Description
Secluded within cloister walls, a painter and a monk, and brother of the order of the Dominicans, Angelico devoted his life to religious paintings. Little is known of his early life except that he was born at Vicchio, in the broad fertile valley of the Mugello, not far from Florence, that his name was Guido de Pietro, and that he passed his youth in Florence, probably in some bottegha, for at twenty he was recognized as a painter. In 1418, he entered...

Munch gilt als Bahnbrecher für die expressionistische Richtung in der Malerei der Moderne. In Deutschland und Mitteleuropa genoss er früh den Ruf eines Epoche machenden Neuschöpfers, und heute sind seine Eigenart und sein Status schon längst im übrigen Europa und in der Welt anerkannt....

Description
Miraculum Monstrum is an epic hybrid narrative about Tristia Vogel, a female artist who experiences a radical physical transformation, beginning with the excrescence of apparent wings. Though she is possibly an anomalous mutation resulting from worldwide ecological upheaval, the bird/woman is co-opted by a religious cult that claims to have prophesied her experience; she is thus written as the central figure of their scriptural text. The fragmentary...

Fra Angelico (Fra Giovanni da Fiesole) (Vicchio di Mugello, 1387 – Rome, 1455)Isolé du monde par les murs d'un cloître, ce moine peintre, appartenant à l'ordre des dominicains, voua son existence à la peinture religieuse. On sait très peu de choses sur le début de sa vie, mis à part qu'il était né à Vicchio, dans la vaste et fertile vallée du Mugello, non loin de Florence, que son nom était Guido di Pietro, et qu'il passa sa jeunesse...

"I am not interested in myself as a subject for painting, but in others, particularly women…"Beautiful, sensuous and above all erotic, Gustav Klimt's paintings speak of a world of opulence and leisure, which seems aeons away from the harsh, post-modern environment we live in now. The subjects he treats – allegories, portraits, landscapes and erotic figures – contain virtually no reference to external events, but strive rather to create a world...

Description
Ornans, Courbet's birthplace, is near the beautiful valley of the Doubs River, and it was here as a boy, and later as a man, that he absorbed the love of landscape. He was by nature a revolutionary, a man born to oppose existing order and to assert his independence; he had that quality of bluster and brutality which makes the revolutionary count in art as well as in politics. In both directions, his spirit of revolt manifested itself. He went to Paris...

Hidden behind the portraits of Frida Kahlo is the remarkable story of the artist's life. It is precisely this combination that attracts the spectator. Frida's work is a testimony of her life; it is not often that one can understand an artist simply by looking within the frame of their paintings. Frida Kahlo is without any doubt Mexico's gift to art history. She was just eighteen when a terrible accident changed her life forever, leaving her disabled...

Encore aujourd'hui considéré comme un bad boy, Pascin était un artiste brillant qui vécut dans l'ombre de contemporains tels que Picasso, Modigliani et tant d'autres. Spécialiste du corps féminin, ses toiles sont aussi tourmentées que l'était son style de vie composé de fêtes et de sorties. L'artiste, scandaleux pour le caractère érotique de ses œuvres, exposa dans de nombreux salons notamment à Berlin, Paris et New York.

Hermosas, sensuales y, sobre todo, eróticas, las pinturas de Gustav Klimt hablan de un mundo de opulencia y placer que parece estar a miles de años luz de distancia del rudo entorno posmoderno en el que vivimos ahora.

Today still considered a "Bad Boy", Pascin was a brilliant artist who lived and worked in the shadow of contemporaries such as Picasso, Modigliani, and several others. A specialist of the feminine form, his canvasses are as tormented as his party lifestyle. The artist, considered scandalous for the erotic character of his works, exhibited in numerous Salons, notably in Berlin, Paris, and New York.
