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. In this comprehensive introduction to one of the most radical artistic movements of our time, writer, artist, curator and educator Colin Rhodes traces the thread of expressionist thought from the nineteenth century to the present day, mapping its various manifestations across Europe and the USA, as well as parts of Africa, Asia and South America.
By paying particular attention to nuanced issues of gender, sexuality, and cultural appropriation Rhodes challenges the received art-historical narrative and reassesses it in the context of broader twentieth and twenty-first century artistic practice. Generously illustrated, the diverse selection of artists featured in this book range from Wassily Kandinsky, Erma Bossi, Francis Bacon, and Mark Rothko to Ursula Schultze-Bluhm, Gillian Ayres, Purvis Young and Jadé Fadojutimi.
Illustration: A Concise History
An indispensable guide to the international history of illustrated images, from 1750 to the present day.
Illustration: A Concise History is a dynamic visual journey through the landscape of illustration that maps the evolution of the discipline from the industrial revolution to the post-digital age and showcases over 180 of its most iconic practitioners, including Laura Knight, Antonio Lopez, Käthe Kollwitz and Hayao Miyazaki. By contextualizing the subject within a framework of key political events, cultural innovations and technological advances, Andrew Hall redefines how we might think about illustration and the place that it has in our ever-evolving global network.
The second half of this introductory volume follows on from the ten chapters charting the chronology of illustration to provide a more in-depth look at its specific commercial genres across eleven feature sections, each including mini-histories, practical career advice and biographies of inspirational practitioners who operated within the field.
What Art Can Tell Us About Love
Discover the love affairs that inspired art's greatest masterpieces.
Whether in the throes of passion, enduring the pain of an unrequited love or basking in the joy of a wonderfully supportive friendship, this book explores how love influenced artists and the work they created.
Beautifully illustrated with full-colour photographs of more than 70 artworks, this guide looks at how artists have painted, sketched and modelled their lovers, and how the theme of love has found its way into an array of subjects - from landscapes to still-life and self-portraits.
Artists include: Caravaggio, Georgia O'Keefe, Sarah Bernhardt, Picasso, Rembrandt, Frida Kahlo, Tamara de Lempicka, Clifford Prince-King, Chagall, Lotte Laserstein and Niki de Saint Phalle.
Pracující dívka
Toužíme po umění a sexu, protože toužíme po lidské autenticitě, čistých emocích a kráse. A přesto se obojí v kapitalistické společnosti stává komoditou a kapitálem. Vedena osobní zkušeností nás Sophia Giovannitti provádí reáliemi umělecké a sexuální práce, aby prozkoumala jejich blízkost a vzájemné podmiňování. S přesností a pečlivostí odhaluje materiální podmínky sexu a umění a ptá se: Můžeme tuto nevyvratitelnou realitu využít ve svůj prospěch a svou svobodu? Jak si vzít vše, aniž bychom museli dávat sebe samotné?
Díky poutavé kombinaci osobních příběhů, kritické (auto)teorie a exkurzů do dějin umění a sex práce lze považovat Pracující dívku za zásadní dílo současné feministické teorie umění. Sophia Giovannitti nám ukazuje, jak pro sebe ukořistit to, čeho si ceníme nejvíc, aniž bychom byli někomu dlužni. Řečeno autorčinými slovy: „Nechci, aby mi kdokoli cokoli bral. Chci svobodně dávat nebo prodávat.“

Nový příběh
Kniha vycházející z dizertační práce zkoumá dějiny umění z neobvyklé perspektivy: stručně představuje nový příběh dějin umění, který postupně vznikal péčí českých historiček a historiků umění po roce 1989, text se však zaměřuje především na jednotlivé prostředky konstruování nového uměleckohistorického kánonu. Ačkoli tento termín dlouho nepatřil v oborových debatách k nejfrekventovanějším, představuje klíčový prostředek komunikace s veřejností. Kniha zkoumá celkem tři relevantní oblasti. Nejprve stálé expozice, které v průběhu devadesátých let otevírala česká, moravská a slezská muzea výtvarného umění, dále koncepty, jež měla k porozumění nově překládanému narativu dějin umění veřejnost, a konečně otázku, jak bylo poválečné české umění zpracováno v učivu základní školy, zejména v dějepisu a ve výtvarné výchově.
Oni dva
Kniha pojednává o vzájemném vztahu dvou významných umělců sochaře Otto Gutfreunda (1889 – 1927) a architekta Otakara Novotného (1880 – 1959), které spojovalo nejen přátelství a rodinné vazby, ale i vztah k Praze, do jejíž podoby se oba nesmazatelně zapsali. Text vycházející z rodinných archivů se pohybuje na hranici beletrie a uměno-historické studie, přináší mnohé neznámé skutečnosti nasvěcující život dvou umělců v hranicích času, který jim byl vyměřen. Stává se tak jedním z klíčů k porozumění jejich výjimečnému tvůrčímu odkazu. Zásadním přínosem knihy je obrazový esej zkomponovaný z dosud nezveřejněných fotografií, které nejsou pouhým záznamem jejich životů, ale nechávají čtenáře nahlédnout též do společenského a historického koloritu překotné doby.
