Book of Earth
Art meets science in this guide to creating color with earth’s extraordinary pigments and exploring their fascinating uses today and throughout history
Part anthropological study, part art book, and part how-to, Book of Earth immerses you in the world of ochre, a naturally occurring mineral used to make pigment. Each chapter delves into author Heidi Gustafson’s rare pigment archive and provides a thorough exploration of natural color, while challenging our notions of the inanimate world. The book includes practical advice and techniques for creating your own pigments and applying these skills in everyday life.
Called the “ochre whisperer” by American Craft, and noted as the “woman archiving the world’s ochre,” in the New York Times, her personal collection of more than 600 pigments from around the planet is a unique treasure, and her passion and field experience will captivate you from the first page to the last.
Saturn a Melancholie
Kniha Saturn a melancholie je dnes již kultovním textem propojujícím dějiny umění, duchovní dějiny a dějiny kultury. Tato kniha, která se zrodila z tradice založené německým historikem umění Aby Warburgem, od svého prvního vydání v angličtině v roce 1964 hluboce ovlivnila chápání vzájemných vztahů mezi humanitními obory. Trojice autorů – Ryamond Klibansky, Erwin Panofsky a Fritz Saxl – zde překládá jedinečné zkoumání původu a vývoje filosofických a lékařských teorií, na nichž se zakládalo antické pojetí lidských temperamentů, a rozebírá jejich souvislosti s astrologickými a náboženskými představami. Sleduje také zobrazení melancholie v literatuře a umění až do 16. století a vrcholí přelomovou analýzou Dürerovy nejslavnější rytiny Melencolia I.
České vydání vychází z nové, rozšířené anglické edice z roku 2019. Obsahuje mj. úvod Raymonda Klibanského k německému vydání z roku 1990 a další dodatky, jež objasňují složitý příběh vzniku této průkopnické knihy, která dodnes fascinuje další a další generace čtenářů.

The Flemish Masters
A fresh look at the astounding innovations of Netherlandish Renaissance painting through 48 case studies
This sumptuous publication opens our eyes afresh to the revolution that took place in the Low Countries in the 15th and 16th centuries, and which shaped the course of European art. In 48 lavishly illustrated analyses, Matthias Depoorter explores how painters such as Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden, Quentin Massys, Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel reached unprecedented heights of technical and aesthetic facility and are rightly considered key innovators in the story of Western painting to this day.
A defining factor in their innovations was the perfecting and mastery of oil painting technique, as well as their groundbreaking attention to optical lighting effects. The new technical possibilities offered a different way of looking at the world, and ultimately a new way of painting. No less innovative was the level of detail achieved by these artists (most famously, perhaps, by Van Eyck). These painters were thoroughly acquainted with one another’s work, and The Flemish Masters explores this artistic cross-fertilization. Altogether this volume constitutes a must-read for anyone who wants to fall in love with the old masterpieces anew.
Writing after Art
A broad and deep anthology of critic and art historian Richard Shiff’s most influential writings, which have shaped our understanding of twentieth- and twenty-first-century art.
In his engaging and often strikingly deep observations of major modern and contemporary visual art, Shiff has written about an impressive range of artists, including Willem de Kooning, Marlene Dumas, Jasper Johns, Donald Judd, Barnett Newman, Pablo Picasso, and Bridget Riley. A leading scholar and powerful voice, Shiff’s insight into some of the most prominent artistic practices spans generation, place, and approach as seen in this considered selection of essays on twenty-six artists.
These writings first appeared in exhibition catalogues for retrospectives at galleries and institutions including the Centre Georges Pompidou, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Museum of Modern Art, and Tate Modern. Shiff supplements his unquestionable fluency in art history with insights cultivated from his readings in philosophy, phenomenology, literary theory, and psychoanalysis, among other fields. Shiff’s writing—conceptually rich, meditative, and enjoyable to read—is attuned to the nuances of artistic style and technique, drawing out art’s social implications not merely from broad histories but also directly from artists’ mark making and technical gestures. Actively engaged as a viewer and a writer, Shiff has transformed the act of looking at art into contemplative and captivating writing.
Includes essays on Georg Baselitz, Mark Bradford, Georges Braque, Jim Campbell, Chuck Close, Willem de Kooning, Peter Doig, Marlene Dumas, Dan Flavin, Suzan Frecon, Lucian Freud, Ellen Gallagher, Jasper Johns, Donald Judd, Ellsworth Kelly, Brice Marden, Julie Mehretu, Barnett Newman, Pablo Picasso, Bridget Riley, Richard Serra, Joel Shapiro, Richard Tuttle, Cy Twombly, Jack Whitten, and Zeng Fanzhi.
The Art of Colour
A unique approach to the history of art told through the story of colour and pigments.
Did you know that the ultramarine that shimmers at the centre of Vermeer's Milkmaid connects that masterpiece with 6th-century Zoroastrian paintings found on the walls of cave temples in Bamiyan, Afghanistan? Or that the surging waves that crest and curl in Hokusai's perilous Great Wave off Kanagawa owe their absorbing blue lustre to an alchemist who was born in Frankenstein's Castle in 1673? And were the Pre-Raphaelites really obsessed with a murky brown hue derived from the pulverized remains of ancient mummies? (Spoiler: they were.)
Invented by prehistoric cave-dwellers and medieval conjurers, cunning conmen and savvy scientists, the colours of art tell a riveting tale all their own. Over ten scintillating chapters, acclaimed author Kelly Grovier helps bring that tale vividly to life, revealing the astonishing backstories of the pigments that define the greatest works in the history of art. Interwoven between these chapters is a series of features focusing on key moments in the evolution of colour theory - from the revelations of the Enlightenment to the radicalism of the Bauhaus - while reproductions of carefully selected artworks help illuminate the narrative's twists and turns.
The history of colour is an epic saga of human ingenuity and insatiable desire. Read this book and you will never look at a work of art in quite the same way.
FuturLiberty: Liberty Fabrics and the Avant Garde
This book looks back through the Liberty archives as it explores the strong influence of early twentieth-century avant-garde art on Liberty’s fabric designs.
Liberty is renowned internationally for its fabrics, especially its floral patterns, but it also has a long history of developing bold, geometric designs. Many of these were inspired by early twentieth-century avant-garde art, notably by Italian Futurists, such as Giacomo Balla and Umberto Boccioni, and their English contemporaries the Vorticists, including Christopher Nevinson and Edward Wadsworth.
In anticipation of Liberty’s 150th anniversary, renowned couturier and interior designer Federico Forquet has curated a striking new range of fabrics?the FuturLiberty Collection?that carries Liberty’s creative heritage into our own age.
The Futurist and Vorticist art that lies behind the new designs is explored by specialists Ester Coen and Richard Cork, while archivist Anna Buruma examines Liberty’s rich history of avant-garde designs. By illuminating the process by which the FuturLiberty Collection came into being, this highly visual study also reveals how art can inform design, making it contemporary, relevant, and engaging.

