Sindromul Stendhal: Cum arta ne poate afecta mintea și corpul

Vederea operelor de artă ne poate stârni tot felul de emoții, de la fericirea și venerarea ce se pot ivi când vizităm colecția extinsă de opere plastice ale unui muzeu, până la emoții negative precum mânia și disperarea evocate de anumite picturi ori sculpturi.

Another Misleading Book Cover! I admit to knowing next to nothing about this book other than the title. Although I'm pretty sure it doesn't have anything to do with these two ladies. (Who are, by the way, Valeria Dragova and October Noir; photo by Emma Delves-Broughton, via @angelswearlatex , paperback layout stuff by me). My cover riffs on this terrific original design:

“Voglio ormai raccogliere soltanto i

momenti di felicità.”

Work In Progress! I thought “The Red and the Black” would make a good title for a Misleading Book Cover. In searching for images I ran across this gorgeous Modern Library edition cover, below. Above, my recreation. The type came out pretty well, I couldn’t find an exact match for that ampersand but this one will do even though it’s a bit more ostentatious.
