Picasso’s work is famous. His art is intricate, yet bizarre. His personal life was filled with struggles, and his children weren’t any better off, creating substance abuse and suicidal headlines. Despite the dysfunctionality in his personal and family life, his artwork reflected something new and fresh. And in a variety of paintings, an underlying rebel message against totalitarian regimes. Having lived through many horrors of the Spanish war, as well as other 20th-century conflicts, the painter showed both style and morale in his works, and left a legacy studied by the masses.

Rapidi, pastosi, materici come le pennellate di un pittore informale, i capitoli che compongono questa autobiografia, attraversano il Novecento più colto e avventuroso. Fra una risata irriverente e qualche nostalgia, Ezio Frigerio ricorda la sua lunga esistenza con una sorprendente lucidità sentimentale. Nato da famiglia benestante comasca durante il fascismo, l’autore non esita a sorridere malignamente della buona borghesia locale.

Имя и творчество великого художника-баталиста Василия Васильевича Верещагина без преувеличения известны всем. Его знаменитые картины «Апофеоз войны», «Смертельно раненый», «У крепостной стены» впервые показали широкой публике не триумф победителей, а боль, ужас и величайшую трагедию войны. И если про историю создания этих и других живописных шедевров мастера мы знаем очень многое, то про личную жизнь художника известно гораздо меньше. В аудиокниге «Воспоминания сына художника» мы сможем познакомиться и с этой, закрытой от многих стороной жизни Василия Верещагина.

Denominado en la historia del arte como "el primer moderno", fue un notable escultor francés contemporáneo a la corriente Impresionista.
