Charlotte Salomon. Life or Theatre
When German artist Charlotte Salomon (1917–1943) handed her gouache series Life? or Theater? over to a friend, she beseeched him to “take good care of it, it is my entire life.” A few months later, the five-months pregnant Charlotte was picked up by a Gestapo truck, deported to Drancy, and then on to Auschwitz, where she died upon arrival at the age 26.
The work Salomon left behind is, in a very real sense, her piece de résistance – in her own words, “something wildly eccentric.” A cycle of nearly 1,300 autobiographical gouaches, it combines creative force with pioneering personal narrative into one shattering document of self-expression.
Divided into three sections, the gouaches unveil a vivid self-portrait spanning across all facets of Charlotte's existence: from a complicated family life, marked by the suicides of nearly all female relatives; growing up in Berlin; her close relation to singing teacher Alfred Wolfsohn; the rise of the Nazis; to her exile to France in 1939. Throughout, the artist challenges these destructive forces by deploying playful pseudonyms and fantastical elements alongside emotional candor, remarkable observation, and a meticulous visual memory. Her film strip-like sequences are interspersed not only with words but also musical suggestions, making Life? or Theater? the storybook for a whole musical, years before the heyday of that genre.
Without comparison, the gouaches are a triumph of personal truth and individual expression. Published here with a selection of the 450 most important pieces, Life? Or Theatre? is an unrivaled opus magnum from a great and ambitious artist, dark with her early death, but luminous with her precision, her lyricism, and her courage.
Jasper Johns
Jasper Johns is one of the most important artists of our time. This book offers the first comprehensive study of his art since 1980, a period in which the artist has made some of his most moving and challenging work. Looking primarily at Johns’s paintings and works on paper, and drawing on conversations with the artist, Fiona Donovan provides the context for this later work and explores its visual and iconographic complexity. In the years 1980–2015, Johns’s imagery ranged from investigations of his own earlier subject matter and personal history to a much broader humanist discourse. Spiritual, moral and sexual themes run through his work, as well as ruminations on memory and mortality. Donovan also examines associations between poetry and Johns’s art as well as the artist’s absorption with appropriation and abstraction of images taken from such diverse sources as Grünewald’s Isenheim Altarpiece, Cézanne, Picasso, and the Vietnam War photographer Larry Burrows.
Johns’s abiding curiosity is reflected in his stylistic changes, and the shifting themes, motifs and moods of his work are all underpinned by his exceptional painterly skill and interest in process, as demonstrated in the magisterial works presented here, from ‘The Seasons’ and the ‘Catenary’ paintings to the more recent series, ‘Regrets’.
Jasper Johns: Pictures within Pictures provides a unique opportunity to view and further understand the compellingly beautiful and intriguing works by an artist who continues to be at the forefront of American art.

Lacná kniha Dali, The Wines of Gala (-25%)
Hot on the heels (or lobster claws) of the best-selling Salvador Dalí phenomenon, Les dîners de Gala, TASCHEN presents the artist’s equally surreal and sensual viticulture follow-up: The Wines of Gala. A Dalínian take on pleasures of the grape and a coveted collectible, the book sets out to organize wines “according to the sensations they create in our very depths.” Through eclectic metrics like production method, weight, and color, the book presents wines of the world in such innovative, Dalíesque groupings as “Wines of Frivolity,” “Wines of the Impossible,” and “Wines of Light.”
Bursting with imagery, the book features more than 140 illustrations by Dalí. Many of these are appropriated artworks, including various classical nudes, all of them reconstructed with suitably Surrealist, provocative touches, like Jean-François Millet’s The Angelus, one of Dalí’s favorite points of reference over the decades. Dalí also included what is now considered one of the greatest works from his late “Nuclear Mystic” phase, The Sacrament of the Last Supper (1955), which sets the iconic biblical scene in a translucent dodecahedron-shaped space before a Catalonian coastal landscape. Dalí was by this stage a devout Catholic, simultaneously captivated by science, optical illusion, and the atomic age.
The first section is dedicated to “Ten Divine Dalí Wines,” an overview of 10 important wine-growing regions, while the second develops Dalí’s revolutionary ordering of wine by emotional experience, instead of by geography or variety. Rather than any prescriptive classification, it’s a flamboyant, free-flowing manifesto in favor of taste and feeling, as much a multisensory treat as a full-bodied document of Dalí’s late-stage oeuvre, in which the artist both reflected on formative influences and refined his own cultural legacy.

