Hogarth: Life in Progress
On a late spring night in 1732, a boisterous group of friends set out from their local pub. They are beginning a journey, a 'peregrination' that will take them through the gritty streets of Georgian London and along the River Thames as far as the Isle of Sheppey. And among them is an up-and-coming engraver and painter, just beginning to make a name for himself: William Hogarth.
Hogarth's vision, to a vast degree, still defines the eighteenth century. In this, the first biography for over twenty years, Jacqueline Riding brings him to vivid life, immersing us in the world he inhabited and from which he drew inspiration. At the same time, she introduces us to an artist who was far bolder and more various than we give him credit for: an ambitious self-made man, a devoted husband, a sensitive portraitist, an unmatched storyteller, philanthropist, technical innovator and author of a seminal work of art theory.
Following in his own footsteps from humble beginnings to professional triumph (and occasional disaster), Hogarth illuminates the work and life of a great artist who embraced the highest principles even while charting humanity's lowest vices.
Cranach
Around 1500, Lucas Cranach the Elder steps onto the world stage - in Vienna. The publication explores this, the artist's earliest period of work and presents all the paintings he produced during this time, their expressiveness radically different from the courtly-elegant compositions he subsequently produced as court painter in Wittenberg.
Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553) produced his earliest works around 1500 in Vienna, shortly before moving to Wittenberg to become court painter to the Elector of Saxony. These brilliant paintings, drawings, and woodcuts document both the thirty-year-old's close contacts with the humanist circles of Konrad Celtis and Johannes Cuspinian, and identify him as a precursor of the so-called Danube School.
20th Century Indian Art
A landmark volume presenting the history of Indian art across the subcontinent and South Asia from the late 19th century to the present day, published in association with Art Alive.
Recent decades have seen significant growth in the interest, acquisition and exhibition of modern Indian and South Asian art and artists by major international museums. This essential textbook, primarily aimed at students, presents an engaging, informative history of modern art from the subcontinent as seen through the eyes of prominent Indian academics.
Illustrated throughout with strong narrative content, key experts contribute multiple perspectives on modernism, modernity and plurality, and expansive ideas about contemporary art practices. A range of subjects and topics feature including Group 1890, the Madras Art Movement, Regional Modern and Dalit art, as well as artists such as Amrita Sher-Gil and Raqs Media Collective. This book also has sections devoted to the art of Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and other parts of South Asia.
Together with lively academic discussions and a selection of absorbing interviews with artists, this title meets a clear demand for a comprehensive and authoritative sourcebook on modern, postmodern and contemporary Indian art. It is the definitive reference for anyone with an interest in Indian art and non-Western art histories.

O sochách a sochařích
V souboru studií sleduje P. Wittlich příběh evropského moderního sochařství: ukazuje váhu jeho vzorů, zápas o nové pojetí prostoru, význam světelné režie sochy a nuance tvůrčího procesu, zakotveného již v přípravě soch. Pozornost věnuje klíčové osobností tohoto vývoje A. Rodinovi i předním představitelům českého sochařství (F. Bílkovi, L. Šalounovi, B. Kafkovi, J. Štursovi, O. Gutfreundovi), zamýšlí se nad tvorbou E. A. Bourdella a A. Maillola, trasuje sochařský ohlas avantgardy u J. Lipchitze a H. Moora. Své pohledy na transformace moderního sochařství uzavírá výkladem Giacomettiho a nástupu amerického sochařství v 60. letech 20. století.

Dali
The third edition of this classic study, a thorough introduction to one of the most popular and recognizable artists of the 20th century.
Salvador Dali was, and remains, among the most universally recognizable artists of the twentieth century. What accounts for this popularity? His excellence as an artist? Or his genius as a self-publicist? In this searching text, partly based on interviews with the artist and fully revised, extended and updated for this edition, Dawn Ades considers the Dali phenomenon. From his early years, his artistic friendships and the development of his technique and style, to his relationship with the Surrealists and exploitation of Freudian ideas, and on to his post-war paintings, this essential study places Dali in social, historical and artistic context, and casts new light on the full range of his creativity.
Mary Cassatt
The definitive introduction to the artist Mary Cassatt, placing her work in the wider context of 19th-century feminism and art theory.
A close ally of Camille Pissarro, Berthe Morisot and Edgar Degas, Mary Cassatt was the only American painter at the heart of the Impressionist group in Paris. Highly respected on both sides of the Atlantic, Cassatt was a forthright advocate for women's intellectual, creative and political emancipation. She brought her discerning gaze and compositional inventiveness across many media to the subtle social interactions of women in public and private spaces, such as at the theatre, and in moments of intimacy with children, where she was one of the most attentive and unsentimental analysts of the infant body and the child's emerging personality.
