Szendrey Júlia élete, naplója, levelei és halálos ágyán tett vallomása
Petőfi Sándor özvegye a rásütött hűtlenség billogával élte le rövid életét, megküzdve szerelme elvesztésén túl azzal a teherrel is, hogy bár nőként és családanyaként akart létezni, szembe kellett néznie a költőt istenítő magyar írótársadalom, a politikusok, és ugyanúgy a közemberek ítéletével. Nem is bírta sokáig, 39 évesen elhunyt.
A Szendrey Júliát valóságos és teljes valójában bemutató könyv majd száz éve várja, hogy fellapozzák. Részleteket már kaptunk belőle, de hosszú időnek kellett eltelnie egy olyan új társadalom létrejöttéig, amelyben a romantikus hős bálványozásánál fontosabb a történelem racionális megközelítése, az igazság lehető legteljesebb feltárása.
Szendrey Júlia naplóját önmagának írta. Felemelő érzés olvasni a sorait. De ez a könyv nemcsak az ő írásait, leveleit tárja elénk. Oldalain olyan eseménykrónikát, feljegyzéseket is olvashatunk, amelyekből Petőfi Sándor tragikus halálának körülményeit is megismerjük. Nem csoda, hogy ez a könyv nem került nyomdába ennyi éven át, hiszen a nagy költőt boldognak, élőnek akartuk tudni, akár a messzi Szibériában, nem pedig vérbe fagyva a csatamezőn.
Júlia kálváriája nem Petőfi elvesztésével kezdődik, hanem a költő iránt fellobbanó szerelmével, hiszen szülei ellenezték a házasságot, de hite elég erős volt, hogy legyőzze a kételkedőket. Tudta, érezte: ők ketten rokonlelkek. Alig háromévnyi házasságot kapott cserébe, igaz, hírnevet is, aminek élete során csak a hátrányát érezte. Szerelme a későbbi megpróbáltatásokkal sem hunyt ki, ahogy Bethlen Margit grófnő gyönyörűen megfogalmazta: "hogyha Petőfi visszatérne a síri világból az özvegyi fátyolért, melyet szerelmese hűtlenül eldobott, nem találná fejfájára akasztva, mert Júlia, bár levette azt fejéről, a lelkét burkolta belé, és az azóta is ott van, elsötétítve körülötte a világot."

Musíme všichni někam na poušť
V životě básníka, grafika a překladatele Bohuslava Reynka patřilo přátelství s Janem Franzem mezi ty nejintenzivnější a nejniternější. Přestože byl Jan Franz, náročný literární kritik, překladatel a esejista, o osmnáct let mladší, vzniklo mezi nimi silné pouto, které přelomila až předčasná Franzova smrt (na válečné útrapy) v roce 1946. Oba spolu od počátku 30. let vedli korespondenční dialog, navzájem si hodnotili tvorbu a podporovali se v nelehkých chvílích. Navíc oba dva silně spojovalo jejich vysočinské venkovanství. Reynek žil v Petrkově u Havlíčkova Brodu, Franz (po studiích na pražské filozofické fakultě) často pobýval v rodném Jitkově u Havlíčkovy Borové. Kniha Musíme všichni někam na poušť představí příběh jejich neobyčejného přátelství, zpřístupní vzájemnou korespondenci, včetně dosud neznámých fotografií a archivních dokumentů. Edičně knihu připravil spisovatel Miloš Doležal, který se dlouhodobě věnuje odkazu obou mužů a graficky upravil Luboš Drtina. Kniha je vydávána u příležitosti 50. výročí smrti Bohuslava Reynka, tedy k 28. září 2021.
Hokusai's Fuji
A wonderfully illustrated exploration of one of Hokusai’s key motifs: Mount Fuji.
Katsushika Hokusai’s Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji and the three volumes of his subsequent One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji show his fascination with a single motif: Mount Fuji. Hokusai’s near-obsession with Fuji was part of his hankering after artistic immortality. In Buddhist and Daoist tradition, this mountain was thought to hold the secret to eternal life, as one popular interpretation of its name suggests: fu-shi (“not death”).
Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji was produced from 1830 to 1832, when Hokusai was in his seventies and at the height of his career. Among the prints are three of the artist’s most famous: The Great Wave of Kanagawa; Fine Wind, Clear Morning; and Thunderstorm Beneath the Summit. By the time he created his second great tribute to Mount Fuji, three volumes comprising One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji, he was using the artist names “Gakyo Rojin” (“old man crazy for painting”) and “Manji” (“ten thousand things” or “everything”). Contrasting the mountain’s steadfastness and solidity with the changing world around it, Hokusai depicts Fuji through different seasons, weather conditions, and settings, and in so doing communicates an important message: while life changes, Fuji stands still.
Including all illustrations from these two masterful series, Hokusai’s Fuji also features many of Hokusai’s earlier renditions of the mountain, as well as later paintings. In this way, through Mount Fuji, this volume traces a history of Hokusai’s oeuvre.

