Baroque
Dramatic scenes: The rich spectacle of the BaroqueFrom dramatically-lit paintings to elaborate, gilded interiors, the Baroque era introduced a new dimension to Western art. In place of the harmonious perspectives and elegant proportions of the Renaissance came a world of momentum, energy, and heightened spectacle. The style influenced many forms and disciplines between the 16th and 18th century, infusing painting, sculpture, architecture, and music with a direct, often emotive, appeal to the audience.This TASCHEN Basic Art 2.0 edition focuses on Baroque painting. Through mythological and religious scenes, still-lifes, and beyond, we explore how a vivid vocabulary of deep colors, intense shadows, dramatic gestures, and diagonal lines infiltrated both Northern and Southern schools. Along the way, we meet such leading Baroque practitioners as Nicolas Poussin, Annibale Carraci, Caravaggio, Velazquez, Rubens, and Rembrandt, and examine their particular innovations in composition, narrative, and light to achieve a Baroque sensibility."
Seeing Things - A Kid's Guide to Looking at Photographs
Aimed at children between the ages of eight and twelve, "Seeing Things" is a wonderful introduction to photography that asks how photographers transform ordinary things into meaningful moments. In this book, acclaimed and beloved photographer Joel Meyerowitz takes readers on a journey through the power and magic of photography: its abilities to freeze time, tell a story, combine several layers into one frame and record life's fleeting and beautiful moments. The book features the work of masters such as William Eggleston, Mary Ellen Mark, Helen Levitt and Walker Evans, among many others. Each picture is accompanied by a short commentary, encouraging readers to look closely and use their imagination to understand key ideas in photography such as light, gesture, composition-and, ultimately, how there is wonder all around us when viewed through the lens. Joel Meyerowitz (born 1938) is an award-winning photographer whose work has appeared in over 350 exhibitions in museums and galleries around the world. He is a two-time Guggenheim Fellow, a recipient of both National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities awards and a recipient of the Deutscher Fotobuchpreis. He has published over 15 books and divides his time between New York and Italy.
End Game - Tipping Point for Planet Earth?
overconsumption / population growth / dwindling resources / climate change / disease / contamination / storms / thirst / war ...will the struggle to simply stay alive become humanity's future rather than its past? World-renowned scientists Tony Barnosky and Liz Hadly ask: what happens when vast population growth endangers the world's food supplies? Or our water? Our oil, space or environment? What happens if these all become critical at once? End Game explores the origins of disease in densely populated areas of West Africa, witnesses raging fires in Colorado and explains how drought-induced food shortages are already causing conflicts in the Sudan, Gaza Strip and Iraq. Finally, it asks: what combination of problems will hasten the sixth mass extinction? We still have the chance to avoid this tipping point and secure our future. But this unique opportunity will be gone within ten-to-twenty years. End Game is the call to action we need.
Conversations in Jazz - The Ralph J. Gleason Interviews
An extraordinary collection of revealing, personal interviews with fourteen jazz music legends During his nearly forty years as a music journalist, Ralph J. Gleason recorded many in-depth interviews with some of the greatest jazz musicians of all time. These informal sessions, conducted mostly in Gleason's Berkeley, California, home, have never been transcribed and published in full until now. This remarkable volume, a must-read for any jazz fan, serious musician, or musicologist, reveals fascinating, little-known details about these gifted artists, their lives, their personas, and, of course, their music. Bill Evans discusses his battle with severe depression, while John Coltrane talks about McCoy Tyner's integral role in shaping the sound of the Coltrane quartet, praising the pianist enthusiastically. Included also are interviews with Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins, Quincy Jones, Jon Hendricks, and the immortal Duke Ellington, plus seven more of the most notable names in twentieth-century jazz.
Selected Writing
Available for the first time in an English translation, this selection gives non-Francophone readers the chance to encounter the many incarnations of renowned Belgian painter Rene Magritte - the artist, the man, the aspiring noirist, the fire-breathing theorist - in his own words. Through whimsical personal letters, biting apologia, appreciations of fellow artists, pugnacious interviews, farcical film scripts, prose poems, manifestos and much more, a new Magritte emerges: part Surrealist, part literalist, part celebrity, part rascal.While this book is bound to appeal to admirers of Magritte's art and those who are curious about his personal life, there is also much to delight all readers interested in the history and theory of art, philosophy and politics, as well as lovers of creativity and the inner workings of a probing, inquisitive mind unrestricted by genre, medium or fashion.
