A wildly entertaining and surprisingly educational dive into art history as you've never seen it before, from the host of the beloved ArtCurious podcast We're all familiar with the works of Claude Monet, thanks in no small part to the ubiquitous reproductions of his water lilies on umbrellas, handbags, scarves, and dorm-room posters. But did you also know that Monet and his cohort were trailblazing rebels whose works were originally deemed unbelievably ugly and vulgar? And while you probably know the tale of Vincent van Gogh's suicide, you may not be aware that there's pretty compelling evidence that the artist didn't die by his own hand but was accidentally killed--or even murdered. Or how about the fact that one of Andy Warhol's most enduring legacies involves Caroline Kennedy's moldy birthday cake and a collection of toenail clippings? ArtCurious is a colorful look at the world of art history, revealing some of the strangest, funniest, and most fascinating stories behind the world's great artists and masterpieces. Through these and other incredible, weird, and wonderful tales, ArtCurious presents an engaging look at why art history is, and continues to be, a riveting and relevant world to explore.
How can a girl disappear from a 16th century painting? That was the question everyone asked when all of the lights went off for about thirty seconds then returned without the most famous woman in the world, Mona Lisa. Excuse me? What did you say? That the girl painted by Leonardo Da Vinci centuries ago simply disappeared from her own painting! All that was left was a bucolic landscape and a climate of terror and uncertainty in the old City of Lights. It was like she'd never existed! Has it always been a hallucination or centuries of mass hysteria?Amid a Paris on the brink of chaos, the young Detective Marc Lambert must investigate this bizarre event while dealing with another unusual trauma in his life and several threats. It won't be an easy task for the Head of the Art Department, who only has two detectives, just as young as himself, on his side. Bernard German, a clumsy video game addict, and Alicia Faucher, a single mom who bases her decisions on astrology.As in her first disappearance, the whole world's press is interested in the case. Breaking news! Mona Lisa disappeared from her own painting! How is that possible? Barbara Lavigne, a young but renowned reporter, found herself being dragged into this event which defies the laws of physics in order to answer the question no one knows the answer to. Meanwhile, she has to deal with ethical dilemmas, mysterious entities, a thirsty-for-scoops boss, and an immeasurable inner desire to take new directions within journalism, even if it takes her to such strange directions.Strong and organized like Napoleon's armada, the French society is shaken to the core. While there aren't satisfactory explanations, the political class takes advantage of the obscure event to bring the public to their side and throw them against those who let such a tragedy happen."Release the guillotine!"Making hasty conclusions, though, might be dangerous when it comes to Leonardo Da Vinci, as everyone knows his imagination had no limits. For that, the public stands shocked wondering what was behind this incomprehensible event. Would it have been a masterful plan by the greatest painter of all time? A modern artistic intervention like those of the artist Banksy? A more sophisticated robbery than that one carried out by Vicenzo Peruggia one hundred years ago? The result of the sum of time, negligence, and poor conservation? The work of spirits and other powerful beings from another dimension? A divine miracle of those to restore the faith of lost souls? The goodbye of a girl tired of her unintended fame? Or the harbinger of the end of the world in the form of art?Men may come and men may go, mother nature stays forever.How could Mona Lisa disappear without even saying an Au Revoir?
