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.
Inverzní romantika
Kniha obsahuje širší studii o pojmu inverzní romantiky v kontextu současného umění a myšlení. Dále představuje pět předních současných umělců (I. Pinkava, J. Bolf, M. Gerboc, J. Petrbok, R. Stipl) reprezentujících média fotografie, malby, kresby a sochy, v jejichž díle je inverzita zásadním způsobem přítomná a plní tu kritickou roli ve vztahu k současnosti.
Autorem knihy je historik umění a kurátor Petr Vaňous. Pojem romantiky bývá v širším významu mimo striktní terminologii dějin umění spojen s označením projevů různě vyhrocené fantazie. Inverzní označuje potom cosi převráceného, obráceného či zvráceného. Stojíme tedy před pojmem, který požaduje po recipientovi určitou schopnost empatie a obrazotvornosti. Projevy spojené s fantazií (romantika) uvádí do rámce, který mění osvětlení pojmu a převrací jeho původní význam. Termín má dynamický ráz, protože se vztahuje k čemusi a označuje cosi, co se odehrává v procesu a jako proces.
Rebellisek
"Husz János, prágai egyetemi tanár szellemi mozgalma termékeny talajra talál az erdélyi parasztság körében is, annál inkább, mivel a huszitizmus nemcsak vallási, de társadalmi tekintetben is az elavult feudális rend ellen fordul.
Az 1437-es erdélyi Budai Nagy Antal-féle parasztfelkelés, amelyben a kisnemesség is szerepet vállal, az akkori társadalmi ellentétek kiéleződését jelentette; számos, kisebb-nagyobb lázongás jelzi már odáig is az utat.
Budai Nagy Antal parasztserege fegyveres harcban győzelmet arat a feudális urakkal vívott küzdelemben, de harca végül elbukik, mint minden felkelés, ha más, befolyásosabb társadalmi réteg nem áll az élére.
Az 1437-es erdélyi parasztfelkelés idején már általánossá válik a pénzgazdálkodás. A főpapok a nekik járó tizedet, és a világi, feudális hatalmasságok a nekik járó kilencedet nagyrészt pénzben követelik a jobbágyságtól.
Zsigmond király, hogy az udvar fényűző kiadásait egyensúlyban tudja tartani, a pénzrontás eszközéhez folyamodik az 1433-as esztendőben.
Lépes György erdélyi püspök, arra számítván, hogy a pénz értéke később visszaáll, három évig megszünteti a papi tized beszedését."
Japanese Tattoos
The intimate relationship of Japanese tattooing with the dark world of the yakuza has helped cover this form of artistic expression with an aura of mystery. But the culture of irezumi is deep and rich in meanings, shapes and motifs that have gone from color woodblock prints to being applied to the skin to beautify and protect their bearers. This book reveals the meaning and the secrets behind the most significant motifs from traditional Japanese tattooing-such as mythological and supernatural creatures, animals, Buddhist deities, flowers and historical characters-and turns this art form into a path toward personal knowledge and individual expression.
Readers will discover the origin and meaning of each visual representation of the most frequent themes in this art form. Irezumi itai begins with a brief review of the history of Japanese tattoo art and then examines each subject (water, mythological animals, real animals, mythological characters, historical characters, flowers, shunga and yokai) through images and descriptive texts; it also includes a gallery of original designs by the author and a glossary.
Ver Sacrum
With work by Klimt, Schiele and others, Ver Sacrum set the standard for magazine design
This book gathers the covers of Ver Sacrum, the official magazine of the Vienna Secession, which ran from 1898 to 1903. Published for the 120th anniversary of this historic magazine, it reproduces all 120 regular issues--plus some special, limited-edition covers--in 1:1 scale, alongside a selection of block prints, lithographs and copper engravings.
