Story0
In the spring of 1790 two of the most gifted artists in Europe met in Rome and became fast friends, sharing their views on art, visiting the city’s ancient sites and making trips to the opera together. The Swiss history painter Angelica Kauffman and the French portraitist Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun are no longer household names in the early twenty-first century but were much-fêted celebrities in the late eighteenth. Franny Moyle uses their meeting in the eternal city as the point of departure for a lavishly illustrated 'life and times’ biography of two brilliant but neglected women artists.

Wooed away from a top job at a competing firm by Ed Roth with promises of breaking the glass ceiling when she succeeds him as the head of the investment bank Drake Carlson, Kate learns that she has real potential for the top spot. First, she must prove her worth by unconventionally putting together an IPO for a small games maker whose most valuable but unknown asset may be a painting stolen from a Jewish family as they fled Austria after the Nazi invasion. Kate’s professional challenges play out amid a family crisis: Her husband’s company is imploding and he may have to relocate to a remote part of China to save even a small portion of his business.

Glamorous international art-dealer Elizabeth Teerlinc knows a thing or two about fakes. After all, she is one herself. Her real identity, Judith Rashleigh, is buried under a layer of lies. Not to mention the corpses of the men foolish enough to get in her way. But now, caught in the murderous crossfire between a Russian Mafia boss and a corrupt Italian police detective, Judith is forced to create an even more daring work of art - a fake masterpiece she must take to the world-famous auction house where she used to be a lowly assistant and sell for $150 million.

Story0
When Trisha Low moves West, her journey is motivated by the need to arrive “somewhere better” - someplace utopian, like revolution; or safe, like home; or even clarifying, like identity. Instead, she faces the end of her relationships, a family whose values she has difficulty sharing, and America’s casual racism, sexism, and homophobia. In this book-length essay, the problem of how to account for one’s life comes to the fore - sliding unpredictably between memory, speculation, self-criticism, and art criticism, Low seeks answers that she knows she won’t find.

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.

"Rebel Artists" ist ein Buch über 15 Frauen aus aller Welt, die sich als Künstlerinnen Respekt verschafften. Sie mussten gegen Vorurteile und für ihre Rechte kämpfen. Aber sie ließen sich durch nichts und niemanden von ihrer Kunst abbringen. Frida Kahlo kennen alle als starke, mutige Malerin. Doch auch viele weitere Frauen verdienen Beachtung: Emily Kame Kngwarreye, die erst mit 80 Jahren anfing, unermüdlich zu malen, um dann mit über 3000 Bildern zur berühmtesten Aborigines-Künstlerin zu werden.

Intorno alla metà del XX secolo, l'arte cambiò la sua direzione: abbandonò le sponde dell'arte colta figurativa in favore di un avvicinamento alla cultura popolare. Da questo avvicinamento nasce la "Pop Art", abbreviazione di "popular art", i cui esponenti e rappresentanti sono fotografi, pittori, musicisti, scultori, registi, personalità eccentriche. Sono tutti uomini e donne visionari dotati di un particolare senso artistico che molti non avrebbero esitato a definire "bizzarro".
