Colours of Art takes the reader on a journey through history via 80 carefully curated artworks and their palettes. For these pieces, colour is not only a tool (like a paintbrush or a canvas) but the fundamental secret to their success. Colour allows artists to express their individuality, evoke certain moods and portray positive or negative subliminal messages. And throughout history the greatest of artists have experimented with new pigments and new technologies to lead movements and deliver masterpieces. But as something so cardinal, we sometimes forget how poignant colour palettes can be, and how much they can tell us. When Vermeer painted The Milkmaid, the amount of ultramarine he could use was written in the contract. How did that affect how he used it? When Turner experimented with Indian Yellow, he captured roaring flames that brought his paintings to life. If he had used a more ordinary yellow, would he have created something so extraordinary? And how did Warhol throw away the rulebook to change what colour could achieve? Structured chronologically, Colours of Art provides a fun, intelligent and visually engaging look at the greatest artistic palettes in art history – from Rafael’s use of perspective and Vermeer’s ultramarine, to Andy Warhol’s hot pinks and Lisa Brice’s blue women. Colours of Art offers a refreshing take on the subject and acts as a primer for artists, designers and art lovers who want to look at art history from a different perspective.

Im Kontext der Wirtschaftskrise wird die Wichtigkeit einer verantwortungsvollen und nachhaltigen Unternehmensführung und -überwachung der börsennotierten Aktiengesellschaften in der politischen und rechtlichen Diskussion immer wieder betont. Im Vordergrund steht die Forderung nach krisenfesten Corporate Governance-Prinzipien und wirksamen Kontroll- und Sanktionsmechanismen, wobei stets auf die richtige Balance zwischen Selbstregulierung des Kapitalmarktes und gesetzlicher bzw. staatlicher Regulierung geachtet werden soll. Dabei spielen die nationalen Corporate Governance-Kodizes als soft law -Mechanismen eine zentrale Rolle. Chloé Lignier untersucht die Gemeinsamkeiten und Konvergenzen der Referenz-Kodizes in Deutschland und Frankreich und hinterfragt die Möglichkeit einer Rechtsangleichung bzw. Rechtsvereinheitlichung. Ferner befasst sie sich mit den de lege lata bestehenden Rechtswirkungen eines Verstoßes gegen die Entsprechenserklärung in den deutschen und französischen Rechtsordnungen. Schließlich werden die Perspektiven de lege ferenda dargestellt und vor allem die Frage der Sanktionswürdigkeit eines Verstoßes gegen die Entsprechenserklärung diskutiert.

A shocking and unputdownable exposé of the United States meat industry and the growing disappointment of alternative meat producers that “is required reading for anyone who eats” (Christopher Leonard, New York Timesbestselling author). Well before COVID-19 swept across the United States and the chairman of Tyson Foods infamously declared that the food supply chain was dangerously vulnerable, America’s meat industry was reaching a breaking point. Years of consolidation, price-fixing, and power grabs by elite industry insiders have harmed consumers and caused environmental destruction. And while that’s hurting us, it’s also making others rich. Now, financial journalist Chloe Sorvino presents a “deeply informed and eye-opening” (Publishers Weekly) look at the meat industry and its future as its fundamental weaknesses are laid bare for all to see.
