Řezbářský Eroticon
Andělé i démoni, světice i prostitutky, osamělí autoerotici i davy přicházejí z bohatého a složitého světa, ve kterém existuje láska, něha a laskavost, pronásledované násilím a smrtí.
Erotiku viděnou tvůrci ze všech kontinentů, od Adama až po dnešní časy, představují téměř tři stovky barevných akvarelů, kvašů a perokreseb. Materiálem řezeb je kromě obvykle používaného dřeva také slonovina, kost, rohovina, mořská pěna a jantar.
Řemeslo a umění inspirované erotikou zahrnuje díla řezbářů neobratných i mimořádně schopných, od primitivních dřevěných penisů až po komplikované, pohyblivé, až živoucí hudebnice, milované svým autorem.
Vyobrazené předměty, spolu s postřehy řezbáře, doprovází popis jejich vzniku a erotických souvislostí. Kniha tak může posloužit jako zdroj inspirace každému, kdo touží vytvořit zajímavý, i když poněkud nezvyklý objekt.

Všechno nejlepší, Karle!
V roce 2016 Univerzita Karlova oslavila sedm set let od narození svého zakladatele, římského císaře a českého krále Karla IV. Při této příležitosti proběhla na univerzitní půdě i jinde řada akcí a slavnostních událostí, které chce tato publikace připomenout a zachovat – slovem i obrazem – pro další generace studentů a učitelů naší alma mater.
Oslavy zahájilo tradiční setkání členů akademické obce UK u příležitosti výročí založení univerzity v dubnu 2016. Mezi nejvýznamnější akce samotného „karlovského týdne“ v květnu pak náleželo slavnostní shromáždění akademické obce a představitelů veřejného života ve Velké aule Karolina, setkání rektorů evropských i světových univerzit a podpis tzv. Pražské deklarace, udělení Mezinárodní ceny Karla IV., mezinárodní odborná konference Karel IV., země Koruny české a Evropa, výstava Druhý život Karla IV., slavnostní bohoslužba v Chrámu svatého Víta na Pražském hradě, rekonstrukce Karlovy korunovace, vydání reprezentativních publikací, cykly přednášek pro veřejnost a další.
Některé projekty byly organizovány ve spolupráci s dalšími významnými institucemi — Arcibiskupstvím pražským, Akademií věd České republiky, Českou televizí, Českým rozhlasem, Národní galerií v Praze a hudebním festivalem Pražské jaro. V rámci mediálního partnerství s Českou televizí byl natočen dokumentární cyklus o osobnosti Karla IV. Ve spolupráci s Arcibiskupstvím pražským proběhly tematické prohlídky klášterů a kostelů založených Karlem IV. na Novém Městě pražském, kde v roli průvodců vystoupili studenti kunsthistorických oborů Katolické teologické fakulty a Filozofické fakulty UK. Univerzita Karlova se tak v roce 2016 hrdě přihlásila k odkazu svého zakladatele, neboť je přesvědčena o stále větší aktuálnosti jeho panovnických vizí pro dnešní dobu.
Čtenáři mají možnost seznámit se s nejvýznamnějšími projekty a díky velkému množství fotografií zažít jedinečnou atmosféru karlovských oslav. Kniha obsahuje též slavnostní projevy, které v rámci karlovského výročí zazněly, stejně jako důležité dokumenty, jimiž se akademické prostředí přihlásilo k odkazu svého zakladatele.

Scratch - Writers, Money, and the Art of Making a Living
A collection of essays from today's most acclaimed authors-from Cheryl Strayed to Roxane Gay to Jennifer Weiner, Alexander Chee, Nick Hornby, and Jonathan Franzen-on the realities of making a living in the writing world. In the literary world, the debate around writing and commerce often begs us to take sides: either writers should be paid for everything they do or writers should just pay their dues and count themselves lucky to be published. You should never quit your day job, but your ultimate goal should be to quit your day job. It's an endless, confusing, and often controversial conversation that, despite our bare-it-all culture, still remains taboo. In Scratch, Manjula Martin has gathered interviews and essays from established and rising authors to confront the age-old question: how do creative people make money? As contributors including Jonathan Franzen, Cheryl Strayed, Roxane Gay, Nick Hornby, Susan Orlean, Alexander Chee, Daniel Jose Older, Jennifer Weiner, and Yiyun Li candidly and emotionally discuss money, MFA programs, teaching fellowships, finally getting published, and what success really means to them, Scratch honestly addresses the tensions between writing and money, work and life, literature and commerce. The result is an entertaining and inspiring book that helps readers and writers understand what it's really like to make art in a world that runs on money-and why it matters. Essential reading for aspiring and experienced writers, and for anyone interested in the future of literature, Scratch is the perfect bookshelf companion to On Writing, Never Can Say Goodbye, and MFA vs. NYC.

