Bobby Goldsboro describes the first song he ever wrote with a laugh as "one of the worst you've ever heard". Though those first attempts at songwriting weren't exactly successful, he went on to enjoy a wildly successful career, including the chart-topping hit "Honey", which sold more than a million copies in the United States. At the height of his popularity in 1973, Goldsboro sat down with Wink Martindale to discuss his wildly successful career, that included 16 top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Bobby Vinton says he never wanted to be a musician; he wanted to be a football player instead. In fact, his parents would bribe him 25 cents an hour just to get him to practice his clarinet. Vinton sat down with Wink Martindale in 1973 to discuss his success with "Blue on Blue" and the story behind "Roses are Red". He says writing songs is difficult, and he isn't sure who is buying his albums. Vinton also discusses putting together a pop music band in high school and how he began his acting career.

Patti Page's music provided a soothing counterpoint to the revolutionary sound of rock n' roll in the 1950s, incorporating elements of country music into traditional pop songs.

Page sat down with host Wink Martindale to discuss her personal life, the early days of her career, and her astounding popular success.

While she continued to receive scholarships and praise for her vocal performances, dancing was what she wanted to pursue and she continued to pay for lessons.

G. Eric Kuskey, former colleague of Thomas Kinkade and close friend until the artist's death in 2012, tells Kinkade's story for the first time, from his art's humble beginnings on a sidewalk in Carmel, California, to his five-house compound in Monte Sereno. It's a tale of addiction and grief, of losing control, and ultimately, of the price of our dreams.

The lives of many famous artists have been shrouded in mystery and conjecture, but none have been more controversial than the life of Vincent van Gogh. Remembered for his swirling brushstrokes and burning colors, Vincent van Gogh is today one of the best-known painters. Though his career as a painter spanned less than ten years, he produced a body of work that remains one of the most enduring in all of modern art. In his lifetime, however, he received little recognition. Today his paintings sell for countless millions, yet during his lifetime, van Gogh managed to sell just one painting.

He's been called "America's greatest living tailor" and "the most interesting man in the world." Now, for the first time, Holocaust survivor Martin Greenfield tells his whole, incredible life story.

In haunting, powerful prose, Greenfield remembers his desperation and fear as a teenager alone in the death camp.

Creazione, business, cultura, comunicazione: sono fra le dimensioni costitutive della moda, che ne spiegano il carattere in perenne trasformazione. Se da una parte essa deve adeguarsi alle esigenze del mercato globale, dall'altra deve conservare quelle qualità e quegli immaginari che rendono ogni pezzo straordinario e desiderabile.

Master Italian sculptor, goldsmith, and writer Benvenuto Cellini is best remembered for his magnificent autobiography. In this work, which was actually begun in 1558 but not published until 1730, Cellini beautifully chronicles his flamboyant times. He tells of his adventures in Italy and France, and his relations with popes, kings, and fellow artists.

La "Flagellazione di Cristo" è uno dei più noti e importanti lavori di Piero della Francesca, uno degli artisti più importanti del Rinascimento italiano. Figura chiave del passaggio all'arte moderna, Piero della Francesca rimase per tutta la vita al centro di un triangolo ideale composto da attenzione prospettica, solida plasticità e uso supremo della luce.

"Invece di cercare di rendere esattamente ciò che ho davanti agli occhi, mi servo del colore in modo più arbitrario per esprimermi con intensità." Così parla Van Gogh della sua arte. Notte stellata è una rielaborazione di spunti reali, ricordi e immaginazione che crea esiti di sorprendente originalità.

"Le Muse inquietanti" è uno dei più noti e importanti lavori di Giorgio De Chirico, pittore metafisico che operò agli inizi del Novecento, famoso per le sue vaste piazze deserte dai colori accesi e per i misteriosi manichini che le abitano. De Chirico è, insieme a Carlo Carrà, il fondatore del "genere" metafisico, che indica una pittura di evocazione letteraria e di suggestione figurativa, un trattamento magico e scenografico che fu il prototipo per il surrealismo francese di qualche anno più tardi.

Notes from the Sick Room is an investigation into the connections between physical illness and creativity. Although there are a number of books investigating mental illness and creativity, there are very few that concentrate on physical illness - cancer, HIV, tuberculosis and disabilities caused by accidents. Incapacity provides time for contemplation and creativity, yet pain and discomfort detract from inspiration.

Molti furono i pittori dell'età vittoriana che s'ispirarono ai drammi di Shakespeare, ma nessun artista affrontò il tema della tragedia di Ophelia con l'originalità e la sensibilità di Millais. In questo capolavoro, l'artista si muove tra la concretezza naturalistica degna di un botanico e l'espressione di sentimenti sì potenti, ma resi con la pacatezza di cui solo un grande poeta è capace. Gli audioquadri Area51 Publishing sono un nuovo modo di conoscere, amare e godere l'arte.

Autoritratto con cappello di feltro è uno dei quadri più famosi di Vincent Van Gogh. Fa parte della cospicua produzione di autoritratti ai quali l'artista affida un tentativo di dialogo che non può, né riesce, a intraprendere con nessun altro se non con se stesso, uno strenuo tentativo di fuoriuscire dalla solitudine esistenziale che pare essere senza scampo. Egli cerca nella figura riflessa attraverso lo specchio le ragioni più profonde della propria sofferenza, fino a imprimerle indelebilmente sulla tela.

Oro, incenso e mirra: questi sono i doni offerti dai Magi nello splendido dipinto incompiuto di Leonardo da Vinci: l'Adorazione dei Magi. Il tema dell'adorazione dei magi era uno motivi pittorici più frequenti tra gli ar-tisti fiorentini, ma Leonardo ne fece una versione davvero rivoluzionaria.

La Cappella degli Scrovegni è uno dei più importanti monumenti di Padova e indubbiamente il capolavoro del genio fiorentino, che per primo "dipinse le emozioni". Sotto commissione della famiglia Scrovegni, all'inizio del Trecento - secolo di transizione e grande cambiamenti artistico e sociale dopo l'oscurità del Medioevo, Giotto dipinse le storie della vita di Cristo con magistrale perfezione e grande visione strutturale.
