Nach „Frauen; die aus Zügen schauen“ blickt Guido Popp in seinen neuen Erzählungen und Glossen wieder in gewohnt liebevoll-ironischer Manier auf seine Umwelt. Diesmal zieht er den Kunst- und Literaturbetrieb durch den Kakao; die Medienwelt kommt ebenfalls nicht ungeschoren davon. Aber auch sonst ist für reichlich gute Unterhaltung gesorgt: Mal schildert er misslungene Flirts, und mal beschert er uns in einer galaktischen Achterbahn einen gehörigen Schwindelanfall. Seien Sie dabei, wenn Tief- und Schwachsinn sich die Klinke in die Hand geben!
All Joseph wants is to be let into Tartuffe's world. All Ettie wants is to escape it. The year is 1920. The place is a remote farmhouse in Provence, home to the reclusive painter Edouard Tartuffe and his niece, Ettie. Into this strange, silent house walks Joseph: a young journalist hoping to write an article about Tartuffe. But the more he entangles himself in the peculiar household, the more Joseph's curiosity grows . . . Ettie cooks and cleans for her uncle. She prepares his studio, scrubs his paintbrushes, and creates the perfect environment for him to work. She has never gone further than the local village. She is sharp-eyed and watchful. But beneath her cool exterior, Joseph senses something simmering. Ettie, Joseph and Tartuffe circle each other throughout the hot, crackling summer, until finally they collide. The Artist is about two people grabbing the other by the hand and pulling each other into life.

KNV Besorgung The Artist's Complete Guide to Drawing the Head A1003057695
In this innovative guide, master art instructor William Maughan demonstrates how to create a realistic human likeness by using the classic and highly accurate modeling technique of chiaroscuro (Italian for “light and dark”) developed by Leonardo da Vinci during the High Renaissance. Maughan first introduces readers to the basics of this centuries-old technique, showing how to analyze form, light, and shadow; use dark pencil, white pencil, and toned paper to create a full range of values; use the elements of design to enhance a likeness; and capture a sitter’s gestures and proportions. He then demonstrates, step by step, how to draw each facial feature, develop visual awareness, and render the head in color with soft pastels.
