Zvyky, obřady a slavnosti u různých národů světa
Monumentální i bizarní, obrazová i naučná kniha nevšedního výtvarníka Miroslava Huptycha.
Stovky dobových ilustrací, více než tisíc normostran záznamů, popisů a svědectví, ale hlavně více než padesát dvoustranných autorských koláží.
Po projektu Labyrint světa a ráj srdce (oceněno Magnesií Literou za nakladatelský počin roku), je tady další ambiciózní projekt s nemenší výtvarnou, a ještě větší obsahovou hodnotou.
Po ilustrování knihy J. A. Komenského Labyrint světa a ráj srdce oceněné Magnesií Literou za nakladatelský počin roku (vydal Práh, 2019) přichází Miroslav Huptych s dalším pozoruhodným dílem. Díky své celoživotní zálibě v archivaci dobových rytin, ale také zápisků a zajímavostí z četby dal dohromady téměř tisíc normostran svědectví, více či méně věrohodných, o zvycích různých národů světa. Nejedná se o etnografický výběr, spíše o neuvěřitelně pestrou mozaiku citací, která vypovídá mimo jiné také o samotných pozorovatelích. Svědčí nejen o dávných zvyklostech, magii a archetypální moudrosti, ale často také o nebývalé krutosti a útlaku mocných. S ohledem na současný stav světa se pak dá říct, že výběr citací obnažuje temné stránky lidského chování a ukazuje, na jakých základech stojí současná civilizace.
Nechte se touto knihou inspirovat, hledejte v ní poučení a těšte se z bohatého ilustračního doprovodu, jímž autor vybraná svědectví obohatil a posunul do roviny psychologicko-magicko-umělecké.
Hokusai: A Life in Drawing (Deluxe Edition)
A deluxe large-format edition of this beautifully illustrated introduction to Katsushika Hokusai, the most prolific artist of Japan's Edo period, and master of ukiyo-e - 'images of the floating world'.
Hokusai: the blue, foam-crested wave rearing above Mount Fuji; the celebrated volcano idealized and reinvented by the artist in every nuance of view, season and painting; extraordinary bridges, the waterfalls of Japan, the contortions, costumes, gestures - the very breath of men, women, peasants, townsmen, warriors, artisans, leaping horses, birds, insects, fish, almost live on the ground on which they are painted - the countless imaginative drawings or the lively sketches done on the spot for the Manga, Hokusai's record of shapes and forms drawn from life or imagined over time. With a body of work comprising more than 30,000 drawings and paintings, Hokusai (1760-1849) was the most prolific, varied and indisputably the most creative artist of old Japan. A universal genius in everything that constituted drawing and painting in his time, he practised all genres of ukiyo-e, those 'images of the floating world', as his contemporaries liked to describe their pleasures and their daily life.
This book traces the career of this child from a working-class district of old Tokyo, then known as Edo, evoking the special atmosphere of this great city and of Japanese life, when Japan - closed to foreigners - developed in a vacuum a powerfully original culture. Hokusai became one of the great masters of the woodcut, this 'brush gone wild', as he called himself, being rediscovered by the Impressionists and aesthetes at the end of the 19th century. He remains one of the greatest and - thanks to his personality - one of the most attractive figures of world art.
Picasso - printmaker
Picasso was one of the most creative and experimental talents ever to explore the medium of print. This book charts his career as a printmaker, which was characterised by close collaboration with skilled printers, through which extraordinary artworks were produced.
Picasso was one of the most creative and experimental talents ever to explore the medium of print. This book charts his career as a printmaker, which was characterised by close collaboration with skilled printers, through which extraordinary artworks were produced.
Together with a stunning selection of works on paper by Picasso, it also includes sculptures, drawings and prints by other artists and cultures of the kind that inspired Picasso. His prints often demonstrate his keen sense of belonging to an artistic lineage stretching back to antiquity (stemming from his kinship with the Mediterranean world of his birthplace, Málaga), as well as great artists of the past such as Raphael, Rembrandt and Ingres. One section explores the contradictions and controversies relating to Picasso's relationships with his wives and lovers. The focus on Picasso as a printmaker will argue for the importance of this activity in his long artistic career, and his continued relevance as one of the most creative and experimental talents ever to explore the medium of print.
Forbidden Territories
Published to mark the centenary of Surrealism, this publication offers a new perspective on one of the most famous art movements with pioneering new research on its links with ecology and with politics.