Monsters
From the author of the New York Times best seller Poser and the acclaimed memoir Love and Trouble, Monsters is "part memoir, part treatise, and all treat" (The New York Times). This unflinching, deeply personal book expands on Claire Dederer's instantly viral Paris Review essay, "What Do We Do with the Art of Monstrous Men?"
Can we love the work of artists such as Hemingway, Sylvia Plath, Miles Davis, Polanski, or Picasso? Should we? Dederer explores the audience's relationship with artists from Michael Jackson to Virginia Woolf, asking: How do we balance our undeniable sense of moral outrage with our equally undeniable love of the work? Is male monstrosity the same as female monstrosity? And if an artist is also a mother, does one identity inexorably, and fatally, interrupt the other? In a more troubling vein, she wonders if an artist needs to be a monster in order to create something great. Does genius deserve special dispensation? Does art have a mandate to depict the darker elements of the psyche? And what happens if the artist stares too long into the abyss?
Highly topical, morally wise, honest to the core, Monsters is certain to incite a conversation about whether and how we can separate artists from their art.

Contemporary Art
An essential account of contemporary art that identifies key themes and approaches, providing the reader with a clear understanding of the contexts in which art is being made today.
Since the 1960s, contemporary art has overturned the accepted historical categorizations of what constitutes art, who creates it, and how it is represented and validated.

Curator and writer Natalie Rudd explains the many aspects of contemporary art, from its backstory to today, including different approaches, media, and recurring themes. Each chapter addresses a core question, explored via an accessible narrative and supported by an analysis of relevant works.
Rudd also looks at the role of the art market and its structures, including art fairs and biennales, and how these have developed since the millennium; the expanded role of the contemporary artist as personality; and how artists are untangling historical and contemporary narrativesto expose inequalities, the ethics of making, and the potential for art to improve the world and effect political change. A reference section offers advice on how to interpret contemporary art and where to access it.
Offering a multinarrative and international perspective, Contemporary Art discusses what motivates artists as they try to make sense of the world and their place within it. This guide promises to reduce your feelingsof intimidation when engaging with contemporary art, offering useful knowledge about diverse artists.

Sokol mezi obrazy
Monografie se věnuje teorii a dějinám umění, estetice a umělecké kritice Miroslava Tyrše (1832–1884), který je sice všeobecně znám jako zakladatel a vedoucí osobnost Sokola, ale byl také historikem umění a kultury, estetikem a prvním profesorem dějin umění na české části Karlovy univerzity v Praze. Monografie představuje a analyzuje jeho rozsáhlé dílo, které zůstalo ve stínu tělocvičného hnutí. I toto hnutí, společenství, bylo ovšem jeho chápáním kultury a umění silně ovlivněno – Tyrš do Sokola integroval i vzory antického Řecka a důsledně usiloval o renesanci ideálu kalokagathie. Díky tomu se věnoval nejen estetické teorii tělesných cvičení a gymnastiky, ale i teorii umění a stal se prvním českým kritikem zaměřeným výhradně na výtvarné umění. Kniha se proto pokouší jeho názory, rozptýlené v řadě teoretických textů i uměleckých kritik, představit uceleněji a také je zasadit do kontextu dobových názorů, z nichž čerpal.
The World According to Colour
The world comes to us in colour. But colour lives as much in our imaginations as it does in our surroundings, as this scintillating book reveals. Each chapter immerses the reader in a single colour, drawing together stories from the histories of art and humanity to illuminate the meanings it has been given over the eras and around the globe. Showing how artists, scientists, writers, philosophers, explorers and inventors have both shaped and been shaped by these wonderfully myriad meanings, James Fox reveals how, through colour, we can better understand their cultures, as well as our own. Each colour offers a fresh perspective on a different epoch, and together they form a vivid, exhilarating history of the world.

