Far from conventional biography, each piece of this clockwork mechanism reveals how an epiphany or personal catastrophe determines the bond with creation and the path to immortality. A book that probes the cracks in the existence of the great names of art to show that, between the private sphere and the work of art, the vicissitudes of the creative act decide the fate of a masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDaniel Guebel immerses us in a set of clockwork pieces where the key moment in the lives of artistic and literary geniuses marks their relationship with creation. Through thirty-three stories, the author explores how the facts of privacy —affections, losses, frustrations, and conditions of existence— are intertwined with the creative instance. Each story reveals that an artist lives multiple existences: between the private and the created, the adventures surrounding the creative act determine the transcendence of a work and its inscription in the history of art and humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between an artist's private life and their creative process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe decisive moment as an epiphany or catastrophe in artistic creation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe tension between the immortality of the work and the human fragility of the creator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe influence of personal experiences on artistic transcendence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe demystification of the genius as an idealized figure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in contemporary fiction who explore the figure of the artist from an intimate and demystifying perspective.
