What Great Paintings Say. 100 Masterpieces in Detail
This important addition to our understanding of art history's masterworks puts some of the world's most famous paintings under a magnifying glass to uncover their most small and subtle elements and all they reveal about a bygone time, place, and culture.
Guiding our eye to the minutiae of subject and symbolism, authors Rose-Marie and Rainer Hagen allow even the most familiar of pictures to come alive anew through their intricacies and intrigues. Is the bride pregnant? Why does the man wear a beret? How does the shadow of war hang over a scene of dancing? Along the way, we travel from Ancient Egypt through to modern Europe, from the Renaissance to the Roaring Twenties. We meet Greek heroes and poor German poets and roam from cathedrals to cabaret bars, from the Garden of Eden to a Garden Bench in rural France.
As we pick apart each painting and then reassemble it like a giant jigsaw puzzle, these celebrated canvases captivate not only in their sheer wealth of details but also in the witness they bear to the fashions and trends, people and politics, loves and lifestyles of their time.
Van Gogh
Meet Vincent van Gogh, the tortured genius of 19th-century art. This lush tome collects all his 871 paintings, alongside writings and essays, charting the life and work of a master who continues to tower over art to this day. From Sunflowers and The Starry Night to Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear, celebrate an artist uniquely dexterous in the representation of texture and mood, light and place.

Milan Veselý (1935 - 2016)
Grafický dizajnér Milan Veselý spolupracoval s väčšinou slovenských vydavateľstiev a zanechal po sebe nesmierne objemnú prácu z oblasti knižnej tvorby a typografie. Rovnako aktívny bol aj na poli plagátovej tvorby – vytvoril množstvo plagátov pre galérie, múzeá, divadlá (SND, Nová scéna v Bratislave, Divadlo na Korze – Astorka Korzo '90 – vrátane loga tohto divadla). Ťažisko jeho práce však spočívalo predovšetkým vo výstavníctve, kde sa stal doslova priekopníkom progresívnych výstavníckych metód. Jeho posledným veľkým dielom je Pamätník holokaustu v Seredi. Ten po jeho smrti dokončuje dcéra Nina Cohen Veselá, ktorá je hlavnou zostavovateľkou tejto monografie. Cennú pozostalosť Milana Veselého v súčasnosti spravuje umelcova manželka, pani Zita Furková, ktorá sa intenzívne podieľala na príprave knihy, vychádzajúcej v spolupráci so Slovenským centrom dizajnu.
Ivan Csudai: Vita Circulus Est ( Práce na papieri )
Monografia Petra Michaloviča Ivan Csudai: Vita circulus est prezentuje kresby a grafiky významného slovenského výtvarného umelca. Autor monografie sa zameral na rekonštrukciu genézy a vývinu umelcovej tvorby, pokúsil sa detailne interpretovať sémantiku a syntax umelcovho individuálneho štýlu, pričom upozorňuje aj na zlom v tvorbe, ktorý práce na papieri delí do dvoch asymetrických celkov. Výber kresieb a grafík reprodukovaných v monografii prezentuje všetky polohy umelcovej kresby a grafiky tak, aby si čitateľ porozumel kreativite a variabilite jeho tvorby. Na výbere sa významným dielom podielal Ivan Csudai, ktorý je aj autorom dizajnu a zalomenia publikácie. Súčasťou monografie je aj text Mariana Zervana.
Eva Mansfeldová. Monografie
Monografie Evy Mansfeldové (1950-2016), dnes nejvýznamnější představitelky české variace konkrétního umění a svým způsobem i op artu. Malířky, jejíž originální tvarosloví je založeno na vztazích mezi geometrickými tvary a barvou.
Tvorbu Evy Mansfeldové lze z hlediska umělecké stylu zařadit mezi geometrickou abstrakci, op art či konstruktivismus.
Její obrazy jsou založeny na vztazích mezi geometrickými tvary a barvou, představují permanentní a systematický průzkum zákonitosti vjemů, cílem je vyvolání zrakové iluze pohybu dosahovaného plošnou strukturou a barevností.
