Theodore de Bry
When Flemish engraver and publisher Theodore de Bry issued the first volume of his America series in 1590, the New World was truly novel for most Europeans. Gleaned from the travel accounts of adventurers like Thomas Harriot, Sir Francis Drake, and Sir Walter Raleigh, De Bry's magnificent engravings brought the new continent and its inhabitants to an enraptured audience across the Atlantic.
From "Virginia" (today's North Carolina) and Florida to Central America and down into Patagonia, the first nine volumes of America depict scenery and encounters between Native Americans and Europeans, revealing the latter's perceptions of the former. Portrayals of European discovery and Native American customs were based on the explorers' reports as well as De Bry's own imagination - he himself never traveled to the New World. Although based in Frankfurt, De Bry laid the foundations of the series while in London, collaborating with artists John White and Jacques Le Moyne, whose original watercolors he adapted for the opening two volumes. With his sons, De Bry formed a family enterprise known for exquisite copper engravings and high-quality illustrations unrivaled in their mastery.
The legacy of America is profound, coloring Europe's earliest visions of the Atlantic world. Throughout the following centuries, countless European illustrations would draw inspiration from the spectacular collection. TASCHEN's edition pays homage to De Bry's finesse, reprinting all 218 plates from the first nine volumes alongside their respective frontispieces and continental maps. Volumes I to VI are based on the original hand-colored editions held at the John Hay and John Carter Brown Libraries at Brown University in Providence; volumes VII to IX are from the Staats- und Stadtbibliothek in Augsburg, Germany.
Exceptionally rare even at the time of completion, De Bry's hand-colored America can finally be admired by all.
The Moment of Cubism
The Moment of Cubism is one of John Berger's most important collections of art criticism. Whether considering Vermeer in his studio, Poussin's poignant meditation on death, or the complexities of Rodin's sculpture, Berger draws together the threads that bind individual artists to their social and political context. Here Berger argues that Cubism was a moment rather than a movement, one that came and went without the consent of its key figures - Picasso and Braque above all.
He makes a case for Cubism's revolutionary influence. As always, Berger helps us see the world in new ways.
Landscapes
Landscapes showcases the development and practice of John Berger's unique way of seeing. Here he surveys the aesthetic landscapes that have informed, challenged and nourished his understanding of the world.
Berger pays homage to the writers and thinkers who influenced him, such as Walter Benjamin, Rosa Luxemburg and Bertolt Brecht. His expansive perspective embraces artistic movements and individual artists - from the Renaissance to the present - while never neglecting the social and political context of their creation.
The Secrets of Painting
A new history of painting as told through the eyes and hands-on insights of a practising artist.
The first question that Lachlan Goudie asks himself when he sees a work of art is not 'why' it was created but 'how'. For this book he poses that question of artworks created by the earliest humans to artists today, focusing on the technical inventions and turning points that at each stage have marked a new chapter in the history of art.
Goudie knows from experience that masterpieces don't emerge serenely from an artist's studio. They are the result of a long tussle between dirty hands and crushed pigment, hog's-hair brushes and linseed oil, rabbit-skin glue and pulverized chalk. Great paintings are always the product of a struggle involving artists and their materials, one that pushes the practitioner to the very limits of technical ability.
The secrets of painting lie above all in the physical elements from which an image is crafted. The nature of these elements has changed over time and across continents. And as each generation of painters exploits the new material and technical innovations of their era, they transform the character of their work and help propel the course of art history.
Goudie traces this story all the way back to the original 'big bang' in the story of art: the very first painting pigments, made from charcoal and minerals, that were used to paint extraordinary art on the walls of the caves at Chauvet 36,000 years ago. He goes on to explore the impact of numerous new inventions and discoveries over the centuries, including ink, fresco, egg tempera, oil paint, canvas, watercolour, gouache, impasto, tubes of manufactured oil paint, collage, household gloss, acrylic, digital media and AI. Each chapter focuses on a technical turning point as embodied in the work of particular artist, including Giotto, Artemisia Gentileschi, Alma Thomas, Anselm Kiefer, David Hockney and many more.
