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.

Dívka s holubicí a sochy domů
Sochy domů a dívka s holubicí. Tak se jmenuje unikátní sochařský projekt českého umělce Krištofa Kintery, který můžete vidět v parku Holubička na Klárově, přímo naproti Kunsthalle Praha. Právě společně s novým pražským prostorem pro umění vydáváme Kinterovu knihu Dívka s holubicí a sochy domů. Fotograficky výpravná publikace na bezmála tří set stranách důsledně mapuje vznik pětatřiceti tunového mikroměsta z betonu & oceli, které vzdává hold odvážné, veřejností ovšem často zatracované architektuře československé minulosti.
Proslulý Obchodní dům Kotva manželů Machoninových (1970-75), zmizelý Hotel Praha (1971-1981), kosmická Žižkovská věž Václava Aulického (1985-1992), válkou zasažený Emauzský klášter (1963-68), Mordor neboli Ústřední telekomunikační budova Žižkov (1972-79), dále utopické Kosířské superstruktury (1973-74) či bunkrovitá Státní banka československá (1977-1992) v jedinečném podání Karla Pragera. A nakonec, nad všemi sedmi objekty bdící, nezdolná Dívka s holubicí sochaře Václava Šimka z roku 1958.
S knihou Krištofa Kintery, skrze fotografie Martina Poláka, Lukáše Procházky, Matouše Pudila či Vojtěcha Veškrny a Richarda Wiesnera, nahlédnete do nitra brutalistního světa — od prapůvodních plánů a rešerší přes náročnou výrobu těžkotonážních modelů až po finální jeřábové usazení v ekosystému malého parčíku. O padnoucí, maximalistické grafické provedení knihy se postaral Kryštof Doležal a krom textů historika Koryčánka v knize najdete i velký rozhovor mezi Kinterou a Christelle Havranek, hlavní kurátorkou Kunsthalle Praha.
„Kouzlo spočívá ve změně měřítek. Co bylo obrovské, je najednou malé. Architekturu odhalujeme ve zcela jiné perspektivě, budovu lépe vnímáme jako celek. Přesně to nám Kinterova socha-model umožňuje.“ — Rostislav Koryčánek, historik umění a kurátor, autor textů v knize.
„Při tvorbě soch jsme vycházeli z budov samotných, ale i z jejich plánů a modelů. Ty tehdy většinou ručně vytvářeli sami architekti v podobě až takové minimalistické reduktivní architektury. Jakmile je porovnáš s těmi našimi návrhy, vzniká ti zajímavá vizuální konfrontace. Tahle kniha je nejlepší možný způsob, jak tuhle paralelu myšlení názorně ukázat a jak ty jednotlivé domy odhalit tak, aby byly kompletně nahé. Odhalené až na kost je totiž vidíš jen když se staví nebo až když se bohužel bourají.“ — Krištof Kintera, umělec, autor instalace a konceptu knihy.
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".
Hana Purkrábková: Ze života
Katalog k výstavě Hany Purkrábkové v Museu Kampa představující její osobitou tvorbu, v níž se propojuje naivizující realismus zobrazení se smyslem pro ironii a absurditu banálních situací. „Sochařka a keramička Hana Purkrábková (1936–2019) patří do generace šedesátých let minulého století. Společně s tvorbou užité keramiky se věnovala keramické figurální plastice. Zprvu v komorním provedení, jež od osmdesátých let, kdy získala na práci větší prostor, proměnila v rozměrnější vyjádření. Ve středu jejího umění od počátku stál život člověka a jeho prostředí, do něhož zahrnovala život psů a koček, které měla ve své blízkosti. Z důvěrného poznávání a porozumění obou těchto světů také dokázala ve své tvorbě vytěžit výmluvné analogie. V citlivé, spontánní modelaci plastik, prováděné s nebývalou přirozeností v poddajném materiálu keramické hlíny, ji vedly pozorovatelský talent a výborná obrazová paměť. S laskavým humorem a šibalskou ironií dokázala ze zachycených postřehů lidského chování vytěžit trefné záznamy zaměřené na nestřežená gesta a banální situace. Zhmotňovala jimi úsměvné lidské slabosti a pokleslosti, ale i duševní prázdnotu a výrazy lstivosti, záludnosti, zlomyslnosti a útočné agresivity. Myšlenkami, které do svých figur a bizarních tvorů Hana Purkrábková vtělovala, nás nejednou také vede k zamyšlení i nad námi samotnými; k zamyšlení o našem životě a současném světě. Její umění je v tomto ohledu ucelené a ve svém tvůrčím pojetí nebývale sourodé. Z bezprostřednosti vidění vycházel i sochařčin způsob zpracování výtvarné formy nejednou založený na modelačních „hrnčířských“ principech. Užívala je ke stavbě těl zvnitřku navenek – k vyjádření nakynuté tělesnosti, kterou pointovala přesvědčivým detailem nebo barvou. Živým pramenem jejího osobitého umění se stal smysl pro humor a vrozené humánní a sociální cítění. Ostatně i ty jsou patrné z jejích velkoformátových kreseb a pracovních skic, které jsou nedílnou součástí přítomné výstavy.“ Mahulena Nešlehová

Hiroshige. One Hundred Famous Views of Edo
Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) was one of the last great artists in the ukiyo-e tradition. Literally meaning “pictures of the floating world,” ukiyo-e was a particular genre of art that flourished between the 17th and 19th centuries and came to characterize the Western world’s visual idea of Japan. In many ways images of hedonism, ukiyo-e scenes often represented the bright lights and attractions of Edo (modern-day Tokyo): beautiful women, actors and wrestlers, city life, and spectacular landscapes.
