Since 1968, Garry Trudeau (b. 1948) has brought his brand of political satire to bear on public figures, movie stars, heads of state, and even on himself. Trudeau has also advocated for artists' rights and challenged industry norms while keeping a decidedly low profile. In Garry Trudeau: Doonesbury and the Aesthetics of Satire, Kerry D. Soper traces the contribution of this groundbreaking artist. Trudeau is arguably the premier American political and social satirist of the last forty years. Amazingly, he achieved this on the comics page, rather than the editorial page.

But in most ways, they couldn’t have been more different. Picasso was a communist, and probably the only thing Truman hated more than communists was modern art. Picasso was an indifferent father, a womanizer, and a millionaire. Truman was utterly devoted to his family. How did they come to be shaking hands in front of Picasso’s studio in the south of France?

Михаил Александрович Врубель - русский художник рубежа XIX–XX веков, работавший практически во всех видах и жанрах изобразительного искусства.

Духовную индивидуальность Врубеля можно сравнить с великими поэтами первой половины XIX века. Все его произведения полны совершенного строя и проходя через призму взгляда художника неожиданно принимают волшебную окраску.
