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.
T.J. Clark on Bruegel
T.J. Clark offers profound insights on Bruegel’s art, where we encounter a reality formed from wholly worldly materials, yet suspended between belief and disbelief.
Francis Bacon: Human Presence
Featuring works from the 1950s onwards, this book explores Francis Bacon’s deep connection to portraiture and how he challenged traditional definitions of the genre.
From his responses to portraiture by earlier artists, to large-scale paintings memorialising lost lovers, works from private and public collections will showcase Bacon’s life story. As well as the artist’s self-portraits, sitters include Lucian Freud, Isabel Rawsthorne and lovers Peter Lacy and George Dyer.
The first publication in over 20 years dedicated to the portraits of Francis Bacon, this book accompanies the exhibition of the same name opening at the National Portrait Gallery, London, in October 2024. From his renowned triptychs and paintings of ghostly figures, to tender and psychologically revealing individual portraits, the figurative works displayed in this publication chart the development of a groundbreaking artist, highlighting the influence of his peers and other artists.
Edited and with introductory texts by National Portrait Gallery curator, Rosie Broadley, Francis Bacon: Portraits also features biographies and photographs of Bacon and his circle, bringing lesser-told stories to the fore. A series of short essays from a range of contemporary thinkers and experts on Bacon explore the individuality of the artist through different lenses, providing fresh perspectives on the artist, his portraits and his world.

Lucy Lippard on Pop Art
Explore the dynamic world of 1960s Pop Art through Lucy Lippard's insightful analysis in this new addition to the Pocket Perspectives series. Pop Art epitomized the free spirit of the 1960s, blending carnival-like qualities with bold colours and monumental scale, but based on a tough, no-nonsense, no-refinement standard appropriate to its time. Renowned art critic and curator Lucy Lippard's classic, contemporaneous study enriches our understanding of this groundbreaking art movement.
Across three chapters, the author first outlines the phenomenon of Pop Art, its antecedents and related styles ranging from folk art, Surrealism and Dada as well as the work of key artists such as Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. She then focuses on Pop Art in New York, discussing key iconic figures including Claes Oldenburg, Jim Dine, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, Andy Warhol and Tom Wesselmann, who appropriated advertising, comics, and the conventions of commercial art and its specific techniques. Finally, Lippard provides an extensive overview of Pop Art's impact and evolution across Europe, particularly in France, Germany and Italy; and Canada, and so touches upon the work of Christo, Mimmo Rotella and many others, including Niki de Saint Phalle and Joyce Weiland, whose work are now experiencing a resurgence of interest.
101 Surrealists
A concise compendium of the lives and work of the 101 most significant Surrealists by one of the last surviving members of the movement, bestselling author and artist Desmond Morris, who knew several of the key participants personally.
2024 marks the centenary of Surrealism, one of the most influential artistic movements of the modern era. In 1924, André Breton wrote the Surrealist Manifesto, a call to arms which established Surrealism as a literary and artistic movement. Rather than attempting to analyse the work of the Surrealists, bestselling author and Surrealist artist Desmond Morris focuses on them 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?
Featuring 101 artists, from the famous – Duchamp, Dali, Magritte, Miro, Carrington, Kahlo, Picabia, Ernst and others – to the neglected – Mesens, Rimmington, Sage, Fini, Bellmer, Colquhoun and Gonzalez – this book draws on the author’s personal knowledge of the Surrealists, capturing in concise form their life histories, idiosyncrasies and often-complex love lives. Surrealism was both spectacular and international, shaped by the darkest, most irrational workings of the unconscious. Shocking, witty and always entertaining, Morris's potted summaries and punchy anecdotes illuminate striking variations in artistic approach to the Surrealist philosophy, both in the artists’ works and lives.
A complement to Morris's earlier biographical volumes, 101 Surrealists encapsulates each artist in new and abridged texts that convey with immediacy the impact and significance of each of the 101 artists featured.
The Artist's Sketchbook (Victoria and Albert Museum)
The first in an exciting and inspirational new V&A sketchbook series that explores the sketching processes and techniques of artists from the 16th century to the present day.
