Aveva dedicato la sua splendida vita a un degno compito, a una giusta causa persa". Questo audiolibro racconta la vita di questa ragazza ribelle, l'amore con Robert Capa, l'avventura di fotografare e la gioia di vivere nella Parigi degli anni Trenta.

Kaffe Fassett has led an extraordinary life and is a captivating storyteller with a vivid memory. Born in 1937, he spent much of his youth in Big Sur, California, where his parents bought a cabin from Orson Welles and transformed it into the world-famous Nepenthe restaurant, a gathering place for artists and bohemians. After attending a boarding school run by the disciples of Krishnamurti, an Indian guru, he studied painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, then traveled to England, where he made his home.

In 1529, Michelangelo was in Venice when he first met Titian, Venice's famed painter of princes, gods, and goddesses. Coming face-to-face with Titian's drama-infused, richly colored works, the creator of David and the Sistine Chapel ceiling realized he had met a worthy opponent. Twenty-five years later, Titian came to Rome to paint the pope, and the two met again. Painting in the Vatican, Titian experienced the full power of Michelangelo's work and vowed to surpass the achievements of his older contemporary.

Joe Tucker's Uncle Eric was a beloved yet unconventional figure throughout Joe's life. A shambolically dressed man who lived with his mother for almost eighty years, he had an almost compulsive need to charm strangers with working men's club comedy routines, and appeared to exist only for daily trips to the bookie - and yet had also amassed over five hundred of his own remarkable paintings without anyone ever realising his achievements.

Ten years ago, an FBI investigation was about to expose a scandal in the art world that would have been front-page news in New York and London. After a trail of fake paintings of astonishing quality led federal agents to art dealers, experts, and major auction houses, the investigation inexplicably ended, despite an abundance of evidence. The case was closed and the FBI file was marked “exempt from public disclosure”. Now that the statute of limitations on these crimes has expired and the case appears hermetically sealed shut by the FBI, this audiobook, Caveat Emptor, is that artist, Ken Perenyi’s, confession.

De Chirico fu forse l'artista più controverso del secolo scorso, ma il suo percorso personale appare oggi di una coerenza inflessibile. Inventore delle avanguardie a Parigi nei primissimi anni Dieci, agli attacchi dei suoi contemporanei rispose con un'autonomia intellettuale orgogliosa e rabbiosa, che lo rese un outsider del mondo dell'arte. Questa monografia, rigorosa e lucida, ci restituisce un ritratto chiaro, agile ed essenziale dell'arte di de Chirico, e si presenta come il contributo fondamentale alla comprensione della sua opera.

I show how THE MIGHTY LIGHTHOUSE was not just a coincidental favorite interest of mine but was divinely placed in my life as a blessing that would ultimately be used to serve as a major part of my ministry.