Její ztvárnění vychází z myšlenkového směru druhé poloviny dvacátého století, jehož základní ideou je pojetí, že "univerzálnost umění sebou nese i univerzálnost tvarosloví".

Sníh, kámen, hvězda, strom
Katalog výstavy Sníh, kámen, hvězda, strom autorů Vladimíra Havlíka a Rudolfa Sikory vznikl s ambicí co nejvíce uchovat a zpřítomňovat probíhající přehlídku, která představila díla obou autorů formou vizuální eseje o našich snech o přítomnosti a tušené budoucnosti. Klíčem výstavy tak nebylo historizující hledisko, ale aktualizace obsahů a témat, s nimiž autoři pracují. Mimo kurátorský text, kontextualizující vystavená umělecká díla vůči tématům, problémům a výzvám dneška, publikace obsahuje sled reprodukcí děl, který zračí vnitřní logiku a rytmus výstavy samotné.
Výstava od: 12. 5. 2020 do: 27. 9. 2020, Colloredo-Mansfeldský palác, Karlova 1/189/2, Praha 1, piano nobile a 3. patro

Monet
Impressionism took its name from the title of a painting that Claude Monet (1840-1926) exhibited in 1874. More than any other artist, Monet was the creator of the Impressionist vision, which has so forcefully shaped the way in which he habitually see nature today. For sixty years he continuously explored ways of translating his experiences into paint, in pictures that take us from the bustling life of Paris in the 1860s to the seclusion of his own water-garden, which he painted in his last years.
John House's introduction to Monet's life and work presents a sequence of dazzling illustrations that chart the artist's progress as he became increasingly preoccupied with colour and atmospheric effect, and the direct studies of nature gave way to paintings of greater richness and harmony, in which the play of varied colours replaced the conventional drawing and modelling of forms.
Picasso
The name which predominates in the development of art throughout the twentieth century, and to which many of the revolutionary changes are ascribed, is that of Pablo Picasso (1881-1973). Not only was he one of the most influential artists, he was also one of the most versatile. This beautifully produced book surveys the whole range of his paintings, from the haunting works of the Blue Period, to the brute power of Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, the lyrical sweetness of his family portraits, the revolutionary developments of Cubism and the later manifold experimentations with form and colour.
Roland Penrose's introductory essay on Picasso was first published in 1971, when the great master was still alive. Penrose was acclaimed in his own right as a painter, and his long friendship with Picasso gave him unique insight into his life and work. David Lomas has written a preface introducing us to the friendship between these two artists.
He has also written notes to each full-page colour plate, discussing the picture in detail, making this a perfect introduction to the twentieth century's most famous artist.
Klimt
Gustave Klimt (1862-1918) was one of the most brilliant artists of the Austrian avant-garde. Admired for his sensual images of women and for his powerful and original vision, he produced some of the most haunting and evocative images of all time, including The Kiss, Love and The Three Ages of Woman, all of which are included in this perfect introduction to the artist's work. Klimt started out as a decorator, opening a studio with his brother Ernst.
Some of his most famous commissions were for murals, including the magnificent Beethoven Frieze, painted for the exhibition of Max Klinger's statue of Beethoven, and the monumental ceiling paintings for the auditorium of Vienna University, which shocked a conservative public. A founder of Vienna Secession, the band of artists who resigned from the established art bodies to form their own group, Klimt became the principal painter of the Art Nouveau movement, painting glittering portraits of fashionable Viennese society as well as startling and erotic allegories.
Van Gogh
The career of Vincent Van Gogh (1853-90) as a painter was short, but his paintings revolutionized artistic practice and styles. The intensity of his vision, his wonderful sense of colour and the extraordinary boldness of his technique created masterpieces that exercised a profound influence on the art of the twentieth century. There are also enormously popular, and paintings such as The Yellow Chair, The Drawbridge and The Sower are among the most the best-loved images of our time.
Wilhelm Uhde was an outstanding art critic and dealer who was born during Van Gogh's lifetime and witnessed at first hand his rise to fame at the beginning of the twentieth century. His masterly essay was first published in 1937 and remains one of the best introductions to Van Gogh's work. For this revised and expanded edition, the notes to the plates were added by Griselda Pollock, Professor of Social and Critical Histories of Art at the University of Leeds.