Lichtenstein
The Pop star: When art went Whaam!American painter Roy Lichtenstein (1923 1997) pioneered a new epoch in American art, bursting onto a scene dominated by Abstract Expressionism in late 1950s New York and defining a new art vocabulary for a new era.With his groundbreaking use of industrial production techniques and trivial, quotidian imagery such as cartoons, comic strips, and advertising, Lichtenstein joined contemporaries such as Andy Warhol and James Rosenquist to reflect and satirize American mass media and consumer culture. Works such as Look, Mickey! (1961), Drowning Girl (1963), and Whaam! (1963), deployed mass production techniques, particularly Ben-Day dots printing, to create a blow-up effect and pixelated dot style, with which Lichtenstein has become synonymous.This book provides an essential overview of Lichtenstein s career, tracing his earliest Pop statements through to later brushstroke retorts to Abstract Expressionism and reinterpretations of modern masterpieces. We look at his leading position in mid-century modernism, and the ways in which his works both critique and chronicle 20th-century America.About the series: Each book in TASCHEN s Basic Art series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions"

Crime and the Art Market
Interest in art crime is at an all-time high. Academia is committing greater resources to it, lawyers are increasingly specialising in the field, and the public is enthralled. Belief that the art market's opaque and unregulated practices are indirectly to blame for these crimes is also gaining ground. But what are the reasons for criminal activity in the art market? Is the art market any more welcoming to criminals than other sectors? And is law enforcement failing to keep up?
Crime and the Art Market brings together the author's direct experience from both fields to present an accessible, informative and realistic overview of these crimes in today's society. The book re-examines high-profile criminal cases, while highlighting others which failed to hit headlines but marked significant moments in the legal treatment of art crime. Through interviews, new data and exclusive insight into cases, the book demonstrates the impact of criminal activity on the market and broader society, while exploring claims that changes in the market's behaviour are needed.

Punk. London.1977. Most people blinked and missed it. Many spent a decade trying to catch up. Derek Ridgers stumbled across it by accident, where it was, in the beating filthy heart of the Roxy in middle of a derelict slum called Covent Garden. Stumbling through the moshpits trying to keep hold of a borrowed camera. 1977. Punk London brings you 152 pages of photography featuring the birth of the the most exciting cultural phenomenon in UK history. Currents and vibes, flows and backwash, trends and anti-trends splashing around in the cauldron of youth culture in the city of London, and the lost rebels haunting their suburban bedrooms - jumping the train uptown to get into the legendary Roxy. All converged, for one priceless moment, an outpouring of a truly original, DIY, anarchic, underground scene. Ridgers captured the first wave. Kids in the crowd, never before seen. The punks who made their own clothes because you couldn t buy punk clothes. The punks who got beaten up time and again for making themselves into targets. Rebellion before it got easy. You won t see these kids anywhere in the magazines. They weren t trying to get famous. 1977 will happen again.1 977 is happening somewhere, for someone, right now."
Bernardinské slunce nad českými zeměmi
Svatý Bernardin Sienský (1380–1444), původem z Toskány, patří k nejvýznamnějším kazatelům 15. století. Tento reformátor a zakladatel řádu františkánů-observantů ovlivnil svým dílem nejen náboženský, politický a kulturní život na Apeninském poloostrově, ale jeho myšlenky našly širokou odezvu i v záalpské Evropě. Práce je vymezena dobou působení Bernardina Sienského a zhruba rokem 1526, kdy v jagellonských Čechách působnost řádu františkánů-observantů upa- dá vlivem sílícího luteranismu. Téma mapuje jednu odnož italské středověké estetiky a její absorpci v českém prostředí 15. až počátku 16. století. Jeho zpracování tak zaplní mezeru v soudobém mezinárodním výzkumu historie řádu františkánů-observantů a jeho kulturního vlivu.

The Circus
At its heyday, the American circus was the largest show-biz industry the world had ever seen. From the mid-1800s to mid-1900s, traveling circuses performed for audiences of up to 14,000 per show, employed as many as 1,600 men and women, and crisscrossed the country on 20,000 miles of railroad in one season alone. The spectacle of death-defying daredevils, strapping super-heroes and scantily-clad starlets, fearless animal trainers, and startling "freaks" gripped the American imagination, outshining theater, vaudeville, comedy, and minstrel shows. This book sheds fresh light on the circus phenomenon. With photographic gems of early circus performers, as well as original posters, lightographs, sideshow banners and engravings from the 16th-19th centuries illustrating the worldwide roots of the circus, readers are transported to a world of thrill and skill, grit and glamor. Highlights include iconic circus photographs by Mathew Brady, Cornell Capa, Walker Evans, Weegee, and Lisette Model, and little-known circus images by Stanley Kubrick and Charles and Ray Eames.
