Modigliani
In endlosen Oden an den weiblichen Körper ermalte sich Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) mit langgestreckten Körpern und Mandelaugen seinen Platz in der Kunstgeschichte. Seine aparten Frauenbildnisse, sinnlich und mit Schwanenhals, sind unverkennbar.Diese einzigartigen Figuren entsprangen dem persönlichen Schönheitsideal des Malers, der sich dabei jedoch von zahlreichen visuellen Quellen inspirieren ließ, darunter dem zeitgenössischen Kubismus, afrikanischen Holzschnitzereien, kambodschanischen Skulpturen und der italienischen Malerei des 13. Jahrhunderts. Obwohl vor allem für seine weiblichen Akte bekannt, wandte Modigliani denselben Stil auch auf Porträts männlicher Künstlerkollegen wie Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau und Chaïm Soutine an.Dieses Buch stellt einige der wichtigsten Werke Modiglianis vor und zeichnet seine kurze aber steile Karriere im Herzen der Avantgarde in Paris nach.Über die ReiheSeit der ersten Veröffentlichung im Jahre 1985 hat sich die Basic Art Series zur meistverkauften Kunstbuchreihe aller Zeiten entwickelt.

The Demon Room , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 82min
There had been two demons in Modigliani’s life. One was a fever and one was a woman. The Demon Room tells the story of the debauched and troubled artist Amedeo Modigliani through the eyes of Leo, his art dealer, friend, and rival. Consumed by the thought of his own demise, Modigliani throttles through life - and women - hoping to escape the demons that plague him. But when he stumbles into the arms of Jeanne, a young and struggling artist, his salvation might also be his undoing. From the absinthe-soaked streets of 1920s Paris to the salons of the rich and famous, with an astounding voice, The Demon Room depicts a world where obsession, lust, and art go hand in hand, and where your downfall might also be your lasting achievement.

In Montmartre: Picasso, Matisse and the Birth of Modernist Art , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 771min
A lively and deeply researched group biography of the figures who transformed the world of art in bohemian Paris in the first decade of the 20th century. In Montmartre is a colorful history of the birth of modernist art as it arose from one of the most astonishing collections of artistic talent ever assembled. It begins in October 1900, as a teenage Pablo Picasso, eager for fame and fortune, first makes his way up the hillside of Paris' famous windmill-topped district. Over the next decade, among the studios, salons, cafés, dance halls, and galleries of Montmartre, the young Spaniard joins the likes of Henri Matisse, André Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck, Georges Braque, Amedeo Modigliani, Constantin Brancusi, Gertrude Stein, and many more in revolutionizing artistic expression. Sue Roe has blended exceptional scholarship with graceful prose to write this remarkable group portrait of the men and women who profoundly changed the arts of painting, sculpture, dance, music, literature, and fashion. She describes the origins of movements like fauvism, cubism, and futurism and reconstructs the stories behind immortal paintings by Picasso and Matisse. Relating the colorful lives and complicated relationships of this dramatic bohemian scene, Roe illuminates the excitement of the moment when these bold experiments in artistic representation and performance began to take shape. A thrilling account, In Montmartre captures an extraordinary group on the cusp of fame and immortality. Through their stories, Roe brings to life one of the key moments in the history of art. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Emma Bering.

El Expediente Anna Ajmátova / The Anna Akhmatova File
«Aunque en mi nombre hay agua purificadora, en mis manos y en mi boca todo quema.» Anna Ajmátova Para Anna, encontrar su voz fue la única manera posible de estar en el mundo. Nunca imaginó los efectos de su poesía sutil y afilada en tantas personas distintas. Ésta es la historia del torbellino de pasiones que desencadenó en cada una. Desde la envidia del hombre más poderoso y vengativo de su época hasta la atormentada admiración de la mujer encargada de vigilarla y delatarla. Desde la ciudad de San Petersburgo previa a la Revolución, como en un teatro de asombros, nos volvemos testigos de su relación compleja con los creadores de su tiempo y, sobre todo, con el poeta más reconocido de su generación, Nicolai Gumilyov, su primer esposo, asesinado en 1921, en uno de los primeros procesos masivos de inocentes planeados por Lenin y que se volverían recurrentes en los años del terror estalinista. Una década antes, ella misma nos cuenta su intensa y breve historia de amor, en París, con Amedeo Modigliani. Novela collage, novela documental, expediente de hechos y rumores escritos con una poesía retenida en pequeñas hojas de corteza de abedul, como se hacía en el gulag. Una novela sobre el poder de las palabras. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Although in my name there is purifying water, in my hands and in my mouth everything burns. " Anna Akhmatova For Anna, finding her voice was the only possible way to be in the world. She never imagined the effects her sharp and subtle poetry would have on many different people. This is the story of the whirlwind of passions that it unleashed in each one. From the envy of the most powerful and vengeful man of her time to the tormented admiration of the woman in charge of watching over and denouncing her. From the city of Saint Petersburg prior to the Revolution, as in a theater of astonishment, we become witnesses to her complex relationship with the creators of her time and, above all, with the most recognized poet of her generation, Nicolai Gumilyov, her first husband, murdered in 1921, in one of the first mass innocent trials planned by Lenin and which would become recurrent in the years of the Stalinist terror. A decade earlier, she herself tells us of her intense and brief love story in Paris, with Amedeo Modigliani. A collage novel, a documentary novel, a record of facts and rumors written with a poetry retained in small pieces of birch bark, as was done in the gulag.

The House at the Edge of Night: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 873min
A sweeping saga about four generations of a family who live and love on an enchanting island off the coast of Italy - combining the romance of Beautiful Ruins with the magical tapestry of works by Isabel Allende. Castellamare is an island far enough away from the mainland to be forgotten but not far enough to escape from the world's troubles. At the center of the island's life is a café draped with bougainvillea called the House at the Edge of Night, where the community gathers to gossip and talk. Amedeo Esposito, a foundling from Florence, finds his destiny on the island with his beautiful wife, Pina, whose fierce intelligence, grace, and unwavering love guide her every move. An indiscretion tests their marriage, and their children - three sons and an inquisitive daughter - grow up and struggle with both humanity's cruelty and its capacity for love and mercy. Spanning nearly a century, through secrets and mysteries, trials and sacrifice, this beautiful and haunting novel follows the lives of the Esposito family and the other islanders who live and love on Castellamare: a cruel count and his bewitching wife, a priest who loves scandal, a prisoner of war turned poet, an outcast girl who becomes a pillar of strength, a wounded English soldier who emerges from the sea. The people of Castellamare are transformed by two world wars and a great recession, by the threat of fascism and their deep bonds of passion and friendship, and by bitter rivalries and the power of forgiveness. Catherine Banner has written an enthralling, character-rich novel, epic in scope but intimate in feeling. At times the island itself seems alive, a mythical place where the earth heaves with stories - and this magical novel takes you there. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Edoardo Ballerini.
