Encounters with Artists


Personal encounters with some of the world’s most influential modern and contemporary artists by leading art critic and writer Richard Cork. In Encounters with Artists , Richard Cork turns his impeccable skills as a critic and writer to tell the story of his encounters with some of the world’s most influential artists. From a serendipitous meeting with Pablo Picasso in Cannes in 1965 through his early days as a writer on the Evening Standard and his later role as chief art critic for The Times , Cork records the personal encounters that reveal the characters behind the art. From individuals who can look back over a lifetime’s career, such as Louise Bourgeois, Roy Lichtenstein, and Jasper Johns, to younger artists encountered at the beginning of their careers, such as Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst, Cork reveals artists’ inner thoughts, anxieties, and creative ambitions. From a studio meeting with Lucian Freud to being driven through the Yorkshire countryside by David Hockney and given a tour of Soho drinking locations with Francis Bacon, Cork has found that “talking to artists can, in my experience, be surprising, revealing, salutary, testing, provocative, stimulating, and at times capable of overturning all my preconceptions about the individuals I encounter.” Cork has played a significant role in popularizing late modern and contemporary art. In the words of art critic Louisa Buck, his “lucid, evenhanded and at times trenchantly critical judgement has been invaluable in helping to create the multiplicity of approach and vigorous debates of today’s artistic climate.” 1 black-and-white illustration

Art Unpacked


A down-to-earth, visual guidebook that shows how to “read,” understand, and get the most out of art. For beginners, art history might seem a daunting subject with complex rules and impenetrable technical language. Even for more seasoned art lovers the question of how to think about art is a perennial riddle. Art Uncovered is the perfect resource for both an engaging, visual primer for the general reader and educators. Designed like an instruction manual, fifty key artworks from around the world are deconstructed with explanations, diagrams, and close-ups in order to reveal the elements that comprise a masterpiece. Dating from the earliest times to the present, the artworks under analysis are drawn from many cultures and cover all forms of visual media, including drawing, illustration, photography, prints, and sculpture. Matthew Wilson’s simple approach, using established art historical methods, enables the reader to discover the fundamentals of art history, from considerations of function, historical context, iconography, and artists’ experience to broader issues of identity, including feminism, gender, and postcolonialism. Whether it’s the mask of Tutankhamun or Dorothea Lange’s photograph Migrant Mother , Katsushika Hokusai’s Great Wave or Kara Walker’s Gone , each image is dissected on the page in a no-nonsense style, with explanatory notes detailing artists’ sources of inspiration, associated styles and movements, plus any relevant quotes, related visuals, and other contextual and issue-led information with keywords for handy cross-referencing. The resulting book is a dynamic visual resource that will inspire and spark enjoyment of art in all its forms. 850 color illustrations.

Michelangelo and Beyond


This exhibition catalog charts the evolution of figure drawing in the western world, starting with Michelangelo, and explores his enormous influence over his contemporaries and later generations. Michelangelo’s nude drawings are celebrated for their depiction of the heroic figure. Emanating exceptional strength, monumentality, and vigorous emotions, his nudes became the standard bearers for centuries of figure drawing. This book examines the legacy of that ideal, through highly engaging texts and luminous reproductions of drawings, prints, and sculptures. In addition to key works by Michelangelo—including drawings for the Sistine Chapel, the unfinished fresco of the Battle of Cascina, and the tomb of Pope Julius II—readers will discover works by Raphael, Dürer, Rembrandt, Rubens, Klimt, and Schiele. Each chapter highlights a significant aspect of Michelangelo’s ideal of the human body and investigates its influence and adaptation by his contemporaries and subsequent artists. Topics such as depictions of Adam and Eve, the Crucifixion and the Pieta, and motifs from mythology such as the Labors of Hercules; how Michelangelo’s methods were taught in art schools from the 17th to the 19th century; the emergence of woman as subject; and the decline of the idealized human figure during modernism. These side-by-side comparisons provide generous insights into how artists portrayed the human body—as a model of virtue and heroism, and as a conveyor of vice and fragility. Together these texts and examples provide the perfect resource for students of the human form and of the history of western art.

Móda x Umění


Katalog vycházející ke stejnojmenné letní výstavě Musea Kampa. Výstava představuje dámské šaty z převážně šedesátých let, které bez nadsázky započaly módní revoluci. Ikonické kousky od návrhářů jako Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, Paco Rabanne, Yves Saint-Laurent a mnoho dalších jsou doplněny a konfrontovány uměleckými díly ze sbírky Musea Kampa. Móda je plná rozporů. Zahaluje i odhaluje. Vyvolává emoce, ale také vytváří bariéry. Patří jí povrch, avšak naznačuje hloubku. Dokáže být rebelská, ovšem přiklání se ke konformitě. Je líbivá, ale rovněž zneklidňující. Neustále se proměňuje, přitom směřuje k nadčasovosti. Vytrhává nás z davu, ale svádí k uniformitě. Překvapuje, jakož i uklidňuje a míří k jasně vymezenému stylu. Bere se až příliš vážně, přesto bývá nečekaně hravá. Je povrchní až prázdná, nicméně zároveň obsahující významy. Umění naproti tomu rozporné být nemá – spojuje se s jednoznačnou hloubkou a nadčasovou hodnotou. Móda je paradoxní fenomén ze své podstaty. Nikdy není pouze funkční a užitková, přesahuje společenskou nutnost, která člověku přikazuje se oblékat. Její povrchnost a triviálnost jsou šalebné – vždy odráží posedlosti i ideály doby, ve které vznikala. Módní artefakty jsou příkladnými objekty touhy. Byly jimi už v době svého vzniku, proto se nám také zachovaly, proto nás fascinují dodnes. Můžeme je obdivovat, ale též analyzovat, ukotvovat v kontextu, zbavovat původního kouzla, nebo trikem naopak umocňovat. Není divu, že se módní artefakty staly muzejními objekty. Můžeme je obdivovat jako stopy zaniklé kultury, ale je možné v nich nacházet něco, co historičnost přesahuje, co k nám hovoří z jiné doby. Móda je tématem nás všech, i když si to třeba nechceme přiznat. Módní exponáty byly zapůjčeny ze sbírky Alexandre Vassiljev Foundation z Kaunasu v Litvě, jedné z nejvýznamnějších soukromých sbírek módy na světě s více než půl milionem šatů, bot a rozmanitých doplňků. texty: Martina Vítková, Petra Hanáková fotografie: Oto Palán, PIX studia grafická úprava: Hedvika Marešová

