Curious art. The most peculiar, funny, and captivating stories hidden behind the great artists and their masterpieces

Art can and should bring a lot of pleasure. At a certain moment, you will look at the picture and enjoy. The main thing is the format in which you will be told about it. This book is hardly similar to a boring lecture at the university, where they talk about artistic terminology or the importance of perspective. The author is interested in piquant material: did Van GOG really commit suicide? Was Jack a rifle actually a British artist? And how did the rivalry between Michelangelo and Raphael led to the creation of one of the best created works of art?
All these stories are mixed, surprised, forced to empathize thanks to the author’s ringing intonation. The unwillingness is naive to trust all the facts around together with talent to tell stories give birth to colorful characters, an unusual habitat and an original story, to observe which is interesting to both the author and the audience.
Jennifer Dazal, the author of this book, leading podcast artcurious. She is a curator of contemporary art with almost twenty years of experience and countless research in the history of art. Each issue, like every chapter of the book, is a wildly entertaining and surprisingly informative immersion in the history of art, which you have never met before!
