Self-Portrait, from Schiele to Beckmann
This visually stunning volume offers perceptive examinations of several renowned German and Austrian Expressionist artists who redefined modern self-portraiture. The self-portrait has been a vital aspect of artistic expression throughout history. Neo-Classical painters such as El Greco and Rembrandt formalized the practice, and the first half of the 20th century saw a dramatic transformation in the self-portrait's style and context, especially in the hands of the German and Austrian Expressionists. Vibrant reproductions of works by Egon Schiele, Max Beckmann, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Oskar Kokoschka, and others are accompanied by essays that explore how these artists--many of whom were classified as "degenerate" by the Nazi party--imbued their images with eloquent expressions of resistance, isolation, entrapment, and provocation. From Schiele's erotically charged and overtly physical paintings to Beckmann's emotionally fraught depictions of psychic trauma, this important examination of a powerful aspect of modern European painting brilliantly illustrates how the Expressionist self-portrait became a powerful weapon against artistic oppression.
Tate - Colour - A Visual History
Discover the story of colour through the significant scientific discoveries and key artist's works over 400 years.
From Isaac Newton's investigations through to Olafur Eliasson's experiential creations, this stunning book documents the fascinating story of colour with an extraordinary collection of original colour material that includes charts, wheels, artists' palettes, swatches and schemes.
"In 1704, the scientist Isaac Newton published Opticks, the result of many years of researching light and colour. By splitting white light, Newton identified the visible range of colours, or the rainbow spectrum. In Opticks, he built a colour system around his findings, and he visualised this system in a circular shape, making it one of the first printed colour wheels.
The influence of Newton and his followers, combined with the invention of many new pigments as well as watercolours in moist cake form, had made painting with colour an exciting occupation not just for serious artists but also for a much wider audience. The colour revolution had begun."

Japan in Miniature - A Gift of Inro, Ojime und Netsuke
The private collection of 80 inro, ojime and netsuke presented here was donated to the Museum for Lacquer Art in 2017. The wealth of objects reproduces plants and animals with symbolic significance, literary subjects, historical scenes and famous landscape scenarios - and thus presents an image of Japan in miniature.
An inro, meaning "seal container" in English, is a small, flat stackable box which a Japanese man in a kimono could carry on the silk belt slung around his hips. This gem was invented in the late sixteenth century, and before long numerous workshops were specialised in its production. The donation of a private collector to the Museum for Lacquer Art includes 80 inro with a variety of decorative techniques and shows a wide range of artistically designed motifs. This new acquisition of astounding quality and diversity has been knowledgeably compiled in this inventory catalogue by Heinz and Else Kress.

Villanycigány - minden, vagy legalább amire emlékszem
"Senki, de tényleg senki nem venné kezébe ezt a könyvet, ha nem lennék véletlenül tagja annak a bizonyos zenekarnak" - állítja Christian Lorenz, azaz Flake, a Rammstein billentyűse első könyvéről, ami egyszerre az NDK mindennapjairól és zenei undergroundjáról szóló kordokumentum, fiatalkori visszaemlékezés és zenekarok története. A mű Németországban közel öt hónapig szerepelt a Der Spiegel bestsellerlistáján, első kiadása két hét alatt elfogyott.
A könyv eredeti címe, a Der Tastenficker (szó szerinti fordításban billentyűbasztató) a néhai NDK-ban egy szál szintetizátorral "vendéglátózó" zenészek gúnyneve volt. Ennek körülbelüli magyar megfelelője a villanycigány, ami egyszerre jelölheti a hangszert és a rajta játszó embert. (Köszönjük a címötletet Nagy Andornak, a Shockmagazin.hu munkatársának!)
Idols - The Power of Images
With Idols, Annie Caubet, archaeologist and Curator Emeritus of the Louvre, takes readers on an aesthetic journey across time and space. Caubet surveys the beginnings of human figurative imagery from 4000-2000 BCE, as the Neolithic Era's ambiguous three-dimensional figures developed and spread across the world, from the Iberian peninsula to the Indus Valley, from the gates of the Atlantic to the confines of the Far East. Caubet's book traces an artistic revolution that would shape the rest of human history, as the idol (from the Greek eidolon, or image) evolved to represent and express power, myth and belief in the human form.