Dali
Salvador Dali (1904-89) is one of the most controversial and paradoxical artists of the twentieth century. A painter of considerable virtuosity, he used a traditional illusionistic style to create disturbing images filled with references to violence, death, cannibalism and bizarre sexual practices, from the extraordinary fluid watches in The Persistence of Memory to the gruesome monster in Soft Construction with Boiled Beans and the fetishistic lobster in the famous Lobster Telephone. Born in Figueras, Spain, Dali started out as a Cubist, but subsequently became involved with the Surrealists in Paris, the most revolutionary artists of the time. They regarded his paintings as revealing the hidden world of the unconscious. Indeed, the Surrealists' leader, Andre Breton, remarked: "It is perhaps with Dali that for the first time the windows of the mind are opened fully wide". However, Breton later expelled him from the group for his Fascist sympathies and derided his commercial success in the United States, calling him "Avida Dollars", an anagram of his name. Dali's response was equally curt: "The difference between me will the Surrealists is that I am a Surrealist". Far from restricting his interests to painting, Dali also wrote two autobiographies, including "Diary of a Genius" (1965), designed sets and costumes for a play by his friend Federico Garcia Lorca and collaborated with Luis Bunuel on the films "Un Chien Andalou" (1929) and "L'Age d'or" (1931), a medium which proved particularly apt for his provocative imagery.
Bosch. The Complete Works
An exhaustive exploration of one of art history’s most mysterious masters, Hieronymus Bosch. This monograph, based on the XXL edition which saw TASCHEN commission new photography of recently restored works, unravels his oeuvre through accessible texts, a special chapter on The Garden of Earthly Delights, a fold-out of The Last Judgment, and details reproduced so impeccably that they become paintings in themselves.
A bird-monster devouring sinners, naked bodies in tantric contortions, a pair of ears brandishing a sharpened blade: with just 20 paintings and nine drawings to his name, Netherlandish visionary Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450–1516) secured his place as a pillar of art history. To this day, the painter par excellence of hell and its demons continues to puzzle and enthrall scholars, artists, designers, and musicians alike.
Based on the best-selling XXL edition, which saw TASCHEN commission new and exclusive photography of details and recently restored works, this large-scale monograph presents Bosch’s complete oeuvre. Texts from art historian and Bosch expert Stefan Fischer dissect the many compelling elements that populate each scene, from hybrid creatures of man and beast to Bosch’s pictorial use of proverbs and idioms. By tying together the elusive threads of his oeuvre into one exhaustive overview, this book reveals just what it was about Bosch and his painting that proved so immensely influential.
Features:
Impeccable full-page reproductions celebrating the artist’s staggering compositional scope
Enlarged details unveiling the most intricate and bizarre scenes as much as the unsuspected technical minutiae, from subtle brush-strokes to the grain of the canvas
A fold-out spread drawn from the legendary Last Judgement
A special chapter focusing on Bosch’s most famous work, the mesmerizing and terrifying triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights

A Visual Protest: The Art of Banksy
Decades before he blew the lid off the high-stakes art world by shredding a work immediately following its purchase at an auction, Banksy was committing acts of artistic protest on the streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world. We still don't know who Banksy is, but thanks to this book we have a greater sense of how he works. This book features approximately eighty works from the start of his street art career to today, most photographed in situ and presented in vibrant illustrations. This book guides readers through Banksy's artistic processes and explains his influences, such as the Situationism movement and the May 1968 uprising in Paris. It delves into key works such as Love Is in the Air, a stencilled graffiti that subverts the idea of violent protest; Flag, in which the iconic American photograph at Iwo Jima is altered to reflect a group of Harlem children atop a burnt-out car; and the slyly titled Turf War, in which Winston Churchill sports a grassy Mohawk. The book also pays tribute to Banksy's rats, a reviled symbol of urban decay that the artist reimagines as rappers, violin players, and painters. As Banksy continues to challenge the political, economic, and racial oppression that takes place every day in cities around the world, this book offers a timely appreciation of just how the artist has embedded himself into the psyche of the powerful as well as the voiceless-without ever revealing his own identity.
