  Franz Schubert was regarded chiefly as a composer of domestic music, and during his all-too-brief life managed to publish only a quarter of his works. Without patronage and without ever becoming well known or a virtuoso, how did Schubert manage to achieve unprecedented expressivity in song composition, or to create his chamber, symphonic and piano masterpieces? And how did he reconcile the warring elements of his tempestuous personality? This vivid biographical narrative includes selections from his most popular works including the String Quintet in C major and the ‘Trout’ Quintet, as well as the symphonies, and examples from his Lieder and stage works.

  What Your Favorite Color Says...

  Color is a fundamental part of human experience, shaping emotions, perceptions, and even behavior. From ancient civilizations to modern psychology, color has been studied for its impact on the human mind. Some colors evoke feelings of warmth and excitement, while others create a sense of calm and relaxation. But beyond their immediate effects, colors can also serve as a reflection of personality and identity. The idea that a person’s favorite color reveals something about their character has intrigued psychologists, researchers, and individuals alike. This book explores the fascinating connection between color preferences and human psychology, offering insights into how and why we gravitate toward certain shades.  
  How a person develops a preference for a particular color is influenced by multiple factors, including early childhood experiences, cultural associations, and even genetic predispositions. Some psychologists suggest that color preferences are rooted in personal memories—positive experiences with a specific color may lead to a lasting affinity for it. Additionally, cultural and societal norms play a significant role in shaping perceptions of color. For example, while white represents purity and new beginnings in Western cultures, it is often associated with mourning in parts of Asia. These cultural variations demonstrate that color meanings are not universal, but rather deeply ingrained in social contexts.  
  Despite these external influences, color preferences are also highly personal and can evolve over time. A child who loves bright and playful colors like yellow or orange may later develop an appreciation for more subdued tones such as blue or gray. Life experiences, emotional growth, and shifting priorities contribute to these changes.

  In this richly illustrated landmark book, author and journalist Will Ellsworth-Jones documents the sold, stolen and destroyed works of Banksy, one of the most renowned and controversial artists of our time. 
  This is a book about what you can't see: the works that have disappeared entirely, whether destroyed by authorities or whisked into people's private art collections to languish on walls or in collector's vaults. These remarkable works are as elusive as their creator, but are returned here for public consumption and enjoyment.
  A victim of his own success, Banksy is famous the world over and yet more famously disdainful of the spotlight, preferring to remain anonymous. Considered by many to be one of the greatest living artists in the world and to others a rogue vandal with a political agenda, Banksy has scandalised and enlightened the art world since his acts of guerrilla art began to appear on the streets of Barton Hill in Bristol over 25 years ago. His artworks can now be found on streets across the globe, adorning the walls of some of the world's most distinguished galleries and even being sold for millions at private auctions. 
  
  
  Works unveiled in Banksy's Lost Works include:
  • The pieces painted on partially destroyed buildings around Kyiv, Ukraine, one of which has already been cut off the wall by a group of locals. 
  • Valentine's Day Mascara in Margate that has now been restored and housed in Dreamland after several interventions by Thanet District Council.
  • Banksy's disappearing rats, an early symbol of the artist routinely painted over by councils when the name Banksy was more synonymous with 'vandal' than 'artist'.
  This book, showcasing the often mysterious and occasionally mundane disappearances of works by one of the art world's more elusive figures, is a truly indispensable addition to the library of any Banksy fan. Sold, stolen or destroyed, discover Banksy's works that have disappeared from the wall.