The development of Surrealism in the 1920s and 30s coincided with that of important new research and knowledge in the sciences, notably in biology. Forbidden Territories explores the unexamined interplay between Surrealism and life science, including the mutual influence of Sigmund Freud, illuminating how Surrealist strategies draw the eye to the astonishing aspects of scientific data and knowledge of the landscape, in ways that are prescient, even revelatory, in the present.
The book further looks at the role of international conflict within Surreal landscapes and how these terrains became a vehicle for political statements and dissent. Finally, it expands on the Surrealist mythologization of the unconscious as a great ocean 'where the sharks of madness cruise', analysing the 'ecology of the mind', examining links between bodies of water and psycho-surreal worlds in poetry, paintings and photographs from the unique perspective of female Surrealist artists.
Spanning the movement, this survey includes works by Eileen Agar, Leonora Carrington, Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst, Man Ray, Lee Miller and Yves Tanguy as well as interventions by contemporary artists working within the lasting legacy of Surrealism, such as Maria Berrio and Michael Dean.
Jana Farmanová - Čas na ženský svet / Time for Woman’s World
Jana Farmanová patrí k výrazným osobnostiam slovenskej maľby. Študovala na Vysokej škole výtvarných umení v Bratislave v Ateliéri maľby u prof. Jána Bergera. Štúdium ukončila v roku 1996, v čase, keď maľba prechádzala zložitým obdobím. Bola vytlačená na okraj výtvarného diania a uprednostňované boli iné formy výtvarného vyjadrenia. Príčinou tejto situácie boli viaceré udalosti z druhej polovice 20. storočia, ako napríklad príchod konceptuálneho či akčného umenia, vstup nových, najmä digitálnych médií do umenia a v neposlednom rade aj doktrína socialistického realizmu. Publikácia slúži ako katalóg k výstave v Galérii Nedbalka.
KAWS x Warhol
A never-before-seen look at the striking thematic parallels between KAWS and Andy Warhol, two of the most iconic artists of our time
As celebrated artists that draw from popular culture, KAWS and Andy Warhol are known for creating art that is approachable beyond the confines of the traditional art world.
While at first glance, both artists’ works often appear celebratory and joyful, they share a number of dark common threads beneath the surface: tragedy as spectacle and meditations on death and dying. When these two bold bodies of work are juxtaposed, that connection is made explicit and powerful.
This book highlights the artistic intersection of KAWS and Warhol, featuring their takes on death and disaster, advertising, nostalgia, abstraction, skulls, and self-portraiture. Accompanying a major exhibition at The Andy Warhol Museum that will travel internationally, it presents some of the most standout and analogous works from two of the most popular artists of all time.
Women Pioneers of the Arts and Crafts Movement (Victoria and Albert Museum)
A celebration of the work and ambition of the women who were at the heart of the Arts and Crafts Movement.
Women Pioneers of the Arts & Crafts Movement is a celebration of the work and ambition of the women who were at the heart of the most influential art and design movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It shines a light on the vital contribution of figures such as May Morris, Gertrude Jekyll, Annie Garnett, and many others, and describes the Arts and Crafts Movement from the perspective of these women who worked against the odds as artists, makers, teachers, authors, and entrepreneurs.
Women of the era took part in, and often led, the founding of exhibitions, societies, art schools, and small craft industries. Some were activists and social disruptors while using their skills and talents to make a living. This book highlights the versatility and range of these talented women, who worked across a host of disciplines, including textile design, embroidery, bookbinding, illustration, painting, enameling, stained glass, metalwork, furniture design, and architecture. It is richly illustrated with a wide array of their work, much of it previously unpublished. Featuring objects from the V&A's renowned Arts and Crafts collection, the book also includes key pieces from other museums and private collections across the UK.

Keiichi Tanaami
The first comprehensive English-language monograph on Keiichi Tanaami’s kaleidoscopic oeuvre, which merges Japanese postwar culture and American-style comics with a genre-defining artistic output.
Artist, illustrator, graphic designer, filmmaker, and art director, Keiichi Tanaami is best known for his psychedelic creations that reach to the farthest corners of the mind. Since the 1960s, he has been composing works on paper, magazine covers, and phantasmagoric large-scale paintings as a response to his traumatic experience of living through the United States’ atomic attack on Japan during World War II. He’s since made a mark on the world, exhibiting across the globe. His work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, Yokohama Museum of Art, M+, and the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC, among others.
