Warhol
Commerce into art. This title deals with a critical observer of American society. Andy Warhol (1928-1987) is recognized today as the most important exponent of the Pop Art movement. He overturned the traditional understanding of art and placed in its stead a concept that retracts the individuality of the artist. Warhol was a critical observer of American society, exposing his compatriots' consumerism in his paintings ("Campbell and Brillo" series), as well as their fascination for sensational journalism. In 1963 Warhol founded his Factory in New York, literally a manufactory of ideas and work, which influenced film in the 1960s, published the influential magazine "Interview" in the late 1970s, and also produced Warhol's own artwork: Warhol conceived the idea, and a worker in his factory carried it out. The work remained (consciously) unsigned - a fact which nevertheless did nothing to diminish Warhol's reputation. He once complained that rich New Yorkers would willingly hang his Electric Chain in their living rooms - as long as its colours co-ordinated with the wallpaper and draperies. About the series: Every book in TASCHEN's "Basic Art Series" features: a detailed chronological summary of the artist's life and work, covering the cultural and historical importance of the artist; approximately 100 color illustrations with explanatory captions; and, a concise biography.
Mies van der Rohe
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) was one of the founding fathers of modern architecture, and creator of the Barcelona Pavilion (1929), the Farnsworth House in Plano, Illinois (1945-1951) and the Seagram Building in New York (1954-1958). Famed for his motto "less is more," Mies sought a refined purity in architectural expression that was missing from the vocabulary of his Bauhaus peers. He aimed to build for those of modest income while also building economically and sustainably, both in technical and esthetic terms; the use of industrial materials such as steel and glass were the foundation of this approach. Though his stark forms and modern materials provoked some criticism, over the years many have tried - most unsuccessfully-to copy his original and elegant style. This book explores more than 20 of his projects between 1906 and 1967, from his early work around Berlin to his most important American buildings.
Klee
Thinking eye: A unique language of symbols, literature, and light With meticulous theories and many thousands of paintings, drawings, and watercolors, Paul Klee (1879-1940)is considered one of the mostcerebral and prolific leaders of 20th century European art. Though typically small in scale, his works are remarkable for their sophisticated thought and meticulous nuances of line, color, and tonality.Klee s stylistic formation was shaped by early affiliation with the German expressionist groupDer Blaue Reiterand, in particular, by a 1914 trip to Tunisia which transformed his use of color. After the war, he taught at the esteemedBauhaus school, where his lectures, like his emerging practice, emphasized the symbolic potential of shade, line, and geometry. Klee was also inspired byCubism, poetry, music, literature, language, and the simplistic power ofchildren s art. Famed for his simple stick figures, he often combined the appearance of untutored naivety with rigorous composition and intellectual significance.This book provides a selection of key Klee works to introduce his style and influence. From sun-drenched landscapes to enigmatic wordplay, discover a world at once simplistic, symbolic, and dazzlingly colorful. About the Series: Each book in TASCHEN s Basic Art series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions "

Francis Bacon (1909-1992) possessed the rare ability to transform unconscious compulsions into figurative, human-like forms that seem to evoke the raw emotions that bore them. Mixing realism and abstraction, Bacon delves deep beneath the surfaces of things, opening up the human body to reveal the chaos that lies within and struggling with all that is inexplicable. Erotic and grotesquely beautiful is the work of this legendary painter whose haunting, distorted figures have inspired entire generations of painters who seek to emulate his highly original style.

Stavíme knižní vazbu
Knížka je hledáním východiska pro nové pojetí výuky knižní vazby. Toto pojetí je zaměřeno na výuku konstrukce knižní vazby jako na výuku estetického prvku uměleckořemeslného objektu. Knižní vazba je představena jako stavebnice z jednotlivých konstrukčních prvků, ty jsou definovány na základě rozboru historických knižních vazeb. Představeny jsou zejména konstrukce knižních vazeb z prvního tisíciletí našeho letopočtu, kdy byl zahájen a v podstatě i ukončen vývoj knižní vazby do podoby, jakou známe dnes. Popis konstrukce se týká zejména knižní vazby sestavené ze složek, která vznikla v západním civilizačním okruhu, a knižní vazby sestavené z dvoulistů, původem z Číny. Vývoj konstrukce knižní vazby je uveden do širších historických souvislostí. Publikace popisuje konfrontaci knižní vazby Východu a Západu, která dala vzniknout novým formám konstrukce a konstrukčních prvků. Grafika a ruční vazba Jan Hybner.

Self-Portraits
The self as a subject is one of the most fascinating and fruitful of artistic enterprises. From the 15th century to today, this collection brings together some of the best examples of self-portraiture to explore the genre's evolution over the centuries as well as the enduring questions of selfhood and self-representation that have besieged human experience for centuries before social media and the selfie. Is a self-portrait of an artist a medium of reflection? Or is it merely a black void, the "false mirror," as the Surrealist René Magritte entitled his 1928 painting of an eye? How much does it impart about contemporary notions of beauty, power, and status? From Albrecht Dürer to Egon Schiele, Fra Filippo Lippi to Frida Kahlo, this far-reaching collection explores the numerous ways in which artists have taken themselves as subjects, the variety of ingenious methods and perspectives they have used, and the intriguing questions they raise.
Dejiny hudby IV. - Klasicizmus

Abstract Expressionism
Abstract Expressionism is the most important art movement since the Second World War. Although it is often considered a revolution in painting alone for the images created by such leading figures as Jackson Pollock, Clyfford Still, Willem de Kooning and Mark Rothko remain altogether extraordinary its radical spirit extended further, encompassing the sculpture of David Smith and Aaron Siskinds photography. Along with other key artists such as Barnett Newman and Franz Kline, these artists formed a nucleus united not just against the tensions of American society from the 1930s onwards, but also in their aim to forge diverse new visual languages. David Anfam explores the movement in terms of its political implications and rich cultural contexts, bringing many fresh insights to the works themselves. Taking into account a wealth of scholarship, this new edition also has nearly one hundred works reproduced in colour.

Tibet
Kniha Tibet je ilustrovaný úvod do výnimočnej kultúry, predstavujúci jej umenie v celej sláve - od monumentálnych chrámov a živých nástenných malieb po lesy modlitebných vlajočiek a nádherné detailne vypracované sochy buddhov, božstiev a svätcov. Kniha obsahuje témy, ktoré dávno zamestnávajú ľudovú predstavivosť vrátane zložitých, mnohofarebných mandál, ktoré sú víziou celého roztvárajúceho sa vesmíru, hrdinov-svätcov, ktorí cestovali Tibetom a bojovali s božstvami hôr a údolí, dalajlamov, večne sa znovu rodiacich prevtelení veľkého bódhisattvu súcitu a hrozných bohov s mnohými rukami zvierajúcimi meč, ktorí pôsobia ako ochrancovia krajiny a jej náboženstiev. Tieto hlavné témy a mnohé ďalšie sú interpretované vizuálne prostredníctvom ikonografie, vzorov, motívov a symboliky, ako aj z hľadiska ich historického a duchovného významu. Kniha Tibet, dokonalý prírastok do každej knižnice umenia a predstavivosti, skĺbením slova s obrazom zavádza nové štandardy pri zaznamenávaní výdoby
