This new introduction to El Greco (1541-1614) follows the artist
from his native island to Venice, Rome, Madrid, and then Toledo,
the ecclesiastical capital of Spain. El Greco's ability to
assimilate different artistic techniques and approaches to religion
and philosophy enabled him to develop one of the most original
styles of painting in the history of Europe. Despite his highly
successful career he was unappreciated for centuries after his
death, and this book examines how his genius was rediscovered in
the nineteenth century.

Tony Narducci fell in love with Tennessee Williams's poetry when
he was fourteen years old. For Narducci, Williams was the genius
who redefined theater in America, most accomplished modern
playwright, and perhaps one of the greatest artists of the
twentieth century. So when thirty-three-year-old Narducci met
Williams at a Key West bar in February 1982, the encounter was more
than coincidence. It was destiny.
In In the Frightened Heart of Me, Narducci narrates the story of
how, after that first meeting, he was drawn deep into Williams's
life and work-a journey that would change Narducci's life in every
way. Companions until Williams's death in February 1983, this
biography shares how their time together was an odyssey of
adventure, emotional entanglement, and insight.
While providing a glimpse into the Key West of the early 1980s,
In the Frightened Heart of Me blends the events and sorrows of
Williams's last year on earth with Narducci's life-changing story
and the effects of their relationship. It tells how 1983 was the
year Narducci evolved from a floundering, young aspiring artist to
a focused business entrepreneur. It was the year he watched his
literary hero, a titan of literature, become a frightened, dying
old man-and the year AIDS took the lives of many of his loved ones.
It was the year that defined his life.
Author Lynn Barnes admits she's known all along that she'd been
a little different in ways she can't explain. In her memoir, The
Last Exit before the Toll, she examines her life and tries to make
sense of who and what she is and how her being affects her
existence.
She reflects on growing up as an only child and her life now as
a single, surrealist artist and Poe aficionado. Barnes recalls the
events that have greatly impacted her, including the deaths of her
mother and father and the suicide of her best friend, Marc. But it
was the discovery that she has undiagnosed Asperger's syndrome that
helped piece together the puzzle that has been her life and allowed
her to come to terms with the troubling personality traits she has
experienced all her life.
An insightful and creative look at Barnes's life, The Last Exit
before the Toll provides a glimpse into the sometimes frustrating
and unknown world of someone who lives with Asperger's
syndrome.
For years, I have wanted to write a book about the relentless
determination it takes to succeed in the arts. Whether as a young
artist in New York City, as a music coordinator of a Broadway
musical, or as a musician traveling through Europe, I will share
with you excitement, acclaim, and culture. Onward and Upward is the
true account of my pursuit of a dream; a career in music. In this
around-the-world journey, I share my stories of culture, family,
laughter, friendship, wisdom, and heartache, with a generous splash
of the likes of Strauss, motorcycle chases, and Hollywood. Any
aspiring artist, would-be world traveler, or entrepreneur, will
benefit from reading this book. Learn from another's experience
about dedication, passion, and culture. Partly by means of
behind-the-scene memoirs, partly by means of journal entries, we
will walk hand in hand on this most extraordinary journey through a
life in the arts.
In collaboration with the artist's foundations and family, YSP is
proud to present the first major UK exhibition of sculpture by Joan
Miro, one of Europe's most important 20th century artists. The
exhibition describes the extraordinary wealth of Miro's sculpture,
much of which was made in the second half of his life. With key
works set in the landscape, the exhibition fulfils the artist's
desire that sculpture must stand in the open air, in the middle of
nature. YSP publication to accompany the Miro: Sculptor exhibition.
The fully illustrated catalogue features texts by the artist's
grandson Emilio Fernandez Miro, Pilar Ortega Chapel from the
Successio Miro, poet and art critic Jacques Dupin and Peter Murray
CBE. Exhibition photography by Jonty Wilde"
