Sinopsis

In "What Is Art?", Leo Tolstoy embarks on a profound exploration of the nature and purpose of art, questioning its societal functions and moral implications. This seminal treatise combines philosophical insight with Tolstoy's distinctive narrative style, marked by clarity and simplicity. He critiques contemporary trends in art, arguing for a more authentic expression of human experience that transcends mere aesthetic pleasure. Positioned within the context of 19th-century Russian thought, the work engages with prevailing notions of beauty and elitism, advocating for art that fosters universal connection and empathy. Tolstoy, a literary giant renowned for masterpieces such as "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina," was deeply influenced by his personal spiritual journey and commitment to moral values. His disillusionment with the artistic elite, coupled with his yearning for a more genuine and accessible form of expression, prompted him to write this insightful critique. His exploration not only reflects his own artistic philosophy but also his belief in the transformative power of art as a vehicle for social change and human solidarity. Readers fervently interested in the relationship between art and morality will find "What Is Art?" essential. Tolstoy's rigorous yet accessible arguments encourage reflection on the societal responsibilities of both the artist and the audience. This book invites its readers to reconsider their understanding of cultural production, making it a vital addition to the libraries of artists, philosophers, and anyone seeking to grasp the moral dimensions of creativity.

    In Do You Remember? Celebrating Fifty Years of Earth, Wind & Fire, Trenton Bailey traces the humble beginning of Maurice White, his development as a musician, and his formation of Earth, Wind & Fire, a band that became a global phenomenon during the 1970s. By the early 1980s, the music industry was changing, and White had grown weary after working constantly for more than a decade. He decided to put the band on hiatus for more than three years. The band made a comeback in 1987, but White's health crisis soon forced them to tour without him. During the twenty-first century, the band has received numerous accolades and lifetime achievement and hall of fame awards. The band remains relevant today, collaborating with younger artists and maintaining their classic sound.
    
    Earth, Wind & Fire stood apart from other soul bands with their philosophical lyrics and extravagant visual art, including album covers, concerts, and music videos, much of which is studied in this audiobook—which uses new AI narrative technology. The lyrics of hit songs are examined alongside an analysis of the band's chart success. Earth, Wind & Fire has produced twenty-one studio albums and several compilation albums. Each album is analyzed for content and quality. Earth, Wind & Fire is also known for using ancient Egyptian symbols, and Bailey thoroughly details those symbols and Maurice White's fascination with Egyptology. After enduring many personnel changes, Earth, Wind & Fire continues to perform around the world and captivate diverse audiences.

    Russell C. Brennan (aka Russell Writer) started DJing at only 15 years old in places he wasn’t even old enough to be in, where ‘Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting’ by Elton John was often on the turntable. Fought over by two agencies who wanted to represent him, he quickly established himself as a popular DJ in clubs, restaurants, dancehalls and pubs around London and Southern England before being snapped up by an international agency who would catapult him to being one of the first super DJs back in the 80s playing big clubs around Europe. He was also asked to become the premiere VJ of MTV Europe when it launched. 
    This book is far from being a bog-standard sex, drugs and rock n’ roll tale (although some of that apart from the drugs does creep in). He gives an insight into what a ruthless business it can be and covers other striking events that also became part of his journey like murder and a very unique marriage. 
    It gives an insight into what it’s like to be a top DJ and celebrity lifestyle , often in a humorous or poetic way but as is the case with some of his other biographies about other parts of his career, it’s a warts and all story featuring more than a few unusual relationships, so no holds barred and not for the squeamish. 
    Russell is currently the world’s only male Geisha (the rest are all female). What that means in reality is, he has made a dent in all the arts from writing, music, photography and art and is even editor of an influential cultural magazine and head honcho of an influential indie record label. 
    . He has come a long way since those early DJ days that first put him on the map.

    Naive art first became popular at the end of the 19th-century. Until that time this form of expression, created by untrained artists and characterised by spontaneity and simplicity, enjoyed little recognition from professional artists and art critics. Influenced by primitive arts, naive painting is distinguished by the fluidity of its lines, vivacity, and joyful colours, as well as by its rather clean-cut, simple shapes. Naive art is represented by such artists as Henri Rousseau, Séraphine de Senlis, André Bauchant, and Camille Bombois. This movement has also found adherents abroad, including such prominent artists as Joan Miró, Guido Vedovato, Niko Pirosmani, and Ivan Generalic.
