- Painter Barbora Didžiokiene (born as Varvara Gorochova – 12/12/1896-18/08/1976) met - 16 years old - Vladas Didžiokas - drawing teacher in St. Petersburg. After their marriage they moved to Kaunas, the capital of Lithuania at the time. Vladas Didžiokas' died in 1942 and Barbora moved to a small village of Dovainonys near Kaunas. She spent the rest of her life working as a drawing teacher in a school in Rumšiškes and writing her memoirs. This book is about her life in St. Petersburg and Kaunas (until 1921), it includes photos of her life and reproductions of works from the National Ciurlionis gallery. She called herself ‘little painter’, because her husband Vladas was more known in Kaunas society. Vladas did not accept her aspiration to be a painter and obstructed her in various ways. A second part of memoirs is expected in the future.

- Leonora is het verhaal over het leven van de Britse kunstenares Leonora Carrington, een van de laatste surrealisten. Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) was tot haar dood op 94-jarige leeftijd een levende legende. Als jonge vrouw trok ze in Parijs op met Dali, Duchamp en Picasso, en had ze turbulente liefdesverhoudingen met de Franse dichter Paul Eluard en de Duitse kunstenaar Max Ernst. Toen Ernst in de Tweede Wereldoorlog naar een concentratiekamp werd gestuurd, verloor ze haar verstand en belandde in een inrichting. Ze ontsnapte en trouwde met een Mexicaanse diplomaat die haar hielp te vluchten naar New York. Daar brak ze, dankzij de hulp van kunstverzamelaar Peggy Guggenheim, door met haar eigen schilderijen. Uiteindelijk vestigde Leonora Carrington zich in Mexico, waar ze haar hele leven bleef schrijven, schilderen en beeldhouwen. Haar schilderijen hangen wereldwijd in musea.

- Description
- The French-American sculptor Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) was one of the most important artists of the last century. Her fleshy blobs, skeletal spiders and the aggressive fragility of her work offered a new solution to the antagonism between the figurative and the abstract that had previously been part and parcel of modernism. Bourgeois herself provided a unique interpretive level to modern art through the uses she made of childhood trauma, family life and sexuality. This study serves as both an introduction to the central themes of the late artist's oeuvre and as a commemoration of her one-hundredth birthday. Over the course of nine chapters, it examines her life, her exploration of the works of other artists and the transformation of her emotions into such works of art as the now iconic pieces 'Destruction of the Father,' 'Fillette,' 'Cells' and 'Maman.'