Though he captured a variety of subjects, Hiroshige was most famous for landscapes, with a final masterpiece series known as “One Hundred Famous Views of Edo” (1856–1858), which depicted various scenes of the city through the seasons, from bustling shopping streets to splendid cherry orchards.
This reprint, bound in the traditional Japanese fashion, is made from one of the finest complete original sets of woodblock prints belonging to the Ota Memorial Museum of Art in Tokyo. It pairs each of the 120 illustrations with a description, allowing readers to immerse themselves in these beautiful, vibrant vistas that became paradigms of Japonisme and inspired Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and Art Nouveau artists alike, from Vincent van Gogh to James McNeill Whistler.
Monet/Rothko
This comparison of the works of Monet and Rothko provides exhilarating new insight on these pioneers of abstraction and masters of color.
Recent research on late impressionism has highlighted the surprising correspondences between the work of impressionist paragon Claude Monet and that of abstract painters such as Mark Rothko.
This book offers an unprecedented dialogue between the paintings of Monet and Rothko, two artists who explored the frontiers of abstraction. It explores the uncanny similarities between their works, painted almost half a century apart, as well as the significance of the differences between the master artists’ styles. Monet conveyed the immediacy of his impressions of nature, while Rothko plunged the viewer into the depths of colors that he superimposed and interwove.
And yet this book—originally conceived to accompany an exhibition at the Musée des Impressionnismes Giverny and illustrated with sixty chromatically organized reproductions—reveals an undeniable relationship between their pictorial universes, challenging the viewer’s perception of abstraction and modernity. This confrontation, contextualized through the analysis of renowned critics, sheds new light on the oeuvre of two of the greatest masters of painting and offers fresh insight into the essence of what makes their works so inherently original.
Bob Dylan
A six-decade survey of Dylan's work in painting, drawing and sculpture
Spanning six decades, Retrospectrum showcases the development and range of Bob Dylan's (born 1941) visual art in an array of mediums. His diverse creations include works made in oil, acrylic, watercolor, ink, pastel, charcoal and sculpture in iron. Among the artworks presented in Retrospectrum are some of Dylan's earliest ink sketches, first published in 1973's Writings and Drawings, which illustrated and compiled Dylan's lyrics up to that date. These are shown alongside 2021's Mondo Scripto series, in which Dylan revisited some of his most renowned lyrics, hand-lettering and illustrating them. The book also features the iconic Train Tracks series; The New Orleans Series and The Asia Series (from 2012 and 2010 respectively), inspired by Dylan's travels; works from his hugely popular The Beaten Path series (2015-present); and his iron sculptures created from found objects.
Mad about Painting
Best known for his iconic print Under the Wave off Kanagawa, also known as the Great Wave, Katsushika Hokusai was a revolutionary printmaker. His mastery of ukiyo-e in the nineteenth century has inspired generations of artists since, and his works exposed the world to the delicate beauty and power of Japanese woodblock technique. In addition to his remarkable artistic output, Hokusai was also a dedicated teacher who sought to pass down his deep understanding of color and painting to practicing artists through immensely detailed written tutorials.
Here, for the first time in centuries, are excerpts from his manuals, many available for the first time in English. It is an invaluable insight into the psyche of a true master, and a rare personal account of an artist's life during a fascinating period in Japan's history. Connecting Hokusai's prints from the Edo period to manga, author Ryoko Matsuba foregrounds Hokusai's contributions to Japanese creative expression from the 1800s to today.
Also included in this book: Vincent Van Gogh's letter about Hokusai's Great Wave and the contemporary artist Ikeda Manabu's concise observations about Hokusai's lasting influence.
