Ve jménu moudrosti
Barokní knihovny patří k nejkrásnějším a také nejzajímavějším interiérům, které se z období baroka zachovaly. Jejich umělecká výzdoba vyniká především nástěnnými malbami, jejichž ikonografie je mnohdy zcela jedinečná. Náměty fresek obvykle navrhovali představení klášterů či vzdělaní členové klášterní komunity a jejich tematika byla vždy spojena s oslavou Boží moudrosti. Tento základní námětový okruh byl různě variován a v mnoha případech zahrnoval unikátní motivy, jejichž interpretace je dnes velmi obtížná. Porozumět těmto výjimečným malbám umožňuje studium dobové ikonologie a kulturního kontextu, v němž tyto malby vznikaly. Kniha je první monografií věnovanou umělecké výzdobě barokních klášterních knihoven v 18. století na Moravě. Je zaměřena zejména na rekonstrukci ikonografických programů nástěnných maleb v knihovnách, ale zabývá se také formálně-stylovou stránkou fresek a jejich autorstvím. Všímá si i další umělecké výzdoby knihovních sálů, zejména sochařské, a je-li to možné, zapojuje výzdobu knihoven do ikonologické koncepce daných objektů.
Representing Women
Women - as warriors, workers, mothers, sensual women,even absent women - haunt 19th- and 20th-century Western painting: their representation is one of its most common subjects.
Representing Women brings together Linda Nochlin's most important writings on the subject, as she considers work by Miller, Delacroix, Courbet, Degas, Seurat, Cassatt and Kollwitz, among many others. In her riveting, partly autobiographical, extended introduction, Nochlin documents her own pioneering approach to art history; throughout the seven essays in this book, she argues for the honest virtues of an art history that rejects methodological assumptions, and for art historians who investigate the work before their eyes while focusing on its subject matter, informed by a sensitivity to its feminist spirit.

Leonardo
For the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci, this updated edition of our XL title provides the most comprehensive survey of the life and work of the master painter, sculptor, architect, and inventor. The catalogue raisonnéof paintings covers both surviving and lost works, while full-bleed detailsallow us to inspect even the subtlest brushstrokes that came to revolutionize art history.
Unmatched in his ingenuity, technical prowess, and curiosity, Leonardo da Vinci(1452–1519) epitomizes the humanistic ideal of the Renaissance man: a peerless master of painting, sculpture, cartography, anatomy, architecture—and more. Simultaneously captivating art historians, collectors, and the millions who flock yearly to admire his works, Leonardo’s appeal is as diffuse as were his preoccupations. His images permeate nearly every facet of Western culture—The Vitruvian Manis engraved into millions of Euro coins, The Last Supperis considered the single most reproduced religious painting in history, and the Mona Lisahas entranced countless artists and observers for centuries.
On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of his death, this updated edition of our XL title is an unrivaled survey of Leonardo’s life and work, including a catalogue raisonné encompassing both his surviving and lost paintings. Through stunning full-bleed details, we experience every measured brushstroke, each a testament to Leonardo’s masterful ability.
An expansive catalog of nearly 700 of Leonardo’s drawingsfurther illuminates the breadth of his pursuits. From diagrams of intricately engineered machines to portraits of plump infants, they stand reflective of his boundless and visionary technical imagination, balanced with a subtle and perceptive hand, capable of rendering quotidian moments with moving emotional timbre.
Also included is a new forewordby Frank Zöllner, expanded exclusively for this special edition, which dissects the latest scientific developments on Leonardo’s work and the story behind the haunting Salvator Mundi, which recently fetched a record-breaking $ 450 million at auction.

Juraj Gábor. Kresby z pantografu / Pantograph drawing
Kniha Kresby z pantografu predstavuje výber nákresov Juraja Gábora k priestorovým realizáciám a výstavným projektom z rokov 2013 - 2016. Kresby boli vytvorené ručne. Charakter architektonických náčrtov sa strieda s prácami zdôrazňujúcimi abstraktné tvaroslovie, ktoré evokuje nemateriálne princípy (atmosféra, svetelnosť, rytmus, gradácia a i.). Vyznenie kresieb spoluvytvára druh papiera – jednotlivé priesvity odhaľujú pred nami nové vizuálne vzťahy.
