TÜRK SANAT MÜZİĞİ - The Turkish art music, one of the greatest art musics in the world.

Kunstenaars maakten tekeningen als ontwerp voor andere kunstwerken, om afzonderlijke motieven te bestuderen, om herinneringen vast te leggen, om een repertorium van studiemateriaal aan te leggen… Soms waren tekeningen ook autonome kunstwerken.

A guide to the art, artists, and culture of graffiti from the 1970s to today, as told by the taggers themselves

Ab Mitte der 1940er Jahre, als Reaktion auf die erschütternden Nachrichten über den Holocaust und die anderen Gräueltaten des 2. Weltkriegs, schuf George Grosz seine letzte große Werkreihe, bestehend aus Gemälden und Aquarellen: die "Stick Men".