Renoir
The joy that permeates Renoir’s paintings was created by a complicated person. Even close friends and family members were often baffled by the multi-faceted and contradictory artist. Having known Renoir for over twenty years, Camille Pissarro complained in a letter to his son Lucien: ‘Nor can I understand Renoir’s mind – but who can fathom the most changeable of men?’
Here, the world’s leading authority on the life and work of Auguste Renoir presents an intimate biography of this great Impressionist artist. Her narrative is interspersed with over a thousand extracts from letters by, to, and about Renoir, of which 452 come from unpublished letters. Through these words, the reader gains direct contact with Renoir, as an artist, friend and father. Renoir became hugely popular despite great obstacles: thirty years of poverty followed by thirty years of progressive paralysis of his fingers. Close friendships with scores of people who helped him with money, contacts and companionship enabled him to overcome these challenges to create more than 4,000 optimistic, life-affirming paintings. Barbara Ehrlich White brings a lifetime of research to bear in her biography to provide an unparalleled and intimate portrait of this complex artist.

Motion Graphics
Motion graphics -- a digital technique that combines the language of traditional graphic design with the creative visual language of film and animation -- has become a fast growing area within the practice of graphic design. With the function of storytelling, it evokes a strong emotion and creates a connection between the message and the watcher.
Futurism
Inspired by the development of Cubism, the Futurist movement was founded in 1909 by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, along with painters Giacomo Balla. Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carra, and Gino Severini. The school, which celebrated technology and the mechanical era, was comprised of painters, sculptors, designers, architects, and writers. Motion and machines were two main themes of this movement, which attacked the bastions of establishment and sparked controversy by its glorification of war and support of Fascism. Experimenting with movement, and speed, and abstract light and color, the Futurists developed approaches and techniques that were revolutionary at the time, and in retrospect one can see that the Futurists influenced other avant-garde art movements, most notably Russian Constructivism. Artists featured: Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Anton Giulio Bragaglia, Carlo Carra, Tullio Crali, Fortunato Depero, Gerardo Dottori, Leonardo Dudreville, Virgilio Marchi, F.T. Marinetti, Enrico Prampolini, Luigi Russolo, Antonio Sant'Elia, Gino Severini. Mario Sironi, Ardengo Soffici.
Josef Žáček - Anticorps
Tvorba malíře Josefa Žáčka má hluboce sociální a politický kontext. V současnosti kriticky reaguje na skryté i otevřené manipulace masmédií, otázku terorismu a na situaci vyvolanou uprchlickou krizí v Evropě.
V publikaci ANTICORPS mimo jine umělec ukazuje svět jako každodenní mechanismus lidského konání, stereotypů, standardních úkonů.
Krásný sloh a Jižní Tyroly
Vztah nástěnné a deskové malby Jižních Tyrol k malbě krásnoslohé, zvláště bohemikální, je téma v literatuře mnohokrát zmiňované, dosud však nepodrobené pečlivé analýze. Ne zcela vyjasněný zůstává i původ krásnoslohých motivů ve sledované oblasti. Kromě Prahy a odtud odcházejících umělců mohla iniciační úlohu sehrát i jiná středoevropská centra, zejména Salzburg, Vídeň či jižní Německo. Kniha je členěna do šesti hlavních kapitol. Po nastínění tématu se čtenář ve stručnosti seznamuje s politickými dějinami oblasti a jejich vztahem k zemím Koruny české. Další tři kapitoly jsou věnovány nástěnné malbě, rozdělené podle místních škol a dílen. První z nich představuje dílo mistra Václava, v pramenech označovaného mimo jiné jako „Watzlab Kunstl von Behm“, jenž s jistotou prošel školením v Čechách. Další kapitola je věnována tzv. bolzanské škole. Třetí část se zabývá nástěnnými malbami spojovanými s malíři z Brunecku (tzv. brixenská škola). Poslední kapitola je věnována deskovým obrazům relevantních pro dané téma.
Odkaz v znaku svetla
Publikácia mapuje umelecký vývoj aj životný príbeh Márie Evy Trajterovej od ranných prác po súčasné realizácie. Má sedem kapitol, ktoré vždy predznamenáva autorská báseň k danej téme a výrez svetelného objektu, ktorý je v skutočnosti realizovaný v kove. Každá kapitola je tématickou ukážkou z tvorby: portréty, figurálne kompozície, tapisérie, maľby, publikácie, kresby, svetelné objekty.
Celou knihou prebieha chronologický odborný text PhDr. Kláry Kubíkovej a tiež texty súvisiace s jednotlivými životnými obdobiami od akad. mal. Milana Laluhu, PhDr. Ireny Pišútovej, Márie Horváthovej a riaditeľa Slovenskej knižnice pre nevidiacich Františka Hasaja. Vyvrcholenie tvorby súvisí práve s tvorbou, ktorá vytvára most medzi vidiacimi a nevidiacimi. Tak ako to zachytáva kalendárium. Úvod, záver aj názvy kapitol publikácie sú tiež v anglickom jazyku.
Kniha je viazaná v tvrdej väzbe, s výrezov na obale, ktorý je znakom rodiny, alebo štylizovaným reťazením špirály D.N.A. čo na zadnej strane obalu potvrdzuje ukážka maľby - Rodina.
The Line - An Adventure into the Unknown
A deceptively simple adventure into the unknown using only paper, a pencil and a single line
Wreck This Journal had a simple premise: destroy the book in all the ways you can imagine.
The Line is even simpler: find pencil, start a line.
As you move through the pages of Keri Smith's newest book, you'll be asked to let your line meander, explore the book's gutter, and jump around the edges of the pages. You'll hide your line, cut your line and even let someone else take over your line for a bit. The farther you get into the book, however, the more you'll discover that maybe things aren't as simple as they first seemed. The line has a mind of its own, and it's up to you to discover what's at the end of the line (hint: it's just the beginning).
What is Painting
At the turn of the twenty-first century, many felt sceptical or confused about painting’s on-going cultural relevance. In this context, Julian Bell’s What is Painting? provided an accessible and inspired account of artistic thinking and practice, and of the complexities then facing artists and their audiences. Eighteen years on, the situation is partly reversed. Painting has proved too resilient a practice to be marginalized any longer. Yet is there any sense of forward momentum for the art? Interrogating the factors that have changed our ideas of painting over the past two centuries, Bell addresses relations between figuration and abstraction and between narrative and non-narrative painting, as well as the waning of conceptual art’s dominance and the proliferation of experiments with the physical limits of painting. He also clarifies general concepts such as ‘expression’ and ‘representation’.
Fully revised to provide a fresh look at the situation of painting, this new edition maintains the objective of lucid, historically informative explanation that earned the original edition its status as a text of lasting value. The book provides a general reader’s introduction to theories of painting that is not only reliable, but also stimulating and amusing to read.