Kresba je pomalým médiom. Vyžaduje čas i sústredenie nielen na strane autora, ale aj diváka/diváčky. Podstatným prvkom tvorby Juraja Gábora je snaha upriamiť našu pozornosť na často zanedbávané detaily a v neposlednom rade porozumieť, ako a na čo sa dívame.
Posy Simmonds
In the course of a career spanning more than fifty years, Posy Simmonds has become one of Britain's best-known satirical cartoonists. She is also as a much-loved author and artist of widely translated children's books and graphic novels. These include Fred, animated in 1996 into the Oscar-nominated short film Famous Fred, and Gemma Bovery and Tamara Drewe, both adapted into films, increasing her international fame.
Simmonds once described her job on a census form as `a visual engineer'. Her extraordinary precision of drawing, her powers of observation and her sharp but welltempered wit have made her one the Britain's most sophisticated innovators, renowned especially for expanding the scope and subtlety of comics. This is the first book to explore Simmonds's life and work from her early childhood to the present day.
In a series of interviews with Paul Gravett she offered insights into her creative process and provided unprecedented access to her `workroom' and archives containing sketchbooks and rare or never-before-seen artworks. A portrait emerges of Posy Simmonds as a chronicler and critic of contemporary British society and a storyteller in words and pictures of rare perception and humanity.
Monet: The Late Years
A detailed overview of the innovation and ambition that drove one of the best-known Impressionist painters at the end of his career
In the later years of his life, Claude Monet (1840-1926) stayed close to home, turning to his extraordinary garden at Giverny for inspiration. The garden became a laboratory for the artist's concentrated study of natural phenomena-and for a revolutionary shift in the appearance and execution of his paintings. This beautiful publication examines the last phase of Monet's career, beginning in 1913, bringing together approximately 60 of his greatest works from this period.
More specifically, Monet: The Late Years focuses on the series that Monet invented and reinvented at Giverny, reevaluating many large-scale works that have long been considered preparatory studies, reexamining their relationship to and status as finished works. Essays by a roster of distinguished scholars address topics such as Monet's plans for displaying his late paintings, the mechanics of his painting technique, and the critical and market reception of these works. Through this visually stunning reassessment, Monet's late works, still astonishing a century later, recast the titan of Impressionism as a radical modern painter.

Exploring Hyperrealism
This original work introduces readers to the drawing and painting techniques in the hyperrealist movement, a style applied to painting whose techniques aspire to photographic exactitude in drawing. From the first action before viewing the piece--the search for information and reference images--to different drawing and sculpture techniques, the book offers a step-by-step explanation of the creative process and shows readers how to illustrate in black and white and with colored pencils, how to work with watercolors and oil, how to create a trompe l'oeil and how to create a realistic looking 3D model. Readers will find all the techniques and suggestions they need to make their own hyperrealist creations, all explained in a pleasant and fun way. It is an original and creative way to introduce different drawing techniques that will awaken the artist inside of us all and whose results will strike most readers as surprising given the degree of realism achieved, as if they were photographs. The book includes references to contemporary artists who have used each of the techniques described, curiosities in the world of art and other tricks of the trade.

Look Again
The art of the past can seem very far away, obscured both by time and by knotty academic theory. Foregrounding the experience of the contemporary viewer, Look Again shows how this need not be the case. Ossian Ward's simple, ten-step programme acts as an aid to looking, breaking down the often obscure strategies of the Old Masters into intuitive categories - from Art as Honesty to Art as Vision.
Look Again's novel approach is influenced by John Berger's Ways of Seeing, but is here updated for the art world of the 21st century. Key to this book is an emphasis on ways of experiencing Old Masters - more than just looking. Just as contemporary art should be judged by how it moves us, cajoles us and envelops us, so too can the great paintings of the world be seen as immersive, captivating, even participatory experiences.