Van Gogh and the Avant-Garde
An examination of the innovative portrayals of industry and leisure created by five avant-garde artists working at Asnieres in the late nineteenth century.
From 1881 to 1890, Vincent van Gogh, Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, Emile Bernard, and Charles Angrand chose Asni?res, a suburb of Paris, as a site of artistic experimentation. Located on the Seine, Asni?res became a popular destination for Parisians thanks to aquatic sports and festivals starting in the 1850s, facilitated by the arrival of new train stations and bridges earlier in the century. This convenient new transportation system had beckoned Parisians to more distant destinations like Argenteuil and Bougival, resulting in the river scenes depicted by Impressionists like Monet and Renoir. At the same time, the idyllic landscape of Asni?res increasingly contrasted with the factories appearing on the opposite side of the river. Homing in on the tensions between leisure and work, the avant-garde artists at Asni?res sought to capture the feeling of this starkly modern landscape by developing innovative motifs, styles, and techniques that pushed their work in new directions. Offering an unprecedented in-depth look at the work produced by the artists at Asni?res, this handsomely illustrated volume includes scholarly essays on each of the artists as well as a map detailing the locations where the artists painted.

Avantgardisté
Chtěli změnit umění a s ním i celou společnost. Umění změnili. Společnost ne…
Velká říjnová revoluce, to nebyl jen razantní přelom v ruské politice. V očích revolucionářů se utvářela celá nová společnost, nový svět a nový člověk. Jedním z projevů této nové epochy lidských dějin mělo být i umění: to staré, buržoazní a tradiční bylo zavrženo ve jménu umění moderního a progresivního. V čele Sovětského svazu proto vedle bolševiků stanuli i avantgardní umělci. Dříve odmítaní tvůrci jako Kazimir Malevič, Marc Chagall, Vasilij Kandinskij nebo Vladimir Tatlin byli pověřeni úkolem provést socialistickou estetickou transformaci: reformovaly se pedagogické systémy, v zapadlých obcích se budovaly galerie, města zaplavilo avantgardní umění. Trvalo to však jen pár let, než tato umělecká svobodomyslnost začala být Sovětskému svazu, komunistickému politbyru a jeho regulím na obtíž. Triumf umění skončil lidskou tragédií. Avantgardisté jsou velkolepým příběhem několika umělců, kteří chtěli změnit svět, portrétem doby bolševické revoluce a teroru i strhujícím vyznáním modernímu umění.

Umělec, ateliér a umění. Obrazy z 19. století
Kniha pojednává různé stránky umělectví coby postavení, v němž během 19. století výtvarní umělci vnímali sami sebe v souvislosti s tím i to, jak je posuzovala společnost. Fenomén umělectví v naší knize zahrnuje sebereflexi i sebeprezentaci výtvarných umělců; týká se tedy vlastních tvůrčích výkonů i ideologie spjaté s výtvarným uměním. Ukazuje, nakolik emancipace umělců souvisela s národními hnutími, a jak odpovídala vývoji evropské umělecké scény. Čeští umělci se stávali uznanou součástí proměňující se moderní společnosti. Představy o umělectví zobrazujeme ve škále od oficiality a uměleckých veličin až po tvůrčí hru s fikcemi ba i mystifikacemi. Mimořádnou přitažlivost knize poskytuje její výtvarná výbava zahrnující obrazy, kresby, grafiky, sochy od známých umělců i množství příkladů z tvorby méně známé.

Video within and beyond art: a survey of the medium’s political meanings
Video is everywhere. Since its debut as a consumer medium in the 1960s, video has shaped our opinions, our politics and our societies. On our phones and computer screens, walls and streets, it defines new spaces and experiences?spreading memes, lies, fervor, fact and fiction. In other words, video has transformed the world.
Featuring works from the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, this illuminating exhibition catalog?MoMA’s first major publication on video art in nearly 30 years?explores the ways in which artists have both championed and questioned video’s promise, some hoping to create new networks of communication, democratic engagement and public participation, others protesting commercial and state control over information, vision and truth itself. Lavishly illustrated essays by esteemed scholars and artists?including Ina Blom, Aria Dean, David Joselit, Pamela M. Lee, Glenn Ligon and Ravi Sundaram?highlight video’s widely varied formats, contexts and global reach. Signals is a manual for understanding the present, an era in which video has pervaded all aspects of life.
