EL ARTE NO ES TAN HETERO COMO TE CONTARON.El segundo libro de la divulgadora Claramore (Un Van Gogh en el salón) y la primera historia del arte LGTBIQ+ contada como un periódico.Se dice que el arte es la casa de todos, aunque durante siglos se excluyo a quienes no seguian los estandares. Este libro muestra como el colectivo LGTBIQ+ ha transformado el mundo a traves de las artes desde sus inicios hasta la actualidad.Con cada capitulo inspirado en un color distinto de la bandera arcoiris, Claramore explora la obra de artistas como Toulouse Lautrec, Rubens, Hilma af Klimt o Natalie Barney y su impacto en la sexualidad, las disidencias, la salud, el orgullo, la espiritualidad o el racismo a lo largo de la historia. Combinando artes plasticas, fotografia o escultura, Nos recordaran ilumina la capacidad de crear, resistir y brillar mas alla de etiquetas y escandalos.Para cualquiera que haya sentido que no encajaba, que haya buscado referentes y que haya amado fuera de los margenes. Es para ti, que quieres mirar el arte con otros ojos.La historia del arte siempre ha tenido una seria carencia de puntos de vista. Este libro es un desafio necesario para que un panorama mas completo y justo llegue al publico. Miguel Angel Cajigal (El Barroquista)A menudo el arte ha sido un refugio para transmitir lo que la sociedad castigaba. Menos mal que Clara lo saca a la luz para que no olvidemos a quienes vinieron antes. Mikel Herran (PutoMikel)Emociona este paseo por los margenes de la historia del arte. Clara disecciona con soltura todo aquello que nos importa. Bernardo Pajares y Juanra Sanz (Arte Compacto)Sin duda, una lectura imprescindible sobre nuestra memoria colectiva.

National treasure and television pioneer Anneka Rice has had an action-packed career jumping out of helicopters, racing against the clock on Challenge Anneka and inspiring millions with her boundless energy and much-loved jumpsuits. But the daring spirit on screen was forged in a very different kind of challenge.In this candid memoir, Anneka opens up for the first time about the crucible of her unusual childhood, revealing how the crippling loneliness she felt as a child and the teenage years she spent bringing up her baby sister sparked the fierce resilience that would later define her.With her trademark warmth and wit, she shares the vibrant, transformative possibilities that emerged from her arrival, aged nineteen, in Hong Kong on a one-way ticket, knowing no one, and describes the epiphanous moment in a refugee camp in Kowloon that taught her to imagine a life far beyond the one she had left behind.Full of heart, humour and hard-won wisdom, this is an astonishing story of adventure and survival, of personal battles and public triumphs. Its a manual on how to reinvent yourself, throw caution to the wind and take the path full of jeopardy. Its mad, bad and dangerous and should come with a warning: dont try this at home.

Houdini was quick to grasp the concept of entertainer as brand, where fame was an aim in itself. When others stole his act, he published a book of his handcuff secrets and quickly moved on to more extravagant escapes. He arranged many escapes with local merchants in the towns he visited on tour, one of the first examples of mass tie-in marketing, and set up challenges with newspapers.He created his own magazine; became the president of Martinka & Co., Americas oldest magic tricks company; served nine successive terms as president of the Society of American Magicians; created his own unique escapes including the Chinese Water Torture and the Milk Can Escape; launched his own film career in serials and features; and even became the first man to fly in an airplane in Australia! His widespread debunking of fraudulent spiritualist gave him yet another outlet to promote his own fame while pursuing a righteous crusade.Houdini pioneered almost every marketing concept of the 20th century, but didnt live beyond the 20th centurys first quarter, dying on 31 October 1926 in controversial circumstances. This new study by Brian J Robb, timed for the centenary of his death, explores his unique life and position as both escapologist and marketing extraordinaire.

Jerome Charyns Callas springs to life as the headstrong, mercurial, and charismatic artist who captivated generations of fans, thrilling audiences with her brilliant performances and defiant personality.Callas was one of the first divas to come from an impoverished background.
