Impressionism
A new edition of Belinda Thomson's highly accessible survey, which brings together the latest research on this perennially popular art movement.
The enduring popularity of Impressionism belies what the group of painters dubbed the Impressionists stood for. In the 1870s and 1880s, French artists, including Pissarro, Monet, Degas, Morisot and Renoir, adopted a revolutionary style of technique and subject matter that defied the traditions of the French Academy and the Salons. Rooted in anarchism, political radicalism, and a belief in science and individualism, their paintings captured modern life in ways never seen before.
Belinda Thomson's insightful study sheds light on the personal lives and creative thinking of the Impressionists, exploring the factors that shaped their masterpieces. From family backgrounds to the importance of the art market and the critical reception that challenged yet ultimately defined their work, this introduction offers a nuanced exploration of one of the most transformative movements in art history.
The Quiet Home
"'House hushing' is a new interiors trend that's making (the right kind of) noise in these troubling times." Guardian

Lucian Freud - Drawing into Painting
Drawing into Painting reveals Lucian Freud’s lifelong focus on the human face and form, tracing the intimate dialogue between his sketches and paintings from the 1930s to the early 21st century. Lucian Freud (1922–2011) is celebrated as one of the great figurative realist artists of the twentieth century, who devoted his artistic life to portraiture. Famously stating that ‘everything is a portrait’, he created intensely observed portraits of animals and plants, as well as his family members and those in his social circle and daily life.
Drawing into Painting explores how drawing remained central to Freud’s artistic practice throughout his life. From quick sketches to finished works in charcoal, pastel, and etching, his drawings offer a rare window into his process, revealing shifts in style, experimentation, and his evolving way of seeing. Spanning from his childhood to his final years, the book traces the unconventional path from his drawing practice to his painting, and back again.
Alongside a selection of key paintings by Freud and others, the book includes conversations with David Dawson, Freud’s close friend and assistant, and Bella Freud, the artist’s daughter. Insightful essays by writer and curator Catherine Lampert, British Museum drawings curator Isabel Seligman, and acclaimed novelist Colm Tóibín further illuminates Freud’s world and legacy.
Brassai: Graffiti
Master photographer Brassai’s seminal volume dedicated to street graffiti is back in print.

This beautifully curated reissue includes a comprehensive selection of Brassai’s photographs of graffiti, facsimile pages from his sketchbooks, extracts from his conversations with Picasso, and several reworked translations of his essays on graffiti. An essential volume in the history of photography, this book is a tribute to Brassai’s extraordinary prescience and freedom of thought.
Ladislav Smoček
Kniha věnovaná Ladislavu Smočkovi (?1932), českému dramatiku a režisérovi, spoluzakladateli Činoherního klubu, představuje jeho dílo od poloviny 50. let 20. století k dnešku.
Prostřednictvím Smočkovy částečně autobiografické hry Nejlepší den (kterou uvedl v Divadle J. K. Tyla v Plzni v roce 1995) nahlíží dobu, již prožil v Protektorátu Čechy a Morava a ve dnech vítězství nad nacismem, když Plzeň osvobodila americká armáda. Monografie přibližuje Smočkovy inscenace z prvních angažmá v Benešově a v Divadle Julia Fučíka v Brně (Pavlíčkův Slavík a Labyrint srdce, Goldoniho Poprask na laguně, Goodrichové a Hackettův Deník Anny Frankové ad.) i jeho působení v Laterně magice. Doširoka se zaobírá vznikem Činoherního klubu v roce 1965 a Smočkovými původními hrami a inscenacemi z prvních sedmi let existence divadla (Piknik, Bludiště a Podivné odpoledne dr. Zvonka Burkeho, Kosmické jaro). Jsou zde nahlíženy jako „divadlo režírovaného herce“ a zachycují tak nejen osobnost a umění Ladislava Smočka, ale i hereček a herců, již se stali jedinečnými spolutvůrci těchto inscenací. I Smočkova vrcholná režisérská díla z pozdější doby (O’Neillová Cesta dlouhého dne do noci, Zuckmayerův Hejtman z Kopníku, Horváthovy Povídky z Vídeňského lesa a Gogolovi Hráči z přelomu 70. a 80. let a po roce 1989 pak Birinského Mumraj, inscenace českých komediografů 19. a 20. století, Kunderova Ptákovina ad.) jsou tu zároveň obrazem souboru a společenství Činoherního klubu. Na základě původního výzkumu kniha představuje Smočkovy pohostinské režie v zahraničí, zejména v curyšském Theater am Neumarkt a Theater im Depot (Depot Tiefenbrunnen).
