Artists Who Changed History

Who are they—the great artists who left an indelible mark on world art? Daring, misunderstood, lonely… What unites them is one thing: genius. This book is devoted to the most famous artists in the history of art, from 1300 to our time. Each of them carried out a kind of revolution in art history and predetermined the development of their era. Why does contemporary painting begin in a small chapel in northern Italy? Is Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” as brilliant as they say? How do you create a recognizable brand and earn $10 million off a shark? Is it true that twentieth-century art cannot be understood without theoretical foundations? You’ll find out all of this from an art historian and popular blogger, Daria Oskin.
