Theodor Pištěk, Jan Pištěk - Dva světy / Two Worlds
Kniha zachycuje jedinečné setkání Theodora a Jana Pištěka, otce a syna, dvou vynikajících malířů, kteří se představili v roce 2022 na přehlídce Dva světy v pražské Galerii Villa Pellé.
Šlo o významnou událost: přes nejužší příbuzenskou vazbu totiž společně nikdy nevystavovali.
Theodor je klíčovou osobností hyperrealistického malířství a jeho tvorba kostýmního návrháře mu přinesla světové uznání.
Jan zaujímá důležité postavení v postmoderní generaci, jež vstoupila na uměleckou scénu na přelomu osmdesátých a devadesátých 20. století.
Každý má svůj nezaměnitelný styl vycházející z osobitého vidění skutečnosti a oba jsou perfekcionisti.
Kniha přibližuje úctyhodné rodinné kořeny, ukazuje všechny vystavené obrazy a plastiky a zároveň pro budoucnosti uchovává podobu přehlídky, jež měla mimořádný divácký ohlas.

Kay Nielsen. 1001 Nights
In the late 1910s, in a Europe ravaged by World War I, Danish illustrator Kay Nielsen put the finishing touches on his illustrations of A Thousand and One Nights. The results are considered masterpieces of early 20th-century illustration: bursting with sumptuous colors of deep blues, reds, and gold leaf, and evoking all the magic of this legendary collection of Indo-Persian and Arabic folktales, compiled between the 8th and 13th centuries.However, publishers retreated from Nielsen's project in the financially strapped postwar climate, and the publication never happened.
A rising star, Nielsen moved on to other work. This world heritage classic's spectacular pen, ink, and watercolor images remained under lock and key for 40 years. Published just once in the 1970s, the illustrations were rescued from oblivion after Nielsen's death in 1957 and are now held by the UCLA Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, the Art Institute of Chicago, and in two private collections.This publication is a unique compilation of fine art prints and stunning illustrations reproduced directly from Nielsen's original watercolors?the only complete set of his extraordinary drawings to have survived.
The book features descriptions of all of the images and three generously illustrated essays on the making of this series, the origin of Nielsen's unique imagery, and a history of the tales. In addition, it shows many unpublished or rarely seen artworks by Nielsen and intricate black-and-white drawings Nielsen created for the original publication.

