Yang Liu Man Meets Woman ENIs this a man's world? Bright, bold pictograms from Yang Liu revisit the roles, relationships and age-old cliches of male and female experience. Imagine a setting in which a man wearing a dress might be as habitual as a woman in trousers. Where a woman exposing herself in public wasn't sexy, but as creepy as a male flasher. Where professional status and success presented the same prospects for both sexes. In this…

Marlon Brando ENHad he not been an actor, Marlon Brando once wrote, he would have become a criminal—specifically, a con artist. Take him at his word.

Marx Brothers ENThe surprising thing about this film was that I succeeded in not going crazy, said director Leo McCarey about working with the manic Marx Brothers on Duck Soup.

Whether it's wise-cracking Groucho with his big cigar and bushy eyebrows,…

Gilles Néret Matisse ENThe extraordinary significance of the painter and sculptor Henri Matisse in the history of modern art, but also his influence, was no less decisive than that of his main rival, Pablo Picasso.

Ulrich Bischoff Max Ernst ENMax Ernst (1891-1996) ako študent v Bonne sa stretáva s vlnou dadaistického hnutia, ktoré vytvára akúsi revolúciu proti existujúcej spoločnosti a zároveň reaguje na krviprelievanie počas 1. svetovej vojny. Po zatvorení známej výstavy Dada v Cologne pre obscénnosť sa rozhodol odísť do Paríža, kde sa stretáva so surrealizmom. Vďaka svojmu štýlu a technike však stojí mimo akéhokoľvek hnutia, je veľmi subjektívny,…

He became famous with…