Idols climbs mountains, treks through steppes and deserts and braves oceans and seas to reveal networks of connections, a commonality of perception and contacts between remote lands at the dawn of anthropomorphic figurative culture.

Chromatopia - An Illustrated History of Colour
Did you know that the Egyptians created the first synthetic colour; or that the noblest purple comes from a predatory sea snail? Throughout history, artist pigments have been made from deadly metals, poisonous minerals, urine, cow dung, and even crushed insects.
From grinding down beetles and burning animal bones to alchemy and pure luck, Chromatopia reveals the origin stories behind over fifty of history's most vivid colour pigments. Spanning the ancient world to modern leaps in technology, this is the book for the artist, the history buff, the science lover and the design fanatic.
Renaissance People
Like every era, the Renaissance brims with stories. In this book, Robert Davis and Beth Lindsmith highlight dozens of notable lives from between 1400 and 1600. They bring to life wily politicians, eccentric scientists, fiery rebels and stolid reactionaries, as well as a pornographer, an acrobat, an actress, a poetic prostitute, a star comedian and a least one very fretful mother. Some names - Leonardo, Luther, Medici and Machiavelli - are famous, but many others will be new to general readers. Their stories, ninety-four in all, remind us that history is more than dates and abstract concepts: it also arises from the lives of countless individual men and women.
The World Atlas of Tattoo
Lively and informative, The World Atlas of Tattoo is a superbly illustrated and compelling reference book that, through examining the meeting point between tattoo artists and their personal understanding of their environment, presents a well-informed and nuanced account of what has become a widespread art practice. Organized geographically, each section is introduced by a short historical overview of the types of tattooing traditionally practised in that area of the world, enabling the reader to trace historical threads in the careers of some of the profiled tattooers, as well as marvel at how other artists have managed to create novel forms of tattooing that transcend any previous context. The book also tracks the movement of styles from their indigenous settings to diasporic communities, where they have often been transformed into creative, multicultural, hybrid designs. Written by an international team of scholars, historians and journalists, this comprehensive atlas will enlighten and excite anyone who is passionate about tattoo art in its many forms worldwide.
Picasso - Ceramics
Picasso's ceramics express the restless, fluid ease of his late years
In 1946, Pablo Picasso visited an exhibition of ceramics in Vallauris, an area in southeastern France known for its many potteries. He would move to the region soon after, establishing a steady relationship with the Madoura ceramics workshop in 1948.
It was a watershed moment for Picasso, who throughout his long life was always on the lookout for new artistic challenges in all conceivable materials. Picasso's experiments with various ceramic materials, oxides and glazes would produce a huge body of work: some 4,000 ceramic objects bearing the motifs of animals, fauns and women evoked through Picasso's whimsical, elegant handling of shape and line. This major body of work in ceramics forms a lesser-known but highly original part of the oeuvre of an artist who was constantly reinventing himself and his forms.
This book presents more than 150 of Picasso's most important ceramic works reproduced in beautiful four-color printing, as well as new texts about the artist's pieces in this medium. The book also contains a detailed glossary of ceramic terms and a review of the forms most commonly used by Picasso. The only book in print on this beautiful and highly imaginative part of Picasso's oeuvre, Picasso: Ceramics is an essential volume.

Így filmeztünk
Szekfü András Így filmeztünk című interjúkötete kettőzötten idézi meg a filmtörténeti múltidőt. Egyfelől a 2018-as megjelenés már egy közel ötvenéves restanciát orvosol, másfelől a '60-70-es évek fordulóján rögzített beszélgetéseken keresztül egy még korábbi éra sajátos világa elevenedik meg.
A kettős múltidő kettős retorikát is eredményez: a szocializmus évtizedei alatt a megnyilatkozók őszinteségük ellenére óhatatlanul igazodnak a kor politikai elvárásaihoz. A kötet egyediségét mégis ez adja: az olvasó úgy kaphat képet egy - Ranódy László szavaival - páratlanul izgalmas időszakról, hogy azt nem filmtörténészek utólagos interpretációja, hanem az azt megélők élményszerű, sokszor anekdotikus és nagyon is emberi visszaemlékezései teszik színessé.