Michael Raedecker
The most comprehensive survey of the celebrated Dutch artist Michael Raedecker’s work spanning his 30-year career
Michael Raedecker, the acclaimed Dutch artist, records the memories held within spaces and objects in his enigmatic and dream-like paintings. Suburban homes, tree houses, and empty rooms and vacant chairs, all float in haunting isolation. Muted hues are penetrated with thread and needle where the artist hand-sews forms into textural materiality.
Since the beginning of his career as a painter, Raedecker has incorporated embroidery into his works as a visual counterpoint to his washed-out paint application. This survey of his work, designed by the acclaimed Dutch graphic designer, Irma Boom, is the most comprehensive published to date, featuring essays by a unique and diverse group of critics, curators, artists, and academics.
Kamila Ženatá
Dílo Kamily Ženaté nelze přiřadit k žádným skupinovým trendům tuzemské výtvarné scény posledních dekád. Autorka patří ke generaci umělců, která, slovy kunsthistoričky Mileny Slavické, „byla jakoby zasypána pískem“. Její hluboce solitérní a zároveň vysoce komunikativní umělecká výpověď je hodnotná nejen bohatstvím suverénně zvládnutých výrazových faset (grafika, malba, video art, site-specific, instalace), ale především komplexním lidským a duchovním poselstvím. Svou tvorbou Kamila Ženatá usiluje o poznání hlubin přírody i lidské duše, a v ještě hlubším plánu o poznání podstaty Bytí. Inspirována taoismem, psychoanalýzou, kvantovou fyzikou i psychedelickými prožitky zkoumá možnosti vyjádření nevyjádřitelného. Monografie zahrnuje výběr z autorčiny tvorby od roku 1972 do roku 2022, od začátků na Akademii výtvarných umění přes řadu unikátních autorských projektů (např. Nauč se stát na jedné noze, 2. patro, Ženský dvůr, Horizont událostí) až po dnešek. Vývoj díla mapuje bilanční rozhovor, který s Kamilou Ženatou vedl básník Milan Ohnisko. Reprodukce kreseb, grafik, instalací a maleb jsou řazeny v časovém sledu a doplněny fotografiemi z autorčina osobního archivu i úryvky z textů reflektujících její tvorbu. Malíř Viktor Pivovarov v předmluvě píše: „Její nejnovější obrazy působí, jako by nebyly dílem lidské ruky, ale vzniky samy od sebe, spontánně. Kamila osvobodila malířský jazyk, aby sám mluvil, dala barvě možnost žít svým životem. Ustoupila jako autorka, stala se prostředníkem, jímž prochází energie a významy, které Kamilu přesahují.“
Masterpieces of Fantasy Art. 40th Ed
Fantasy art, that colorful blend of myth, muscle and sexy maidens, took off in 1923 with the launch of Weird Tales magazine, was reinvigorated in the 1960s with The Lord of the Rings, Conan the Barbarian paperbacks with Frank Frazetta covers, and the late ’60s emergence of fantasy psychedelia. It went big in the ’70s with the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, the brilliant French magazine Métal Hurlant, and the first Star Wars film. The number of active artists peaked in that decade, but a new generation of fans discovered the genre through fantasy trading card games in the ’90s, leading to a massive interest in the art form today. Frank Frazetta’s oil paintings?when they infrequently come to market?have sold for more than $ 5 million in recent years. Fans line up at Comic-Cons to meet Boris Vallejo, Rodney Matthews, Greg Hildebrandt, Michael Whelan, and Philippe Druillet, and memorialize dead icons HR Giger, Jeffrey Catherine Jones, and Frazetta. Imagine how eagerly they’ll welcome TASCHEN’s History of Fantasy Art, including all the artists listed above and more.
This book features original paintings, contextualized by preparatory sketches, sculptures, calendars, magazines, and paperback books, for an immersive dive into this dynamic, fanciful genre. Insightful bios go beyond Wikipedia to give a more accurate and eye-opening look into the life of each artist. This collection will reign as the most exquisite and informative guide to this popular subject for years to come.

Van Gogh in Auvers-Sur-Oise
A landmark publication tracing the final months of Van Gogh’s life.
Van Gogh in Auvers-sur-Oise: His Final Months offers a unique and impressive overview of the paintings and drawings that Vincent van Gogh created during the last seventy days of his life. He produced no fewer than seventy-four paintings and over thirty drawings in the course of the intense, productive period leading up to his self-inflicted death on July 29, 1890. While the Portrait of Dr Gachet, The Church at Auvers, and Wheatfield with Crows are numbered among his greatest masterpieces, this part of his oeuvre is otherwise less known?unfairly so?than the sunny landscapes he painted in the south of France.
The book follows the artist from his arrival in Auvers-sur-Oise,where he set to work full of hope and with fresh ambitions, through to his final weeks. Essays by leading Van Gogh specialists highlight his artistic ambitions and mental state during this final phase, his exploration of the Auvers landscape, the flower still lifes, the portraits, and the panoramic landscapes he painted there, the role played by his drawings, and his artistic reputation at the time of his death and in the years immediately afterward.
In addition to the Auvers paintings, the book is richly illustrated with drawings, sketches, historical photographs, and detailed maps of the places Van Gogh worked. Also featured are related works by contemporaries and predecessors whom he admired.