Pamäť miesta

Figura
Umělecká kreativita je základní téma, které i v odborných dějinách umění přemáhá dnešní hyperspecializaci. Chiasmatický pojem figury a figurace potom pomáhají pochopit hlubší vztahy mezi tradicí a modernou. Kniha sleduje tyto otázky nejen teoreticky, ale i v konkrétních rozborech významných uměleckých výkonů. Petr Wittlich V knize je teoreticky i historicky vytvořena propozice pro novou metodologii uměleckohistorického výkladu umění pomocí pojmů figura a figurace. Její výhodou je, že umožňuje vytvářet historicky situované syntézy formálních i obsahových složek, působících při vzniku uměleckých děl a neodděluje moderní umění od tradice, i když zdůrazňuje jeho inovační kapacitu. Petr Wittlich vybudoval nový samotný výkladový systém. Kniha Figura, tak představuje pro další generace, nejen historiků umění, návod jak nepředpojatě a zároveň poučeně vnímat umění jako takové. Jde o jedinečný přínos dějinám umění, syntézu Wittlichova celoživotního úsilí, knihu, která přetrvá věky.
Film Posters of the Russian Avant-Garde. 45th Ed.
At the intersection of the visual, graphic, and cinematic arts, film posters are a unique and thrilling record of a particular cultural Zeitgeist. This book brings together 250 posters from the Soviet Union of the 1920s and early 1930s to explore the energy and invention of this period, before Soviet Realism became the official art doctrine.
Drawn from the private collection of collector Susan Pack, the selection includes the work of 27 different artists. From bold figuration to architectural elements, each artist displays a distinct style and aesthetic, as much as they collectively eschew the glamour of Hollywood for more stark, striking, even challenging images, often marked by unusual angles, dynamic compositions, and startling close-ups.
The World According to Matisse
In addition to being a formidable artist, Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was a prolific letter writer and regular contributor to many publications. Following in the successful format of 'The World According to …' series, this anthology of quotations unites Matisse's thoughts and artworks to construct a unique view of the world, as seen through the eyes of one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century.
Covering topics ranging from fame - 'An artist must never be … a prisoner of success' - to war and occupation - 'All is well here, but we see things that are hilarious and dreadful all at once' - art - 'All colours sing together; they have the essential force of a choir' - and work - 'When you work to please other people, you achieve nothing' - The World According to Henri Matisse paints the picture of a life as lively as it was rich.
Matisse - World of Art
A richly illustrated survey of Matisse's impact on modern art that also examines his career, techniques, aesthetics and stages of artistic development.
The work of Henri Matisse has been both a profound inspiration to his successors and a source of infinite enjoyment to all who love art. Yet the apparent spontaneity of his colour and ease of imagery were the fruit of a lifetime's arduous labour; the simplicity of his compositions the result of a formidable intelligence. In this richly illustrated study, Lawrence Gowing takes us through Matisse's career, assessing his influence on the art that has followed him and looking closely at Matisse's own achievements. The detailed discussion of individual works reveal the subtlety and complexity of one of the greatest masters of all time.
Dutch Painting - World of Art
'A masterpiece, a brilliantly original synthesis, often revelatory, miraculously condensed, and always readable' David Carrier, Counterpunch
This authoritative book in the World of Art series offers a new perspective on the paintings of the Dutch Golden Age, authored by one of the world's foremost experts on Dutch art.
Renowned art historian Gary Schwartz offers a fresh and contemporary perspective on seventeenth-century Dutch painting, one of the most important schools of European art. This lively and authoritative guide brings together a range of notable paintings from leading museum collections to explore the work of well-known masters such as Rembrandt van Rijn, Judith Leyster and Johannes Vermeer, as well as artists that the reader may be encountering for the first time, such as Adriaen van de Velde and Gesina ter Borch.
Across nine chapters, particular attention is paid to patronage and the market; reception and study; gender and race; painters abroad, in Europe as well as Asia and elsewhere; and issues of attribution. Covering an impressively wide range of subjects and styles, Dutch Painting investigates the full panoply of works created by the largest school of seventeenth-century European painters, offering a comprehensive overview of Dutch painting in its own context - and in ours - with a fresh and insightful eye.
