Northern Lights
The Forest in modernist art
The fascination of the North is enduring: vast, impenetrable coniferous forests on the edge of the Arctic polar region, "white" summer nights, the long darkness of snowy winters and the famous Northern Lights exert a magical attraction. The Fondation Beyeler is dedicating an exhibition to this global phenomenon with landscape paintings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries from Scandinavia, Finland and Canada. In addition to works by famous painters such as Edvard Munch, Akseli Gallen-Kallela and Hilma af Klint, it also features paintings by artists who are highly respected in their home countries, but who-unjustly-have been virtually unknown in Central Europe until now. The Nordic pictorial worlds of Harald Sohlberg, Gustaf Fjaestad, Emily Carr, Tom Thomson and Prince Eugen of Sweden are finally being presented to a wide audience. Other artists represented in the exhibition and catalogue are Ivan Shishkin, Anna Boberg, Helmi Biese, Fanny Churberg, Lawren S. Harris and J. E. H. MacDonald.
Monet. The Bigger Picture
Monet's breathtaking artistry comes fully alive in this luxurious volume that features dozens of exquisite reproductions; forty- eight extra pages on six fold-out spreads; colored edges; and a printed canvas binding.
From early works depicting the forests at Fontainebleau and the beach at Sainte-Adresse, to his revolutionary water lily series, this gorgeous volume showcases Monet's mastery of light, color, and movement; his fluid and rhythmic brushstrokes; and his reverence for the natural world.
Thematically arranged, it features sixty impeccable reproductions, including foldout spreads of six essential masterpieces: Impression, Rising Sun; Woman with a Parasol; Bordighera; Venice, Palazzo Dario; Water Lily Pond; and Willows in the Morning.
This immersive volume is the next best thing to standing in an art gallery examining a Monet painting from different angles and distances. From luminous beach scenes and brilliant Mediterranean afternoons to captivating cityscapes and the restful beauty of Giverny, this book encapsulates the essence of Monet's groundbreaking style and enduring legacy.
Perfect for both seasoned art connoisseurs and those newly discovering the wonders of Impressionism, this volume will delight and inspire with every turn of its pages, making it an unforgettable gift for any lover of art and beauty.
The Four Seasons
This collection of woodblock prints celebrates the seasons and is designed as a Japanese-style accordion-fold book with open binding and slipcased with a booklet for the text.
Embracing seasonal change is an important part of Japan’s native belief system and an enduring theme of its creative expression. Japanese artists—including Hokusai, Hiroshige, Harunobu, and many others—have long celebrated the endless cycle and rhythm of nature and the fleeting transience and beauty of the seasons, depicting common customs from picnics welcoming spring under blossoming cherry trees to ritual offerings made to the autumnal harvest moon.
The seasonal iconography includes recurring plant and wildlife elements: plum blossoms, irises, morning glories, cranes, geese flying in migratory formation. Some pictorial compositions focus upon a single time of year, but many encompass all four seasons together.
This beautiful and elegant collection makes the ideal gift for anyone interested in the art and culture of Japan. The classic woodblocks in this collection express essential truths about the natural world and the evanescence of human experience in a visual idiom that, while distinctively Japanese, has great universal appeal.
Turner
In celebration of the 250th birthday of the English Romantic painter this opulent edition features stunning, accordion-fold, color reproductions of Turner's essential works, accompanied by a separate booklet providing descriptions and the background of each painting.
Boasting nearly fifty paintings and watercolors, this boxed set offers the essentials of J. M. W. Turner's work, along with as a booklet detailing the artist's life and accomplishments. Known as the painter of light and fires, Turner's revolutionary works transformed nature into a canvas of emotional intensity and sublime beauty.
This volume features stunning reproductions of masterpieces such as Hannibal Crossing the Alps; Vesuvius in Eruption; Rome from Mount Aventine; Castle on Height Near Geneva; and The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons. Full page and fold-out illustrations allow for a deep appreciation of Turner's vast, sweeping vistas, intricate details and textures, dynamic, complex compositions, and brilliant use of light and atmospheric effects.
The perfect gift for fans of Romantic art and of Turner himself, this elegant boxed set captures the drama and movement that have made his work both timeless and inspirational.
Temná kronika | Dunkelchronik
Obrazy Jaroslav Valečky jsou často inspirovány různými příběhy, které se vztahují ke krajině malířova dětství stráveného v českém pohraničí, zle zasaženého odsunem a sovětskou okupací. Většina obrazů je postavena na konkrétním příběhu, který je výtvarně zpracován. Některé příběhy jsou strašidelné, třeba když jako kluci na místním zcela zdevastovaném německém hřbitově marně hledali zlaté zuby a toužili ukrutně zbohatnout. Jiné jsou poetické, například když se nad Máchovým jezerem nečekaně objevila velmi silná polární záře, která ovšem nebyla přírodním jevem, ale hořícím palivem vypuštěným z vážně poškozené sovětské stíhačky přistávajícím na nedalekém letišti.
Jean-Michel Basquiat: Engadin
An exploration of Jean-Michel Basquiat's connection with Switzerland and the Engadin region, and its influence on his trailblazing work.
Though most often associated with New York, Jean-Michel Basquiat had a strong connection to Switzerland, which began in 1982 with his first exhibition at Galerie Bruno Bischofberger in Zurich. Throughout the 1980s, he returned several times, travelling to St. Moritz and the Engadin region.
This new book examines the artist's relationship with the country and is published on the occasion of the exhibition 'Basquiat Engadin' at Hauser & Wirth St. Moritz. It was in Switzerland that Basquiat, Andy Warhol, and Francesco Clemente began to work on their collaborations, marking a significant turning point in Basquiat's artistic practice.
