Marc
A blueprint for Expressionism Printmaker Franz Marc s short life fueled the rise of German Expressionism Printmaker, landscape painter, and cofounder of Der Blaue Reiter ( The Blue Rider ), Franz Marc (1880 1916) left an exceptional legacy in German Expressionism. His work absorbed influences including Paul Gauguin, van Gogh, Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Robert Delaunay to galvanize a new vocabulary of form and color. Especially keen on depictions of animals, Marc s work began emphasizing cubist, semi-abstracted shapes; frenetic, whirling compositions; and in his paintings, a new vocabulary of color. Marc located spiritual values in different shades. Blue was spirituality and masculinity. Yellow depicted femininity and joy. Red hues correlated to anger and violence. It was with his friend and peer Wassily Kandinsky that Marc founded Der Blaue Reiter, a loose band of artists connected by a shared interest in woodcuts and prints, the symbolic values of color, and spontaneous approaches to painting. The group was short-lived, dissolving with the onset of the First World War which would also claim Marc s life in 1916 but it set an Expressionist standard that would flourish for decades. In this new edition in TASCHEN s popular Basic Art series, we meet this pivotal figure of German art and explore his short but hugely accomplished career, which at once defined an era and set an enduring point of Expressionist reference.About the series: Each book in TASCHEN s Basic Art series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions"

Matys Martin & Rough Kenny - 20000 mil pod morom CD
KDO: Martin Matys je jedním ze slovenských reprezentantů hiphopového labelu TyNikdy. Začínal v roce 2012 jako součást uskupení Slow Flow, od roku 2015 už působí jako sólista. Než přešel pod značku TyNikdy, kde vydal ceněný eponymní debut (nominace na ceny rádia FM), natočil několik singlů. Na albovém projektu Dropbox spolupracoval se slovenským kolegou Prezidentem Lourajderem a Ideou, šéfem TyNikdy.
CO: Původně mělo vzniknout jen několik tracků jako digitální EP. Matys a Kenny Rough, který producentsky jistí zejména libereckou rapovou hvězdu Paulieho Garanda, si však umělecky porozuměli a natočili plnohodnotné album. Podíleli se na něm i zvuční hosté, např. Idea, Renne Dang, slovenští kolegové Supa a Boy Wonder nebo zmíněný Paulie Garand. Silně osobní nahrávku Matys avizuje singlem Home Alone.

Putney
'Among the hottest books of this blazing summer' (Daily Telegraph): a bold, lushly written novel that will compel and disquiet in equal measure
It is the 1970s and Ralph, an up-and-coming composer, is visiting Edmund Greenslay at his riverside home in Putney to discuss a collaboration. Through the house's colourful rooms and unruly garden flits nine-year-old Daphne - dark, teasing, slippery as mercury, more sprite than boy or girl. From the moment their worlds collide, Ralph is consumed by an obsession to make Daphne his.
But Ralph is twenty-five and Daphne is only a child, and even in the bohemian abandon of 1970s London their fast-burgeoning relationship must be kept a secret. It is not until years later that Daphne is forced to confront
the truth of her own childhood - and an act of violence that has lain hidden for decades.
Putney is a bold, thought-provoking novel about the moral lines we tread, the stories we tell ourselves and the memories that play themselves out again and again, like snatches of song.

Spiroglyphics: Rock Heroes
Spiroglyphics are a totally original idea from the twisted mind of genius puzzle-designer Thomas Pavitte!
Spiroglyphics are even more incredible than anything he has done before. At first glance, spiroglyphics appear to be nothing but simple spirals. But if you look a little closer you'll see that the spiroglyphics are in fact two spirals, joined at the middle, and varying subtly in width as they wind to the centre. It's only when you pick up a pen and start to colour them that they come alive.
As you fill in the lines you'll find yourself creating surprising, eye-popping portraits of musical icons such as:
· David Bowie
· Michael Jackson
· Amy Winehouse
· Beyoncé
· Elton John
Fun to create and amazing to look at, the Spiroglyphics will blow your mind, and make amazing artworks for your wall!
