Lacná kniha Černá Afrika (-50%)
Na území černé (subsaharské) Afriky se setkávají tři kulturní okruhy: islamský, domorodý africký a kresťanský. Ty se navzájem ovlivňují
prolínají a zanechávají svůj otisk i v kultuře odívání. Pro subtropické
podnebí typická nahota tak postupně ustupuje vlivu šířícího se islámu i
křesťanství. Zdobení těla tetování a kosmetika posilují znaky
mužnosti odvahy i krásy velice významně se prosazuje užití šperků
spolu s deformací některých částí těla. Společně pak tvoří
charakteristiku oděvů tohoto kontinentu.

Zaříkávači kamene
Příběh jižního Kavkazu je příběhem mostu mezi Evropou a Asií. Arménie a Gruzie – dvě nejstarší známé křesťanské kultury – a jejich sdílená středověká minulost během staletí vzkvétaly zasazené do úchvatné krajiny mezi Kaspickým a Černým mořem.
Jde o jedny z nejpozoruhodnějších kultur v dějinách lidstva: na křižovatce východního křesťanského a íránského světa se minimálně od sedmého do třináctého století rodily umělecké projevy, které v sobě nemají nic provinčního a svou kvalitou a rozmanitostí často převyšují produkci staré Evropy. Toto bohatství nachází své kořeny v rozdělené a současně sdílené arménské a gruzínské historii, neboť po celé období středověku se oba národy nepřestaly stýkat.
Hovořit však o regionu jako o „soudržném“ celku je oprávněné pouze tehdy, je-li tato soudržnost postavena na ontologické rozmanitosti: arménská a gruzínská kultura a umění jsou naprosto jedinečné, stejně jako oba jazyky a příslušné abecedy.
Kniha, kterou čtenář drží v rukou, je pokusem přepsat do řeči obrazů to, co bylo popsáno výše: mimořádný dialog mezi přírodou a kulturou, velkou kulturní rozmanitost a zároveň symbiózu mezi různými historickými skutečnostmi středověku.
Toto není jenom kniha
Jak název a obálka knihy napovídá, jedná se o určitý rozpor mezi tím, co vidíme a co čteme. Napětí mezi obrazy, slovy a jejich významy v širokém slova smyslu rámuje téma publikace zaměřené na porozumění vizuální komunikaci. Její různé formy nás denně obklopují, žijeme v době, které dominují obrazová sdělení. Tato populárně naučná kniha, určená čtenářům od patnácti let, si klade za síl poskytnout klíč k tomu, jak všudypřítomné obrazy číst a jak je kritickým okem vnímat. Teoreticky se kniha opírá o sémiotiku a grafický design, který je dnes synonymem pro vizuální komunikaci. Jejím hlavním posláním je rozvíjení vizuální gramotnosti, stěžejní kompetence pro kritické myšlení. Zároveň je i cenným nástrojem k posilování mediální a informační gramotnosti, kreativního myšlení a k prohlubování citlivosti věči funkční a estetické rovině vizuálního jazyka. Úkolem knihy je také ukázat, jak kreativně využívat digitální nástroje, které běžně používáme, neboť díky technologickým vymoženostem je většina z nás aktivními tvůrci vizuální komunikace. Kniha sestává z praktických cvičení - kritických otázek a tvůrčích úkolů a najde uplatnění také u učitelů ve všeobecném vzdělávání. Grafický design a ilustrace Karl Gondeková a Karolína Šebková. Kniha vychází v koedici se vzdělávací platformou Designéři dětem.

