Anatomie skoku do prázdna
Publikace Anatomie skoku do prázdna představuje umělecká díla a realizace, které vznikly jako bezprostřední reakce na násilné potlačení pražského jara vojsky Varšavské smlouvy v roce 1968, a na následné období, kterým zmítaly jak snahy udržet otevřenou občanskou společnost, tak vést ji k opětné podřízenosti Komunistické straně a Sovětskému svazu. Vzniklá umělecká díla, která poznamenala jak invaze, smrt Jana Palacha a Jana Zajíce a nastupující normalizace. Publikace je soustředěna na léta 1966 až 1973, ve kterých je dobře vidět, jak se domácí umění emancipovalo a začalo se sebevědomě zapojovat do mezinárodních struktur umělecké scény. Reaguje nebo předjímá všechna důležitá témata a přístupy novou geometrii, novou figuraci, konceptuální umění a umění akce. Zastoupeni jsou nejznámější autoři tohoto období jako Václav Boštík, Stanislav Kolíbal, Jiří Kolář, Adriena Šimotová, ze slovenských autorů Josef Jankovič nebo Július Koller, stranou ovšem nezůstali ani autoři z regionů, jako Miroslav Šnajdr, Eduard Ovčáček, Stanislav Bukovský a další.

Paul Klee - Construction of Mystery
This opulent volume on Paul Klee celebrates one of the most important and productive artists of the twentieth century, whose work is as topical today as it ever was: growing out of the inner conflict of modern man, Klee's imaginative works provide a link between the world of reason and the irrational "secrets" of human existence.
The works of Paul Klee (1879-1940) charm the viewer with their inventiveness, delight in experimentation, subtle humour and brilliant colour schemes. He contrasts the technical and rational tendencies of the 1920s with the significance of playfulness, intuition and artistic genius. Subdivided according to pictorial subjects of transcendental longing like ladders, mountains and stars as well as Bauhaus aspects of architecture and construction of space, the lavishly illustrated volume covering the period from 1905 until 1940 draws an impressive picture of Klee as an original "thinking artist" who confronts the challenges facing man in the modern age and brilliantly permits rational methods of picture construction to be transformed into the open and mysteriohe biographies of Jewish collectors and artists who were the victims of art theft and the Holocaust. A further topic of investigation is how stolen works were returned to the museums and private collections after 1945. The official catalogue of the Kunstmuseum Bern and the Kunst- und Ausstellungshalle der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Bundeskunsthalle) in Bonn permits for the first time a nuanced understanding of this case which is unique in the postwar history of Germany.
A monotípia titkai - Fessünk grafikát!
A monotípia különleges technika, amely egyaránt hordozza a nyomtatott grafika, illetve a festészeti technika sajátosságait, és jól mutatja a kettő közötti szoros kapcsolatot.
A monotípia technika egy kissé mostohagyermeke a képzőművészetnek, elsősorban iskolai és játszóházi foglalkozások kedvelt technikája, hiszen egyszerű eszközökkel is kivitelezhető.
Sokan úgy vélik, készítésének egyszerűsége miatt, könnyű technika. De ha valaki egy kicsit jobban elmerül a monotípia rejtelmeiben, felismeri azt, hogy végtelen variációs lehetőség rejlik benne. Emellett az is kiderül, milyen nehéz technika, hiszen elképzeléseinket sokszor hosszas próbálgatás előzi meg, míg a kívánt hatást, felületet sikerül elérni, lenyomtatni. Maga a technika nagyon jó alapja a kísérletezésnek, a különféle felületi hatások elérésére tett kísérletek számos új anyagot és a belőlük származó lehetőségeket is felsorakoztatják.

