Folklore and Avantgarde: The Reception of Popular Traditions in the Age of Modernism
This publication examines in depth the in-fluence of folkloric traditions on the pioneers of Modernismin the development of their new artistic language. Craft objects and folk art are contrasted with masterpieces by artists of the avant-garde like Josef Albers, Sonia Delaunay, Johannes Itten, Wassily Kandinsky, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Pablo Picasso, Charles Sheeler and Sophie TaeuberArp.
A century after the emergence of Modernism in Europe and America, this standard work aims at a new assessment of the period. Towards the end of the nineteenth century many artists and architects found inspiration in local folk art. Private collectors, museums and artists began to collect and exhibit it. The enthusiasm for traditional craft techniques increased as a result of the threat posed by the rise of industrialisation. The focus in this volume lies on the reception of African, folk and peasant art and textile handicrafts. The phenomenon is discussed by international authors and is demonstrated by means of 350 illustrations.

Lou Reed: The King of New York
The most complete and penetrating biography of the rock master, whose stature grows every year.
Since his death ten years ago, Lou Reed's living presence has only grown. The great rock-poet presided over the marriage of Brill Building pop and the European avant-garde, and left American culture transfigured. In Lou Reed: The King of New York, Will Hermes offers the definitive narrative of Reed's life and legacy, dramatizing his long, brilliant, and contentious dialogue with fans, critics, fellow artists, and assorted habitues of the demimonde.
We witness Reed's complex partnerships with David Bowie, Andy Warhol, John Cale, and Laurie Anderson; track the deadpan wit, street-smart edge, and poetic flights that defined his craft as a singer and songwriter with the Velvet Underground and beyond; and explore the artistic ambition and gift for self-sabotage he took from his mentor Delmore Schwartz.
As Hermes follows Reed from Lower East Side cold-water flats to the landmark status he later achieved, he also tells the story of New York City as a cultural capital. The first biographer to draw on the New York Public Library's much-publicized Reed archive, Hermes employs the library collections, the release of previously unheard recordings, and a wealth of recent interviews to give us a new Lou Reed-a pioneer in living and writing about nonbinary sexuality and gender identity, a committed artist who pursued beauty and noise with equal fervor, and a turbulent and sometimes truculent man whose emotional imprint endures.

The War of Nerves
More than any other conflict, the Cold War was fought on the battlefield of the human mind. And, nearly thirty years since the collapse of the Soviet Union, its legacy still endures - not only in our politics, but in our own thoughts, and fears.
Drawing on a vast array of untapped archives and unseen sources, Martin Sixsmith vividly recreates the tensions and paranoia of the Cold War, framing it for the first time from a psychological perspective. Revisiting towering personalities like Khrushchev, Kennedy and Nixon, as well as the lives of the unknown millions who were caught up in the conflict, this is a gripping account of fear itself - and in today's uncertain times, it is more resonant than ever.

Jean Paul Belmondo
BEBEL neboli BELMONDO. Rozpláclý nos, široký neodolatelný úsměv ve víru vrásek, kukuč šibalského šprýmaře, šaška či klauna, zároveň však image tvrdého a nekompromisního policajta i sympatického zločince nebo romantického hrdiny. To všechno jsou tváře ikony francouzského filmu Jeana-Paula Belmonda. Rebela a rošťáka, hlavní postavy francouzské nové vlny a jednoho z nejznámějších symbolů země galského kohouta dvacátého století, který po dlouhá léta patřil k nejlepším exportním artiklům francouzské kinematografie.
Jeho kouzlo nezasáhlo jen Evropu, ale celý svět. Díky snímku "U konce s dechem" vznikl v roce 1967 Bonnie a Clyde s Warrenem Beattym a Faye Dunawayovou, Quentin Tarantino zase přiznal, že bez Belmonda by nebylo jeho autorské bible Pulp Fiction, natočené v roce 1994.
Za svou padesátiletou profesionální kariéru Jean-Paul natočil víc jak 80 filmů, které navštívilo na 150 milionů diváků po celém světě. Klobouk dolů...
Revoluční snímek U konce s dechem režiséra Jeana-Luca Godarda z roku 1960 odstartoval nejen Belmondovu hvězdnou kariéru, ale i tzv. francouzskou novou vlnu, kterou se později inspirovali i českoslovenští režiséři v čele s Milošem Formanem, Ivanem Passerem, Věrou Chytilovou, Jiřím Menzelem, Jurajem Jakubiskem nebo Jurajem Herzem. Naplno se v něm projevilo Bébelovo charisma a obrovský herecký talent. Ten prokázal ve stoupající míře i v následujících filmech, patřících dnes už do zlatého fondu francouzské i světové kinematografie: Cartouche, Mužové z Ria, Hongkongku a Acapulca, Manželé z roku II, Borsalino, Zvíře, Policajt nebo rošťák, Profesionál, Dobrodruh, Veselé Velikonoce, Bezva finta, Samotář nebo Poloviční šance.
Jeho kariéra i osobní život jsou často srovnávány s vrstevníkem a neméně velkou ikonou francouzského filmu, Alainem Delonem, který byl jeho rivalem, ale nakonec i přítelem. Na plátně se potkali poprvé už v roce 1957 ve filmu Buď hezká a mlč, celkově ale pouze třikrát. Jean-Paul o jejich celoživotním soupeření a vztahu řekl v roce 2018 u příležitosti svých 85. narozenin:
"Povahově různí, ale oba současně bezstarostní a vášnivě zaujatí svým povoláním se stáváme přáteli. A to přesto, že jsme byli protikladní - já veselý a sympatický, on zasmušilý a introvertní. Já klasicky vzdělaný herec, on se stal hercem náhodou."
Zaplaťpámbu za ta slova, vždyť filmové fanoušky jejich roztržka kvůli filmu Borsalino a následující víc jak dvacet let trvající nekomunikace mrzely.
Autorka portrétních knih známých osobností líčí životní peripetie Jeana-Paula Belmonda i v souvislosti s osudy Alaina Delona.