Rozmanitosti kresby
Publikace „Rozmanitosti kresby“ představuje formou katalogu a úvodních kapitol nejdůležitější kresby Italských mistrů vrcholného a pozdního baroka, které jsou uloženy ve veřejných sbírkách v České republice, především v Národní galerii v Praze, Moravské galerii v Brně nebo Památníku národního písemnictví v Praze. Publikace je rozčleněna na jednotlivé kapitoly, v níž je kresba italských mistrů seřazena podle její stylové, funkční i žánrové mnohovrstevnatosti, jak bylo typické pro 17. a 18. století. A tak obsahuje studie figur, návrhy kompozice, dekorativní návrhy, návrhy pro divadelní scénu, krajiny, podobizny nebo žánr. Zohledňuje také náboženské, světské, mytologické a alegorické náměty.
Z hloubi duše
Záměrem autorky knihy Z hloubi duše je zveřejnění výpovědi o otevírání cest k výtvarnému projevu tvůrců trpících duševní poruchou nebo nemocí. Nešlo jí o hledání patologických znaků v kresbách psychotiků, v jejich malbách nebo v jiných vizuálních projevech za účelem diagnostikování. Autorka se zajímá o způsoby výtvarného „vyprávění“ vlastních příběhů lidí, kteří se ocitli v životní krizi zapříčiněné selháním psychiky. Stejně jako v umělecké sféře, i v tvorbě psychotiků stojí za každým dílem jedinečná lidská osobnost. Avšak zatímco umělec tvoří z vlastního popudu, cestu k vyjádření klientů psychiatrických léčeben je třeba nalézat společně s terapeutem nebo zdravotním pracovníkem. Odborný text v knize je proložen osobními poznámkami studentek a studentů, kteří spolu s autorkou knihy motivovali zhruba v období let 2015–2016 pacienty Psychiatrické nemocnice v Brně – Černovicích ke specifickým výtvarným výpovědím. Výtvory pacientů tak přesáhly běžný rámec terapeutických etud a je možno je vnímat jako pozoruhodná svědectví o jejich předchozím životě. Bohatá fotodokumentace doprovázející texty pochází také převážně z tohoto období.
Drawing Masterclass

Lacná kniha Syzýgia (-25%)
V zvláštnej kultúrnej situácii, keď sa v 2. polovici 80. rokov 20. storočia synchronizovali nesúrodé a konfliktné hnutia, bola SYZÝGIA veľmi špecifickou skupinou. Astronomický význam jej názvu - spoločný termín pre opačné javy, konjukciu a opozíciu - metaforicky charakterizoval kultúrnu situáciu v čase konfliktu postmoderny s jej modernistickým a disidentským pozadím na domácej scéne. Názov odrážal aj neobvyklé generačné spojenie štyroch mladých umelcov, ešte študentov - Gabriela Hošovského, Martina Knuta, Miloša Nováka a neskôr aj Pavla Pochylého - a Rudolfa Sikoru, ktorý spolu so Stanom Filkom a Júliusom Kollerom patril na prelome 60. a 70. rokov k predstaviteľom konceptuálneho umenia a vizuálnej kozmológie. Z dnešného pohľadu ukazuje SYZÝGIA zložitosť a rozpory postmoderného hnutia oproti tomu, čo sa spočiatku javilo a riešilo ako jednoduchá polarita tzv. neoavantgardy a postmoderny.
