Harvey Kurtzman created Mad, and Mad revolutionized humor in America. Kurtzman was the original editor, artist, and sole writer of Mad, one of the greatest publishing successes of the twentieth century. But how did Kurtzman invent Mad, and why did he leave it shortly after it burst, nova-like, onto the American scene? For this heavily researched biography, Bill Schelly conducted new interviews with Kurtzman’s colleagues, friends, and family, including Hugh Hefner, R. Crumb, Jack Davis, and many others, and examined Kurtzman’s personal archives.

La storia dell'arte può essere raccontata da tanti punti di vista: attraverso le tecniche, i movimenti, le committenze, i linguaggi o gli stili. Questo audiolibro sceglie un'altra strada. Ci invita a compiere un viaggio nel tempo, dall'antichità ad oggi, per scoprire come gli artisti hanno rappresentato le emozioni, quelle che si annidano nei nostri stati d'animo più ineffabili e affascinanti.

El itinerario de Sergio Rodríguez Blanco nos recuerda a las mejores páginas de sus dos modelos del viajero intelectual: José Vasconcelos y Sergio Pitol. El autor nació en España, pero desde hace años habita en México en un mundo fluido: sale a caminar por el centro de la Ciudad de México y de pronto lo acompañamos a una lección de arte contemporáneo en la bienal de Venecia. Desentraña el misterio de una película que Federico Fellini jamás rodó y páginas después, Sergio comprende que volver a México es una forma más de reiniciar el viaje.

The perception of the muse is that of a passive, powerless model, at the mercy of an influential and older artist. But is this trope a romanticised myth? Far from posing silently, muses have brought emotional support, intellectual energy, career-changing creativity and practical help to artists. Muse tells the true stories of the incredible muses who have inspired art history's masterpieces. From Leonardo da Vinci's studio to the covers of Vogue, Ruth Millington uncovers the remarkable role of muses in some of art history's most well-known and significant works.

Em Notre-Dame, Ken Follett reflete sobre o papel que a catedral desempenhou ao longo do tempo e revela a influência que ela exerceu tanto em outras catedrais ao redor do mundo quanto em um de seus mais conhecidos e adorados romances, Os Pilares da Terra. Ele descreve, também, as emoções que sentiu ao saber do incêndio que quase destruiu uma das maiores catedrais do mundo.

In this brief treatise, Professor Rookmaaker explores the value of art in the Kingdom of God. He asks, what is the God-given purpose of our talents? What of those talents whose only contribution is beauty? He insightfully examines the spiritual crisis in current art, the effect of a meaning vacuum on art and society as a whole. He admonishes Christian artists (and us all) to "weep, pray, think, and work" as our means of seeking the Kingdom of God, and his encouragement kindles our spirits and moves us, in our art, whatever our art, to do the truth.

Si hiciésemos una encuesta para saber cuántos pintores conocemos, la mayoría consultada mencionaría a Goya, Velázquez o Van Gogh, pero con seguridad no se hallaría a ninguna mujer en esta lista. Como si no hubiesen existido, pero no es verdad, existieron muchas y excelentes pintoras. ¿Por qué no las conocemos? Porque a lo largo de los siglos han estado escondidas en conventos en el Medievo o dedicándose a labores domésticas en el Renacimiento o el Barroco.

Since the late-1990s, the fate of Nazi stolen art has become a cause célèbre. In Belonging and Betrayal, Charles Dellheim turns this story on its head by revealing how certain Jewish outsiders came to acquire so many old and modern masterpieces in the first place—and what this reveals about Jews, art, and modernity. This audiobook tells the epic story of the fortunes and misfortunes of a small number of eminent art dealers and collectors who, against the odds, played a pivotal role in the migration of works of art from Europe to the United States and in the triumph of modern art.

This is the March 2022 magazine issue, which contains artists interviews to inspire artists, and so much more to help the artist in their art career. It contains artist interviews, art-related topics articles, and a question of the month, step of the month, and social media updates.

Este es un ensayo corto, un poco alejado de un análisis puramente psicoanalítico, que intenta interpretar la enigmática escultura de Moisés en San Pietro-Vincoli esculpida por Miguel Ángel.

Meditation teacher, filmmaker, writer, and art savant Kevin Townley turns his unique gaze upon 26 artists and magnifies the power and meaning of the five Buddhist wisdom energies through explorations of their work. Rather than trying to "explain" these energies, he reveals them to you in familiar visual language while, of course, pushing the boundaries of what you might have thought you saw at first glance. Townley leads you to, invites you in, and sometimes springs upon you, the perennial wisdom in the worlds of artists from Artemisia to Hilma af Klint to Marilyn Minter.

Keith Haring is synonymous with the downtown New York art scene of the 1980s. His artwork - with its simple, bold lines and dynamic figures in motion - filtered in to the world's consciousness and is still instantly recognizable, 20 years after his death.

A modern classic cherished by many of the greatest artists of our time, The Gift is a brilliant, life-changing defense of the value of creative labor. Drawing on examples from folklore and literature, history and tribal customs, economics and modern copyright law, Lewis Hyde demonstrates how our society - governed by the marketplace - is poorly equipped to determine the worth of artists’ work.

As people look to the arts to promote a particular ideology, whether radical, liberal, or conservative, Jed Perl argues that the arts have their own laws and logic, which transcend the controversies of any one moment. “Art’s relevance,” he writes, “has everything to do with what many regard as its irrelevance.” Authority and Freedom will find listeners from college classrooms to foundation board meetings - wherever the arts are confronting social, political, and economic ferment and heated debates about political correctness and cancel culture.

Wer durch irgendetwas auf Hermann Broch stößt, hat es bald mit Kitsch zu tun. Oder umgekehrt: wer das Phänomen Kitsch auf den Begriff bringen will, kommt an ihm nicht vorbei. Broch sagt Wesentliches zum Thema. Und er ist nicht zimperlich dabei. Seine sehr anspruchsvolle Aufklärung ist fundamental und rigoros. Wer sich darauf einlässt, hat viel gewonnen.

Starting with the Civil War and cartoonist Thomas Nast, creator of the lasting images of Uncle Sam and Santa Claus, author Jeremy Dauber whizzes listeners through the progress of comics in the 20th century and beyond. Follow the history from the golden age of newspaper comic strips - Krazy Kat, Yellow Kid, Dick Tracy - to the midcentury superhero boom - Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman - and from the moral panic of the Eisenhower era to the underground comix movement; from the grim and gritty Dark Knights to the graphic novel’s rise.

In this thought-provoking life of René Magritte (1898-1967), Alex Danchev makes a compelling case for Magritte as the single most significant purveyor of images to the modern world. Magritte’s surreal sensibility, deadpan melodrama, and fine-tuned outrageousness have become an inescapable part of our visual landscape, through such legendary works as The Treachery of Images (Ceci n’est pas une pipe), and his celebrated iterations of Man in a Bowler Hat.