Rousseau
Henri Rousseau (1844-1910) was a clerk in the Paris customs service who dreamed of becoming a famous artist. At the age 49, he decided to give it a try. At first, Rousseau's bright, bold paintings of jungles and exotic flora and fauna were dismissed as childish and simplistic, but his unique and tenacious style soon won acclaim. After 1886, he exhibited regularly at Paris's prestigious Salon des Independants, and in 1908 he received a legendary banquet of honor, hosted by Picasso.
Although best known for his tropical scenes, Rousseau, in fact, never left France, relying on books and magazines for inspiration, as well as trips to natural history museums and anecdotes from returning military acquaintances. Working in oil on canvas, he tended toward a vibrant palette, vivid rendering, as well as a certain lush, languid sensuality as seen in the nude in the jungle composition The Dream.
Today, "Rousseau's myth" is well established in art history, garnering comparison with such other post-Impressionist masters as Cezanne, Matisse, and Gauguin. In this dependable TASCHEN introduction, we explore the makings of this late-blooming artist and his legacy as an unlikely hero of modernism.
"Nothing makes me so happy as to observe nature and to paint what I see."
- Henri Rousseau
Bodys Isek Kingelez
Made from quotidian materials, Kingelez's sculptures evoke visionary architectures
The sculptures of Bodys Isek Kingelez (1948-2015) are imagined architectural propositions and improbable structures for a fairytale urban landscape. Comprised of paper, commercial packaging and the stuff of everyday life, his "extreme maquettes" transform these materials into fantastic visions that encompass civic buildings, public monuments and private pavilions. Born in the Belgian Congo, Kingelez gained international renown following his participation in the landmark 1989 exhibition Magiciens de la Terre at Centre Georges Pompidou and the Grande Halle of the Parc de la Villette, and since that time, his work has been included in numerous global surveys and in several solo presentations. Published to accompany the first retrospective of his work, this volume traces the span of Kingelez's three decade career, from never-before-exhibited early works to sculptures that launched his career in 1989 and the complex and multifaceted cities of later decades, bringing his rarely seen, distinctive oeuvre to international audiences. Featuring stunning new photography of his work, this serves as the most comprehensive volume on the artist to date.
The Psychology of an Art Writer
Vernon Lee--a pseudonym of Violet Paget (1856-1935)--is the most important female aesthetician to come out of 19th-century England. Though she was widely known for her supernatural fictions, Lee never gained the recognition she so clearly deserved for her contributions in the fields of aesthetics, philosophy of empathy and art criticism. An early follower of Walter Pater, she wrote with an extreme attention to her own responses to artworks, and a level of psychological sensitivity rarely seen in any aesthetic writing. Today, she is largely understudied and rarely read, her aesthetic writings long out of print.
Now, David Zwirner Books reintroduces her writing through the first-ever English publication of The Psychology of an Art Writer (1903) along with selections from her groundbreaking Gallery Diaries (1901-4), breathtaking accounts of Lee's own experiences with the great paintings and sculptures she traveled to see. Ranging from assessments of the way mood affects our ability to appreciate art to descriptions of powerful personal experiences with artworks, these writings provide profound insights into the fields of psychology and aesthetics.
We Have No Idea
In our small corner of the universe, we know how some matter behaves most of the time and what even less of it looks like, and we have some good guesses about where it all came from. But we really have no clue what's going on. In fact, we don't know what about 95% of the universe is made of.
So what happens when a cartoonist and a physicist walk into this strange, mostly unknown universe? Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson gleefully explore the biggest unknowns, why these things are still mysteries, and what a lot of smart people are doing to figure out the answers (or at least ask the right questions).
While they're at it, they helpfully demystify many complicated things we do know about, from quarks and neutrinos to gravitational waves and exploding black holes. With equal doses of humour and delight, they invite us to see the universe as a vast expanse of mostly uncharted territory that's still ours to explore.
This is a book for fans of Brian Cox and What If. This highly entertaining highly illustrated book is perfect for anyone who's curious about all the great mysteries physicists are going to solve next.
The Lives of the Surrealists
No other art movement in history has contained two artists as different as Magritte and Miro. This is because Surrealism was not in origin an art movement, but a philosophical strategy. It was a way of life - a rebellion against the establishment that had given the world the hideous slaughter of the First World War. Instead of trying to analyse the work of the Surrealists, bestselling author and Surrealist artist Desmond Morris concentrates on them as people - as remarkable individuals. What were their personalities, their predilections, their character strengths and flaws? Did they enjoy a social life or were they loners? Were they bold eccentrics or timid recluses?
Drawing on the author's personal knowledge of the Surrealists, this book captures their life histories, idiosyncrasies and often-complex love lives, vividly illustrated with images of the artists and their works. The arts of Surrealism were both spectacular and international, shaped by the darkest, most irrational workings of the unconscious. Shocking, witty and always entertaining, Morris' tales illuminate the striking variation in approaches to the Surrealist philosophy, both in the artist's work and in their lives.
Modern Art
Modern Art takes the reader through individual movements from Impressionism to Conceptual Art, situating these within five broader chronological themes. Starting with Impressionism in 1860, Dempsey proceeds through the essentials of Modernism, the post-war New Disorder and beyond. The material is arranged with great care to lead the reader through over seventy essential topics of modern art in a practical and easy-to-navigate structure. Each boldly designed feature includes a clear definition of the theme, a list of key artists, features, media and collections, and expertly curated illustrations with explanatory captions. A reference section includes a useful glossary of modern art terms, an easy-to-navigate timeline and suggestions for further reading.
50 Queer Music Icons Who Changed the World
Featuring beautifully illustrated portraits and profiles, 50 Queer Music Icons Who Changed the World is a tribute to queer ground breakers who changed the face of music and popular culture.
LGBTQ+ musicians have been pushing for change since the 1920s, with singers such as Bessie Smith crooning about same-sex liaisons almost 100 years ago - long before Frankie Goes to Hollywood were telling everyone to `Relax'. This book is a celebration of artists who became icons, and broke new ground through song. From legendary figures such as Freddie Mercury, Little Richard and George Michael, to bands like Bronski Beat, The xx and the Village People, and more contemporary figures including Frank Ocean, Beth Ditto and Rufus Wainwright, these are the people who made an unforgettable impact.
Elegantly illustrated and packaged, these stories make utterly inspirational reading.

Fiesta - The Branding and Identity for Festivals
Fiesta: Branding and Identity of Festivals is a compilation of remarkable branding designs and campaigns for a variety of renowned festivals from around the world. The festivals examined span the worlds of music, cinema, design, gastronomy, culture, and art. These topics, and the freedom of creativity that come with them, allow to explore the limits of design, without the restraints that come with commercial projects. The identity and communication campaign strategies deployed by festivals encompass an endless array of design techniques, from graphic elements such as logos, posters, web pages, advertisements, mobile apps, tickets, and wristbands to collectible items like T- shirts, bags, and cups. This volume will inspire and serve as a useful tool for graphic designers and branding agencies that seek to handle challenging and wide-ranging festival projects with the highest degree of creativity and imagination, as well as for festival organizers and anyone interested in visual culture in general and eager to learn about new trends. The events featured show that the success of a festival has a close connection to its tailor- made branding and design and that no matter what the subject of the festival is, it is essential to have a coherent identity strategy.
