In „Tiepolo Blau“ von James Cahill wird der Kunsthistoriker Don Lamb, der nach einer Zurückweisung die Liebe aufgegeben hat, aus seiner asketischen Professorenexistenz in Cambridge gerissen. Ein empörendes Kunstwerk führt ihn zur Leitung eines Londoner Museums und zu einer neuen, verwirrenden Beziehung zu dem jungen Künstler Ben, die sein Leben grundlegend verändert.
Piet Mondrian oder Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst oder Banksy, wer hatte den größten Einfluss? Wer hat am meisten schockiert? Wer hat das teuerste Kunstwerk geschaffen? Wer ist der Vielseitigste, und wer hatte die beste Presse? Mit dem Kunst-Spiel lassen wir die Asse der Kunstwelt gegeneinander antreten, um herauszufinden, wer die Kunstwelt regiert.
This critical history examines the work of zoological and science film pioneers Jean Painlevae and Geneviaeve Hamon from 1924-1949, illuminating the significant contributions that their wildlife cinema made to philosophical and political thought--
David Hockney is the most famous living British artist. And he is arguably one of the more famous American artists as well. Emerging from the north of England in the 1960s, he made quite a splash in Swinging London as a portaitist, and went on to make a even bigger splash in Los Angeles when he moved there in the 1970s. His figurative paintings of the 1970s and 1980s captured the zeitgeist of West Coast living, while he also explored new avenues by constructing mosaics out of polaroids. By the beginning of the millennium, he returned to his Yorkshire roots, embarking on a new period of painting. This came to an end with the death by misadventure in his home of a young studio assistant in 2013. He went 'home' to LA and has in the intervening years begun a new period of contemplative portraiture.