Monets Minutes


A stunning exploration of the vital links between Claude Monet’s Impressionism and the time technologies that helped define modernity in the nineteenth century. Monet’s Minutes is a revelatory account charting the relationship between the works of Claude Monet (1840–1926)?founder of French Impressionism and one of the world’s best-known painters?and the modern experience of time. André Dombrowski illuminates Monet’s celebration of instantaneity in the context of the late nineteenth-century time technologies that underwrote it. Monet’s version of Impressionism demonstrated an acute awareness of the particularly modern pressures of time, but until now scholars have not examined the histories and technologies of time and timekeeping that informed Impressionism’s major stylistic shifts. Arguing that the fascination with instantaneity rejected the dulling cultures of newly routinized and standardized time, Monet’s Minutes traces the evolution of Monet’s art to what were then seismic shifts in the shape of time itself. In each chapter, Dombrowski focuses on the connections between a set of Monet’s works and a specific technology or experience of time, while providing the voices of period critics responding to Impressionism. Grounded in exceptional research and analyses, this book offers new interpretations of key paintings by Monet and a fresh perspective on late nineteenth-century art, society, and modern temporality.

Hyperborea


A career-to-date retrospective of a unique creative talent. A journey to the most inaccessible Arctic regions of Siberia, showing dreamlike encounters with its people, landscapes, and fauna. Hyperborea presents unforgettable visual tales of life in the Siberian Arctic that Evgenia Arbugaeva knew when she was growing up in Tiksi, a town on the shore of the Laptev Sea in the Republic of Yakutia. Her work discloses both the fragility and beautiful desolation of the land and those who inhabit it, and her rigorously composed photographs glow with rich otherworldly color, bristle with the raw vibrancy of the climate, and exhibit the quiet intensity of lives borne out in seclusion and extremes. This beautifully produced photobook contains a decade of work, with photographs selected from across the full range of Arbugaeva’s series and extensive travels across the Russian Arctic coast to connect with people living in these remote and inhospitable places. The photographs that she brings back from her long-term visits convey a world where everything seems humans and nature, the sky and the land. An elemental space of deep solitude and slower pace of life. Her images invite us to contemplate a territory that has been a place of longing and imagination for many, which is now under existential threat from a multitude of environmental changes. With an introduction by anthropologist Piers Vitebsky, four texts by Arbugaeva to supplement the images, and a specially commissioned map to provide a sense of where Arbugaeva’s work is located, Hyperborea is a future collectible for all photobook fans and introduces a global audience to a very special talent in the world of photography. 45 color illustrations

A Modern Dal filozófiája


"Az emberek próbálhatják a zenét tudománnyá változtatni, de a tudományban egy meg egy mindig kettő lesz. A zene, mint minden művészet, újra és újra azt mondja el nekünk, hogy egy meg egy az a legjobb esetben három." Aligha akad még egy ember a modern könnyűzenében, aki többet tudna a dalszerzés rejtelmeiről, mint Bob Dylan. A popkultúra ikonja és élő legendája az angolszász könnyűzenei dalkincs legjavát gyűjti egybe Little Richardtól, Elvis Presley-től és Frank Sinatrától kezdve Roy Orbisonon, Santanán és a Grateful Deaden át egészen Judy Garlandig, Cherig és Nina Simone-ig, hogy összesen hatvanhat, összehasonlíthatatlan stílusban megírt lírai esszéjében egyszerre meséljen a dalok mögött húzódó érzésvilágról, zenei formanyelvükről és keletkezésük körülményeiről. Ám Dylan nem elégszik meg ennyivel. Szövegei mindig többek egyszerű kommentárnál: egy-egy nóta kapcsán gyakran az emberi létezés mélyére ás, és önmagához híven sosem habozik véleményt nyilvánítani erkölcsi-társadalmi kérdésekben sem. 2020-ban kiadott Rough and Rowdy Ways című albumával Bob Dylan lett az egyetlen olyan előadó a könnyűzene történetében, akinek a hatvanas évek óta minden évtizedben sikerült felkerülnie a Billboard Top 40-es listájára. A modern dal filozófiája az első kötete a magyarul 2005-ben megjelent Krónikák, és a 2016-ban elnyert irodalmi Nobel-díj óta.