Seth - On Walls
Seth: On Walls collects the colorful, visual universe of a globe-trotting street artist who paints with purpose.
For street artist Seth, walls around the world have been canvases for resilience, a space where imagination and real-life encounters become murals of expression, dialogue, and community. Children are often a part of his work, taking him—and us—through city streets on a poetic discovery of their universe, like the rabbit hole into which Lewis Carroll’s Alice plunges.
Seth: On Walls is an insightful, visual exploration of a decade of his travels and the paintings he created in locations such as the working-class districts of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and the war-torn Donbas region of Ukraine. Drawing inspiration from local myths, legends, and tales, and often collaborating with other artists, Seth works within the social, political, and cultural contexts of the places he visits. Through an emphasized mixture of murals and photography, Seth captures the story of a multidimensional globe that is simultaneously fascinating and under threat.
Although his work consists mostly of paintings, the photography he shares not only immortalizes the ephemerality and memory of his work but also conveys the spirit of the place and the relationship between the artwork and its environment. Seth: On Walls is a delicate illustration of the beauty and shadows of the world we live in.

Monets Minutes
A stunning exploration of the vital links between Claude Monet’s Impressionism and the time technologies that helped define modernity in the nineteenth century.
Monet’s Minutes is a revelatory account charting the relationship between the works of Claude Monet (1840–1926)?founder of French Impressionism and one of the world’s best-known painters?and the modern experience of time. André Dombrowski illuminates Monet’s celebration of instantaneity in the context of the late nineteenth-century time technologies that underwrote it.
Monet’s version of Impressionism demonstrated an acute awareness of the particularly modern pressures of time, but until now scholars have not examined the histories and technologies of time and timekeeping that informed Impressionism’s major stylistic shifts. Arguing that the fascination with instantaneity rejected the dulling cultures of newly routinized and standardized time, Monet’s Minutes traces the evolution of Monet’s art to what were then seismic shifts in the shape of time itself.
In each chapter, Dombrowski focuses on the connections between a set of Monet’s works and a specific technology or experience of time, while providing the voices of period critics responding to Impressionism. Grounded in exceptional research and analyses, this book offers new interpretations of key paintings by Monet and a fresh perspective on late nineteenth-century art, society, and modern temporality.

Frida Kahlo. 40th Ed.
Among the few women artists who have transcended art history, none had a meteoric rise quite like Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907–1954). Her unmistakable face, depicted in over fifty extraordinary self-portraits, has been admired by generations; along with hundreds of photographs taken by notable artists such as Manuel and Lola Álvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray, and Martin Munkácsi, they made Frida Kahlo an iconic image of 20th century art.
After an accident in her early youth, Frida became a painter of her own free will. Her marriage to Diego Rivera in 1929 placed her at the forefront of an artistic scene not only in the cultural Renaissance of Mexico, but also in the United States. Her work garnered praise from the poet André Breton, who added the Mexican painter to the ranks of international surrealism and exhibited her work in Paris in 1939 to the admiration of Picasso, Kandinsky, and Duchamp.
We access the intimacy of Frida’s affections and passions through a selection of drawings, pages from her personal diary, and an extensive illustrated biography featuring photos of Frida, Diego, and the Casa Azul, Frida’s home and the center of her universe.
This book allows readers to admire Frida Kahlo’s paintings like never before, including unprecedented detail shots and famous photographs. It presents pieces in private collections and reproduces works that were previously lost or have not been exhibited for more than 80 years.

Picasso in Fontainebleau
This publication and the accompanying exhibition are the first to reunite major works from Picasso’s studio in Fontainebleau, France, in over 100 years.
Between July and September of 1921, in a rented villa in the town of Fontainebleau, France, Pablo Picasso created an astonishingly varied body of work. Published to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, that reunites these works for the first time since they left the artist’s studio, Picasso in Fontainebleau presents both monumental versions of Three Musicians and Three Women at the Spring alongside other major works on canvas, small preparatory paintings, line drawings, etchings, and pastels he created in Fontainebleau. Encompassing both Cubist and classic academic styles, these works are complemented by never-before-seen photographs and archival documents. An introductory essay by curator Anne Umland examines the critical issues that distinguish Picasso's Fontainebleau oeuvre, and is followed by 15 short essays co-authored by curators and conservators that offer art historical analysis of groups of closely related works and object-based insights into materials, structures, and processes. By investigating Picasso’s decision to paint simultaneously in seemingly opposite styles, Picasso in Fontainebleau emphasizes the interconnectedness of his process and practice, and his ability to disrupt expectations of artistic evolution and stylistic consistency.

Takashi Murakami
This fresh look at artist Takashi Murakami takes on the “monstrous” themes of rampant consumerism, human fallibility, and the perils of life in the digital fast lane, in works from the past decade.
One of Japan’s leading contemporary artists, Takashi Murakami (b. 1962) is known for a wide-ranging practice that encompasses not only fine art but fashion, consumer products, curation, and entertainment. Founder of the Superflat movement, Murakami makes art that is larger than life, boldly colored, and buoyant, with a Pop sensibility that draws inspiration from anime and manga.
But beyond the happy flowers and kawaii characters that have defined Murakami’s career lurk darker manifestations: the sharp-toothed, multi-eyed monsters that have increasingly become the artist’s vehicle for expressing the effects of rampant consumerism, human fallibility, and the perils of life in the digital fast lane. This book explores these themes in works from the last decade, presenting a disquieting vision of monsterized beings born in an era of unprecedented environmental, political, and social turmoil.
Conversations with Murakami and essays by Laura W. Allen, Hiroko Ikegami, and Masako Shiba deconstruct what monsters mean to the artist and reflect on new directions in Murakami’s sculpture and the genesis of his recent NFT projects. The book features lavish color illustrations, a plastic jacket, dyed edges, and four gatefolds.
