How Painting Happens (and Why it Matters)
Drawing on decades of conversations with practising artists, Martin Gayford offers intimate insight into the practice, meaning and potential of painting.
Painting is an almost inconceivably ancient activity that remains vigorously alive in the twenty-first century. Every successful painting creates a new world, which we inhabit for as long as we care to look at it. Paintings can incorporate profound ideas and paradoxes that can be grasped without words. For those who dedicate themselves to it, the art of painting can become an all-consuming, lifelong obsession.
It is a subject on which painters themselves are often the most incisive commentators. Martin Gayford’s riveting and richly illustrated book deftly brings together numerous artists’ voices, past and present. It draws on a trove of conversations conducted over more than three decades with artists including Frank Auerbach, Gillian Ayres, Frank Bowling, Cecily Brown, Peter Doig, Lucian Freud, Katharina Fritsch, David Hockney, Claudette Johnson, Lee Ufan, Paula Rego, Gerhard Richter, Bridget Riley, Jenny Saville, Frank Stella, Luc Tuymans, Zeng Fanzhi and many more. Here too is Vincent van Gogh on Rembrandt, John Constable on Titian, Francis Bacon on Velazquez, R. B. Kitaj on Cézanne and Jean-Michel Basquiat on Picasso.
We hear the personal reflections of these artists on their chosen medium; how and why they paint; how they came to the practice; the influence of fellow painters; and how they find creative sustenance and inspiration in their art.
How Painting Happens crosses the centuries to give us a wealth of insights into the endlessly compelling phenomenon of painters and painting.
How Banksy Saved Art History
Grovier’s book reframes [Banksy’s] works in a new light. Inextricably linked to Da Vinci, Monet and Van Gogh, Banksy not only makes art but reinvigorates it - Daily Mail
A new take on the history of art – from da Vinci to Warhol – as reinterpreted and ultimately reinforced by the international phenomenon that is Banksy
Few would dispute that Banksy is the most famous urban artist in the world today. That he is also one of the most perceptive art historians of our age might come as a surprise to many. But the myriad memorable works he has created over the past thirty years constitute an audacious commentary on the history of image-making – a captivating critique waiting to be pieced together.
Armed with little more than stencils, spray paint and an anonymizing cloak of after-hours darkness, Banksy has forged an alluring identity for himself as an incorrigible prankster who doesn’t embrace tradition but shreds it. What actually illuminates Banksy’s audacious murals, impromptu urban sculptures and vandalized paintings, however, is a profound understanding of the story of art. Banksy recasts masterpieces as powerful comments on contemporary issues: climate change, consumerism and the struggle for peace, and reveals these works to be surprisingly elastic, resilient and relevant.
In this fully illustrated and entertaining exploration, bestselling author Kelly Grovier traces art history through Banksy’s lens, presenting many of his most recognizable works: from his droll lampooning of the Lascaux cave paintings to his reinvention of Monet’s enchanting water-lily pond, a reboot of Géricault’s tragic gut-wrenching vision to Vermeer’s girl now instilled with street cred, everyone’s genius is grist for his unmerciful mill. Far from being diminished in their significance, however, the works that Banksy ruthlessly parodies are ultimately refurbished by the ordeal. Banksy’s iconoclastic works force us to rethink our affection for, and appreciation of, great works of art that define cultural history.
Alfred Kubin - The Aesthetic of Evil
Alfred Kubin's view on the world of evil
The ALBERTINA modern exhibition presents Alfred Kubin’s view of the world of evil, the predominant theme of his life and work. The aesthetics of evil prove to be the antithesis of a tranquil idyll for him, one of the most outstanding drawing artists of the twentieth century. Trapped in his fantasies, he finds himself confronted with uncanny dream apparitions and a pronounced fear of the feminine, the night, and fate. This catalogue explores Kubin’s graphic cosmos of the ominous, his nightmares and obsessions and the iconography of evil.

Joan Mitchell: Paintings, 1979-1985
Discover Joan Mitchell's powerful and dynamic work-spotlighted in this book as never before
"An entry for one of the best shows of 2022. . . . Mitchell, then in her 50s, reaches peak form in gathering brushstrokes that flicker and burn like auras on fire." -Jerry Saltz, New York magazine
This highly anticipated publication focuses on the years 1979 to 1985-a significant and deeply generative period within Joan Mitchell's decades-long career. As Mitchell became even more fully immersed in daily life at her property in Vétheuil, France-surrounded by lush gardens, and challenged and inspired by new creative relationships-her studio practice flourished and her work became even more ambitious and expansive. Executed in an increasingly bold palette, the works from this period exemplify Mitchell's nuanced mastery of composition, scale, and color. In addition to her large-scale abstract works, this publication features numerous smaller paintings and a selection of archival materials.
Included in the book are several texts that complement the illustrated works. A new essay by the bestselling author Julie Otsuka recollects her encounters with Mitchell's paintings over the years. A fascinating conversation between Mitchell and the French philosopher Yves Michaud from 1986 is featured. Reflections by the artists Amy Sillman, Shinique Smith, and Lily Stockman each explore a unique component of Mitchell's oeuvre or practice, underscoring Mitchell's continued influence on artists today.
Yayoi Kusama: I Spend Each Day Embracing Flowers
The newest book from the widely revered Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama features her latest monumental and vibrant work and is the first to explore the experience of seeing it from the lens of the visitor
"My entire life has been painted here. Every day, any day. I will never cease dedicating my whole life to my love for the universe." -Yayoi Kusama
One of the most influential artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Yayoi Kusama occupies a unique position within recent art history. Since the 1950s, she has created a profoundly personal oeuvre that resonates with a global audience. Distinctly recognizable, her works frequently deploy repetitive elements-such as dots-to evoke both microscopic and macroscopic universes.
Celebrating the visitor experience, this publication offers an immersive tour of Kusama's 2023 exhibition at David Zwirner, New York. Illustrating thirty-five paintings, a gigantic sculptural installation of pumpkins, a trio of towering, colorful flower sculptures, and a fan-favorite Infinity Mirror Room, I Spend Each Day Embracing Flowers is a vivid document with varying perspectives that echo Kusama's own.
New scholarship by Robert Slifkin looks at how Kusama innovates and complicates art historical traditions of image production and how her art seeks to connect humans with the greater cosmos. An essay by Lynn Zelevansky reflects on her own long-standing engagement with Kusama's work and the ways in which it, across the decades, can be seen as a record of love in all its complexity: full of humanity, generosity, affection, sadness, and pain.

