The second half of William Feaver's Baillie Gifford Prize-shortlisted work of biography: the definitive story of the epic life of one of the 20th century's most important artists. William Feaver, Lucian Freud’s collaborator, curator and close friend, knew the unknowable artist better than most. Over many years, Freud narrated to him the story of his life, ‘our novel’. Fame follows Freud at the height of his powers, painting the most iconic works of his career in a constant and dissatisfied pursuit of perfection, just outrunning his gambling debts and tailor’s bills.

Jan van Eyck's Ghent Altarpiece is on any art historian's list of the 10 most important paintings ever made. Often referred to by the subject of its central panel, the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, it represents the fulcrum between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. It is also the most frequently stolen artwork of all time.

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.

Story0
While the Civil War raged in America, another very different revolution was beginning to take shape across the Atlantic, in the studios of Paris. The artists who would make Impressionism the most popular art form in history were showing their first paintings amid scorn and derision from the French artistic establishment. Indeed, no artistic movement has ever been, at its inception, quite so controversial.

Un breve, delicioso e imprescindible tratado lleno de sugerentes ideas para comprender qué es el arte, qué utilidad puede tener para nosotros, cómo creamos, cómo el arte abre mundos y cómo puede transformarnos para imaginar un futuro diferente. Podríamos decir que el arte es uno de los principales atributos del ser humano, como el lenguaje. Es fácil entender por qué el lenguaje es universal, pero no parece ser tan sencillo imaginar que el arte también lo es. El arte es una forma de hacer que los sentimientos sucedan.

Story0
The Post-Impressionist artist and writer Paul Gauguin led an extraordinary, troubled and restlessly itinerant life; he came late to painting and spent most of his last decade in the Pacific islands of Tahiti and the Marquesas, where he produced paintings loosely based on Polynesian tradition that heralded the emergence of primitivism and would exert a profound influence on modernist artists from Picasso and Matisse to Jackson Pollock. But his art, despite its growing popularity following Gauguin’s death in 1903, has provoked mixed responses.

Einer der bekanntesten Surrealisten ließ sich bei seinen fließenden Uhren von französischem Weichkäse inspirieren, der Schöpfer des ›Schrei‹, Edvard Munch, verteilte auf den meisten seiner Werke Vogelscheiße, Martin Kippenberger hat in den 1980er-Jahren ein Bild von Gerhard Richter als Tischplatte in seiner eigenen Skulptur verarbeitet.

Судьба русского историка искусства и литературы Виктора Александровича Никольского (1875–1934) была непростой. Искусствовед погружался в древнерусский декоративный мир, живопись В.И. Сурикова, творчество П.П. Кончаловского и А.В. Куприна. Двухтомный труд В.А. Никольского о русском искусстве планировали издать в одной из лучших типографий И.Д. Сытина в 1915 году. Но если автор и сумел закончить свою рукопись, когда пожар Первой мировой войны уже разгорался по всему миру, русские издатели не смогли ее выпустить в полном объеме.

Karl Kraus gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Aphoristiker deutscher Sprache. Ob berühmte Schriftsteller oder die Presse - nichts und niemand wurde von der gnadenlosen Kritik seiner Feder verschont. Bekannte Künstler wie Stefan Zweig, Georg Trakl, Thomas Mann und andere zollten ihm Respekt, aber die Zahl seiner Feinde in Kunst und Gesellschaft war enorm. Als Vorleser hinterließ er aufgrund seiner Sprachgewalt und Persönlichkeit angeblich einen äußerst außergewöhnlichen Eindruck.

In 1495, Leonardo da Vinci began what would become one of history’s most influential works of art—The Last Supper. After a decade at the court of Lodovico Sforza, the duke of Milan, Leonardo was at a low point: at forty-three, he had failed, despite a number of prestigious commissions, to complete anything that truly fulfilled his astonishing promise. His latest failure was a giant bronze horse to honor Sforza’s father, made with material expropriated by the military.
