Rote Haare, scharfer Verstand, Wagemut, Witz und Selbstbewusstsein - Regina Ziegler ist unverwechselbar. Seit über 40 Jahren schreibt sie Filmgeschichte und scheut weder Widerstände noch Kritik in einer von Männern dominierten Branche. Aufgeben? Niemals. Immer wieder ist die Grande Dame des Deutschen Films aufs Ganze gegangen, hat mit den bedeutendsten Regisseuren gearbeitet, Schauspieler zu Stars gemacht, weltweit Auszeichnungen erhalten und die deutsche Kulturlandschaft geprägt.

Remington’s name remains recognizable today, and his work continues to impress viewers more than a century after he was active. From the bronze statuettes of anonymous Western heroes in crisis to large-scale actions set against vast backdrops, his works found their form through mythology and by "merging his experiences and memories." Both commercially and nostalgia-driven, the dualistic personality of Frederic Remington as a person is at times a problem for modern sensibilities.

Many of the first artists in the West were assigned to exploration and geological parties, working as archivists and obedient to demands of cold accuracy. However, a few were driven by an imaginative mix of real events and fantastical visions to whet the appetite of Eastern consumers and preserve their own nostalgia on canvas. Among the most prominent artists depicting the "old" West was Charles Marion Russell, a prolific painter, sculptor, writer, and storyteller based in the heart of the Montana country.

B. Artin Haig survived the Armenian Genocide and went on for a time to become President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's photographer and one of the world's greatest.

Realmente como dicen Leonardo da Vinci era tal clase de genio que siendo solamente un aprendiz fue capaz de superar a su maestro el gran Verroquio? Qué influencia tuvo la pintura de Francisco de Goya la muerte de sus cuatro hijos? El famoso cuadro “Campos de trigo” de Vincent van Gogh se convirtió realmente en un símbolo para el pintor de su terrible delirio?

Muchos lo dicen, pero nadie se lo cree. ¿sería posible que Salvador Dalí fue la reencarnación del propio Van Gogh? ¿Cuánto le ayudaron a Gauguin para conseguir la originalidad de sus pinturas, las jovencitas de Tahití?

The year is 1957. Four-year-old Paul Ecke sits timidly at a foreign kitchen table, eating the first inferior meal of many in a foster home. Longing for his beloved mother, he sees her only on short weekend visits that grow more infrequent over time, as she tries unsuccessfully to hide a nervous breakdown along with yet another growing pregnancy. Despite - or perhaps because of - the emotional angst, complicated sexual identity issues, and deep loss he experiences, Paul cultivates a profound gift of creative genius.

Lucelle Raad is an artist whose original paintings and prints decorate countless walls of homes in the United States and Europe, as well as in other locations throughout the world. The majority of her subjects are children, as well they should be, for children are the most innocent, unassuming people there are to paint. She wasn’t always an artist, however. In fact, she never intended to be anything but a happy, well-adjusted adult - the goal of all children, whether they realize it or not. How she came to be an artist is quite another story altogether.

Linde wrote this book to help others besides herself. Being an abstract artist dealing with neurosis, searching for fame and fortune was her claim to success. Travel through Linde's childhood in Germany during the Second World War to get a view of the obstacles she endured. This is a heart wrenching story of a woman artist in a man's world.

Les Goolrick étaient des princes. Et tout le monde voulait leur ressembler. C'étaient les années 50, les femmes se faisaient des coiffures sophistiquées, elles portaient des robes de taffetas ou de soie, des gants et des chapeaux, et elles avaient de l'esprit. Les hommes préparaient des cocktails, des Gimlet, des Manhattan, des Gibson, des Singapore Sling, c'était la seule chose qu'ils prenaient au sérieux. Dans cette petite ville de Virginie, on avait vraiment de la classe, d'ailleurs on trouvait son style en lisant le New Yorker.

The problem is that nobody pictures a beastly memoir about Malibu. Everyone wants to live in Malibu, but I found that people often wouldn’t stay there for long. Friends would suddenly leave without a goodbye, and it was as if the wind had blown them away. Sometimes, the ocean gales were almost strong enough to sweep people off their feet. High costs of living and eccentric movie personalities added to the sense of instability.
