Lacná kniha Martin Gerboc - Une Saison en Enfer (-70%)
Monografická publikace, představující výběr z více jak dvacetiletého malířského díla Martina Gerboce (1971), odkazuje ve svém názvu ke knize Arthura Rimbauda Une saison en enfer a podobně jako v poezii prokletého básníka kontrastuje krása a ošklivost, v Gerbocově díle stojí děs po boku rozkoši. Právě hranice, kde se obě charakteristiky stýkají, je pro Gerboce místem, kde setrvává, je jím fascinován a zkoumá je coby nebezpečnou zónu samoty a strachu. Výrazovým prostředkem je mu punková estetika ošklivosti nebo ještě lépe estetika terorismu, která svou otevřeností vyvolává nejdříve odpor a nevoli, je však ve své záhadnosti přitažlivá. Téměř monochromní barevnost odkazuje na barvy těla, jeho vnějšek i vnitřek, krev, kůži, sliznice, oheň i hnilobu. Tematicky se Gerboc obrací k berlínskému kabaretu dvacátých a třicátých let minulého století - tavícímu kotlíku dekadentních kulturních tradic střední Evropy, dále k pornografii a sexualitě versus erotizujícím náboženským motivům či obrazům Francisca Goyi. Umělcova tvorba je často odrazem několika souběžně probíhajících dějů. Divák v tomto osobním střetu čelí svému vlastnímu podvědomí, skrytým touhám a zakázaným rozkoším. Kniha vychází v dvoujazyčném anglicko-českém vydání.