Tanaami’s work is marked by an unexpectedly harmonic blend of eroticism, surrealism, psychedelia, and American comic art, combined with pointed discourse on politics, consumerism, and pop culture. Although he has been memorialized in print form within a number of smaller, themed publications, this book is the first English-language artist retrospective, a long-awaited and highly anticipated volume.
This exceptional publication, printed on multiple papers, is divided into five modules, each opened by a background introduction to the artist's key themes—Eros, Underground, Pop, Tradition, and Landscape—offering a new, exhilarating lens through which to see the legendary artist’s oeuvre.

Waneella - Pixelscapes
The debut book from renowned pixel artist Waneella, showcasing a decade of her distinctive pixelated landscape compositions.
This stunning volume documents Waneella's unique journey from novice pixel pusher to world-renowned artist, indisputably the leading name in this reinvention of the once retro pixel-art aesthetic. The book will take us from her early experiments with the pixel-art form creating pseudovideogame visuals, through to the years where her unique style crystallized, fusing sci-fi–tinged architecture, cinematic hints of narrative, and masterful deployment of light sources and shadow.
Alongside this complete catalog of her works are several process sections, walking the reader through Waneella's working style, which often initially draws influence from Japanese streets found via Google Street View. Her creative process is explored step by step, detailing the underlying structure, rigorous perspective work, and experimentation that goes into every piece. Each step is accompanied by open and humorous commentary from the artist herself?some of these how-tos will span over twenty steps?making Waneella: Pixelscapes a must-have for her legions of budding pixel-artist followers.
Opening with a foreword by Japanese videogame designer Ikumi Nakamura, the book features an in-depth profile, charting Waneella's creative journey in her own words, and artworks often with detailed discursive captions, imparting anecdotal?and invariably funny?information on how each piece came together.

Génius Gustave Doré
Veľkolepá zbierka najkrajších a najväčších umeleckých prác Gustava Dorého v exkluzívnom vydaní
Od Biblie po Shakespeara, od Balzaca po Miltona, od Cervantesa po Poea – Dorého prepracované, romantické a expresívne kresby a rytiny oživovali veľké diela a boli rovnako cenné ako príbehy a poézia, ktoré sprevádzali. Okrem toho bol aj zručným sochárom, maliarom a karikaturistom. Táto zbierka zahŕňa celú Dorého kariéru, pričom kapitoly sú venované konkrétnym dielam, medzi inými Božskej komédii, Donovi Quijoteovi či Goetheho Faustovi – každá kapitola obsahuje nádherné celostránkové reprodukcie, ktoré umožňujú vyniknúť umelcovej genialite a vnímaniu línie, tieňovania a textúry. Autori tejto monografie tiež predstavujú techniky, ktoré Doré používal na dosiahnutie tých najmenších detailov na svojich dielach.
Nadšenci Dorého tvorby, ale aj umenia samotného, ocenia veľkolepé spracovanie tejto publikácie, ktorá sa vyznačuje zlatou fóliovou razbou, reliéfom na obálke a chrbte, páskou a neprehliadnuteľnou oriezkou. Táto kniha plná prenikavých analýz a odborných historických pohľadov je dokonalým zberateľským predmetom či darčekom – zväzkom takým rozsiahlym a originálnym, ako sám umelec.

Martin Gerboc - Monografia (vydanie 2024)
Martin Gerboc (maliar, spisovateľ, filmár, kurátor, filozof, niekoľkoročný pedagóg na pražskej Akadémii výtvarných umení) je jednou z najvýraznejších osobností súčasnej maľby v širšom stredoeurópskom kontexte. Jeho meno sa v tejto súvislosti na výstavách objavuje s najdôležitejšími menami nielen európskeho, ale aj svetového umenia.
