Leonardo da Vinci created the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and engineering.

Timothy O'Sullivan is America's most famous war photographer. You know his work even if you don't know his name: A Harvest of Death, taken at Gettysburg, is an icon of the Civil War. He was also among the first photographers to elevate what was then a trade to the status of fine art. The images of the American West he made after the war, while traveling with the surveys led by Clarence King and George Wheeler, display a prescient awareness of what photography would become; years later, Ansel Adams would declare his work "surrealistic and disturbing."

These biographies of the great quattrocento artists have long been considered among the most important of contemporary sources on Italian Renaissance art.

Ocho días antes de morir, Frida Kahlo cogió sus pinceles por última vez y escribió sobre la pulpa roja de la sandía: «Viva la vida. Coyoacán, 1954». Pocos meses antes, le habían amputado la pierna derecha y notaba, ahora sí, cómo sus fuerzas desaparecían para siempre, cómo la vida se alejaba de ella. Esta última naturaleza muerta no era casual, era su adiós definitivo, colorido y optimista, como era ella, a pesar de los reveses que la vida le había ido dando hasta entonces.

Life with Picasso, written with Carlton Lake, is about Picasso the artist and Picasso the man.

But Life with Picasso is not only a portrait of a great artist; it is also a picture of a talented young woman of exacting intelligence at the outset of her own notable career.