Niki de Saint Phalle
Niki de Saint Phalle loved pseudo-orders, which she used to arbitrarily assemble terms and pictograms on a sheet of paper. Under the heading "I Love," for example, the sign of a snake could be found next to the emblem for justice, an orange spot for the corresponding color next to two stars as a symbol for astrology. Niki de Saint Phalle A-Z takes the same liberty and puts the many facets of Niki de Saint Phalle's work into the order of the alphabet.
This logical order is deceptive, though. From A as in AIDS to Z as in Zurich Angel, from B as in Bride to V as in Vanitas, a mosaic of concepts emerges that filters out the various levels of meaning in her manifold oeuvre and playfully engages them in mutual commentary.

Art for All. Art History
A comprehensive volume covering five seminal genres that shaped art, from the late 19th century and well into the 20th: Impressionism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. Each approach was distinct in aesthetic and philosophy, but all had immediate impact and enduring influence. Many great names were indelibly associated with one, some explored several during their careers.
Impressionism, led by Monet and Renoir, focused on light and color, capturing fleeting moments and challenging academic art's rigidity. Expressionism was driven by artists like Edvard Munch and Wassily Kandinsky to convey raw emotion, distorting reality to reflect the angst of human experience. Surrealists, like Salvador Dal? and René Magritte, explored the subconscious, dreams, and the irrational, blending reality with fantasy across art, literature, and film. With Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko leading the charge, Abstract Expressionism emphasized spontaneity and emotion through bold, gestural brushstrokes, and established New York as the post-war art world's new Mecca. Finally, artists like Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol gained fame and dominated the zeitgeist by synthesizing advertising, pop culture, and high art into Pop Art.
Though diverse, these movements collectively pushed the boundaries of creativity, redefined artistic expression, and altered the trajectory of contemporary art. This lavish edition celebrates their stories, featuring more than 250 high-quality reproductions and texts, exploring how each movement's ideas and innovations transformed art forever.
The Primacy of Drawing
A definitive and comprehensive study of drawing, now entirely revised.
Drawing has always been an inseparable part of art-making, both as a distinct art form and a crucial step in many other creative visual practice. Yet, its role has faced increasing scrutiny in recent decades. The popularity of readymades, the endless possibilities of new technologies, and the idea of the artist as a performer have shifted attention away from traditional studies or sketches. Deanna Petherbridge's second edition of The Primacy of Drawing invites new perspectives on the practice, which she argues is central to "all aspects of cultural making and thinking."
Petherbridge begins by exploring ancient myths about the origins of drawing, then examines the contrasts between open-ended sketches and highly formalized studies, which together form a drawing continuum?graphic parameters within which artists continue to experiment. She also delves into the economy of drawing?its qualities of line and mark, and analyzes the strategies behind making, composing, and inventing drawn images. The teaching of drawing in academies has led to complex theories on copying, genre hierarchies, and expressive figure drawing. The manner in which satire, sexuality, and play develop compositional strategies reflects Petherbridge’s perspective as a teacher, deeply engaged with the hows and whys of visual thinking.
The Primacy of Drawing serves as both a much-needed history of the practice and a valuable resource for anyone interested in drawing.

Obraz a kult
Kniha Hanse Beltinga Obraz a kult je jednou z nejdůležitějších knih v oblasti dějin umění. Představuje osobitý a dosud směrodatný pohled na dějiny evropské vizuální kultury napříč hranicemi aktuálních evropských států. Od svého vydání vyvolala širokou debatu o náboženských prožitcích tváří v tvář kultovním obrazům, která dalece přesahuje rámec vlastního tématu a stále není u konce.
Beltingovi se v této práci podařilo spojit dříve oddělené religionistické a historicko-umělecké pohledy v suverénní syntézu. Jeho kniha o umění zobrazování a moci křesťanského kultovního obrazu od pozdní antiky do 16. století hledá odpověď na zásadní otázku, proč mají právě tyto obrazy tak velkou moc a proč hrály nejen v tomto období tak klíčovou společenskou roli. Čtenáři také nabízí možnost porovnat dějiny obrazu a zobrazování na „Východě“ a na „Západě“.
V obsáhlé úvodní studii Ivana Folettiho je kniha zasazena do kontextu soudobého bádání a celospolečenského vývoje.
