Un hombre verdaderamente vive incluso después de su muerte si deja un legado que lo transcienda durante años. Albert Einstein, Harriet Tubman, Karl Marx, Mozart, Marie Curie, Van Gogh, Marsha Johnson - hay tantos ejemplos de hombres y mujeres cuyas acciones revolucionaron la historia y allanaron el camino para que las generaciones futuras prosperaran. Un nombre que destaca en este sentido en el mundo del entretenimiento es el de Walt Disney.

In The Lives of Michel Foucault, David Macey quotes the iconic French philosopher as speaking “nostalgically...of 'an unforgettable evening on LSD, in carefully prepared doses, in the desert night, with delicious music, [and] nice people'". This came to pass in 1975, when Foucault spent Memorial Day weekend in Southern California at the invitation of Simeon Wade - ostensibly to guest-lecture at the Claremont Graduate School where Wade was an assistant professor, but in truth to explore what he called the Valley of Death.

Unlike most artists, Van Gogh developed very slowly, beginning with work as an art dealer that exposed him to many great works. He undertook this work for several years, after which he spent time as a missionary for the Dutch Reformed Church. Thereafter, he drifted for several years before returning home to his parents’ house, where he took up painting, largely self-taught with books on anatomy and painting. His great works all date from the later years of his life.

Figure emblématique de la Renaissance italienne, Léonard de Vinci ne cesse d'interroger la nature et de chercher à comprendre les lois qui la gouvernent. La peinture devient avec lui l'espace d'un savoir qui se construit pas à pas. La lumière et l'ombre, autrefois symboles divins du bien et du mal, y traduisent désormais le clair-obscur de toute connaissance humaine.

La renommée de Le Corbusier est telle que son seul nom symbolise une sorte de renaissance architecturale liée à la reconstruction du pays suite à la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Créateur d'une écriture nouvelle de la construction de l'espace, sa réflexion s'inscrit dans un début de XXe siècle riche en remise en cause des académismes artistiques hérités du passé.

In 1849, Henry David Thoreau argued in his essay “Civil Disobedience” that people should not allow governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that people have the right to avoid such submission to permit the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was partly motivated by his abhorrence with slavery and the Mexican-American War. His work has inspired great leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Martin Buber.
