Immortal Thoughts
A remarkable, heartfelt, beautifully written analysis of the late work of 19 major artists that Max Porter describes as 'completely and utterly marvellous'.
'Painting … exists and exults in immortal thoughts' William Blake
In 2020, as the spread of Covid-19 causes pandemonium worldwide, an elderly artist returns to his childhood home to watch the transcendent beauty of the seasons and reflect on the final work of the artists he most admires. It seems to him that in their final art works - their late style - that they have something remarkable in common. This has more to do with intuition and memory than with rationality or reason and comes from trying to write about painting itself.
Immortal Thoughts: Late Style in a Time of Plague is an anthology of these reflections. In this personal and moving account, nineteen short essays on artists are interspersed with short accounts of the cataclysmic global progress of the disease in poignant contrast to the beauty of the seasons in the isolated house and garden, narrative strands that are closely intertwined. From Cézanne's last watercolours to Michelangelo's final five drawings, Rembrandt and suffering to Gwen John and absence, Christopher Neve dwells on artists' late ideas, memory, risk, handling and places, in the terrible context of Time and mortality.
As much art history as a discussion of great art in the context of the Dance of Death, Neve writes with renewed passion about Bonnard, Michelangelo, Morandi, Poussin, Soutine and many others in his distinctive style.
The Book of Miracles, 45th Ed.
A full, faithful reproduction of the German 16th-century manuscript of supernatural phenomena, and one of the most spectacular discoveries in Renaissance art. Blending Bible stories, folklore, and apocalyptic visions in rich, luminous detail, this is a mesmerizing document of religious belief, mystery, foreboding, and visual imagination.
Awesome apocalyptic visions of the 16th century
The Book of Miracles first surfaced several ago and is one of the most spectacular discoveries in the field of Renaissance art. The near-complete illustrated manuscript, created in Augsburg around 1550, is composed of 169 pages of large-format illustrations in gouache and watercolor, depicting wondrous and often eerie phenomena.
The mesmerizing images deal with both biblical and folkloric tales, depicting stories from the Old Testament and Book of Revelation as well as events that took place in the immediate present of the manuscript’s author. From shooting stars to swarms of locusts, terrifying monsters to fatal floods, page after page hypnotizes with visions alternately dreadful, spectacular, and even apocalyptic.
This volume presents the revelatory Book of Miracles in a new, compact format, making this extraordinary document accessible to everyone. It comes with a translation of the manuscript texts and an essay that gives an introduction to the cultural and historical context of this unique Renaissance work.

Acts of Resistance
In Acts of Resistance, Amber Massie-Blomfield writes about the artists who have treated the protest site as their canvas and contributed to movements that have transformed history - from the musicians in Auschwitz to the four-year Siege of Sarajevo, from the to ACT UP's 1989 invasion of the New York Stock Exchange, to the Niger Delta and indigenous communities in Bolivia.

Medium Hot
Hito Steyerl is one of the most celebrated artists of our time. Her work, both as an artist and a writer, has consistently challenged the political boundaries between art and technology. In this new collection of groundbreaking essays, she explores how AI, the use of large language models and the algorithmic creation of imagery transform our understanding of the world.
She argues that such practices cannot be divorced from the economic and political conditions of the times. Medium Hot is a collection of scintillating meditations on the limits of art and technology: the essential handbook for the present conjuncture. The pieces here probe the manufacture and distribution of images in the age of AI and climate change.
She asks whether art can be made not only by machines but for machines. She argues against the production of images that heat up the planet, disfranchise workers and fuel the arms trade, and questions whether such creations can even be called art. In an era of such rapid change, Steyerl does vital work investigating whether machine learning will infiltrate every aspect of our lives and what that means for the future.
The Militant Muse
A beautifully written and elegantly constructed narrative that explores the intense, complex and far-reaching female friendships among the Surrealists during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s.
The Militant Muse documents what it meant to be young, ambitious and female in the context of an avant-garde movement defined by celebrated men whose educational, philosophical and literary backgrounds were often quite different from those of their younger lovers and companions.
Focusing on the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, Whitney Chadwick charts five intense, far-reaching female friendships among the surrealists to show how surrealism and the experiences of war, loss and trauma shaped individual women's transitions from beloved muses to mature artists. Her vivid account includes the fascinating story of Claude Cahun and Suzanne Malherbe's subversive activities in occupied Jersey, as well as the experiences of Lee Miller and Valentine Penrose at the frontline. The book draws on personal correspondence between the women, including the extraordinary letters between Leonora Carrington and Leonor Fini following the imprisonment of Carrington's lover Max Ernst, and the letter Frida Kahlo shared with her friend and lover Jacqueline Lamba years after it was written in the 1930s during a difficult stay in Paris.
This thoroughly engrossing history brings a new perspective to the political context of surrealism, as well as fresh insights on the vital importance of female friendship to artistic and intellectual flowering.