Sumi-e: The Mindful Art of Japanese Ink Painting
Learn the engaging art of Japanese sumi painting, where simple sweeps of the brush capture the essence of nature.
The Japanese art tradition of Sumi-e uses brushes and ink washes to combine calligraphic lines with carefully thought out blank spaces. Traditionally focusing on flowers and plants, this mindful art form has roots in Zen Buddhism, striving to capture the essence and natural vitality of a subject, rather than creating a realistic representation.
In this beautifully illustrated step-by-step guide, master calligraphic artist Akemi Lucas describes the equipment, brush positioning, ink-mixing techniques and mindset needed to excel at this delightful art form. Ideal both for beginners and accomplished Sumi-e artists, the projects start with orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, and plum blossom – known as ‘The Four Gentlemen’ – and increase in complexity through fruits and flowers to water, insects, and birds. Many of the later projects also include important advice on background washes and other advanced techniques that will add sophistication to your work.
Prepare your ink, clear your mind, and create natural wonderlands using simple sweeps of the brush.

Očima Franze Kafky
Kniha Očima Franze Kafky: Mezi obrazem a jazykem mapuje zájem spisovatele Franze Kafky o výtvarné umění a vizuální kulturu jeho doby. Představuje různorodé obrazy, které určovaly Kafkovu každodenní vizuální zkušenost v rodné Praze – heterogenní a mnohojazyčné metropoli. Kafka se zabýval malířstvím a sochařstvím, architekturou a památkami a také celou řadou populárních vizuálních médií a jevů, od ilustrovaných časopisů a reklamy až po film, fotografii, tanec a kabaret. Publikace zkoumá, jak se Kafkův vztah k vizualitě odrážel v jazyce jeho textů a v jeho zájmu o kresbu, v níž se mu dostalo základního vzdělání a které se věnoval ve volném čase v době vysokoškolských studií.

Anish Kapoor - Unseen
Showcases works from the past 40 years of one of Britain's most acclaimed living artists
In the spring of 2024, ARKEN Museum of Modern Art presents the first solo exhibition in Scandinavia featuring one of Britain's most renowned artists. In his monumental and spectacular installations, Anish Kapoor explores the tension between mass and emptiness, between what can be seen and what cannot. This is evident when he invites viewers to let their gaze disappear into his 'black holes' - the paradoxical manifestation of invisibility that fundamentally challenges the experience of the spectator. Kapoor's works evoke both awe and a sense of disquiet; they are often executed on a very large scale and are extremely physical and present.
The richly illustrated exhibition catalog delves into Anish Kapoor's work through selected pieces and texts, opening up a wide range of philosophical, poetic, physical, and existential questions.
Ladislav Mednyánszky - K 100. výročiu úmrtia umelca/The 100th anniversary of artist’s death, 2. vydanie
Ladislav MEDNYÁNSZKY (1852 Beckov – 1919 Viedeň) bol jedným z najvýznamnejších maliarov prelomu 19. a 20. storočia a rozhodne najznámejším umelcom Barbizonu u nás. Vo svojej dobe bol uznávaný predovšetkým ako krajinár. Barbizonské chápanie krajiny bolo v súlade s jeho vnútorným svetom a tento typ krajinomaľby v duchu lyrického realizmu, ktorý uprednostňoval zážitok umelca, jeho individuálne pocity a nálady, čoskoro priviedol na majstrovskú úroveň. Prehlboval sa jeho záujem o filozofiu, budhizmus a teozofiu, ktoré zamýšľal istým spôsobom zapracovať do svojich diel.
Erik Binder - Visual Punk
Publikácia slúži ako katalóg k výstave v Galérii Nedbalka. Erik Binder bol významný slovenský vizuálny umelec, ktorý pôsobil na výtvarnej scéne tri desaťročia až do svojej predčasnej smrti v júni 2023. Svojou tvorbou sa zaradil k najvýznamnejším predstaviteľom strednej generácie autorov súčasnej umeleckej scény. Realizoval sa v rôznych sférach vizuálneho umenia. Poznali sme ho ako maliara, performera či tvorcu inštalácií.