Max Ernst
With unparalleled artistic originality Max Ernst (1891–1976) transformed everything he touched. By pushing the boundaries and breaking loose from the confined view of the culture of his time, he became one of the most important figures of Dadaism and Surrealism. Driven by the counter-reaction to the horrors of World War I, he became a pioneer of the Dada movement. The closing of the famed Dada exhibit in Cologne for ‘obscenity’ led Ernst to spend the rest of his life in Paris, where he came in contact with the Surrealists.
Above all, Ernst stands out for his varied style and technique, having produced an oeuvre that reaches from paintings, drawings, and sculpture, across texts and stage settings to collage novels and the development of his own ‘frottage’ technique. During World War II, Ernst, like many of his colleagues, became an ‘undesirable foreigner’ and was forced to emigrate; however, he returned to France after the war. Continuing a career that spanned decades, in 1954 he received the Grand Prize for Painting at the Biennial in Venice.
This book is a journey through magic, vividness, and fantasy. It is a gateway into the intricate mind and world of Max Ernst.

A reformkor művészete: Festészet
Kötetünk a reformkori művészet - az uralkodó bidermeier és a mellette jelen lévő klasszicizáló és romantikus irányzatok - sokszínű törekvéseit tárgyalja. A képzőművészet új témákat, új műfajokat és új látásmódot hozott: a hétköznapi embert és környezetét állította a középpontba, stilárisan pedig szépítő és idealizáló mértékletesség, bensőségesség jellemezte. Egyfajta tömegkultúrát láthattunk benne, amely a polgári erények és az otthon kultuszának hírdetése mellett a nemzeti érzés erősítését is szolgálta. A kultúrális vívmányok nagyban meghatározták a 19. század képzőművészetét és a művészeti intézmények fejlődésének irányát is. Ennek a csendes, egyszerűségében megkapó, átélhető és szerethető festészetnek a változatosságát mutatjuk be érdekes történeteken és illusztrációkon keresztül.
Drawing in the Present Tense
A richly illustrated, up-to-the-minute overview of new approaches in drawing, set in the context of recent developments of other forms of contemporary art. This book explores the variety of ways in which contemporary artists from around the world have come to approach drawing as the primary, sometimes the sole, element of their practice, and one which is autonomous: an end in itself rather than a means to an end in another, more substantial medium. In an era of advanced technologies where image production has accelerated - potentially beyond the capacity of human attention - what values can be attributed to the slow, deliberate process of drawing by hand? The artworks featured in this volume are not confined to traditional tools - one can also draw on a computer, tablet or smartphone, and examples of digital drawing are incorporated into the narrative not as a separate category but as one medium among many.
Grouped thematically by specific approaches, including abstraction and figuration, nature and artifice, social observation and critique, with essays and feature spreads for each section, this selection of international artists of diverse backgrounds and experience includes not only recognizable names such as Michael Armitage, Camille Henrot, Robert Longo, Amy Sillman and Kara Walker, but also a host of emerging talents. Beautifully presented in a visually appealing and tactile format with the feel of an artist's portfolio, this is an inspiring overview of the best drawing practice today.

Stano Filko (Bilingual edition)
Stano Filko is considered as an influential utopian and polyartist, who understood art and life universally and cosmologically as a unity beyond geographical attributions of East and West. Filko was one of the most important representatives of the Central European neo-avant-gardes, whose work has remained current. Early on, he designed hybrid objects and environments, extending them into unfamiliar terrains with his basic conceptual approach. Again and again, the focus of the work changes: assemblages are followed by text-based works and performances that attempt to circumvent state repression, and later by large-scale gestural painting, characterized by artistic self-assertion, and finally by a final phase, which he dedicates to his increasingly complex "System SF". The publication approaches the multi-layered oeuvre from various perspectives and takes a fresh look at this exuberant oeuvre.
After achievements in the 1960s, Stano Filko (1937-2015) became persona non grata as a result of the Prague Spring, which led to a daring escape from the "Eastern Bloc", his participation in Documenta, and him eventually moving to New York. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, he returned to Bratislava and transformed the studio house Snezienková into a multi-dimensional, colorful "gesamtkunstwerk".
