The Female Body in Art
From the Renaissance to the present day, this is the history of art told through the female form, with over 80 works of art.
A cultural mirror of the times, the female body has captivated both artists and audiences for centuries. But what can we learn from these pieces of art? What are they trying to tell us about the world we live in? And how has that changed over time?
Explore the luminous portraiture of Gustav Klimt, astonishing wartime photography from Lee Miller and the ground-breaking performance art of Marina Abramovic. Meet Leonor Fini's shepherdess, Barkley L. Hendricks's 'Madonna', Graciela Iturbide's 'Medusa', Toyin Ojih Odutola's adventuresses and Hayv Kahraman's 'army of fierce women'.
Discover the idealized female body as envisioned by Sandro Botticelli and the gender non-conforming portraits of Zanele Muholi and Yuki Kihara, as Amy Dempsey looks at how and why the female body has been depicted time and time again, and why its portrayal has often delivered important messages about - and to - the world.
With a foreword by writer and curator, Hettie Judah.

Resumé
Július Schubert - Posledný predseda Bratislavského umeleckého spolku
Publikácia Július Schubert. Posledný predseda Bratislavského umeleckého spolku prezentuje tvorbu Júliusa Schuberta (1888, Bratislava – 1947, Bratislava), bratislavského rodáka, člena a predsedu Bratislavského umeleckého spolku, ktorý v rokoch 1920 – 1945 zohrával významnú úlohu v organizačnej i výstavnej činnosti spolku. Jej cieľom je prostredníctvom nového kunsthistorického výskumu v plnom rozsahu predstaviť doteraz nepoznanú umeleckú tvorbu Júliusa Schuberta a zároveň kontextuálne prepojiť jeho rozsiahle profesijné pôsobenie s komplexným obrazom výtvarného života v mestskom prostredí prvej polovice 20. storočia. Jednotlivé tematické okruhy, úzko prepojené s mestom Bratislava, sú bohato sprevádzané obrazovým materiálom.
Proměny maskulinit
Kniha Proměny maskulinit je trans-žánrovou antologií propojující pestrou mozaiku přístupů a cest k tématu maskulinit na osobní, umělecké, filozofické i vědecké rovině. Společně tak tvoříme podoby nových maskulinit. Skrze čtyřicet čtyři příspěvků se v knize setkáváme s množstvím úhlů pohledu a přístupů k tématu mužství - od vědeckých textů, rozhovorů, osobních esejů, přes autorské texty a básně až po umělecké příspěvky jako jsou kresby, fotografie nebo koláže. V úvodní části se čtenářstvo setkává s texty zaměřenými více teoreticky, aby načerpalo pojmový aparát. Ve druhé části se posouváme do osobní roviny, kde lze maskulinitu vnímat prostřednictvím jejího individuálního prožívání. V následující části knihy se zaměřujeme na prožívání maskulinit ve vztazích a v další kapitole se věnujeme žité zkušenosti rodičovství a maskulinitám v rámci otcovských a mateřských rolí. V následující části se seznamujeme s maskulinitou jako spektrem a v poslední kapitole se věnujeme maskulinitám posvátným, abychom prozkoumali i božské aspekty nitra. Mezi jednotlivými kapitolami se navracíme k vlastní tělesnosti pomocí meditací a imaginací, knihu doplňuje také tematický playlist.

