataluña con su brillante ojo para el arte no ortodoxo y sus ideas legendarias -o como algunos dirían, notoriamente- descabelladas.

Имя прекрасной актрисы театра и кино Ольги Александровны Аросевой известно без преувеличения всем.

Seit über 40 Jahren schreibt sie Filmgeschichte und scheut weder Widerstände noch Kritik in einer von Männern dominierten Branche. Aufgeben? Niemals.

Remington’s name remains recognizable today, and his work continues to impress viewers more than a century after he was active. From the bronze statuettes of anonymous Western heroes in crisis to large-scale actions set against vast backdrops, his works found their form through mythology and by "merging his experiences and memories." Both commercially and nostalgia-driven, the dualistic personality of Frederic Remington as a person is at times a problem for modern sensibilities.

Many of the first artists in the West were assigned to exploration and geological parties, working as archivists and obedient to demands of cold accuracy. However, a few were driven by an imaginative mix of real events and fantastical visions to whet the appetite of Eastern consumers and preserve their own nostalgia on canvas. Among the most prominent artists depicting the "old" West was Charles Marion Russell, a prolific painter, sculptor, writer, and storyteller based in the heart of the Montana country.

B. Artin Haig survived the Armenian Genocide and went on for a time to become President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's photographer and one of the world's greatest.
