Warhol


Andy Warhol je hlavný predstaviteľ popartového hnutia. Ako kreatívny a kritický pozorovateľ americkej spoločnosti dokázal stvárniť aktuálne témy, ako sú spotreba, materializmus, médiá a celebrity. Venoval sa reklame, komiksom, potlači predmetov bežnej spotreby, portrétoval najslávnejšie tváre Hollywoodu, a tým všetkým prispel k radikálnemu prehodnoteniu toho, čo je a čo nie je umelecké dielo. Práve vďaka Warholovi sa plechovka Campbellovej polievky a fľaša Coca-Coly stali objektami s rovnakou umeleckou hodnotou ako predmety na klasických zátišiach. Spolu s tým Warhol radikálne zmenil vnímanie samotného umelca. Svojou slávnou vetou „chcem byť stroj“ dal najavo opovrhnutie voči konceptu autorstva. Pracoval metódami masovej produkcie, mal desiatky asistentov a svoje štúdio rád nazýval fabrikou. Táto kniha prináša pohľad do Warholovho rozsiahleho a pestrofarebného životného diela, ktoré do umenia vnieslo témy ako bývanie, výroba a konzum, a tak úplne prehodnotilo vnímanie „vysokého“ a „nízkeho“ umenia.

Late Works of J. M. W. Turner: The Artist and his Critics


An exploration of Turner's final, vital years, including new readings of some of his most significant paintings The paintings and drawings Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) produced from 1835 to his death in 1851 are seen by many as his most audacious and compelling work, a typical example of "late style." In this study, Sam Smiles goes beyond late style, with its focus on formal qualities and assumptions about personal expression, as an explanatory framework for Turner's late works. Instead, he argues that Turner, in his final fifteen years, was an artist entirely engaged with his own times. Smiles examines the artist's critical reception in these years and scrutinizes accounts that presumed Turner's physical and mental health collapsed in his seventies, to see what can be reliably said about his work as he aged. Emerging from this study is an artist who used his final years to consolidate the principles that had motivated him throughout his career.

Disney, Mickey Mouse


On November 18, 1928, the world's most famous Mouse made his very first public debut. Today, we celebrate 90+ years of Mickey in one of the most expansive illustrated publications on the Disney universe. Starting with the first sketches of a character who was almost named Mortimer, we trace the career of Walt Disney's and Ub Iwerks's most famous creation, one met with an explosion of worldwide popularity preceded only by the earlier successes of Charlie Chaplin. With unlimited access to Disney's vast historical collections as well as public and private collections, the authors bring Mickey's success story to life: concept art, story sketches, background paintings, and animation drawings as well as historical photographs trace the origins and evolution of such timeless favorites as Steamboat Willie, The Band Concert, and Brave Little Tailor. They also follow Mickey as he builds on this legendary library of short cartoons by appearing in two historic feature-length films, Fantasia and Fun and Fancy Free. Extensive archival research sheds new light on little-known chapters of Mickey's career, the origins of the Mickey Mouse Club, and his use as a patriotic icon during World War II. Along the way, we encounter the work of all major Mickey artists in both film and comics, including such greats as Ub Iwerks, Win Smith, Ferdinand Horvath, Fred Moore, Floyd Gottfredson, Carl Barks, Manuel Gonzales, Paul Murry, Romano Scarpa, Giorgio Cavazzano, Byron Erickson, and Cesar Ferioli. Mickey Mouse has left an indelible mark on everyday culture as well as high art, becoming a favored subject for Pop artists such as Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, and Roy Lichtenstein. As Walt Disney once said: "I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing-that it was all started by a mouse." And an end to the success story is nowhere in sight. Today, 90+ years after his creation, Mickey remains as lovable and popular as ever. Let's pay tribute to the little fellow, his legend, and his legacy with a monument to the one and only Mickey Mouse. Copyright (c) 2020 Disney Enterprises, Inc.