Little Histories - Inspiring Guides for Curious Minds
Poetika kódování: Umění v technocénu
Světu dnes vládnou proprietární algoritmy, tajná datová úložiště a neproniknutelné systémy. Jak se to odráží v umění? Nadim Samman v Poetice kódování analyzuje díla, která zdůrazňují skryté dimenze naší technologické krajiny. Na rozdíl od klamných tvrzení o nové kultuře transparentnosti a otevřenosti se tato díla zaměřují na černá místa, černé skříňky a černé díry, zatímco se pohybují na hranici mezi informovaným znepokojením a okultním sněním.
Tajně naživu/ Secretly Alive
Taneční umělkyně Mish Rais, Mirka Eliášová a Lizzy Le Quesne se v publikaci Tajně naživu setkávají jako editorky, aby sdílely objevy a podněty vzešlé ze společného výzkumného projektu „Improvizace jako choreografický, autorský a tvůrčí princip“. V rámci výzkumu pozvaly také šest renomovaných umělkyň a umělců, aby se potkali ve studiu v praktickém výzkumu a při rozhovorech, které reflektují jejich vtělenou zkušenost s taneční improvizací. Rosalind Crisp, Julyen Hamilton, Wendy Houstoun, Eva Karczag, Daniel Lepkoff a Nita Little sdílejí rozbíhající a sbíhající se cesty k improvizaci, názory na pedagogiku, okamžitou kompozici a své strategie i zkušenosti s tvorbou a vystupováním na jevišti. Šest rozhovorů doprovázejí studie každé ze tří badatelek, jež v nich uvažují o tvůrčí hodnotě a potenciálu taneční improvizace z různých úhlů pohledu: jako o choreografickém procesu, jako o disciplíně všímání si a konečně jako o prostoru pro experimentování s vytvářením souvislostí. Kniha odhaluje historii improvizace v západním postmoderním tanci a zároveň prostřednictvím reflexí umělkyň a umělců přibližuje současnou improvizační praxi. Jako taková je užitečná pro umělce a umělkyně, studentstvo, učitelstvo i diváctvo taneční improvizace. In Secretly Alive, dance artists Mish Rais, Mirka Eliášová and Lizzy Le Quesne meet as editors to share the questions and discoveries of the three-year artistic research project ‘Improvisation as Choreographic, Authorial and Creative Principle’. The editors invited six renowned artists into the studio and conducted in-depth interviews exploring their embodied practices. Rosalind Crisp, Julyen Hamilton, Wendy Houstoun, Eva Karczag, Daniel Lepkoff and Nita Little share their diverging and converging journeys to improvisation, their views on pedagogy and instant composition, and their strategies and experiences of making and performing for the stage. The six interviews are accompanied by essays by each of the three researcher-editors considering dance improvisation‘s creative value and potential from different angles: as a choreographic process, a discipline of awareness and a site of relational experimentation. Revealing both histories of improvisation in Western postmodern dance and details of current improvisational practices through the reflections of six major artists, this book will be of use to artist practitioners, students, teachers and audiences of dance improvisation
Abstrakce a vcítění
Po více než dvaceti letech vychází nový překlad klasického teoretického spisu o umění z roku 1908, který výrazně ovlivnil například českou předválečnou, zejména kubistickou avantgardu. Autor v něm aplikoval psychologický pojem vcítění na dějiny slohů.
Screenprints (Victoria & Albert Museum)
A celebration of the rich 20th- and 21st-century tradition of screenprinting as a means of artistic expression, from its commercial origins in 1920s America to the limited-edition screenprints of the post-war period and today, by artists such as Andy Warhol, Bridget Riley and Damien Hirst.
Screenprints: A History, the first title in the V&A's new series on the history and practice of printmaking, is a celebration of the fine-art applications of this versatile medium, from the commercial origins of the screenprinting process in 1920s America, its pivotal role in 1960s Pop and Op Art among artists such as Andy Warhol and Bridget Riley, through to its adoption by Damien Hirst and the YBAs of the 1990s, and its enduring presence in contemporary art. This beautifully designed, strikingly illustrated introduction will appeal to art lovers and practising artists everywhere.
The origins of the screenprinting process are introduced through early artistic precursors, such as the stencil and pochoir printing in the making of Henri Matisse’s Jazz, and other artists’ books. Screenprinting became one of the most important techniques in the rise of artists’ limited-edition fine art prints from the 1960s onwards, seen here in the work of notable figures such as Roy Lichtenstein and Eduardo Paolozzi, and contemporary artists such as Damien Hirst, who have variously engaged with the medium’s commercial origins and, conversely, its capacity for a hand-made aesthetic.
Special focus is given to lesser-known names who pioneered the use of the screenprint in fine art in the UK, the USA and Europe, including Francis Carr and Ben Shahn, while tracing its global spread through Africa, the Caribbean and Australasia. An illustrated, step-by-step guide to the practical process further enriches this multifaceted account. The democratic medium has further lent itself to spontaneous graphic protest, notably in the Atelier Populaire posters made in Paris in 1968, featured here and embodying screenprinting’s unique qualities, rich colours and graphic impact.

Expressionism
A comprehensive new overview of expressionism, tracing its evolution from the nineteenth century to the present day.
Expressionist artists believed in the art object’s ability to communicate emotion, irrespective of any representational or narrative content.
