Мюсюлмани и християни, майстори и роби, хора и животни, ден след ден. Но Истанбул е град на бързата забрава. Всичко се пише върху вода, с изключение на творбите на Майстора. Те са от камък. Под един от тези камъни скрих тайна. Мина много време, но може да е още там и да чака някой да я намери. А ако я открият, дали ще я ... |

Futurism's place in art history is as ambivalent as it is important. The movement pioneered revolutionary methods to convey movement, light, and speed, but sparks controversy in its glorification of war and fascist politics. Their frenzied, ... |