Masterpieces of Fantasy Art


Fantasy art, that colorful blend of myth, muscle and sexy maidens, took off in 1923 with the launch of Weird Talesmagazine, was reinvigorated in the 1960s with The Lord of the Rings, Conan the Barbarian paperbacks with Frank Frazetta covers, and the late ’60s emergence of fantasy psychedelia. It went big in the ’70s with the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, the brilliant French magazine Métal Hurlant, and the first Star Wars film. The number of active artists peaked in that decade, but a new generation of fans discovered the genre through fantasy trading card games in the ’90s, leading to a massive interest in the art form today. Frank Frazetta’s oil paintings—when they infrequently come to market—have sold for more than $ 5 million in recent years. Fans line up at Comic-Cons to meet Boris Vallejo, Rodney Matthews, Greg Hildebrandt, Michael Whelan, and Philippe Druillet, and memorialize dead icons HR Giger, Jeffrey Catherine Jones, and Frazetta. Imagine how eagerly they’ll welcome TASCHEN’s History of Fantasy Art, including all the artists listed above and more. This monster-sized tome features original paintings, contextualized by preparatory sketches, sculptures, calendars, magazines, and paperback books for an immersive dive into this dynamic, fanciful genre. Insightful bios go beyond Wikipedia to give a more accurate and eye-opening look into the life of each artist. Complete with fold-outs and tipped-in chapter openers, this collection will reign as the most exquisite and informative guide to this popular subject for years to come.

Jiří Georg Jilovský


Jiří Jílovský (1884-1958) vstoupil do profesionálního života po ukončení pražské akademie v roce 1908, kdy se ve skupině Jung-Prag zaujal místo Richarda Teschnera. Mimo knižní úpravy byl autorem ex-libris, u kterého se řadí mezi zakladatele žánru, jako takového. Byl virtuózním kreslířem a ovládal všechny grafické techniky. V malbě se především zabýval portréty, malbou v plenéru a starou Prahou. Tu zachycoval i v grafice. Dá se označit spolu s Aloisem Wiererem za poslední novoromantické malíře. Důležité bylo i jeho členství v pražské zednářské lóži Schlaraffie, sídlící ve Štěpánské ulici. Řada prací, zejména z počátku jeho tvorby, se zaobírá mytologií, pohádkou a symbolikou. V jeho podání má každý prvek svébytný význam, například v grafikách staré Prahy si pohrává s oblohou, která určuje náladu, zatímco drobná figurální stafáž vypráví příběh. Za druhé světové války jeho dva synové zemřeli v koncentračním táboře. On sám přežil zásluhou toho, že ho z Osvětimi převezli do Sachsenhausenu, kde byl zaměstnán v padělatelské dílně (příběh byl zfilmován pod názvem Ďáblova dílna), která vyráběla padělky anglických liber. Po návratu z koncentračního tábora se snažil vrátit se ke své práci. Ateliér byl stejně, jako u řady dalších česko-německých autorů za války zničen. Většina volných prací, tak nenávratně zmizela. Jiří Georg Jílovský umírá zapomenut v roce 1958. Arno Pařík, největším znalec Jilovského tvorby, ji přehledně propojil do tematických kapitol, rozsáhlý obrazový doprovod je sumou toho nejlepšího z jeho díla.

Bruegel, Paintings


The life and times of Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1526/30-1569) were marked by stark cultural conflict. He witnessed religious wars, the Duke of Alba's brutal rule as governor of the Netherlands, and the palpable effects of the Inquisition. To this day, the Flemish artist remains shrouded in mystery. We know neither where nor exactly when he was born. But while early scholarship emphasized the vernacular character of his painting and graphic work, modern research has attached greater importance to its humanistic content. Starting out as a print designer for publisher Hieronymus Cock, Bruegel produced numerous print series that were distributed throughout Europe. These depicted vices and virtues alongside jolly peasant festivals and sweeping landscape panoramas. He then increasingly turned to painting, working for the cultural elite of Antwerp and Brussels. Rather than idealizing reality, he bravely confronted the issues of his day, addressing the horrors of religious warfare and taking a critical stand against the institution of the Church. To this end, Bruegel developed his own pictorial language of dissidence, lacing innocuous everyday scenes with subliminal statements in order to escape repercussions. This book is derived from our XXL monograph, which saw TASCHEN undertake a comprehensive photographic survey of the artist's oeuvre. The result boasts exceptional details and reproductions, unveiling Bruegel's larger-than-life universe with unprecedented clarity. This volume, in celebration of our 40th anniversary, presents all 40 paintings, accompanied by enlarged details and accessible, immersive texts. About the series TASCHEN turns 40 this year!

