Our simplest words are often the deepest in meaning: birth‚ kiss‚ flight‚ dream. The sculptor Constantin Brancusi spent his life searching for forms as simple and pure as those words—forms that seem to have existed forever‚ outside of time. Born a peasant in a remote village in Romania‚ he spent most of his adult life in Paris‚ where he lived in a single small room adjoining a skylit studio.

Damien Steven Hirst (born June 7‚ 1965‚ Bristol‚ Eng.)‚ British assemblagist‚ painter‚ and conceptual artist whose deliberately provocative art addresses vanitas and beauty‚ death and rebirth‚ and medicine‚ technology‚ and mortality.

When she abandoned hope in her daily life‚ Kahlo embedded her despair within paintings‚ which‚ by virtue of their very existence‚ act as the artist’s envoys in search of salvation‚ or something like it. At times archaizing and romantic‚ at times brutally immediate‚ Kahlo’s subjects impose stasis on history

Which of us has his desire? Or having it‚ is satisfied?". In other words‚ how the characters in this novel are driven by material things‚ greed‚ snobbery‚ deceit and hypocrisy. The initial situation