Gustav Klimt: The Interiors
This unique and utterly fascinating appreciation of Gustav Klimt's oeuvre reveals some of his most famous works in their original settings and offers valuable historic insight into his artistic vision.
Interior design was supremely important to Gustav Klimt, and many of his paintings were created for specific settings or spaces. This aspect of Klimt's practice comes beautifully to life in this book that illustrates how some of the artist's most beloved canvases appeared in situ-in private dining rooms and salons, galleries, museums, and public exhibition spaces.
Works such as the portraits of Emilie Flöge and Hermine Gallia, the shocking Nuda Veritas, and landscapes A Morning by the Pond and The Tall Poplar I are presented in double-page spreads. Full-color reproductions of paintings by Klimt are juxtaposed with black-and-white vintage photographs of the original interiors with the featured paintings overlaid in color.
Thoughtful and personal texts by Klimt scholar Tobias Natter accompany each spread, providing invaluable contextual insight about how these pictures were conceived as part of the interior design of their respective rooms and spaces, and the passionate collectors who first owned these pictures.
Meticulously produced and packaged, this book provides a refreshing perspective on Klimt's oeuvre and artistic vision.
Niko Pirosmani
A Legendary Artist Revisited Unknown to many, Niko Pirosmani is revered as a legend in his native Georgia. Conveying a sense of poignant empathy, his portraits, animal paintings, landscapes and scenes from everyday life painted around 1900 in a flourishing Tbilisi draw on medieval iconography and testify to a deeply felt sense of belonging. At the same time, the avant-garde recognised a novel and radically new form of painting in his work.
Like Henri Rousseau or Marc Chagall, Pirosmani is one of the exceptional yet difficult to categorize proponents of early modern art. This catalogue demonstrates Pirosmani's qualities in numerous illustrations, showing how his rapid brushstrokes on black oilcloth give the sparsely applied colors a glow as if coming from a dark depth. Pirosmani was a master of concentration-and a storyteller.
As expertly explained in the catalogue by a selection of Georgian art historians, he was a unique artist, a contradictory figure and an important part of the art scene in Tbilisi, then considered the "Paris of the East."

Earthly Delights: A History of the Renaissance
A Sunday Times Art Book of the Year: written by one of the UK's foremost art critics, this new narrative history of the Renaissance takes in the whole of Europe and its global context.
What was the 'Renaissance'? In the nineteenth century this flowering of creativity and thought was celebrated as the birth of the modern world. Today many historians are sceptical about its very existence. Earthly Delights rekindles the Renaissance as a seismic change in European mentalities, in a panoramic history that encompasses Florence and Bruges, London and Nuremberg. Artists from northern as well as southern Europe, including Leonardo, Bosch, Bruegel and Titian, star in a captivating and beautifully illustrated narrative that sets their lives against a period of convulsive change across a continent that was finding itself as it 'discovered' the world.
Art critic and writer Jonathan Jones tells the story of Renaissance artists as pioneers, adventurers and 'geniuses', a Renaissance concept. Albrecht Dürer gazes with wonder on Aztec art in Brussels in 1520, Leonardo da Vinci tries to perfect a flying machine, Hieronymus Bosch finds inspiration in West African ivory carvings imported by the Portuguese to Antwerp. A then unknown Netherlandish painter, Pieter Bruegel, arrives in 1550s Rome just as Michelangelo is striving in the same city to raise the new St Peter's Basilica towards heaven. From Atlantic voyages to Germanic woods, Italian palazzi to the royal castle of Prague, this was an age when people dared to experiment with the occult and dabble in utopias: to think and create new worlds.

Why Graphic Culture Matters
'Why Graphic Culture Matters' gathers 45 thought-provoking essays by design critic Rick Poynor about graphic design and visual communication, written in the past two decades. Poynor writes as a non-designer deeply immersed in the practice of graphic communication. Many of the essays were first published in the American magazine 'Print', where he was a columnist for 17 years. These incisive pieces focus on key tendencies and trends, prevailing ideas and new departures. The collection is divided into three thematic sections, offering alternative critical perspectives on the field. Topics of inquiry include design’s relationship to business, design criticism, graphic design history, the canon, graphic authorship, critical graphic design, design celebrity, the urgent need to decolonise the discipline, and whether graphic design is still an apt term for what graphic communicators do.