Szekfü András interjúválogatása számtalan eddig ismeretlen történetet, információt, filmtörténeti adalékot - azaz valódi kincseket menekít ki a magnószalagról e könyv lapjaira.
We Ate the Acid
Artist Joe Roberts has spent more than a decade honing a deeply unique and unapologetically hallucinogenic style of art. Through paintings, drawings and mixed-media works, Roberts navigates a world of cosmic imagery, pop cultural detritus, and shifting geometric forms, bringing to life both the creeping unease and the uncanny humor of the psychedelic experience. Collecting over 100 new and recent works along with an introduction by Hamilton Morris (Hamilton's Pharmacopeia), We Ate the Acid is the latest product of Roberts' visionary journeys and a testament to his expansive, singular imagination.
Ilyet én is tudok - Sokmilliós művek kalapács alatt
Modern vagy kortárs, elsősorban absztrakt, nonfiguratív műveket bemutató képzőművészeti kiállításokon rendszeresen hallható a megjegyzés: "Ilyet én is tudok..." Amikor pedig egy ekként minősített alkotás dollár- vagy fontmilliókért cserél gazdát, joggal érkezik a kérdés: "Ki az a #*@, aki ennyi pénzt ad ezért?" Márpedig a világ legdrágábban elkelő műtárgyai között ma a legtöbb sztártétel az úgynevezett post-war vagy a kortárs művek közül kerül ki. A könyv ezekből a topleütésekből válogat, bemutatva a művek szerzőit, az alkotások történetét, illetve megpróbál szakmabeli elemzések segítségével magyarázatot találni a sokszor irracionálisnak tűnő árakra.
Martos Gábor 2000 óta foglalkozik a műkereskedelem elméleti kérdéseivel. Ez a kötet a kiadónknál korábban megjelent Műkereskedelem - Egy cápa ára című könyvének ikerdarabja.
Jean-Michel Basquiat
In 2018 the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris, is hosting exhibitons on two of the greatest artists of the 20th century - Egon Schiele, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Both exhibitions have the same curator, and are taking place at the same time. The shows illustrate exactly what it is that linked the two artists: line, and the use of expressive force.
This, the catalogue of the Basquiat exhibition, labelled "the definitive exhibition" by its curator, brings together 100 of the artist's most important masterpieces, sourced from interational museums and private collections. With the astonishing radicalness of his artistic practice, Basquiat renewed the concept of art with enduring impact. This Basquiat retrospective centres on the idea of Basquiat's unique energetic line, his use of words, symbols, and how he integrates collage in his paintings, sculptures, objects, and large-scale drawings.
The catalogue includes texts by great authors, including Paul Schimmel who tells of his meeting with Basquiat in California; Francesco Pellizi who knew Basquiat well and has not written about him for a long time; and Okwui Enwezor who talks about the Afro American identity.
Yang Liu. Big meets Little
As children, the world is our playground, our parents are both almighty heroes and merciless adversaries, and our homes are the territories where big and small battle for dominance. As adults, we lament the innocence, boundless wonder, and simple pleasures of childhood.
In this fourth installment of Yang Liu's best-selling pictogram series, the award-winning designer encapsulates the delights and debacles of family life with her characteristic measure of wit. Combining minimal infographics with incisive and touching observations about human nature, the crisp pictorials draw upon Liu's Chinese heritage; as in traditional calligraphy, the simpler the depiction, the deeper-seated the truth that is expressed.
With graphic precision, Big meets Little takes on the daily happenings of a family home by visually pairing the perspectives of grown-ups and our tiny counterparts. Simultaneously playful and painfully accurate, Liu distills the parenting narrative into bite-sized, insightful lessons. Over 128 pages, the clothbound volume cleverly contrasts the reality of parenthood with the glossy family portraits we're often sold-though not without a dose of tongue-in-cheek humor.