Artists have been using sketchbooks for many hundreds of years, particularly as part of the preparatory process that leads to the creation of great works.
Selected by curators from the extensive sketchbook collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, and organized chronologically by artist, The Artist’s Sketchbook introduces around eighty profiles from different eras and movements, including John Constable, Beatrix Potter, Paul Nash, and Julie Verhoeven. Each profile includes a short text on the artist and their use of the sketchbook. The book brims with exquisite examples of drawings from life and the imagination, material experimentation and the planning of greater works. With rich, detailed photography, the sketchbooks are shown to be very much works of art in themselves, with open-book shots and selected covers reproduced as well as single pages. The book also highlights less well-known names as well as unrecognized artists, mostly women, for whom sketchbooks provided a creative outlet. While working within the limits of the V&A collection, the selection includes sketchbooks from beyond Britain and Europe by drawing on expertise from across the museum. Just as artists do, some inevitably blur the line between art, design, and fashion.
With an introduction by Jenny Gaschke, Senior Curator of Paintings and Drawings at the V&A, the book highlights the importance of sketching and the sketchbook throughout the history of art. Although not a practical guide to sketching techniques, it will nevertheless inspire the reader and appeal to anyone interested in the process of making art, and to those for whom sketching is a critical part of their own artistic practice.
Tracey Emin Paintings
The first serious study on the paintings of the female icon and one of the most celebrated British artists, Tracey Emin
Dame Tracey Emin DBE is known for her frank, confessional style and for transforming her inner world into intimate works of art. She has become one of the most celebrated artists in the world, a household name, and part of the Art establishment.
Her practice includes painting, drawing, film, photography, sewn appliqué, sculpture, and neon, but in recent years she has focused on painting. Inspired by artists Egon Schiele and Edvard Munch, her paintings are provocative, confrontational, and vulnerable. They are at once deeply personal and universal, and it’s for this reason her work is revered around the world, and she has become an international icon.
The book features more than 300 images of Emin’s gestural and expressive figurative paintings, from the 1990s to today, as well as a conversation with close friend David Dawson and an essay by Australian writer Jennifer Higgie.
Made in close collaboration with the artist, this special book is the first publication dedicated to Emin’s emotive paintings and showcases her soulful work like never before.
David Hockney: Paper Trails
A wide-ranging monograph of over 100 prints by David Hockney.
David Hockney (b. 1937) is renowned for his distinctive paintings, mostly portraiture and landscape, but also for his approach to works on paper and printmaking, mirroring the vibrancy and diligent indexing seen in his broader body of work. Hockney’s prints often showcase a dynamic interplay of colour, form, and perspective, reflecting his keen eye for visual storytelling of intimate elements of his own life.
David Hockney: Paper Trails, accompanying an exhibition at the Shanghai Modern Art Museum in Autumn 2024, examines these works on paper and prints through 129 artworks, mapping out the emotive terrain of his dynamic and vivid compositions. The exhibition, co-curated by Russell Tovey, creator of the popular podcast Talk Art, and the museum’s artistic director Shai Baitel, is intentionally accessible and non-academic. Tovey’s introduction to the catalogue invites the reader to ‘Look and look again’, examining Hockney’s decision to return to the same subjects and sitters repeatedly and the deeper meaning that emerges from the variations on a theme.
This catalogue captures the most comprehensive collection to date of Hockney’s works on paper, encompassing a wide array of image making techniques – from lithography and etching to photo-collage and iPad drawings. His visual experiments, always surprising in their outcomes, suggest a rich interior and exterior life, captured in telling bits and fragments, suggesting a montage of quotidian scenes. The works are curated through affective-atmospheric groupings, with chapters including ‘Playful’, ‘Sombre’, ‘Intimacy’ and ‘Peaceful’, articulating the range of emotional resonance and world-building in Hockney’s practice.
Whether depicting landscapes, portraits of friends, or objects in the home, Hockney’s prints exhibit a harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship and his own distinct playfulness and insight to daily life. The works showcased in this catalogue highlight his continuous dedication to capturing and indexing his life through intimate portraiture and snapshots from his daily routine.