The Power of Art
To read most histories of art, you might be forgiven for supposing that great artists are superhuman, and the knowledge of different movements, periods and styles is essential to truly appreciate art.
It's time to look at art in a new way.
THE POWER OF ART delves into the stories behind remarkable acts of creation in fifteen global cities at pivotal moments of artistic brilliance. It shows how art is an integral part of our daily lives, embedded in the very fabric of our existence. From the enduring wonders of ancient Babylon to the menacing pastel architecture of contemporary Pyongyang, eminent curator Caroline Campbell intertwines the stories of artists with the broader social, cultural and political landscapes of their time.
In each vivid episode, Campbell reveals how art, in all its forms, is a testament to humanity's inventiveness and ingenuity: it has served our fundamental needs for shelter, sustenance, spirituality, pleasure, order and community. But it can also evoke envy, anger, greed, and even be used as a means of social control.
Spanning thousands of years of creativity, THE POWER OF ART will ignite your imagination and open your eyes to the art that surrounds us, whether it be a painting in a gallery, a public sculpture or an everyday object with hidden beauty.
The History of African Art
This indispensable introductory guide explores the art of the African continent from its early origins over 150,000 years ago to the contemporary, set in the context of postcolonial debates, the restitution of cultural objects and artifacts, and the challenges of the present. This enormous and complex field of study, once under-appreciated by the Western art world, is now of global importance and an essential subject of education in art history.
For ease of reference and analysis, leading African art expert Suzanne Preston Blier has structured this guide chronologically into manageable and meaningful chapters covering ancient art, the Middle Ages, travel and trade, encounters with Europe in the age of exploration, the colonial era, the rebuilding of the continent in recent times, and contemporary art. Addressed are core, continent-wide themes in African visual and cultural expression, from the life cycle (children, initiation, motherhood, religion) to the body and representations of power dynamics.
Important regional artistic expressions are also explored, such as the cultures of Mali (the Western Sudan), Nigeria (the lower Niger and Benue area), the Congo Basin, and various nomadic populations across the continent.Written from an inclusive, modern perspective, focusing not only on royal traditions but also the broader global history of the continent and its artistic practices, this is an excellent introduction for students, museum visitors, and anyone with an interest in fine art, African history, and cultural studies.

Rene Magritte
The first book-length material study of the works of Belgian Surrealist René Magritte.
René Magritte (1898–1967) is the most famous Belgian artist of the twentieth century and a celebrated representative of the Surrealist movement. Much has been written about his practices, artistic community, and significance within the history of modernism, but little has been documented regarding his process.
This volume examines fifty oil paintings made by Magritte between 1921 and 1967, now held at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium. This technical study of his works using noninvasive scientific imaging and chemical analysis reveals the artist’s painting materials, his habit of overpainting previous compositions, and the origins and mechanisms of surface and pigment degradation. Of interest to conservators, scientists, curators, and enthusiasts of twentieth-century art, this book expands our understanding of Magritte the artist and provides new and useful findings that will inform strategies for the future care of his works.

Mind the Gap: Mind the Gap: The Narrative Power of Illustrations and Drawings
Drawing is not a myth, but a tool, a means of gaining knowledge and the basis for illustrative and artistic pictorial expressions
How pictures can be used to tell a story, how are they made, and how the head and the hand collaborate in the creative process? Just as each image is unique, so are the individual intentions of the artists. The technical craftsmanship of HOW is as much a decisive criterion for the quality of an image as its contextual WHAT. In addition to all depiction methods, rules of design, and phenomena of perception, a number of additional factors are important in making convincingly narrated images.
This book invites readers to question the world with alert eyes, to discard conventions and to open up to other ways of thinking and new ways of seeing and approaching things: to dare to be playful and ready for any kind of experiment, to ultimately throw all rules overboard in order to find their very own artistic individuality. The author's approach is not so much a step-by-step instruction with template-like schemes, instead it focuses on the intrinsic logic of things, their connections and relations, and the link between presentation and design.

A guide to the art, artists, and culture of graffiti from the 1970s to today, as told by the taggers themselves