Komiks a/jako reklama
Po úspěšné publikaci Dějiny československého komiksu 20. století se polovina jejího autorského týmu rozhodla soustředit na specifickou část domácí komiksové produkce – obrázkové seriály užívané jako prostředek reklamy. Předkládaná kniha se tak věnuje vztahu komiksu a tiskové reklamy, podrobně mapuje, jaké seriály a jakým způsobem byly užívány k propagaci různých produktů a služeb, a to od roku 1900, prvního doloženého výskytu inzerce ve formě obrázkového seriálu, až po dravá devadesátá léta 20. století. Bohatě ilustrovaný svazek s rozsáhlou obrazovou přílohou připomíná řadu pozoruhodných, leč pozapomenutých komiksových reklamních fenoménů, jejichž tvorbě se věnovali jak v dané době nejvýraznější komiksoví výtvarníci, tak i zkušení propagační grafici.
Publikace sleduje i různé kontexty spojení titulních fenoménů či jejich dobovou odbornou reflexi a představuje i nekomiksovou propagační tvorbu nejvýznamnějších osobností, kteří reklamní komiksy tvořili, od Josefa Lady a Ondřeje Sekory po Káju Saudka a Jaroslava Němečka.
Vychází za podpory Filozofické fakulty Univerzity Palackého v Olomouci.
The Yves Saint Laurent Revolution: The Story of Le Smoking
The story of an outfit, a designer, his muse, and what the three of them created together: contemporary style.
Paris, 1966. In the tranquility of his studio on Avenue Marceau, Yves Saint Laurent is conducting research for his next collection. From his drawings a female figure emerges... in a tuxedo! 'Le Smoking' is born.
New York, 1967. Yves Saint Laurent steps out for lunch on the Upper East Side with his lifelong muse Betty Catroux. They are denied a table at every restaurant... because Betty is wearing Le Smoking. A woman in trousers? Unacceptable!
This chic graphic novel tells the story of Yves Saint Laurent and Betty Catroux's journey with Le Smoking. Through encounters with such timeless figures from fashion and art as Coco Chanel, Christian Dior and Andy Warhol, we discover the studio secrets of the making of Le Smoking and learn how this iconic piece anticipated and contributed to second-wave feminism in the late 1960s.
Textiles x Art
A compelling showcase of the dynamic intersection of textiles and contemporary art.
Why are so many contemporary artists turning to thread, fabric and fibre to make their most powerful work?
Textile art has surged into the spotlight, shedding its long-standing association with domesticity and craft to take centre stage in galleries, biennales and critical discourse. Ramona Barry and Beck Jobson explore this vibrant resurgence, and the way artists across the globe are embracing traditional techniques like weaving, embroidery, quilting and dyeing, while pushing them into bold new territory. Far from decorative or nostalgic, these works speak to urgent contemporary themes: identity, gender, migration and environment.
Textiles have become a site of resistance, storytelling and innovation. This global survey of forty-four artists reveals the shifting boundaries between craft and fine art, and the expressive power of cloth in the hands of today's most boundary-pushing creatives. Textile art isn't just having a moment: it's reshaping the conversation.
Lucian Freud
"One of the best books ever written by one painter about another." ? John Russell, The New York Times
First published in 1982, Lawrence Gowing's Lucian Freud is an intimate portrayal of one of the twentieth century's most exceptional artists. At once a pivotal narrative, a furtive autobiography, and a profound exploration of what it means to think through paint, this book represents a historically significant collaboration between two of modern art's brightest minds.
Drawing on forty years of friendship?as well as his own painterly intuition?Gowing's commentary pushes language to the very edge of meaning, evoking the richness of Freud's art with poetic incisiveness as he locates, within the paint itself, "a coiled vigilance and . . . a serpentine litheness in the ready, rapid way in which an object was confronted."
Freud's deep involvement in the original book offers rare insight into the artist as he was in the 1980s. The conversations and questions that shape Gowing's text produced some of Freud's most memorable and widely quoted reflections, while Freud's choice and grouping of paintings and drawings reveal unexpected connections across his works, as seen through his eyes.