Tracing key moments in Cassatt's long career, art historian Griselda Pollock highlights Cassatt's extensive artistic training across Europe, analysing her profound study of Old Masters while revealing her intelligent understanding of both Manet and Courbet. Pollock also provides close readings of Cassatt's paintings and her singular vision of women in modernity. Now revised with a new preface, updates to the bibliography and colour illustrations throughout, this book offers a rich perspective on the core concerns of a major Impressionist artist through the frames of class, gender, space and difference.
Caribbean Art
A new, updated and expanded edition of this classic survey on the history of Caribbean art, featuring the work of over 100 artists from the period of colonialism to the present day.
Caribbean Art presents and discusses the diverse, fascinating and highly accomplished work of Caribbean artists, whether indigenous or from the diaspora, popular or 'high' culture, rural or urban based, politically radical or religious. This expanded edition has a new preface, and has been updated to reflect on recent challenges to the ideological premises and institutions of conventional art-historical practice and their connections to histories of colonialism, Eurocentricity and race. Two new chapters focus on public monuments linked to the history of the Caribbean, and the intersections between art and tourism, raising important questions about cultural representation.
Featuring the work of internationally recognized artists such as Sonia Boyce, Christopher Cozier, Wifredo Lam, Ana Mendieta, Ebony G. Patterson, Herve Telemaque, and more than 100 others working across a variety of media, this new edition makes an important contribution to the understanding of Caribbean art and its context, in ways that invite and encourage further explorations on the subject.

A Life of Picasso Volume IV
The beautifully illustrated, long-awaited final volume of John Richardson's magisterial Life of Picasso, drawing on original research from interviews and never-before-seen material in the Picasso family archives.
The Minotaur Years opens in 1933 with a visit by the Hungarian-French photographer Brassai to Picasso's chateau in Normandy, Boisgeloup, where he would take his iconic photographs of the celebrated plaster busts of Picasso's lover Marie-Therese Walter. Picasso was contributing to Andre Breton's Minotaur magazine and spending time with the likes of Man Ray, Salvador Dali, Lee Miller, and the poet Paul Eluard, in Paris and the south of France. It was during this time that Picasso began writing surrealist poetry and became obsessed with the image of himself as the mythic Minotaur.
Richardson shows us the artist being as prolific as ever, painting Walter, as well as the surrealist photographer Dora Maar, who became a muse, collaborator and lover. The bombing of Guernica in April 1937 would inspire Picasso's vast masterwork of the same name, which he painted in just a few weeks for the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris World's Fair. When the Nazis occupied Paris in 1940, Picasso chose to remain in the city despite the threat that his art would be confiscated. In 1943, Picasso met Francoise Gilot who would replace Maar and inspire a brilliant new sequence of paintings.
As always, Richardson tells Picasso's story through his work, analysing how it shows what the artist was feeling and thinking. His fascinating and illuminating narrative immerses us in one of the most exciting moments in twentieth-century cultural history, and brings to a close the definitive and critically acclaimed biography of one of the world's most celebrated artists.
Jaroslava Pešicová - Kočky, psi a Robert Rauschenberg
Cílem publikace, kterou v roce 2021 vydala GAVU Cheb ve spolupráci s Ústavem dějin umění AV ČR, v. v. i. u příležitosti stejnojmenné výstavy, není souhrnné zpracování tvorby Jaroslavy Pešicové. Soustřeďuje se na určité momenty, které byly pro směřování malířky rozhodující. Nástrojem interpretace je strukturální rozbor jejích prací, konfrontovaný s dobovými teoretickými texty. Na základě toho je možné její tvorbu pochopit v širším kontextu umění druhé poloviny 20. století, a to nejen v rámci nové figurace, ale i jiných směrů.
Kingfisher with Lotus Flower
Chickadees amid cherry blossoms, peacocks nestled in wisteria branches, sleeping owls against a moonlit night sky and majestic cranes diving in the ocean waves-these are some of the transcendent pleasures offered in this exquisite collection of plates bound in an accordion style format that honors the Japanese bookbinding tradition. Every major artist of this genre is included-from Keisai, Keibun and Hokusai to Hiroshige and Koson-as the history of Japanese printmaking unfolds in stunning detail. An introductory booklet explores the centuries long role that nature has played in Japanese art, from Chinese influenced works of the Kano school, which depicted the bird as a Buddhist symbol, through to the ukiyo-e, when artists strove to capture fleeting moments of pure joy. Fans of Japanese art, lovers of birds, and anyone who enjoys beautiful depictions of the natural world will cherish this sumptuous, satisfying volume of earthly delights.
Hannah Hoech
World-renowned for her work during the Weimar period, Hannah Hoech was a pioneer in many aspects, both artistic and cultural. She was the lone woman of the Berlin Dada movement - the riotous form of art that deconstructed sound, language, and images to re-assemble them into new objects, texts and meanings. Hoech was a pivotal force in the development of collage, paving the way for today's ubiquitous image editing techniques. A determined believer in women's rights, Hoech questioned conventional concepts of partnership, beauty and the making of art, her work presenting acute critiques of racial and social stereotypes, particularly that of her native Germany.
