Той е мишена, тя е капан. Той е леден айсберг, тя е жарко слънце. Те са двата полюса на магнита, неудържимо привлечени един от друг... Еди. Трент Рексрот е красиво, мълчаливо чудовище, което всява страх. Студен, рязък и лаконичен, той рядко има нещо за казване - и никога нищо за себе си. Презира всички, но най-вече мен. Аз съм на осемнайсет, той е на трийсет и три. Самотен баща на сладко момиченце и бизнес партньор на баща ми. Държи се с мен сякаш съм му враг - и с основание. Той е емоционално недостъпен грубиян, към когото не бива да изпитвам чувства. Но те пламтят в мен и ще ме изгорят отвътре. Знам, че ще разбие ... |

To explore the Tarot is to explore ourselves, to be reminded of the universality of our longing for meaning, for purpose and for a connection to the divine. This 600-year-old tradition reflects not only a history of seekers, but our journey of artistic expression and the ways we communicate our collective human story. For many in the West, Tarot exists in the shadow place of our cultural consciousness, a metaphysical tradition assigned to the dusty glass cabinets of the arcane. Its history, long and obscure, has been passed down through secret writing, oral tradition, and the scholarly tomes of philosophers and sages. ... |

A key figure in the international avant-garde, Piet Mondrian (1872 - 1944) was at once an extraordinary painter and leading art theoretician whose influence resonates to this day.

Mondrian's vision was that this essential painting would help to achieve a society in which art as such has no place, but rather exists for the total realization of "beauty". With stints in Amsterdam, Paris, London, and New York, Mondrian drew ... |

Elles portent sur des textes et des auteurs majeurs, ainsi que sur quelques problemes qui etaient, ou qui restent ... |