Completely redesigned and reissued after many years out of print, this book remains a landmark publication on Lucian Freud.

Art for All. Art History
A comprehensive volume covering five seminal genres that shaped art, from the late 19th century and well into the 20th: Impressionism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. Each approach was distinct in aesthetic and philosophy, but all had immediate impact and enduring influence. Many great names were indelibly associated with one, some explored several during their careers.
Impressionism, led by Monet and Renoir, focused on light and color, capturing fleeting moments and challenging academic art's rigidity. Expressionism was driven by artists like Edvard Munch and Wassily Kandinsky to convey raw emotion, distorting reality to reflect the angst of human experience. Surrealists, like Salvador Dal? and René Magritte, explored the subconscious, dreams, and the irrational, blending reality with fantasy across art, literature, and film. With Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko leading the charge, Abstract Expressionism emphasized spontaneity and emotion through bold, gestural brushstrokes, and established New York as the post-war art world's new Mecca. Finally, artists like Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol gained fame and dominated the zeitgeist by synthesizing advertising, pop culture, and high art into Pop Art.
Though diverse, these movements collectively pushed the boundaries of creativity, redefined artistic expression, and altered the trajectory of contemporary art. This lavish edition celebrates their stories, featuring more than 250 high-quality reproductions and texts, exploring how each movement's ideas and innovations transformed art forever.
Frank Frazetta
Frank Frazetta has reigned as the undisputed king of fantasy art for well over 50 years, the value of his paintings now climbing as high as his fans’ admiration. Each year his works break the previous year’s auction records, with the cover for Lancer books 1967 Conan bringing $13.5 million in September 2025.Born to a Sicilian immigrant family in Brooklyn, 1928, Frazetta was a minor league athlete, petty criminal and serial seducer with movie star looks and phenomenal talent. Self-described as lazy and difficult, he often started a painting the night before it was due, completing it in mere hours, yet delivering a masterpiece—often still wet, but a masterpiece, nonetheless.
He started in comics at age 16, including the infamous EC Comics, moved on to film posters, then to Tarzan and Conan pulp covers. Along the way he produced magazine covers for National Lampoon, though at odds with the editors’ “hippy politics,” made the animated film Fire & Ice with director Ralph Bakshi, and learned to paint left-handed at age 68 after the first of many strokes paralyzed his right hand. As he explained in the 1970s, “I’m very physical minded.
In Brooklyn, I knew Conan, I knew guys just like him.” Using this first-hand knowledge of muscle and macho he redefined fantasy heroes as more massive, more menacing, more testosterone-fueled than anything seen before, and their female counterparts as thick-thighed, heavy-buttocked, and pixie-faced, yet still, with their soft bellies and hints of cellulite, believably real. All in all, Frazetta’s art is addictive as potato chips, and now available in a compact, attractive and affordable package.

The Rolling Stones. 45th Ed.
The kind of fame and success The Rolling Stones have achieved in their 60-plus year career is without parallel; their most famous riffs and catchiest lyrics are indelibly engraved in our collective memory. With their mesmerizing on- and off-stage presence, the Stones set the standard for how a rock band should sound, pose, pout, and behave. They were the first to instinctively understand that what you looked like was as important as the music, and that photography had a vital role in promoting that image.
“The clothes and the hair are always impeccable,” describes author Lucy Sante. “They were playing themselves, but with such consistent finesse you knew they were instinctively aware of the camera and how good they will look in the photos.” Unsurprisingly many of the greatest photographers in the history of the medium wanted to take their picture. Produced in close collaboration with the band, this edition charts the Stones’ remarkable history and outrageously cool lifestyle in over 500 pages of photographs and illustrations, gathered from archives all over the world.
Unprecedented access to the Rolling Stones’ own archives in New York and London adds an equally extraordinary, more private side to their story. For Mick, Keith, Charlie, and Ronnie this is and was their official photographic record. Features:Over 500 pages of incredible images from some of the world’s greatest photographers, including David Bailey, Annie Leibovitz, Cecil Beaton, Anton Corbijn, Herb Ritts, Albert Watson, Andy Warhol, David LaChapelle, Peter Beard, Helmut Newton, Bent Rej, Gered Mankowitz, and Norman Parkinson.Essays from award-winning writers David Dalton, Waldemar Januszczak, and Lucy Sante.Appendix including a Stones timeline and a discography.