Ward does not deny the specific complexities and barriers associated with looking at art from other eras. Instead he offers readers a new formula to help illuminate this kind of art. His method not only provides the viewer with the tools to interpret a work of art, but also assumes that we hold some of this knowledge within ourselves already.
In other words, everyone can share the enriching experience of Old Master paintings.
Toulouse-Lautrec and the Stars of Paris
The stars and denizens of Toulouse-Lautrec's bohemian cabaret world
Toulouse-Lautrec and the Stars of Paris offers a guided tour of fin-de-siecle Paris at night, bringing a group of its legendary protagonists to life.
The six performers at the center of this book--Yvette Guilbert, Jane Avril, Aristide Bruant, Marcelle Lender, May Belfort and Loie Fuller--were all depicted by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and in some ways defined by his iconic renderings. Actors and actresses, comedians, cabaret singers and dancers, these figures were the stars of the new entertainments of 19th-century Paris.
This booming nightlife scene coincided with new developments in modern printmaking. Lautrec immortalized the performances and personas of the city's entertainers in colorful lithographs, elevating the advertising poster to the status of high art. Artist and performer collaborated to exploit a new culture of entertainment and mass media, creating a new kind of celebrity in the process.
Lavishly illustrated with high-quality, full-color reproductions of Lautrec's iconic images alongside some of his rarely seen sketches, and illuminated by insightful essays, this volume shines a spotlight on the stars of the Paris stage, the birth of modern celebrity culture and the brilliance of the artist who gave them enduring life.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) was the descendant of an old and distinguished aristocratic family from the south of France, but he found his true home in the bars and nightclubs of the Montmartre distinct in Paris. In a brief mature career of only 15 years (Lautrec died at age 36 from complications of alcoholism and syphilis), the artist was stunningly prolific, producing approximately 1,000 paintings and watercolors, nearly 5,000 drawings and more than 350 prints and posters.
Posledná večera Leonarda z Vinci
Autor knihy Stano Lajda je súčasný slovenský maliar stojaci na pomyselnej hranici figurálneho realizmu a surrealizmu či fantaskného umenia. Neusiluje sa priradiť k žiadnemu konkrétnemu prúdu a vytrvalo sa venuje figurálnej maľbe. Jeho tvorbu dlhé roky sprevádza fascinácia dielom velikánov dejín výtvarného umenia, najmä však odkazom geniálneho Leonarda da Vinci. Celoživotné skúmanie jeho Poslednej večere – praktické aj teoretické – ho priviedlo k vytvoreniu vernej rekonštrukcie tohoto diela.
Práve príbeh obrazu Poslednej večere prináša autor v knihe Leonardo. Je tak určená nielen milovníkom umenia, fanúšikom renesančného človeka a umelca da Vinciho, ale aj študentom umenia a odbornej verejnosti.
Edvard Munch: love and angst
Edvard Munch (1863-1944) is best known today as a painter, but his reputation was in fact established through his prints, which were central to his creative process. His printmaking was experimental and innovative, and he continually revisited the subjects of his paintings in striking prints, in which he evoked a wide range of emotion and mood through the use of varied techniques. Munch's early life in the industrial town of Kristiania (renamed Oslo in 1925) was marked by sickness and poverty.
His first works centred on the expression of deep emotional experiences, specifically the deaths of his mother and teenage sister when he was growing up, as well as passionate yet unhappy love affairs of which his deeply religious father disapproved. Encouraged by his encounters with a Bohemian society of artists, writers and poets, he developed a visual landscape that was a radical deviation from the slick society portraits and grand Scandinavian landscapes then so much in vogue. His efforts attracted considerable attention and much criticism, and he practised with little financial success as a painter for ten years before he started to gain his reputation as a profoundly innovative printmaker.
Written by a team of acknowledged experts, and with an interview by writer Karl Ove Knausgaard, this book will shed new light on the production of some of Munch's most remarkable works.