The Parthenon Marbles
The Parthenon Marbles (formerly known as the Elgin Marbles), designed and executed by Pheidias to adorn the Parthenon, are perhaps the greatest of all classical sculptures. In 1801, Lord Elgin, then ambassador to the Turkish government, had chunks of the frieze sawn off and shipped to England, where they were subsequently seized by Parliament and sold to the British Museum to help pay off his debts.
This scandal, exacerbated by the inept handling of the sculptures by their self-appointed guardians, remains unresolved to this day. In his fierce, eloquent account of a shameful piece of British imperial history, Christopher Hitchens makes the moral, artistic, legal and political case for re-unifying the Parthenon frieze in Athens.
The opening of the New Acropolis Museum emphatically trumps the British Museum's long-standing (if always questionable) objection that there is nowhere in Athens to house the Parthenon Marbles. With contributions by Nadine Gordimer and Professor Charalambos Bouras, The Parthenon Marbles will surely end all arguments about where these great treasures belong, and help bring a two-centuries-old disgrace to a just conclusion.
Drawing Masterclass
Analyses the visual approaches and techniques of 100 great artists, and shows you how to weave some of this magic into your own drawings.
Drawing Masterclass analyses some of the most fascinating drawings by some of the best artists the world has ever known: the way they were made, what they do well (or badly) and how and what we can learn from them.
The book is organized into chapters covering seven important genres: nudes, figures, landscapes, still life and studies, heads, fantasy and abstraction. Each chapter selects a cross section of artists and examines their practice in detail, using key drawings to serve as perfect examples of a particular quality in drawing. Light and shade, rhythm, form, space, contour and composition are all covered in detail. Each artist is described through one of their masterpieces, plus a biographical profile and a practical look at the way the drawing was made: the materials and technique, as well as an examination of the ideas and inspiration behind its making and how the artist's life might reflect their concerns. The book covers a broad historical and geographic sweep, and includes many of the most celebrated male and female artists. Their artworks are shown not as styles to be copied blindly or as the magical work of untouchable gods, but as real objects that were made by human beings.
65,000 Years of Australian Art
A landmark publication on the history of Indigenous Australian art that calls us to bear witness to 65,000 years of continuous culture, Indigenous knowledge and powerful art.
65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art stares into the dark heart of Australia’s brutal colonial history and offers new insights into the first art of this country.
Long before Britain’s invasion of Australia in 1788, First Peoples’ cultural and design traditions flourished for thousands of generations. Their art shaped the continent as we know it today and the societies that thrived here; but these continuing artistic practices and new art forms were disregarded by the settlers, and not considered to be ‘fine art’ until the late 1980s.
In this publication, twenty-five writers urge us to reconsider the art history that is unique to the Australian continent and to acknowledge its rise to prominence in modern times. Featuring new writing by leading thinkers across generations and disciplines, it celebrates Indigenous Australian art across media, time and language groups.
Today Indigenous art and artists are at the forefront of contemporary art practice. In very real and tangible ways, this publication reveals the artistic brilliance of Australia’s First Peoples and stands as a testament to their resilience.

Gothic (1200 - 1500)
Painting from 1200 to 1500 is a mirror of its time, marked by deep religiousness as well as progressive tendencies, by economic prosperity as well as devastating wars and epidemics. A religious perspective is joined by secular themes and efforts to achieve a realistic way of representation. These developments take place in book illumination, which is accessible to rather few people, as well as in the public medium of frescoes and, since 1300, also in panel paintings. With nearly 500 works, Gothic 1200-1500 gives an overview of the visual art of the time.
Spanish Painting 2 (1665-1920)
From the lavish abundance of the late Baroque court and epoch-making painters like Bartolomé Esteban Murillo and Francisco de Goya, to the appearance of Romanticism and Classicism in the age of the art academies, and the innovative and sometimes scandalous achievements of modernism, Spanish painting offers an extraordinary panorama of outstanding artists, styles, and themes. With around 450 illustrations, Spanish Painting (1665–1920) illuminates the developments from the end of the Golden Age in the 17th century to the early 20th century, and thus serves as a companion to the equally opulent volume Spanish Painting 1200–1665 from Romanesque to the Baroque.
Spanish Painting 1 (1200-1665)
From the medieval works of Romanesque and Gothic art to the golden age of the Baroque, from the famous Beatus Apocalypses to Diego Velázquez and Francisco de Zurbarán, Spanish painting offers a unique abundance of artistic themes and styles. Intimately connected with the needs and power displays of the Habsburg dynasty and the Church, Spanish art developed an idiom as varied as it was distinctive. Spanish Painting 1200–1665 covers over 500 works.
Art of Florence
In the late Middle Ages and in the Renaissance, Florence was a capital of the arts, in the 15th century (Quattrocento) the greatest art metropolis of all. Here the wishes of rich merchants and bankers met with the skills of artists such as Brunelleschi, Masaccio or Donatello. Even in Florence today, the past is present through art, from the Cathedral, whose dome rises above the city, to the squares, churches and palaces, to the sculptures in public space.