Featuring an essay by curator Dr. Dieter Buchhart, this publication documents a unique body of work that captures the artist's impressions of the Swiss Alpine landscape and culture through the lens of his iconic visual language.
László Lakner
Obrazová publikace uceleně zpracovává, prezentuje a kontextualizuje malířskou tvorbu László Laknera jako jedné ze zásadních osobností středoevropského umění posledních padesáti let, přičemž navazuje na výstavu László Lakner. Infinitum konanou v Muzeu umění Olomouc v roce 2024.

Vydání je doplněno překladem vstupních studií a soupisů do anglického jazyka a barevnými fotografiemi děl umělce.
Jaroslav J. Králík
Ač malíř a grafik Jaroslav Králík (1924–1999) vládl osobitým a inovativním stylem, přesto jeho dílo doposud zůstává širší veřejnosti spíše neznámé. Symbolickou splátkou toho dluhu je výpravná publikace, kterou připravil umělcův syn a která je důstojným potvrzením pevného Králíkova postavení v rámci umění druhé poloviny 20. století. K jeho spolužákům z ateliéru Emila Filly patřili například Čestmír Kafka a sestry Válovy, přátelské vztahy později navázal s Františkem Tichým či Kamilem Lhotákem. Oblast jeho tvůrčího zájmu byla široká, od monumentálních realizací do architektury a veřejného prostoru (gobelíny, art protis, vitráže) až po intimní kresby, grafiky či koláže, v nichž zejména rozvíjel citace obrazů starých mistrů, nejčastěji Hieronyma Bosche, Matthiase Grünewalda, Pietera Bruegela, Albrechta Dürera, Piera della Francesco či Sandra Botticelliho, fascinovala jej též estetika rukopisného písma nebo tištěného textu. Králíkova originální výtvarná řeč s ozvuky metafyzické malby, surrealismu a symbolismu otevírá široký prostor pro hlubší kosmologické otázky i úvahy o okolním světě a roli člověka v něm.
Claude Monet
Claude Monet’s extensive work is revealed in numerous images. He was a painter who like no other moved perception to the center of his artistic activities. Nature became his own studio. This resulted in fascinating landscapes of different times and seasons in the mirror of wind and weather.
Rubens
This illustrated book provides an insight into all areas of creativity and all types of images that Peter Paul Rubens cultivated. In addition to his famous baroque monumental paintings, his sensitive drawings as well as his impressive portraits are described.
Jan Vermeer
Jan Vermeer was a Dutch artist who created paintings that are among the most beloved and revered images in the history of art.
Vermeer began his career in the early 1650s by painting large-scale biblical and mythological scenes, but most of his later paintings—the ones for which he is most famous—depict scenes of daily life in interior settings. These works are remarkable for their purity of light and form, qualities that convey a serene, timeless sense of dignity. Vermeer also painted cityscapes and allegorical scenes.
James Tissot
Jacques Joseph or James Tissot, lived a splendid life between Paris and London during the Belle Epoque. He cannot be assigned to either the English or the French tradition. The first name James - which he adopted in 1859 - and his years in London (1871-1882) made him an artist between both worlds. The difficulty of categorizing Tissot is also reflected in his work. A continuity between his glamorous social portraits and the biblical illustrations - between the dandy and the businessman, the "ingenious merchant", as the painter John Singer Sargent called him - is difficult to establish.
Gustave Courbet
Best known as an innovator in Realism, Courbet was a painter of figurative compositions, landscapes and seascapes. He also worked with social issues, and addressed peasantry and the grave working conditions of the poor. His work belonged neither to the predominant Romantic nor Neoclassical schools. Courbet believed the Realist artist's mission was the pursuit of truth.
Arcimboldo
Amusement, astonishment, irritation, even indignation: the composite heads of Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1526/7-1593) may prompt a whole range of emotions, but no one can remain indifferent to them. Combining the impact of surprise with the aesthetics of the bizarre, his art - reflecting the religious and political upheavals that shook Europe in the second half of the sixteenth century - invites ambivalent responses. For Arcimboldo, aesthetics took precedence over reality, and invenzione was more important than being true to life. A master in the art of sensory deception and an artist of virtuoso technical and conceptual skills, he created an oeuvre whose fascination is as much visual as intellectual.
Ingres
Despite an admiration for his mentors that never wavered, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780-1867) forged his own unique style, a combination of virtuoso realism and strange distortions that was to make him one of the greatest painters of his century. Both highly praised and heavily criticized, this pupil of David and lover of the italian Renaissance, classical art and ideal beauty, was hugely admired as the saviour of traditional painting from the vagaries of the Romantics. But his work's fascination lay in his portraits and odalisques rather than his history paintings, and it is these that inspired some of the most avant-garde artists of t twentieth century.
Hokusai's Method
An omnibus edition collecting 15 volumes of Hokusai’s dedicated drawing manuals, ‘e-tehon’. Of the 300 or so printed books Hokusai created in his lifetime, a huge proportion of these were dedicated drawing manuals, known as e-tehon (drawing models). They show not only Hokusai’s great proficiency as a draughtsman, but also his wealth of ideas, and his sense of humour.
This omnibus edition collects 15 volumes of Hokusai's e-tehon, which feature over 800 illustrations of instructions from 1812 to 1848. With every page faithfully reproduced against the original works, the book shows Hokusai's playful approach to drawing with amusing songs, pictures comprised of letterforms (a forerunner to today’s emoji), modern designs for craftsmen, and, yes, dance moves. This all-encompassing endeavour also includes a valuable work that he published just before his death.
This was his magnum opus, serving to 'preserve everything I’ve learned'. Note to Readers The pages in this volume are ordered according to the Japanese system. Please turn to the back of the book to begin reading.
