Doris Krystof Modigliani ENIn endless odes to the female form, Amedeo Modigliani (1884–1920) traced elongated bodies, almond eyes, and his own name into art history. His languid female subjects are as instantly recognizable as they are startling, sensual, and swan-necked. Modigliani's unique figuration corresponded to his own personal idea of beauty, but drew upon a rich variety of visual influences, including contemporary Cubism, African…

Monet’s poplars, grain stacks, Rouen Cathedral, and waterlily paintings — among the most beloved works of the Impressionist period…

Daniel Wildenstein Monet or The Triumph of Impressionism ENAlong with Turner, no artist has sought more than Claude Monet (1840 - 1926) to capture light itself on canvas. Of all the Impressionists, it was the man Cézanne called only an eye, but my God what an eye! who stayed completely true to the principle of absolute fidelity to the visual sensation, painting directly from the object. It could be said that Monet reinvented the possibilities of colour, and whether it was…

Moorish Architecture ENSpain owes its special historical position in Europe very largely to his intensive encounter with the Orient. In the summer of 710, a small force under the command of a Berber named Tarîf ibn Mâlik landed to the west of Gibraltar. The Islamic armies that followed in its wake succeeded in conquering large areas of Spain within a short span of years. The conquerors gave the country the name of al-andalus. Thus began a…

Moroccan Interiors ENThis book explores contemporary interiors in the sun-soaked land that stretches from the Sahara to the Mediterranean: Morocco.

Movies of the 30s ENThe stock market crash of 1929 had left the America—and the globe—in a devastating depression that would not begin to lift until World War II.

Movies of the 40s ENThe 40s were the decade of the movies. With the world at war, directors served up propaganda and escapist entertainment to the massed moviegoers of the pre-television age. Yet in many countries, there was also a parallel tendency towards greater realism. In Italy, for example, the spirit of the resistance culminated in the neorealist movement, which inspired the world’s moviemakers with masterpieces such as De…
