Handsome Men. Artists of the 20th Century. Stories That Shook the World

The lead speaker and co-founder of the Kulturegram lecture series, Polina Kasperovich, talks about the brightest artists of the 20th century and things you didn't know before. For example, that Andy Warhol was afraid of the dark, Paul Cézanne had a complicated relationship with his father, and Kazimir Malevich married a woman named Kazimira. The author meticulously unravels the life stories and development of these artists and shows that they are, first and foremost, people – alive, real, vibrant – and only then – geniuses of their time who changed the world. This is a fresh perspective on well-known paintings, names, and fates. The charming illustrations in this book, QR codes, and engagingly narrated stories will make the giants of artistic thought even closer and more understandable. And at the end of the book, you will find a pleasant surprise that will allow you to become an artist yourself!
