Story
Ascolta e scopri il capolavoro della più famosa pittrice messicana! Nel mondo dell'arte, Frida Kahlo è una delle donne più famose, insieme a pochi altri nomi noti come Tamara de Lempicka, Artemisia Gentileschi ed Elisabetta Sirani. Simbolo per eccellenza del suo Paese, il Messico, e della condizione sociale della donna nella metà del secolo scorso, Kahlo visse una vita breve ma molto intensa, tra incredibili sofferenze fisiche, un matrimonio con Diego Rivera che le portò tante gioie quanti dolori e una carriera altalenante.

Story
"Le Muse inquietanti" è uno dei più noti e importanti lavori di Giorgio De Chirico, pittore metafisico che operò agli inizi del Novecento, famoso per le sue vaste piazze deserte dai colori accesi e per i misteriosi manichini che le abitano. De Chirico è, insieme a Carlo Carrà, il fondatore del "genere" metafisico, che indica una pittura di evocazione letteraria e di suggestione figurativa, un trattamento magico e scenografico che fu il prototipo per il surrealismo francese di qualche anno più tardi.

Story
È la fine del settembre 1545 quando Tiziano arriva a Roma. La lascerà un anno più tardi, e per allora la città non sarà più la stessa e anche il Rinascimento avrà perso il suo splendore. Ma per il momento, la Roma di cui racconta Antonio Forcellino è davvero la Città Eterna: misteriosa, avvolgente e sospesa nel tempo, luogo nevralgico di potere, di gelosie private e di pubblici intrighi. La percorrono personaggi formidabili: ambigui uomini di Chiesa come monsignor Della Casa, splendidi mecenati come Paolo III, donne dalla bellezza leggendaria come Giulia Farnese.

Story
Как известно, жизнь каждого яркого дарования делится обычно на три периода. Сначала его осыпают насмешками и бранью, всячески угнетают и преследуют. Потом открывается счастливое время признания, за которым следуют дни восторженного поклонения. Наконец, так же неминуемо наступает охлаждение, сопровождающееся нередко резкими выпадами по адресу недавнего любимца и властителя дум. Этой трафаретной схемы избежали немногие даровитые люди, и единственный вариант, вносимый в нее жизнью, сводится к тому, что одни умирают в расцвете славы, а другим суждено ее пережить, изведать к концу жизни всю горечь забвения.

Story
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.

Story
L'impressionnisme (Manet, Pissaro, Monet, Renoir etc.) a d'abord été synonyme de scandale même s'il est aujourd'hui universellement admiré. Ses instigateurs sont d'emblée tenus à l'écart du salon officiel, le jury rejetant à la fois une facture non académique et une trop grande modernité des sujets. Indépendants, les impressionnistes révolutionnent les règles traditionnelles de la peinture. Ils s'intéressent aux phénomènes éphémères et aux transformations du paysage.

Van Gogh era davvero un pittore reietto, un rifiuto della società? Com'è possibile che un artista capace di raggiungere oggi quotazioni da record, durante la vita non sia mai riuscito a trovare estimatori e collezionisti che acquistassero i suoi dipinti? Per rispondere a queste domande, Costantino D'Orazio ha compiuto un'indagine che ci dà un punto di vista rivoluzionario su uno dei grandi protagonisti della storia dell'arte moderna.

Story
Artemisia Gentileschi, già tredicenne ricalcava Dürer, senza vergogna denunciò il pittore Agostino Tassi perché colpevole di averla violentata. Antigone sfidò la legge degli uomini per seppellire il fratello Polinice, accusato di tradimento. Constance Quéniaux, ballerina all'Opéra di Parigi, offrì a Courbet il suo dettaglio più intimo perché dipingesse "L'origine del mondo". La regina Nefertiti, "la Bella che qui viene", incendiò il desiderio del capo scultore di corte, che la consacrò, per quanto imperfetta, nella scultura più seducente che la storia ricordi.

Perché i quadri dipinti da uno scimpanzé sono stati quotati più di tante opere di artisti famosi? Perché un orinatoio è divenuto l'emblema dell'arte del Novecento? E perché tanti artisti d'oggi operano con i paradossi della logica, più che con i pennelli? Mentre la riproduzione di una zuppa Campbell ha un enorme valore nel mercato artistico se è opera di Andy Warhol, è considerata un sintomo di disordine mentale se l'autore è internato in un manicomio svizzero.

Che cosa hanno in comune Galla Placidia e Adriano Olivetti? La risposta è semplice: la passione per la bellezza, intesa non come effimero piacere estetico, quanto come un desiderio di meraviglia, alimentato dalla consapevolezza che attraverso l'arte si può migliorare il mondo e lasciare un segno duraturo nella storia. Come Isabella D'Este, Federico II di Svevia, Cosimo de' Medici, Alvise Pisani, Pio IV e molti altri, hanno "combattuto" per il trionfo dell'arte, aiutato e ispirato i creatori di opere immortali e finanziato progetti grandiosi sebbene, a volte, velleitari.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
