Why were there so many suicidal artists, from the Renaissance to the 20th century? What led many creators to obsessively portray themselves, anticipating the selfie of the 21st century by centuries? What social networks would the Baroque painters have used if they had lived in our days? Why did the representation of female pubic hair create rejection in millennia of history? What provokes the repudiation of a work of art in a certain historical context and provokes its triumph in a later period? What moves someone to attack a painting or a sculpture? Why were the scandalous facets of many creators, their violent tendencies, their deceptions silenced? What prevented the representation of reality when the flag of decorum was raised, ignoring that Christ was crucified naked, or that he had a childhood like that of other children? When did art die? With Marcel Duchamp's toilet? Or with Manzoni's canned feces? The history of Art hides numerous aspects, omitted facts and silenced details that make up this parallel encyclopedia, in which women - forgotten for centuries - have a place, the diseases suffered by the creators, or the thousand and one circumstances that usually go unnoticed in manuals that continue to maintain a nineteenth-century, academic and partial conception of the study of art.