Ver Sacrum (meaning "Sacred Spring" in Latin) was conceived by Gustav Klimt, Max Kurzweil and Ludwig Hevesi. During its six years of activity, 471 original drawings were made specifically for the magazine, along with 55 lithographs and copper engravings and 216 block prints, by artists such as Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Koloman Moser, Otto Wagner, Max Fabiani, Joseph Maria Olbrich and Josef Hoffmann. Writers such as Rainer Maria Rilke, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Maurice Maeterlinck, Knut Hamsun, Otto Julius Bierbaum, Richard Dehmel, Ricarda Huch, Conrad Ferdinand Meyer and Arno Holz were published in its pages.
Ver Sacrum reveals the tremendous originality of the Jugendstil language, a cornerstone of modernity that elaborated new forms of design, illustration and print/editorial composition.

Barvy (v) textu
Tahy 2017 jsou dohrou happeningu, který proběhl na podzim roku 2016 v nově otevřené Posledního příruční knihovně pardubické univerzity.
Číslo, které mělo zachytit písmem vzájemnou náhlou myšlenkovou propojenost účastníků setkání, se nakonec zrodilo post festum, na jiných místech, v jiném čase, se zřetelem na přítomnost i nepřítomnost barevnosti v kulturních projevech české, balkánské a maďarské provenience.
The Word is Art
There has been much scaremongering about the `death of the book', and how, as words find new ways and means of transmission, young people might gradually begin to shun writing. In the digital age, text becomes information, and information strives to become free. But what value can text hold in the sphere of visual art? How is such text different from poetry? Can the poetic itself be visual art, or is text in this context consigned to the realms of gimmick and catchphrase?
Looking at the work of a broad range of artists including Bruce Nauman, Julien Breton, Jeremy Deller, Takashi Murakami, Tracey Emin, Christian Boltanski and many more, The Word is Art examines each of these questions, contending above all that in the digital and online age, words have become more important than ever. With the advent of texting and social media, many predicted the debasement of language, and some have pointed to evidence of this in our so-called `post-truth' culture. Artist Michael Petry demonstrates that, on the contrary, words remain critical, powerful and central to art practice.
Digital communication has seen the word as text permeate life in ways that the poets and artists of yesterday could never have imagined. Presenting a brief history of word- and book-based art, and examining major areas where the word has dominated artistic practice, this book takes us on a fascinating and richly illustrated global tour of diverse contemporary art forms.

Giger
Swiss artist HR Giger (1940-2014) is most famous for his creation of the space monster in Ridley Scott's 1979 horror sci-fi film Alien, which earned him an Oscar. In retrospect, this was just one of the most popular expressions of Giger's biomechanical arsenal of creatures, which consistently merged hybrids of human and machine into images of haunting power and dark psychedelia.The visions drew on demons of the past, harking back as far as Giger's earliest childhood fears as well as evoking mythologies for the future. Above all, they gave expression to the collective fears and fantasies of his age: fear of the atom, of pollution and wasted resources, and of a future in which our bodies depend on machines for survival.From surrealist dream landscapes created with a spray gun and stencils to album cover designs, from guillotine-like sculptures to self-designed bars, Giger personally guides us through his multi-faceted universe in this definitive introduction to a master of horror. Detailed reproductions and designs and a foreword by Timothy Leary complement Giger's intimate autobiographical texts.
Music as an Art
Music as an Art begins by examining music through a philosophical lens, engaging in discussions about tonality, music and the moral life, music and cognitive science and German idealism, as well as recalling the author's struggle to encourage his students to distinguish the qualities of good music. Scruton then explains - via erudite chapters on Schubert, Britten, Rameau, opera and film - how we can develop greater judgement in music, recognising both good taste and bad, establishing musical values, as well as musical pleasures.
As Scruton argues in this book, in earlier times, our musical culture had secure foundations in the church, the concert hall and the home; in the ceremonies and celebrations of ordinary life, religion and manners. Yet we no longer live in that world. Fewer people now play instruments and music is, for many, a form of largely solitary enjoyment. As he shows in Music as an Art, we live at a critical time for classical music, and this book is an important contribution to the debate, of which we stand in need, concerning the place of music in Western civilization.
