El muralismo mexicano cambió para siempre la manera de experimentar el arte público, y no solo en Latinoamérica, sino alrededor del mundo. Diego Rivera emerge como uno de los pintores más descollantes de aquel movimiento artístico. Alimentado de las tradiciones aztecas y de las vanguardias de su tiempo, Rivera plasmó su arte en obras fulgurantes como “El mercado de Tlatelolco” y “Sueño de una tarde dominical en la Alameda Central”.

Alessandro Barbero segue Dante nella sua adolescenza di figlio d'un usuraio che sogna di appartenere al mondo dei nobili e dei letterati; nei corridoi oscuri della politica, dove gli ideali si infrangono davanti alla realtà meschina degli odi di partito e della corruzione dilagante; nei vagabondaggi dell'esiliato che scopre l'incredibile varietà dell'Italia del Trecento, fra metropoli commerciali e corti cavalleresche.

Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, led an unusual but meaningful life. Through his lifetime, he sold millions of albums and his songs can be heard almost everywhere.

In fact, he also experienced struggles and obstacles along the way. Fortunately, he was able to overcome all of it, and his determination to be an outstanding artist never faded.

Este notable artista alemán (1471 - 1528) fue el pincel más famoso del Renacimiento alemán, y reconocido mundialmente gracias a sus pinturas, dibujos, grabados y escritos teóricos sobre arte, que ejercieron una profunda influencia en los artistas del siglo XVI de su propio país y de los Países Bajos.

Oscar Claude Monet, ossia l'impressionismo. Fu lui, infatti che si impose e che delineò con le sue opere, "impressioni su tela" destinate a diventare le capostipiti di una corrente artistica che divenne predominante tra la fine del 1800 e l'inizio del 1900. Di sicuro il dotatissimo ragazzo di Montmartre di origini modeste non poteva immaginare che la sua passione per la pittura, l'avrebbe reso celebre, e che le sue tele sarebbero diventate icone di bellezza in grado di suscitare ammirazione e di emozionare.

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 meinem Erzählungszyklus „Die sieben Leben des Seian Kobuschka" beschreibe ich rückblickend anregende, interessante, aber auch kuriose Begegnungen mit Menschen, die ich ein Stück ihres Lebensweges begleiten konnte, und von denen ich einige auch zu meinen Freunden zählen durfte.
