How to Raise an Art Star

Ara Tucker

Gus Hempelstein had only wanted to change things a little bit. He was about to find out that when you were dealing with Vabeh Gregson Bennett, you had to go big or find another playground.
Morgan and Devon Gregson Bennett are an interracial creative power couple living happily enough in Brooklyn until a freak accident leaves a little girl orphaned in Los Angeles. Setting aside reservations about the price motherhood will exact on their marriage and careers, Morgan and Devon agree to adopt Vabeh, a bi-racial ethnic-hair-products heiress. Vabeh touches down in New York, wearing last season’s fur and on a mission to quickly distinguish herself from the other bold-faced names at her new school, the tony School for Spoiled Kids.
Vabeh’s meteoric ascension as a painter isn’t enough to quell her ambition, so she opens the Walk-In Art Gallery. Soon, she has collectors and classmates clamoring for her attention. All is proceeding according to plan, until her trusted gallerina, Gus Hempelstein, turns in his skinny jeans and defects to open a rival gallery, the Sit Down, backed by Devon’s ex-lover and powerful art world patron, Pim Logan.
Even with a publicist and therapist working overtime on Vabeh’s behalf to protect her art world darling status, Morgan and Devon’s parenting skills are put to the test as the press breathlessly covers their every move.
Will Vabeh crumple under the weight of Gus’s devastating betrayal, or will she dust it off, chalking it up to just another day on the playground?

Great Moments of Humanity - 12...

Stefan Zweig

In this book, Stefan Zweig traces 12 fateful events of world history in his unique artistic style: from the capture of the Byzantine capital of Constantinople by the Turks, to the Battle of Waterloo to Sir Robert Falcon Scott's tragic South Pole expedition. The human character and sometimes simple fate are decisive historic factors that have led to dramatic and lasting changes in the past. Often short, coincidental and highly dramatic moments have the potential to change the future of mankind in a decisive manner – the so called ‘Great Moments of Humanity’. The original book has been published in 1927. “Sternstunden der Menschheit”. The audiobook is based on a new translation from 2021 by Philip Knüppel.

It may sound like socialism to say 
we should treat horses like human beings, 
especially when one of them happens to be a human being. 
When we jump guiltily off a rickshaw, 
and then feel sorry we've deprived the poor man of his 
livelihood 
and finally tip him out of pity- 
in all three cases we're a trial to him, and he has to endure 
us.

Art History Byzantine art

Charles Bayet

For more than a millennium, from its creation in 330 A.D. until its fall in 1453, the Byzantine Empire was a cradle of artistic effervescence that we are only beginning to rediscover. Endowed with the rich heritage of Roman, Eastern and Christian cultures, Byzantine artists developed an architectural and pictorial tradition, marked by symbolism, whose influence extended far beyond the borders of the Empire. Today, Italy, Northern Africa, and the Near East preserve the vestiges of this sophisticated artistic tradition, with all of its mystical and luminous beauty. The magnificence of the palaces, churches, paintings, enamels, ceramics and mosaics from this civilisation guarantees Byzantine art's powerful influence and timelessness.