Dějiny umění jsou uměním
Kolektivní monografie Dějiny umění jsou uměním, kterou k vydání připravila prof. Milena Bartlová, poprvé představuje Václava Viléma Štecha (1885–1974), významnou osobnost českých dějin umění 20. století. Komplexní pohled na jeho aktivity a přínos vytváří zcela jiný obraz originálního historika a teoretika umění, než je vzpomínka na starého muže, který byl koncem šedesátých let prvním a velmi úspěšným českým „televizním kunsthistorikem“ a v letech 1920–1930 pedagogem UMPRUM. Kniha je součástí připomínky 140. výročí založení školy a zároveň i Štechova narození. Obsahuje příspěvky Mileny Bartlové, Hany Buddeus, Lady Hubatové-Vackové, Markéty Ježkové, Terezy Johanidesové, Tomáše Kličky, Jiřího Koukala, Lukáše Makkyho, Michaely Pejčochové, Evy Skopalové a Jitky Šosové. Grafika Jan Čumlivski. Spojuje v sobě výborně školeného dějezpytce umění s instinktem duchaplného kritika a teoretika umění, přispěl Dr. V. V. Štech podstatně k prohloubení současného dějepisu umění českého a obohatil jej poznatky ceny trvalé. [z Usnesení profesorského sboru AVU k žádosti o jmenování Štecha řádným profesorem, červen 1945] Soubor studií zařazených do pečlivě připravené kolektivní monografie, která jako celek přináší množství nových, mimořádně podnětných a objasňujících pohledů na život, dílo a působení v novější době nikoli zapomenutého jako spíše ne zcela doceněného V. V. Štecha, představuje podle mého názoru zásadní, neopominutelné, faktograficky i metodologicky bezpečné východisko k dalšímu kritickému pochopení Štechova mnohostranného odkazu i jeho přínosu českým dějinám a teorii umění. [z odborného posudku Lubomíra Slavíčka]
Blank Space
Over the past twenty-five years, pop culture has suffered from a perplexing lack of reinvention. We’ve entered a cultural “blank space”—an era when reboots, rehashes, and fads flourish, while bold artistic experimentation struggles to gain recognition. Why is risk no longer rewarded, and how did playing it safe become the formula for success? Acclaimed cultural historian W. David Marx sets out to uncover the answers.
In this ambitious cultural history, Marx guides us through the blur of the twenty-first century so far, from the Obama era to the rise of K-pop, from Paris Hilton to the Marvel cinematic universe, from Beyoncé and Taylor Swift to . . . Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, whose enduring influence highlights both their adaptability and the broader shifts in pop culture. Combining sociological, economic, and political insights with a deep dive into art, street culture, fashion, and technology, Blank Space dissects the rise of profit-driven, formulaic trends and the shifting cultural norms that often prioritize going viral over innovation. He reveals how backlash against indie snobbery and nineties counterculture gave rise to a “counter-counterculture”—one marked by antiliberal sentiment, the celebration of business heroes, and the increasing influence of industry plants and the elite class. In a world of crypto bros, nepo babies, and AI-driven art, Marx offers readers a much-needed dose of clarity and context.
Vibrantly narrated and sharply argued, Blank Space is an essential guide for anyone looking to understand the chaos of the twenty-first century, the trends, tastemakers, and icons who shaped it, and how we might push our culture forward over the next quarter century—through renewed emphasis on creativity, community, and the values that transcend mere profit.
Leonardo – Az utolsó vacsora
A keresztény művészet számos halhatatlan mesterművel büszkélkedhet, de egyik sem ábrázolta a kereszténység misztériumát olyan megrendítően, mint Leonardo da Vinci Az utolsó vacsora című festménye. A szerző, Michael Ladwein művészettörténész és vallásbölcsész számos, gondos restaurálás által visszanyert részletre ráirányítja figyelmünket, amelyek új értelmezéshez vezethetnek, és rávilágít egy olyan mű sokoldalúságára, amelynek művészi és spirituális üzenete a mai napig semmit sem vesztett erejéből.
Rudolf Steiner az emberiség legjelentősebb műalkotásának nevezi ezt a festményt, amely "lehetővé teszi, hogy felismerjük a Föld létezésének valódi értelmét".
The Hidden Language of Flowers
Thirty botanical species represented in as many works in the Museo del Prado: outstanding paintings and sculptures from the permanent collection.
This volume focuses on thirty botanical species represented in as many works in the Museo del Prado: outstanding paintings and sculptures from the permanent collection, such as Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights, Van der Weyden's The Descent from the Cross and Fra Angelico's The Annunciation. Each of the thirty plants is accompanied by a commentary by Eduardo Barba and a botanical illustration by Juan Luis Castillo, as well as a complete detailed reproduction of the work in the Museum.
In the words of Eduardo Barba: ‘Many works of art are full of plants. In others, they are a little more hidden. In all cases, botany is an indispensable part of the story that the artist wants to tell: there are flowers that allude to the dynasty of the person portrayed, leaves that sum up a feeling, trees that transmit to the scene qualities that are specific to them. The species chosen could be present in the artist's surroundings, even at the foot of his studio. On other occasions, however, and as a result of expeditions to different parts of the world, exotic plants from distant countries were incorporated, enriching the artistic flora, especially from the 16th century onwards. In any case, the works of art bear witness to the fascinating ability of artists to observe the natural environment, who portrayed plants with delicacy, as if they were just another character.
