    Muralist , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 549min
    Alizée Benoit, an American painter working for the Works Progress Administration (WPA), vanishes in New York City in 1940 amid personal and political turmoil. No one knows what happened to her. Not her Jewish family living in German-occupied France. Not her artistic patron and political compatriot, Eleanor Roosevelt. Not her close-knit group of friends, including Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, and Lee Krasner. And, some 70 years later, not her great-niece, Danielle Abrams, who, while working at Christie's auction house, uncovers enigmatic paintings hidden behind recently found works by those now famous abstract expressionist artists. Do they hold answers to the questions surrounding her missing aunt? Entwining the lives of both historical and fictional characters and moving between the past and the present, The Muralist plunges listeners into the divisiveness of prewar politics and the largely forgotten plight of European refugees refused entrance to the United States. It captures both the inner workings of today's New York art scene and the beginnings of the vibrant and quintessentially American school of abstract expressionism. B. A. Shapiro is a master at telling a gripping story while exploring provocative themes. In Alizée and Danielle, she has created two unforgettable women, artists both, who compel us to ask, What happens when luminous talent collides with inexorable historical forces? Does great art have the power to change the world? And to what lengths should a person go to thwart evil? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Xe Sands.

    The Lacuna , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1154min
    From the Mexico City of Frida Kahlo to the America of J. Edgar Hoover, The Lacuna tells the poignant story of a man pulled between two nations. Born in the United States, but reared in Mexico, Harrison Shepherd finds precarious shelter but no sense of home on his thrilling odyssey. Life is whatever he learns from housekeepers and, one fateful day, by mixing plaster for famed muralist Diego Rivera. When he goes to work for Rivera, his wife, exotic artist Kahlo, and exiled leader Lev Trotsky, Shepherd inadvertently casts his lot with art and revolution. Meanwhile, the United States has embraced the internationalist goodwill of World War II. Back in the land of his birth, Shepherd seeks to remake himself in America's hopeful image and claim a voice of his own. But political winds continue to toss him between north and south in a plot that turns many times on the unspeakable breach - the lacuna - between truth and public presumption. ungekürzt.

    Frida Kahlo
    Das Leben der deutsch-mexikanischen Malerin Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), das über viele Jahre an der Grenze zum Tod verlief, ist so unvergleichlich wie die Bilder, die sie gemalt hat. Als diese Frau auf scheinbar alles verzichten musste, schuf sie sich malend eine eigene Welt. Ihre Bilder, phantastische Metaphern für Liebe und Tod, treffen den Betrachter mit unausweichlicher Wut und schlugen auch die großen Künstler ihrer Generation in Bann.Die großes Liebe ihres Lebens war Diego Rivera, der bedeutendste Muralist Mexikos. Ihre Liebe floss in die Kunst beider ein und ließ eine Malerei von leidenschaftlicher Schönheit entstehen, die nicht aufhört, immer neue Generationen zu begeistern.Hayden Herrera, eine der besten Kennerinnen von Leben und Werk Frida Kahlos zeichnet den Lebensweg dieser bewundernswerten Frau nach: einfühlsam und detailgetrau, mit einem Gespür für Größe und Tragik.

Since the age of eight, the place she runs to is Bell Harbor, Maine. Barrett "Bear" Coulter is more of a long distance runner. After selling his ex half of their architectural design business in LA, he ran until he literally ran out of land. Bell Harbor, Maine was a far as he could get and remain in the country. His friends said he was crazy. After all, what sane person moves to Maine in mid-February? Painting the lobby at the Bell Harbor Inn would come with some amazing benefits for Kay - financial independence, internship credits from the graduate school, and seeing its handsome, incredibly sexy owner on a regular basis. One important snag: "Whatever you do, don't sleep with the man!" ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Russ Aaronson.
