Anguished art: The tortured talents of a post-Impressionist master. Today, the works of Vincent van Gogh (1853 - 1890) are among the most well-known and celebrated in the world. In Sunflowers, The Starry Night, Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear, and many, many paintings and drawings beyond, we recognize an artist uniquely dexterous in the portrayal of mood and place through paint, pencil, charcoal, or chalk. Yet as he was deploying the lurid colors, emphatic brushwork, and contoured forms that would subsequently make his name and inspire generations of expressionist artists, van Gogh battled not only the disinterest of ... |

Als F. Scott Fitzgeralds famoser Roman "The Great Gatsby" 1925 erschien, erntete sein Autor von zahlreichen Schriftstellerkollegen hymnische Kritiken, doch erst die Nachkriegsjahrzehnte bescherten seinem Meisterwerk die weltweite Anerkennung, die es verdient. Ergreifend und mit subtiler Finesse erzählt Fitzgerald die Geschichte des schillernden Emporkömmlings Jay Gatsby, der auf seinem Anwesen rauschende Feste feiert, um seine einst verlorene Liebe zurückzugewinnen - eine Geschichte über die Macht großer Gefühle und das schmerzhafte Scheitern eines romantischen Traums. Diese ... |

Generally considered to be F. Scott Fitzgerald's finest novel, The Great Gatsby is a consummate summary of the "roaring twenties", and a devastating expose of the "Jazz Age". Through the narration of Nick Carraway, the reader is taken into the superficially glittering world of the mansions which lined the Long Island shore in the 1920s, to encounter Nick's cousin Daisy, her brash but wealthy husband Tom Buchanan, Jay Gatsby and the mystery that surrounds him. The Great Gatsby is an undisputed classic of American literature from the period following the First World War and is one of the great ... |

It was a dappled and daubed harbor scene that gave Impressionism its name. When Impression, Sunrise by Claude Monet was exhibited in April 1874, critics seized upon the work's title and its loose stylistic rendering of light and motion upon water to deride this new, impressionistic, tendency in art. As with many seminal art movements, the critics got their comeuppance. Today, Impressionism is close contender for the world's favorite period of painting. With blockbuster exhibitions, record-breaking auction prices, and packed museums, the works once dismissed as unfinished or imprecise are now beloved for their ... |
