Viața secretă a marilor artiști

The story of the most important art show in U.S. history. Held at Manhattan’s 69th Regiment Armory in 1913, the show brought modernism to America in an unprecedented display of 1300 works by artists including Picasso, Matisse, and Duchamp, A quarter of a million Americans visited the show; most couldn’t make sense of what they were seeing. Newspaper critics questioned the artists’ sanity. A popular rumor held that the real creator of one abstract canvas was a donkey with its tail dipped in paint. The Armory Show went on to Boston and Chicago and its effects spread across the country. American artists embraced a new spirit of experimentation as conservative art institutions lost all influence. New modern art galleries opened to serve collectors interested in buying the most progressive works. Over time, the stage was set for American revolutionaries such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Roy Lichtenstein, and Andy Warhol. Today, when museums of modern and contemporary art dot the nation and New York reigns as art capital of the universe, we live in a world created by the Armory Show. Elizabeth Lunday, author of the breakout hit Secret Lives of Great Artists, tells the story of the exhibition from the perspectives of organizers, contributors, viewers, and critics. Brimming with fascinating and surprising details, the book takes a fast-paced tour of life in America and Europe, peering into Gertrude Stein’s famous Paris salon, sitting in at the fabulous parties of New York socialites, and elbowing through the crowds at the Armory itself.

This is one art history lesson you’ll never forget!

Vite segrete dei grandi artisti. Tutto ciò che non vi hanno mai voluto raccontare sui più grandi maestri

Tutto ciò che non ci hanno mai voluto raccontare sui più grandi artisti. Storie vere di omicidi, falsi, imbrogli e grande arte. Con aneddoti scandalosi su tutti, da Leonardo (presunto sodomita) a Caravaggio (assassino) a Edward Hopper (violento con la moglie) Le vite segrete dei grandi artisti racconta la storia a volte squallida, caotica e intrigante che si cela dietro i grandi maestri dell'arte internazionale. Si scoprirà che l'odore del corpo di Michelangelo era così cattivo che i suoi assistenti non sopportavano di lavorare per lui, che Vincent Van Gogh a volte mangiava la vernice direttamente dal tubetto, e che Georgia OKeeffe amava dipingere nuda. Sono circa quaranta gli artisti di cui parla il libro a cominciare da Jan Van Eyck per finire con Andy Warhol. Ogni capitolo si concentra su un solo artista e per ciascuno si ottiene una panoramica completa della sua vita e un commento sull'opera più famosa. Questa è una lezione di storia dell'arte che non si dimenticherà mai!