Impressionist Art
Brushwork revolution: The neglected champions of ImpressionismIt was a dappled and daubed harbor scene that gave Impressionism its name. When Impression, Sunrise by Claude Monet was exhibited in April 1874, critics seized upon the work s title and its loose stylistic rendering of light and motion upon water to deride this new, impressionistic, tendency in art.As with many seminal art movements, the critics got their comeuppance. Today, Impressionism is close contender for the world s favorite period of painting. With blockbuster exhibitions, record-breaking auction prices, and packed museums, the works once dismissed as unfinished or imprecise are now beloved for their atmospheric evocation of time and place, as well as the stylistic flair of rapid brushstrokes upon canvas.Despite its popularity and a whole host of publications, many areas and artists of Impressionism remain inadequately researched. This TASCHEN book fills the gap, raising the profile of unjustly neglected pioneers such as Berthe Morisot, Lucien Pissarro, and Gustave Caillebotte, while exploring the characteristics of Impressionism, from painting en plein air to vivid color contrasts, not only in the movement s native France but also across the rest of Europe and North America.About the series: Bibliotheca Universalis Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe at an unbeatable, democratic price!Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, the name TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible, open-minded publishing.

Popismus
Šedesátá léta znamenala zemětřesení, které navždy proměnilo tvář moderní kultury. Jedním z jeho epicenter byl New York – a jednou z jeho vůdčích osobností byl Andy Warhol. V jeho studiu, legendární Factory, se pravidelně scházela společenská a kulturní smetánka té doby, od Lou Reeda a jeho Velvet Underground po Eddie Sedgwickovou či Boba Dylana. Kniha Popismus, již s Andym Warholem napsala jeho dlouholetá spolupracovnice a přítelkyně Pat Hackettová, je věrným a upřímným záznamem oné vzrušené doby a zároveň kaleidoskopem drbů, anekdotických historek i niterných zamyšlení, které ocení každý, koho zajímá pop-art, popkultura i šedesátá léta jako taková.
Andy Warhol (1928–1987) byl americký umělec, fi lmař, herec a jedna z vůdčích postav pop-artu. Jeho rodiče se do Spojených států přistěhovali z oblasti dnešního severovýchodního Slovenska a v Pittsburghu, kde se narodil, strávil malý Andrej Varhola několik let v české komunitě. Od mládí se u něj projevovalo umělecké nadání a po absolutoriu komerční designové tvorby se koncem čtyřicátých let přestěhoval do New Yorku. Živil se zprvu jako ilustrátor a designér, ale postupně se stále intenzivněji věnoval volné tvorbě a v šedesátých letech už byl jedním z nejvýraznějších umělců své doby. V duchu rozvíjejícího se pop-artového hnutí se ve výtvarném umění nechával inspirovat předměty denní potřeby, kamerou se zase snažil zachytit syrovou, nehranou realitu – do svých fi lmů často obsazoval neherce a mnoho záběrů je dílem náhody a okamžiku. Andy Warhol si za svůj život stihl nadělat mnoho přátel i nepřátel, přežít atentát a ovlivnit celé generace umělců, ale především povýšit populární kulturu na umění.
Maqámy
Na konci 10. století vznikl zcela nový žánr klasické arabské prózy – maqáma. Vytvořil jej Abú ’l-Fadl Ahmad ibn al-Husajn ibn Jahjá, jemuž se v dějinách arabské literatury dostalo příhodného označení Badí‘ az-Zamán (Div své doby). Zasloužil si ho díky svým vynikajícím schopnostem a nevšednímu talentu, jimiž převyšoval své současníky a vrstevníky. Nesmírnou proslulost přinesl maqámám dokonale zvládnutý vytříbený literární styl a výjimečný jazykový talent al-Hamadháního, který se stal vzorem pro generace autorů rozvíjejících umění tohoto epického žánru. Maqámy vyprávějí o zvyklostech každodenního života obyvatel Abbásovského chalífátu, o šibalských kouscích podvodníků i potulných literátů. Umělecká hodnota al-Hamadháního díla je dodnes předmětem velikého zájmu spisovatelů a literárních kritiků v arabském světě i za jeho hranicemi.
