Story0
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".

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.

Today it is widely recognized that gay men played a prominent role in defining the culture of mid-20th-century America, with such icons as Tennessee Williams, Edward Albee, Aaron Copland, Samuel Barber, Montgomery Clift, and Rock Hudson defining much of what seemed distinctly "American" on the stage and screen. Even though few gay artists were "out," their sexuality caused significant anxiety during a time of rampant anti-homosexual attitudes.

Most puzzling of all: How can this mystery ever be solved, with all the evidence long since melted?

"L'impero delle luci" è uno dei più noti e importanti lavori di Giorgio De Chirico, pittore surrealista belga che operò agli inizi del Novecento, famoso per i suoi uomini con le bombette, la mela che prende il posto della testa e la pipa che non è una pipa. La sua pittura è intrisa di mistero, illusione, trabocchetti e realtà distorte che sono i tratti distintivi del primo surrealismo.

The Rape of Europa is one of Titian's great masterpieces, a work charged with eroticism and classical mystique behind which lies a tale as compelling as the painting itself. Here Charles FitzRoy weaves a unique account of its history and the painting's movement following the rise and fall of the countries in which it has been housed. This is the tale of how Titian's masterpiece has captivated kings, nobles, artists, and lovers alike for over four centuries since its conception and continues to do so today.

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.
