Marica Vilcek was just twelve years old when the Communists took over her country. Her prospects were curtailed, as a result, and when her brother vanished, apparently escaping to Western Europe, her family became blacklisted, reducing her hope for a future career in the sciences and arts. But in spite of many obstacles to advancing, Marica was determined to earn a degree, and managed to find work at the Slovak National Gallery. She tiptoed around Party members, careful to never reveal her family name.

La fastuosa y rutilante tradición de una ceremonia que actualmente, es más que una sola entrega de premios. El glamour, la belleza, la fantasía y las grandes películas, se encuentran una sola vez al año bajo el auspicio de la Academia de las Artes y las Ciencias de Hollywood para premiar a quienes con su talento y organización, han elevado al cine a la categoría de séptimo arte.

Ancient images can feel distant—formal, silent, as if speaking an unknown language. And yet, they were designed to communicate with absolute clarity. Why is the pharaoh always larger? Why do figures appear flat, shown in strict profile? Why do certain symbols repeat with such insistence? Why do temples, tombs, and palaces take the shapes they do? These aren't accidents. They're choices—visual strategies born from what these cultures valued most: power, order, memory, the divine.

Immorale, assassino, folle. Geniale, profetico, rivoluzionario. Chi era davvero Caravaggio? Sono ancora molti i misteri che circondano la figura sfuggente e controversa di Michelangelo Merisi. Lo storico dell'arte Costantino D'Orazio fa luce sulle ombre che circondano l'artista rileggendone i capolavori con stile immediato e accattivante. Un viaggio nel tempo per rivivere le atmosfere dell'epoca e scoprire i seducenti e ingannevoli giochi di prestigio che il pittore usa per nascondere significati più profondi all'interno delle sue opere

Il film di Germi del 1962 dipinge un'Italia e una Sicilia molto reali, immerse nella povertà del Dopoguerra. Il Barone interpretato da un grande Mastroianni è una delle figure più controverse e brillanti tra gli omicidi della storia del cinema e, allo stesso, tempo uno dei più pasticcioni. Si potrebbe dire che riesce nei suoi intenti nonostante se stesso!

Jean Renoir's career almost spans the history years of cinema - from the early silent movies, to the naturalism of the talkies, committed cinema, film noir, Hollywood studio productions, the Technicolor-period comedies and fast television techniques. His film The Grand Illusion remains one of the greatest movies about the effects of war.

You'd know Fred Stoller if you saw him. He has appeared on practically every great sitcom you've ever seen - Everybody Loves Raymond, Friends, and Murphy Brown just to name a few. But he has never been a regular on a series, always the guest star. He longs to find a showbiz home. Instead, he is a television foster child, shuttling from show to show in the vain hope that one will finally agree to keep him.

In 1900, an 18-year-old Spaniard named Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Paris. It was in this glittering capital of the international art world that, after suffering years of poverty and neglect, he emerged as the leader of a bohemian band of painters, sculptors, and poets. Fueled by opium and alcohol, inspired by raucous late-night conversations at the Lapin Agile cabaret, Picasso and his friends resolved to shake up the world.

Pintor, dibujante y activista político infatigable, José Clemente Orozco es sin duda el mayor de los tres grandes exponentes de la escuela muralista mexicana, aquella que con Siqueiros y Diego Rivera le diera tanta fama y gloria al país norteamericano. Él fue un metodista, un talento, un artista que llevaba a cabo sus pinturas a la manera antigua, con una mezcla de temple y óleo, de la misma manera que los pintores medievales.

In February 1969, the Beatles began working on what became their final album together. Abbey Road introduced a number of new techniques and technologies to the Beatles' sound and included "Come Together", "Something", and "Here Comes the Sun", which all emerged as classics.

Solid State takes listeners back to 1969 and into EMI's Abbey Road Studios, which boasted an advanced solid state transistor mixing desk.
