Padre del cubismo, insieme a Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso è stato uno dei protagonisti indiscussi della storia del Novecento. Con le sue sperimentazioni sulla scomposizione e rappresentazione della realtà da molteplici punti di vista, ha rivoluzionato l’arte moderna, ispirando le avanguardie d’inizio secolo. Militante comunista ed eroe pacifista, denunciò le atrocità del fascismo e la follia della guerra in quello che è universalmente riconosciuto come il suo struggente capolavoro: Guernica. Vizi Editore presenta la vita dei grandi artisti, raccontata con musiche e suoni.

Was hat Dalí vom Camembert gelernt? Lustig, leidenschaftlich, lehrreich – ein Blick hinter die Kulissen, der Kunstnerds wie Kunstbanausen gleichermaßen begeistert. 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.

Art is a distinct entity. It has its own characteristic, its own function, its own role to play in society. It must be afforded the status and identity it rightly deserves in a world that is becoming ever more needful of its existence. “Art”, however, has increasingly become a catch-all term. Intended primarily for artists of all colours and flavours, as well as art appreciators, this audiobook aims to free up the thinking of the artist – or indeed anyone – by opening their eyes to many unexamined assumptions, and thereby questioning the validity of strongly-held views.

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.

"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.
