René Magritte (Lessines, November 21st 1898 - Bruxelles, August 15th 1967) is considered the most important Surrealist belgian painter, along with Paul Delvaux.

His surrealism is a very lucid gaze on the reality around him, where neither dreams nor unconscious impulses have any place. His only desire is to "feel the silence of the world", as he himself declared.

Gisela Colón is a Puerto Rican-American contemporary artist whose organic, totemic, light-activated sculptures and monumental environmental installations explore human perception challenging viewers to experience transformation in real time and space.
Through an artistic process that employs high-tech materials like optical acrylics and carbon fiber, as
well as matter harvested from sites of the artist’s own life, Colón is known for pioneering a language of “organic minimalism” that recalls the energy of the earth, ancestral biological memories, and concepts of time, gravity, and universal forces of nature. Colón’s monoliths invoke bullets, projectiles, and missiles, consequently recalling the fraught history of militarized colonialism in the Caribbean generally, and the artist’s complicated personal experiences with gun violence more particularly. Yet for Colón the monolith in its soaring verticality also echoes the arresting mountainous peaks of Puerto Rico, an enduring source of materia prima for the artist.
Employing ecofeminist and decolonial strategies, Colón reconfigures entangled histories into a universal language, transmuting forms of violence, displacement, and death into vessels of healing, light, and life.
This monograph is the culmination of 5 years of Land Art projects and a comprehensive survey exhibition at the Museu Nacional da Repùblica in Brazil and its environmental activation of the Monumental Axis in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil.

It's difficult to imagine a world where Van Gogh's paintings don't exist, but the "art call" came to him when he was already 27 years old, and he never got a traditional art education.
His works were strongly influenced by Dutch art, but also Japan and its culture, and if we think that he was able to produce around 900 artworks in only ten years of activity, we can say for sure that art was, in fact, his true call.

Skira editore

Losanna 1928: Un giovane svizzero innamorato dell’arte Alberto Schira, che ha francesizzato il suo nome in Albert Skira, fonda una minuscola casa editrice. Nessuno può immaginare che questa sigla farà la storia dell’editoria d’arte nel mondo.

Parigi, anni ’30: Al 25 di rue de la Boétie c’è la sede parigina della casa editrice Skira. La frequentano Pablo Picasso e Henri Matisse, cui si devono i primi due straordinari libri della giovane casa editrice: le Metamorfosi di Ovidio con 30 acqueforti originali di Picasso e le Poésies di Mallarmé, per le quali Matisse ha creato 29 incisioni.

Ginevra, 1948: Per festeggiare i vent’anni della Skira, che ha trasferito la sede svizzera da Losanna a Ginevra e conserva a Parigi quella francese, Henri Matisse disegna di suo pugno la copertina del catalogo: un volto di donna che diverrà il simbolo della casa editrice, affiancato al celebre marchio con le maiuscole allungate. Negli anni che seguiranno quel marchio farà il giro del mondo, contrassegnando libri e collane mitiche.

Oggi la sede della holding del gruppo è ancora a Ginevra, ma il quartier generale si trova ora a Milano, in un grande palazzo del Cinquecento. Skira pubblica oltre 300 novità all’anno con tre programmi principali, in italiano, inglese e francese e due più ridotti, in tedesco e in spagnolo. La qualità editoriale e quella visiva restano i caratteri distintivi fondamentali della casa editrice, che ha allargato il proprio orizzonte dalle arti visuali all’architettura, al design, alle arti applicate, sino alla moda e al cinema. Skira è il maggior editore europeo di cataloghi di mostre ed è anche produttore e organizzatore di grandi eventi artistici.