Práce Martina Gerboca demonštrujú jeho anti-estetické presvedčenie. Sú akousi extatickou cestou rozkošami a tortúrami tela i ducha, cestou svetom, ktorý môžu preskúmať len tí, ktorí sú ochotní riskovať. Úlohou Martina Gerboca je donútiť diváka, aby videl svet úplne jeho spôsobom. Preto k svojej tvorbe pristupuje z pozície „režiséra“, ktorý vyznáva spriaznenosť s interdisciplinárnym presahom z hudby, filmu, divadla, filozofie atď., a využíva vo svoj prospech ich vplyv a možné účinky ich manipulatívnosti. Uprednostňuje priame vyjadrenie zložitých myšlienok s často tragickou a nadčasovou témou. Autor vyhľadáva vyhrotené emocionálne stavy, ktoré zobrazuje až kabaretným spôsobom. Celostné vnímanie ho vedie k presvedčeniu, že umelec by mal byť režisérom emočne silného zážitku a obraz je len jedným z prostriedkov vyjadrenia osobnej angažovanosti.
Okrem textov kurátoriek a teoretičiek umenia Jane Neal, Zory Rusinovej a filozofa Miroslava Marcelliho prináša publikácia aj rozsiahly rozhovor s českým kurátorom a teoretikom umenia Ottom M. Urbanom. Táto vizuálne výnimočne spracovaná a reprezentatívna monografia na 312 stranách a viac než 300 reprodukciách a fotografiách prináša okrem pohľadu na jeho výtvarnú prácu aj ukážky z jeho filmových prác a pod. Kniha je v tvrdej väzbe s prebalom. (A.H.)
A World of Our Own
A new edition of one of the first books to focus on the world of women artists and their practice.
Women have always practiced as artists, but for centuries the art world considered them mere dilettantes. Their work was derided as second-rate, and they were considered intruders in a male profession. This study examines how, against the odds, they overcame these difficulties and shifts the focus away from women artists as "victims" to give an account of how they actually practiced their art. This stirring account documents the centuries- long struggle of gifted women who confronted the exclusionary tactics of a male-dominated art establishment but pressed ahead undaunted to gain acceptance as sought-after professionals.
Art historian Frances Borzello takes readers deep into the restricted world of women artists of the past, showing how diligently they trained themselves, set up studios, and pursued sympathetic patrons. Starting with Renaissance painters Sofonisba Anguissola and Lavinia Fontana, the book reconstructs the changing world of women artists as social attitudes evolved. Seventeenth-century painters Artemisia Gentileschi and Judith Leyster enjoyed success by depicting subjects relevant to women, as did eighteenth- century greats Angelica Kauffman and Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun with lucrative commissions. Further breakthroughs came in the nineteenth century as young hopefuls Mary Cassatt and Marie Bashkirtseff strove to be admitted to exhibiting societies and opened art schools. Finally, as equality for women advanced through the twentieth century, Augusta Savage, Georgia O'Keeffe, Frida Kahlo, Cindy Sherman, Mona Hatoum, and others led the way for today's talented women to secure their rightful place in the annals of art. Now fully revised and updated, Frances Borzello's engaging narrative continues to inspire.

Matisse - Invitation to the Voyage
A journey through Matisse’s epoch-making practice, from his early Fauvist works to his brilliant cutouts
The volume is anchored by and named after Charles Baudelaire’s 1857 poem “Invitation to the Voyage,” to which Matisse repeatedly referred in his lifetime. Following Baudelaire’s poem, the book is thus conceived as a journey through the work and life of Matisse, in which travel played an important role.
Published alongside the Matisse retrospective at the Fondation Beyeler, this monograph sails across the many waves of the artist’s practice. Beginning with his early paintings from around 1900, Invitation to the Voyage then carries the reader from his revolutionary Fauvist works of the 1910s to the sensual paintings of his Nice period in the 1930s and his legendary silhouettes of the late 1940s and 1950s. The wealth of important paintings, sculptures and silhouettes gathered here reveals the development and richness of Matisse’s masterful oeuvre.
Henri Matisse (1869–1954) is one of Modernism’s leading exponents. By liberating color from its conventional associations and simplifying forms, he redefined painting and brought a hitherto unknown lightness to art. Matisse was also an innovator in sculpture, and in his late silhouettes he developed an unmistakable interplay between painting, drawing and sculpture.
Miloslav Havlíček - Realita a fantazie
Malíř, grafik a ilustrátor Miloslav Havlíček možná není čtenářské příliš známý, přesto jeho práce znají celé generace čtenářů mnoha časopisů i dalších tiskovin. Po celou dobu jeho existence ilustroval časopis Zápisník (1957-93), kde zároveň výrazně formoval jeho podobu. Dále to byly například AZ magazín, Ohníček, Pionýr, Pionýrské stezka, Letectví + kosmonautika a mnoho dalších. Jeho ilustrace doprovází desítky, možná stovky knižních titulů, je autorem několika kreslených seriálů, rád vytvářel koláže, zajímavá je jeho volná tvorba…
Připomeňme si jeho skutečně pestrou tvorbu.