Disordered Attention
How technology and the attention economy has impacted contemporary art
The ways we encounter contemporary art and performance is changing. Installations brim with archival documents. Dances stretch for weeks. Performances last a minute. Exhibitions are spread out over thirty venues. There are endless artworks about mid-century architecture and design. How are we expected to engage with today's diverse practise? Is the old model of close-looking still the ideal, or has it given way to browsing, skimming, and sampling?
Across four essays, art historian and critic Claire Bishop identifies trends in contemporary practice - research-based installations, performance exhibitions, interventions, and invocations of modernist architecture - and their challenges to traditional modes of attention. Charting a critical path through the last three decades, Bishop pinpoints how spectatorship and visual literacy are evolving under the pressures of digital technology.
Věda o kultuře a fenomenologie stylů
Italský teoretik a kritik umění Renato Barilli se ve své nejznámější knize zabývá problematikou technologického pokroku jako předpokladu definice významu výtvarného umění v rámcích uměleckých stylů. Barilli tak narušuje koncepty modernity, postmodernity a současnosti jakožto důsledky politických či kulturních proměn a sleduje jejich umělecké projevy jako problematiku médií, kterou považuje za nositele podstaty umělecké reprezentace.

Remekművek titkos élete
"... Megszakadt kapcsolatok, betiltott törekvések, elcsatolt területek, mind- mind szolgáltathattak okot arra, hogy kultúránk neves alkotói feledésbe merüljenek, vagy épp látóterünk peremére sodródjanak. Tárgyi emlékeink pedig mindeközben elpusztultak, átalakultak, esetleg valami oknál fogva elvesztek. Ez a tanulmánykötet a fenti kulturális és történelmi folyamatokat kívánja bemutatni, mégpedig oly esettanulmányokon keresztül, melyek főszereplői- legyenek azok akár szakszerűtlenül restaurált alkotások, hollywood-i filmkellékek, külföldön "felejtett" kiállítási tárgyak, vagy épp egy országhatáron kívül "rekedt" festőkolónia kollektív emlékei- valamilyen oknál fogva kiszakadtak hazánk kulturális szövetéből az elmúlt kétszáz év alatt."

Art of the Nordic Nations
A lavishly illustrated reference on the art of the five Nordic nations, covering a wide range of mediums, movements and styles.
Modern art from the Nordic countries - Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland - tends to be represented by a few famous artists, and an aesthetic known for combining originality and continuity of tradition. Nevertheless, the region is far from homogeneous. Each country has its own artistic language, culture and history, sometimes co-existing with its neighbours in harmony, sometimes engaging them in hard-fought conflict.
This extensively illustrated survey offers a new history of Nordic art, from the emergence of Impressionism in the 1870s, through the avant-garde experiments of the early decades of the 20th century and onward to the Second World War and beyond. A broad range of artists are featured, some familiar and others less renowned: Anders Zorn and Hilma af Klint, Vilhelm Hammershoi and Franciska Clausen, Edvard Munch and Harriet Backer, Akseli Gallen-Kallela and Fanny Churberg, Finnur Jónsson and Öyvind Fahlström. Each artist's work is vividly placed in the context of their homeland as well as the international art movements of the time. The significant role of women artists is also showcased, chronicling their artistic legacy as well as their broader social contributions. The result is a comprehensive account of modern Nordic art in one impressive volume that is sure to become a definitive account.
The 1990s: A Visual History of the Decade
An exploration of history, art, film, music and culture in a unique, immersive and visual narrative of a conflicted and momentous decade. As the Cold War ended and a new millennium approached, grunge, hip-hop and rave exploded in popularity as teenagers and twenty-somethings searched for something real, something more meaningful. Ostentation was out.
Authenticity was in. The 1990s had arrived. And so we had the first flashes of reality TV, the O.J.
Simpson trial, the rise of surveillance culture and the internet. We had early wake-up calls to the world of social media as The Truman Show and The Blair Witch Project exploited the emerging visual language of DIY video content. We heard the rallying call of ‘Girl Power!’ from riot grrrls and the Spice Girls.
We argued over East Coast versus West Coast rap and Biggie versus Tupac. Ice-T went from ‘Cop Killer’ to TV detective and Will Smith went from the Fresh Prince to a man in black. Cults, crop circles and conspiracy theories spread, and The X-Files and The Matrix pulled back the curtain on fictional hidden truths.
It was the end of history and it was print’s last hurrah – or so we thought. A fascinating ecosystem of influence between high and low culture, this stimulating volume makes sense of the decade’s recurring motifs, trends and themes, from supermodels to airport style and from the fall of the Soviet Union to the end of the world.