Milton Glaser, POP
An overview of the work of illustrator and designer Milton Glaser during the 1960s and 70s From 1954, when he co-founded the legendary Push Pin Studios, to the late '70s, Milton Glaser was one of the most celebrated graphic designers of his day, whose work graced countless book and album covers, posters, magazine covers, and advertisements, both famous and little-known. Glaser largely defined the international visual style for illustration, advertising, and typeface design and interest in his legacy continues unabated, with modern creatives acknowledging his influence; for example, in 2014 Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner enlisted Glaser to design the ad campaign and branding for the show's final season. His renowned work garnered solo exhibitions at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Creator of the iconic 'I love NY' logo (featuring a heart symbol in place of the word 'love') and cofounder of New York magazine, Glaser received numerous accolades and lifetime achievement awards. Across thousands of works across all print media, he invented a graphic language of bright, flat color, drawing and collage, imbued with wit. This collection of work from Glaser's Pop period features hundreds of examples of his design that have not been seen since their original publication, demonstrating the graphic revolution that transformed design and popular culture.
Georgia O'Keeffe: To See Takes Time
A revelatory new volume on the American modernist's lesser-known works on paper, reuniting many serial works for the first time
Recalling a charcoal she made in 1916, Georgia O'Keeffe later wrote, "I have made this drawing several times--never remembering that I had made it before--and not knowing where the idea came from." These drawings, and the majority of O'Keeffe's works in charcoal, watercolor, pastel and graphite, belong to series in which she develops and transforms motifs that lie between observation and abstraction. In the formative years of 1915 to 1918, she made as many works on paper as she would in the next 40 years, producing sequences in watercolor of abstract lines, organic landscapes and nudes, along with charcoal drawings she would group according to the designation "specials." While her practice turned increasingly toward canvas in subsequent decades, important series on paper reappeared--including charcoal flowers of the 1930s, portraits of the 1940s and aerial views of the 1950s.
Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, this richly illustrated volume highlights the drawings of an artist better known as a painter, and reunites individual sheets with their contextual series to illuminate O'Keeffe's persistently sequential practice.
Born in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) first received critical attention when her breakthrough charcoal drawings were exhibited in New York in 1916. Two years later, she moved to the city to work full time on her art. Beginning in 1929, O'Keeffe spent summers in New Mexico, where she would relocate in 1949. The most famous female artist of her age, she thought of herself not as "the best woman painter" but as "one of the best painters."
Gauguin
Hailed as one of the most significant figures of early Modernism and at the same time condemned for his work and his morals – the discussion about Gauguin, his art and his character is still relevant today. Especially at a time where #MeToo is shedding new light on Gauguin’s relationship with adolescent girls and his share in colonialism in French Polynesia.
Gauguin – The Master, the Monster and the Myth is the first in-depth biography about the artist written by a Danish writer. The publication shares new insights about Gauguin – about his complex character as an artist and a human being. It challenges the traditional ideas we have about his life and work. Flemming Friborg unfolds the fascinating story about Gauguin’s life and the millieu of Impressionism that he was a part of but also at the same time distinguishing himself from. The book shows how his method and moral was bound in a carefully maintained, personal brand and therefore the master and the monster must be seen as inseparable – and therefore, as a result of this, Gaugain’s legacy and status as a genius artist remains unclear.
Cirque maçonnique
Dárková publikace renomovaného českého kreslíře a karikaturisty Jiřího Slívy přináší na 80 stranách ucelený soubor grafik a ilustrací na specifické téma „století českého svobodného zednářství“. Kolekce obsahuje kresby i barevné reprodukce nejnovějších grafik, kolorovaných kreseb a vícebarevných litografií na zednářské téma. Slívův kreslený humor hovoří i beze slov univerzálním jazykem, přesto jsou textové části knihy (úvodní slovo velmistra i životopis autora) přeloženy do anglického jazyka. Kniha s mírně ironickou nadsázkou poodhaluje jindy skrytý svět zednářů a jejich tajemných symbolů.
Funk You Too!
The first book to connect the history of Funk Art to contemporary ceramic practice.
Funk You Too! arrives at a moment when clay has unprecedented currency in the art world as a sculptural medium. It is the first book to connect the history of Funk Art to contemporary ceramic practice through an exploration of the enduring role of humor in clay image-making. The founding generation of Funk artists used forms of subversion to deflate the power of the aesthetic hierarchy that dismissed ceramics as hobby art. Today, in the hands of a younger, more diverse cohort, the irreverent approach is a powerful tool of critique and personal expression and the “spoonful of sugar” to help discuss sociopolitical concerns of our time.
Showcasing over fifty works from a 2023 exhibition at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City, this catalog addresses the historical context for the emergence of ceramic sculpture in 1960s Funk Art and applies a critical lens to work by its contemporary successors. The exhibition’s curator, Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy, conceptually frames the exhibition’s emphasis on humor as a tool for tackling personal and political themes. Garth Johnson contributes an essay on the impulse for humor in American ceramics that lead to Funk ceramics. The catalog also features biographies of the artists, color images, and a select bibliography.
