Werner Herzog
Herman Munster
Took a liberty here choosing surname instead of first name. It was an association with the Munster character.
Edvard Munch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHK-d7ToTOI (long but interesting)
Very interesting analysis of "The Scream"; enjoyed.
Mary Shelley... https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poe...ecraft-shelley
Loved this complete biography of Mary Shelley. Read her novel of the "poor, lone, impossible, abhorr´d monster", but nothing else.

Bruno Barreto
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_.../Bruno_Barreto
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reachi...on_(2013_film) (His film about Elisabeth Bishop and Lota)
Bad link but I sorted it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Barreto . I've seen most of the movie (I missed the end) and studied Bishop's poetry and life to a moderate extent.
Ben Kingsley... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...j5OSoybLYzYpuA (I still haven't seen "Gandhi" yet, nor "Schindler's List"... have seen him in other stuff; especially liked him in the film "Ender's Game")
Sorry for the bad link on Barreto. I saw the film but the end was depressing.
Krzysztof Kieslowsky

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dekalog
Interesting quote from wikipedia: "He decided that fiction not only allowed more artistic freedom, but could portray everyday life more truthfully." I was not aware of his work.

Hannah Arendt

Anilda Leão... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anilda_Leão
Thanks, Tailor, great discovery. I've never heard about her, though I must have seen her in two films as actress (in a very modest role as she isn´t named in the cast).
Lygia Fagundes Telles

She is now 92 and lives here in São Paulo, I think

Gottfried Keller

Found this English translation of one of his poems I enjoyed: http://www.bartleby.com/177/98.html
Karla Kelsey... https://www.susqu.edu/academics/facu...c/karla-kelsey
I liked it too. I had forgotten that he also wrote poetry. He is famous for his Seldvyla stories.

Oswald de Andrade

Enjoyable to read. The pun "tupi or not tupi ?" was quite funny.
Andrea Zanzotto... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_Zanzotto
I liked the biography.His father must have been a remarkable person too.

Erich Kästner
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_K%C3%A4stner
I've heard of "Emil and the Detectives' but have never read it. "In 1932 Kästner wrote Der 35. Mai (The 35th of May), which is set in a fantasy land entered via a wardrobe and includes futuristic features such as mobile phones." Apparently his wardrobe predates "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe" (1950). "Das doppelte Lottchen" - "The Parent Trap"... amazing. WWII: Berlin, Dresden !, I can't imagine.
Katherine Paterson... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katherine_Paterson
Enjoyed the poem. 27 nominations/12 years nominated for a Nobel (if I understand correctly) without a nod: http://www.nobelprize.org/nomination...le.php?id=9496 . I will have to look into his Cahiers.
Vijay Seshadri... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vijay_Seshadri

Interesting poem by Vijay.
