This highly entertaining exploration of art, history, and commerce
reveals how 30 masterpieces made the journey from image to icon.
How did paintings such as the Mona Lisa, Birth of Venus, and The
Scream achieve worldwide recognition? Why do certain works of art
populate T-shirts, coffee mugs, calendars, and advertising? Witty
and well researched, this accessible exploration of visual and
popular culture reveals how particular works of art have become
part of the collective imagination. Readers will learn that Myron s
Discobolus only became widely known when the sculpture was used to
promote the Olympics, that the success of Leonardo s Last Supper is
due to the fact that it was one of the first paintings to be
mass-reproduced, that the Mona Lisa became a celebrity only after
being stolen from the Louvre, and that Girl with a Pearl Earring
was deemed a minor Vermeer until it became the subject of a
bestselling novel. Ranging from the classical to the contemporary,
travelling through the Renaissance, Impressionism, Surrealism, and
abstraction, Mona Lisa to Marge offers insights that are in turn
thought provoking, irreverent, and surprising. Generously
illustrated, the book features the original artworks as well as the
cartoons, ads, book and album covers, and everyday objects they
inspired. The book will open readers eyes to the artistic images
that have become universal touchstones and the fascinating stories
of how and why they got there.
Úprimná spoveď matky – manželky, ktorú zlé rozhodnutia vženú priamo
do náruče odborníkov. Ako žena, matka a manželka si je vedomá
svojich chýb, ťarcha rozhodnutí je však oveľa silnejšia. Stráca
nielen svoju rodinu, ale aj to, čo jej bolo najbližšie. Svoje deti.
Skutočný príbeh, tak trochu drsný, trochu podaný s vtipom o ženách,
mužoch a deťoch, ktorým jediné rozhodnutie zmenilo život. V poradí
štrnásta kniha od obľúbenej Evity Urbaníkovej prináša príbeh, ktorý
je zasadený do prostredia rodiny a medziľudských vzťahov. Citát:
Niekedy máme v živote jednoducho smolu. Niekedy sa dostaneme do
prúseru, ani nevieme ako. Ale niekedy si za všetko, čo sa deje,
môžeme sami.