The Artist's Palette
The paint-loaded palettes of fifty world-renowned artists are displayed alongside the paintings the artists created using those hues, and the colours and brushstrokes employed are analysed to uncover surprising new stories about each artist and their work.
Presented broadly chronologically, the artists featured in this revelatory book range from those working in the 17th century to the present day, including Artemisia Gentileschi, Paul Cézanne, Berthe Morisot, Vincent Van Gogh, Wassily Kandinsky, Georgia O’Keeffe and Bridget Riley. Each artist’s palette – whether photographed or visible in self-portraits – is paired with one or more works by the artist that reflect the colours of the paint remaining on the palette. Colour expert and art historian Alexandra Loske skilfully analyses each artist’s colour palette and brushstrokes to reveal not only exactly how they used colour in their work but also to tell the story of their journey with colour and the influence of their approach on the wider culture to which they belonged. For example, Georges Seurat meticulously arranged the paints on his palette in prismatic order, isolating the colours and pairing each with a blot of white paint. His pointillist technique was equally apparent on his palette and his canvas. Kerry James Marshall uses blots of zinc white and smears of pale pink on the surfaces of symbolically oversized white palettes held by black artists in his portraits, raising provocative questions about the role of colour in the story of black history and white western art.
The Artist’s Palette will appeal to an art history audience, a wider audience eager to learn more about the use of colour by the great artists and amateur painters looking for inspiration in the creation of their own work.

Emil Filla, čínské umění a totalitní přízraky/Emil Filla, Chinese Art and Totalitarian Phantoms
Kniha se věnuje poválečné tvorbě českého malíře, sochaře a teoretika Emila Filly (1882–1953) a jeho vztahu k čínskému umění a komunistické ideologii. Popisuje Fillovu jedinečnou sbírku čínského umění a přibližuje její vznik. Přináší také zamyšlení nad Fillovým chápáním dálněvýchodní malby, které se odrazilo v jeho textech o čínské krajinomalbě i jeho pozdních obrazech. Právě jim je věnována zvýšená pozornost, a to zejména z hlediska postoje, který k nim zaujímali představitelé komunistického režimu, jejichž často vulgarizující názory hluboce a neblaze zasahovaly do umělcova života i díla. Filla čelil různým formám perzekucí, přesto se mu podařilo zůstat až do konce života ve funkci profesora Vysoké školy uměleckoprůmyslové v Praze. Kniha vychází při příležitosti otevření nové expozice v Pamětní síni Emila Filly na zámku Peruc, který umělci poskytl letní útočiště a sehrál v jeho pozdních aktivitách podstatnou roli.
The Fantastic Worlds of Frank Frazetta. 40th Ed.
Frank Frazetta finally gets the beautiful book he deserves
Frank Frazetta has reigned as the undisputed king of fantasy art for 50 years, his fame only growing in the years since his death. With his paintings now breaking auction records (Egyptian Queen sold for $ 5.4 million in 2019) he’s long overdue for this ultimate monograph.
Born to a Sicilian immigrant family in Brooklyn, 1928, Frazetta was a minor league athlete, petty criminal and serial seducer with movie star looks and phenomenal talent. He claimed to only make art when there was nothing better to do – he preferred playing baseball - yet began his professional career in comics at age 16. Strip work led him to the infamous EC Comics, then to oils for Tarzan and Conan pulp covers. Both characters were interpreted by many before him, but as he explained in the 1970s, “I’m very physical minded. In Brooklyn, I knew Conan, I knew guys just like him,” and he used this first-hand knowledge of muscle and macho to redefine fantasy heroes as more massive, more menacing, more testosterone-fueled than anything seen before. As counterbalance he created a new breed of women, nude as censorship allowed, with pixie faces and multiparous bodies: thick thighed, heavy buttocked, breasts cantilevered out to there, yet still, with their soft bellies and hints of cellulite, believably real. Add in the action, the creatures, the twilit worlds of haunting shadow and Frazetta’s art is addictive as potato chips.
