The perception of the muse is that of a passive, powerless model, at the mercy of an influential and older artist. But is this trope a romanticised myth? Far from posing silently, muses have brought emotional support, intellectual energy, career-changing creativity and practical help to artists. Muse tells the true stories of the incredible muses who have inspired art history's masterpieces. From Leonardo da Vinci's studio to the covers of Vogue, Ruth Millington uncovers the remarkable role of muses in some of art history's most well-known and significant works.

In this revolutionary book, Joan Breton Connelly challenges our most basic assumptions about the Parthenon and the ancient Athenians. Beginning with the natural environment and its rich mythic associations, she re-creates the development of the Acropolis - the Sacred Rock at the heart of the city-state - from its prehistoric origins to its Periklean glory days as a constellation of temples among which the Parthenon stood supreme.

Virtually everyone would agree that Leonardo da Vinci was the most important artist of the High Renaissance. It was Leonardo who singlehandedly created the defining features of Western art: a realism based on subtle shading; depth using atmospheric effects; and dramatic contrasts between light and dark.

With outrageous anecdotes about everyone from Leonardo Da Vinci to Caravaggio to Edward Hopper, Secret Lives of Great Artists recounts the seamy, steamy, and gritty history behind the great masters of international art. You'll learn that Michelangelo's body odor was so bad, his assistants couldn't stand working for him; that Vincent van Gogh sometimes ate paint directly from the tube; and Georgia O'Keeffe loved to paint in the nude. This is one art history lesson you'll never forget!

Der Essay analysiert Goethes gleichnamigen Roman aus philosophischer und ästhetischer Perspektive – ein Werk, das sowohl das Verhältnis von Naturgesetzen als auch das der Menschen zueinander auf eine neue Ebene hebt. Benjamin legt die verborgenen Spannungen in Goethes Werk offen: zwischen Gefühl und Gesetz, Liebe und Ordnung, Natur und Moral. Seine Interpretation gilt bis heute als bahnbrechender Beitrag zur literaturwissenschaftlichen Moderne und als früher Beleg seines kritischen Denkens.

Em um momento no qual conceitos como “Colonialidade”, “Descolonialidade”, “Decoloniedade” e “Contracolonialidade” estão na ordem do dia, Olivier Marboeuf, em Fugas Decoloniais, foge de explicações estereotipadas e lugares-comuns acadêmicos. Com uma análise arguta e inteligente, pautada em sólidas referências, o autor apresenta, através de “lições” e “conversas”, como as estratégias da cultura e da economia neoliberal se esforçam por manter as estruturas das esferas coloniais.