Focusing on Hoech's collages, this book examines the artist's career from the 1920s to the 1970s, charting her oeuvre from early works influenced by fashion and mass media, through to her later compositions of lyrical abstraction. It reveals her rapid development of a personal style, which was both humorous and often moving, but also offered critical commentary on society at a time of tremendous social change. Included are essays that examine themes such as the concept of the "New Woman" and the legacy of German colonialism. Featuring international scholarship on a groundbreaking artist, this volume brings together important source texts and reference material, which were first translated into English for the original edition of this book.
Miro
A new edition of this classic survey on the life and work of Spanish surrealist, Joan Miro, by his close friend, historian and fellow artist Roland Penrose.
Among the great 20th-century masters, the surrealist painter Joan Miro stands out for the atmosphere of wit and spontaneity that pervades his work. Miro's art went through many phases, and its major features - his signs and symbols, his series of anguished peintures sauvages in the 1930s, his lyrical, poetic gouaches, his monumental sculptures and ceramics, his unprecedented use of poetic titles, and his attachment to nature and to the night - are discussed here by Roland Penrose, a friend of the artist for almost five decades. A brief epilogue by Eduardo de Benito, London correspondent of the Spanish art periodical Lapiz, illustrates the developments of Miro's last years. This new revised edition, now illustrated in colour throughout, includes a foreword by Antony Penrose, outlining the relationship between his father and the artist, as well as updates to the Bibliography.

Ivana Štenclová
Na současné výtvarné scéně lze najít jen málo autorů, kteří zůstávají věrní jednomu a navíc tak tradičnímu námětu portrétu, jak to již přes dvacet let činí Ivana Štenclová. Dokázala jej formálně rozvinout do překvapující šíře a dodat mu nečekané niterné obsahy, na jejichž pozadí je mimo jiné možné rekonstruovat klíčové momenty jejího života. Malířka ve svém díle zkoumá jemné nuance vztahů a díky nim dokáže vystavět strhující příběhy, jež se svou intimitou a existenciální naléhavostí dotýkají každého z nás. K vyjádření emocí využívá vedle kreslířské bravury také invenční technologické postupy a materiálové experimenty. A jsou to právě vynalézavost, originalita i neobyčejná schopnost empatie, díky nimž můžeme Ivanu Štenclovou označit za zcela výjimečnou umělkyni v domácím i zahraničním kontextu.
Gravitace umělecké kompetence
Knižní vydání disertační práce, která analyzuje problematiku uměleckého vzdělávání a jeho následného vlivu na pozdější životy absolventů a absolventek oborů volného umění na AVU. Tematizuje otázky, jakými pocity je provázen osobní pocit neúspěchu v uměleckém prostředí či volba osobní rezignace na uměleckou kariéru. Je možné poté uměleckou kompetenci infiltrovat do světa mimo umění a jaký význam má v této situaci samotné umělecké vysokoškolské vzdělání? Isabela Grosseová hledá mimo jiné odpovědi v autentických rozhovorech s osobnostmi, které uměleckým vzděláním na AVU prošly.
Umění z NDR
Kniha Umění z NDR. Dědictví na obtíž? je vůbec první publikací v českém jazyce, která se zabývá výtvarným uměním někdejší Německé demokratické republiky. Ačkoli existence tohoto státu trvala jen čtyři desetiletí, jeho výtvarné dědictví vstoupilo do zcela nové etapy po znovusjednocení Německa. Editor Matěj Forejt (nar. 1993) proto publikaci nesestavil jako přehled uzavřených dějin, ale zaměřil se naopak na témata a příběhy překračující geografické i časové hranice. Přibližuje je prostřednictvím dvanácti textů celkem čtrnácti autorů a autorek. Proč po znovusjednocení Německa v roce 1990 vypukl dlouhotrvající spor o tvorbu umělců z bývalé NDR? Koho v 70. a 80. letech na Západě zajímalo umění z východního Německa a komu bylo trnem v oku? Co se dělo na ilegální galerijní scéně východního Německa? Jak malíře Gerharda Richtera ovlivnilo studium v NDR? Kde je v současném německém malířství ukrytý odkaz socialistického realismu? Odpovědi na tyto a další otázky jsou nejen vhledem do poválečné (východo)německé kultury, ale mohou sloužit i jako inspirace při přemýšlení o umění z ostatních zemí bývalého východního bloku.
Kniha obsahuje texty Joachima Fischera, Moniky Flacke, Matěje Forejta, Dany Giesecke, Eckharta Gillena, Wolfganga Hollera, Anke Jenckel, Paula Kaisera, Borise Pofally, Karla-Siegberta Rehberga, Kathleen Rosenthal, Holgera Saupeho, Joese Segala a Herberta Schirmera.
