"От Танхойзер до Шумахер" предлага двадесет размишления върху певците на любовта, приказката като щастие, човека и неговата сянка, безделниците и мечтателите, изтичащото време, монолозите срещу света, цветовете на надеждата, живота под принуда, гнева и младостта, модерната пустош, играта като съдба. Тези есета, събрани в юбилейната 75 -та година на автора, са възникнали в продължителното му общуване с творбите на значими немски писатели от минали времена до наши дни.

Vincent van Gogh's story is one of the most ironic in art history. Today, he is celebrated the world over as one of the most important painters of all time, recognized with sell-out shows, feted museums, and record prices of tens of millions of dollars at auction. Yet as he was painting the canvases that would subsequently become these sell-out modern masterpieces, van Gogh was battling not only the disinterest of his contemporary audiences but also devastating bouts of mental illness, with episodes of depression and paralyzing anxiety which would eventually claim his life in 1890, when he committed suicide shortly ... |

As with many seminal art movements, the critics got their comeuppance. Today, Impressionism is close contender for the world's favorite period of painting. With blockbuster exhibitions, record-breaking auction prices, and packed museums, the works once dismissed as unfinished or imprecise are now beloved for their ... |