Matisse: The Books


The livre d'artiste, or 'artist's book', is among the most prized in rare book collections. Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was one of the greatest artists to work in this genre, creating his most important books over a period of eighteen years from 1932 to 1950 - a time of personal upheaval and physical suffering, as well as conflict and occupation for France. Brimming with powerful themes and imagery, these works are crucial to an understanding of Matisse's oeuvre, yet much of their content has never been seen by a wider audience. In Matisse: The Books, Louise Rogers Lalaurie reintroduces us to Matisse by considering how in each of eight limited-edition volumes, the artist constructs an intriguing dialogue between word and image. She also highlights the books' profound significance for Matisse as the catalysts for the extraordinary 'second life' of his paper cut-outs. In concert with an eclectic selection of poetry, drama and, tantalizingly, Matisse's own words, the books' images offer an astonishing portrait of creative resistance and regeneration. Matisse's books contain some of the artist's best-known graphic works - the magnificent, belligerent swan from the Poesies de Stephane Mallarme, or the vigorous linocut profile from Pasiphae (1944), reversed in a single, rippling stroke out of a lake of velvety black. In Jazz, the cut-out silhouette of Icarus plummets through the azure, surrounded by yellow starbursts, his heart a mesmerizing dot of red. But while such individual images are well known, their place in an integrated sequence of pictures, decorations and words is not. With deftness and sensitivity, Lalaurie explores the page-by-page interplay of the books, translating key sequences and discussing their distinct themes and creative genesis. Together Matisse's artist books reveal his deep engagement with questions of beauty and truth; his faith; his perspectives on aging, loss, and inspiration; and his relationship to his critics, the French art establishment and the women in his life. In addition, Matisse: The Books illuminates the artist's often misunderstood political affinities - in particular, his decision to live in the collaborationist Vichy zone, throughout World War II. Matisse's wartime books are revealed as a body of work that stands as a deeply personal statement of resistance.

Česká secese


V devadesátých letech 19. století se v Praze, podobně tomu bylo v Mnichově, Vídni či Berlíně, rozvinula činnost spolku mladých umělců, který vznikl jako secese (odštěpení) z tradičních uměleckých struktur. Za svůj hlavní úkol si určil prosazovat nové moderní umění. Spolek výtvarných umělců Mánes se stal jádrem generačního seskupování a v roce 1896 zahájil vydávání vlastního periodika Volné směry. Od roku 1898, kdy otevřel první spolkové výstavy, byl již neopominutelným reprezentantem české výtvarné kultury. Pro uměleckou orientaci spolku byla hlavním příkladem soudobá Francie, pomáhající překonávat lokální nacionalistické zájmy, ale vedení časopisu a spolku, kde vynikali výtvarný a literární kritik F. X. Šalda, architekt Jan Kotěra, sochař Stanislav Sucharda a malíř Jan Preisler, sledovalo celou mezinárodní uměleckou scénu. Zápas o naplnění ideálu moderního umění ukázal potom plný význam pojmu secese, když další generace, nastupující po přelomové výstavě Edvarda Muncha v Praze (1905), vyvolala krizi svým příklonem k nejaktuálnějšímu kubismu. Tento dramatický vývoj českého umění je sledován jako postupné vyhraňování tří hlavních programových směrů: tendence naturalisticko-impresionistické, symbolistické a ornamentálně dekorativní. Realizovány byly separátně, ale jejich vzájemný vztah dává secesi hlubší umělecký smysl a narušuje obecné povědomí, chápající secesi zpravidla jako eklektický dekorativní styl, který odezněl s počátkem 20. století.

Gaudi


The life of Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926) was full of complexity and contradictions. As a young man he joined the Catalonian nationalist movement and was critical of the church; toward the end of his life he devoted himself completely to the construction of one single spectacular church, La Sagrada Familia. In his youth, he courted a glamorous social life and the demeanor of a dandy. By the time of his death in a tram accident on the streets of Barcelona, his clothes were so shabby that passersby assumed he was a beggar. Gaudi's incomparable architecture channels much of this multifaceted intricacy. From the shimmering surface textures and skeletal forms of Casa Batllo to the Hispano-Arabic matrix of Casa Vicens, his work merged the influences of Orientalism, natural forms, new materials, and religious faith into a unique Modernista aesthetic. Today, his buildings enjoy global popularity and acclaim; his magnum opus, the Sagrada Familia, is the most-visited monument in Spain and seven of his works are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Packed full of expert texts and hundreds of full-color illustrations, including new photography, this book presents Gaudi's complete oeuvre. Like a personal tour through Barcelona, we explore his residential, religious, and public projects. We see how the "Dante of architecture" was a builder in the truest sense of the word, crafting extraordinary constructions out of minute and mesmerizing details, transforming fantastical visions into realities on the city streets.
