Poor Artists follows aspiring artist Quest Talukdar as she embarks on a surreal journey into the creative industry, where she must decide whether she cares more about success or staying true to herself. Featuring dialogue from anonymous interviews with real people who have all had to ask themselves the same question – including a Turner Prize winner or two, a recluse, a Venice Biennale fraudster, a communist messiah, a ghost, and a literal knight – The White Pube tell the story of art like never before.

A beekeeper herself, she gives insight into the activity in the hive and describes the bees' natural order and habits. She explores the myths of the past and how and when they were replaced by fact. For example, the heated discussions that broke out in the 18th century when it was discovered that the hive was ruled by a queen, not a king as had been the belief since Aristotle.

The Monuments Men had a mandate from President Roosevelt to find these artworks, but no vehicles, typewriters, or authority. In a race against time to save the world’s greatest cultural treasures from destruction at the hands of Nazi fanatics, each man constructed his own treasure map....

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.

In Die Geburt der Tragödie aus dem Geiste der Musik – Versuch einer Selbstkritik und philosophisches Weltbild verbindet Friedrich Nietzsche seine philosophischen Überlegungen mit der Kunsttheorie und der griechischen Tragödie. Er entwickelt die berühmten Konzepte des Apollinischen und Dionysischen als grundlegende Prinzipien der Kunst und Kultur. In seinem später verfassten „Versuch einer Selbstkritik" reflektiert Nietzsche seine frühen Gedanken kritisch und zeigt die Entwicklung seines 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.

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.

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.
