The name Giotto di Bondone may not be as well-known as Leonardo da Vinci, but it was Giotto who made da Vinci and his contemporaries of the Renaissance possible. Giotto, born in the late 13th century, was the first painter to escape the artistic chains of the Dark Ages and revive the natural art of Ancient Greece. Instead of creating flat, expressionless figures, as was the custom of the Middle Ages, Giotto painted characters with personalities and emotions.

Неумолимое время оставляет позади, в прошлом, не только исторические события и явления, но и рукотворную историю человечества - предметы и вещи. В небытие ушли целые цивилизации, много еще сокрыто в земле затерянных городов, погребенных святилищ, исчезнувших крепостей.

Art is a distinct entity. It has its own characteristic, its own function, its own role to play in society. It must be afforded the status and identity it rightly deserves in a world that is becoming ever more needful of its existence. “Art”, however, has increasingly become a catch-all term. Intended primarily for artists of all colours and flavours, as well as art appreciators, this audiobook aims to free up the thinking of the artist – or indeed anyone – by opening their eyes to many unexamined assumptions, and thereby questioning the validity of strongly-held views.

We live in an age of the mobile image. This recent kinetic revolution of the image has enormous consequences not only for the way we think about contemporary art and aesthetics but also for art history as well. Responding to this historical moment, Theory of the Image offers a fresh new theory and history of art from the perspective of this epoch-defining mobility. The image has been understood in many ways, but it is rarely understood to be fundamentally in motion.

Piero della Francesca di Bernard Berenson è un'opera irriverente e rivoluzionaria, un testo cardinale della critica d'arte novecentesca. Berenson insegue la bellezza nascosta e silenziosa a partire dall'arte classica, attraverso le luminose prove medievali, fino alle soglie della modernità di Cézanne, Degas e van Gogh. Perché l'arte è senza tempo, come eterno e sempre nuovo è lo stupore che suscita in noi. Introduzione di Vittorio Sgarbi.

La mattina del 10 ottobre 1517 il cardinale Luigi d'Aragona e il suo segretario Antonio de Beatis salirono su una collina sulle rive della Loira verso il castello di Cloux. Non andavano a rendere omaggio a un membro della famiglia reale ma a un principe dell'arte, e per di più italiano. In quella giornata, Leonardo mostra al cardinale e al suo seguito tre quadri ai quali stava lavorando e che saranno gli ultimi che dipingerà prima di morire: la Sant'Anna, il San Giovannino e la Gioconda.

"Il dipinto era steso su un ampio tavolo coperto da carta velina. Presentava l'aspetto comune a molti dipinti antichi realizzati con una tecnica eccellente. Le vernici ingiallite offuscavano i colori e le forme. Ma lasciavano trapelare intatta la forza della pittura di Michelangelo." Antonio Forcellino, tra i massimi conoscitori dell'opera del maestro fiorentino, è abituato a ricevere decine di richieste di expertise, la maggior parte improbabili. Tra queste c'è anche quella di un americano che gli manda per email la fotografia del disegno preparatorio di una tavola in suo possesso.

This is the story of the "Benin Bronzes", their creation, theft, and what should happen to them now. When first exhibited in London, they caused a sensation and helped reshape European attitudes towards Africa, challenging the prevailing view of the continent as "backward" and without culture. But seeing them in the British Museum today is, in the words of one Benin City artist, like "visiting relatives behind bars". In a time of fevered debate about the legacies of empire, loot, museums, and history, what does the future hold for the Bronzes themselves?

The fascinating and little-known story of the Louvre, from its inception as a humble fortress to its transformation into the palatial residence of the kings of France and then into the world's greatest art museum.

In the age of Trump and Brexit, every crisis is instantly overridden by the next. The turbulent political weather of the 21st century generates anxiety and makes it difficult to know how to react. Laing makes an inspiring case for why art matters more than ever, as a force of both resistance and repair. Art, she argues, changes how we see the world. It gives us X-ray vision. It reveals inequalities and offers fertile new ways of living. Funny Weather brings together a career's worth of Laing's writing about art and culture, and their role in our political and emotional lives.

Kyle Chayka is one of our sharpest cultural observers. After spending years covering minimalist trends for leading publications, he now delves beneath this lifestyle’s glossy surface, seeking better ways to claim the time and space we crave. He shows that our longing for less goes back further than we realize. His search leads him to the philosophical and spiritual origins of minimalism and to the stories of artists such as Agnes Martin and Donald Judd; composers such as John Cage and Julius Eastman; architects and designers; visionaries and misfits.
