Including facts about Monet, this book tells the story of Monet and his garden: his arrival; the country clothes he wore; the bright Japanese prints he collected; how the Impressionist artist painted outdoors, rain or shine; the thousands of seed-packets he ordered; his gardeners, who have to leave Giverny to go to war.
Children face doubt in every part of their lives. What will I wear? How long will I have to wait? Did I do it right? These doubts allow us to face our insecurities and teach us how to choose, learn, and grow as we decide what paths to take in life. Doubt is an intelligent approach for children from their own point of view that combines subtle humor with a little bit of irony to reassure the reader that we all cope with like unknowns. Through a warm combination of colors, Pia Valentinis illustrates these common self-doubts through animals, each asking a simple question that creates a comfortable atmosphere where the reader is presented with different ways of dealing with them. Doubt is a part of life, what makes us human, and in a world where we are pressured to be perfect, it is a healthy lesson to learn that the world can be wrong, that we are at liberty to change our minds, and that it is okay to stop and question, because "I always have so many doubts . . . Don't you?"
Fifty stories about the people who built iconic bridges, the people who cross them and the legends that accompany them.
Chi sono gli alberi? Creature vive che cantano, che emettono suoni nel silenzio o nella notte, che respirano, che si nutrono, che guardano, che sentono.Un libro come una passeggiata per scoprire e osservare gli alberi che ci circondano, i paesaggi che abitano e che abitiamo insieme, le relazioni tra loro e noi; per comprendere la loro bellezza, la vita che li anima e che ci infondono, la poesia che alimentano.
Zehn ikonische Künstlerpaare
»Lovers in Art« schildert überwältigende Leidenschaften in einer immer noch von Männern dominierten Gesellschaft. Diese Graphic Novel erzählt anhand der Schlüsselmomente ihres gemeinsamen Lebens von den Wünschen und der Schwierigkeit, sie einander zu erfüllen, von den Komplizenschaften und Komplikationen zehn leidenschaftlicher Paare, die allesamt Kunstgeschichte geschrieben haben. Das Buch wirft ein neues Licht auf die Rolle, die die Frauen als Malerinnen, Fotografinnen, Dichterinnen und Philosophinnen gespielt haben, und zwar eben nicht nur als Musen männlicher Künstler, sondern auch als Konkurrentinnen ihrer Liebhaber, als ihre Opfer und Herrscherinnen. Wenn Kunst und Leidenschaft aufeinandertreffen, entstehen unvergessliche, manchmal quälende, niemals aber banale Geschichten. Die Geschichte der Kunst ist geprägt von diesen schicksalhaften Begegnungen, die im Zeichen der Gemeinsamkeit und der mehr oder weniger ausgeprägten Rivalität stehen.