Revival Type
Revival Type is a collection of contemporary digital fonts with origins in the past. Examples include direct revivals of metal and wood typefaces, while others are looser interpretations of older typefaces. Among the fonts are interpretations of classic designs by Nicolas Jenson, Claude Garamont, Robert Granjon, William Caslon, John Baskerville, Giambattista Bodoni, Firmin Didot and other iconic names. Alongside them are typefaces rooted in the work of important, though lesser known, names such as Eudald Pradell, Philippe Grandjean and Richard Austin. Finally, there are updates and revisions of 20th-century classics like Palatino, Meridien, DIN, Metro and Neue Haas Grotesk (the original name of Helvetica). Some designs are not revivals of typefaces but of letterforms, from inscriptions to calligraphic manuals to letters in posters and bookjackets. Some revivals are aesthetic extensions of 20th-century typefaces that have been updated technologically. Others are actually reinterpretations or variations on typefaces from the past necessitated by having to make types that function in the 21st century and not in the distant past. Re:Type looks at type 'revivals' in this broad manner.
Abstract Art
Let's get abstract Making sense of revolutionary new forms Abstraction shook Western art to its core. In the early part of the 20th century, it refuted the reign of clear, indisputable forms and confronted audiences instead with vivid visual poems devoid of conventional, representational imagery and characterized instead by allegories of emotion and sensation. This radical artistic adventure established new artistic means, as much as narratives. Expression became characterized by shocking juxtapositions of color, light, and line. Artist abandoned the conventions of brush and easel and played with new materials and methods of artistic gesture commercial paints and housepainter's brushes, working on unstretched and unprimed canvases, moving the canvas to the floor, and applying paint with hands. This essential introduction spans the international breadth, conceptual depth, and seismic impact of Abstract art with a thorough survey not only of the big names such as Picasso, Klee, Kline, Rothko, and Pollock, but also lesser-known figures who made equally significant abstract contributions, including Antoni T pies, K.O. Gotz, Ad Reinhardt, and Sophie Taeuber-Arp.
Impressionism
The Impressionism revolution
Discover how scenes of daily life and delicate dabs of color shocked the art world establishment. In this TASCHEN Basic Art introduction to Impressionism, we explore the artists, subjects, and techniques that first brought the easel out of the studio and shifted artistic attention from history, religion, or portraiture to the evanescent ebb and flow of modern life.
As we tour the theaters, bars, and parks of Paris and beyond, we take in the movement’s radical innovations in style and subject, from the principle of plein air painting to the rapid, broken brushwork that allowed the Impressionists to emphasize spontaneity, movement, and the changing qualities of light. We take a close look at their unusual new perspectives and their fresh palette of pure, unblended colors, including many vividly bright shades that brought a whole new level of chromatic intensity to the canvas.
Along the way, we recognize Impressionism’s established greats, such as Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, and Camille Pissarro, as well as many associated artists worthy of closer attention, including Marie Bracquemond, Medardo Rosso, and Fritz von Uhde.
Přímluva za současnost
Kniha dokumentuje umělecké a prostorové intervence v kostele Nejsvětějšího Salvátora v Praze u Karlova mostu v letech 2009–2016 a v několika případech i umělecké a architektonické počiny v jiných církevních i necírkevních prostorech, které však se zkušenostmi z akademického kostela souvisejí a z nich také vyrůstají.
Svazek uvozují dvě rozsáhlejší a teoretičtější kapitoly: První nastiňuje dějiny klementinského kostela a dává nahlédnout do jeho vrstevnatého genia loci. Druhá tento pohled rozšířuje o několik příkladů ze zahraničí, které se staly pro autora kniha jako organizátora salvátorských uměleckých událostí důležitou inspirací, teoretickým zázemím a také zdrojem potřebné zpětné vazby.
Knihu doprovází cyklus fotografií Petra Neuberta, který svým objektivem soustavně zaznamenával salvátorské umělecké dění.
