Down the Earth


Rammed earth is a wall building technique that uses earth, chalk, lime and gravel as raw materials. It is an ancient building method that has experienced a renaissance in recent years as people seek greener and more sustainable building materials and naturalconstruction methods. Rammed earth walls are simple to construct, non-combustible, thermally massive, strong and durable. However, they can be labour-intensive to construct without machinery and are susceptible to water damage if not properly protected or maintained. Rammed earth buildings are found on almost every continent, in a range of environments including the temperate and humid regions of northern Europe, semi-arid deserts, mountain and country areas and the tropics. The availability of usable soil and a building design suited to local climatic conditions are factors favouring their use. This book is a compilation of the most relevant international examples of this interesting building technique.

Theodor Pištěk, Jan Pištěk - Dva světy / Two Worlds


Kniha zachycuje jedinečné setkání Theodora a Jana Pištěka, otce a syna, dvou vynikajících malířů, kteří se představili v roce 2022 na přehlídce Dva světy v pražské Galerii Villa Pellé. Šlo o významnou událost: přes nejužší příbuzenskou vazbu totiž společně nikdy nevystavovali. Theodor je klíčovou osobností hyperrealistického malířství a jeho tvorba kostýmního návrháře mu přinesla světové uznání. Jan zaujímá důležité postavení v postmoderní generaci, jež vstoupila na uměleckou scénu na přelomu osmdesátých a devadesátých 20. století. Každý má svůj nezaměnitelný styl vycházející z osobitého vidění skutečnosti a oba jsou perfekcionisti. Kniha přibližuje úctyhodné rodinné kořeny, ukazuje všechny vystavené obrazy a plastiky a zároveň pro budoucnosti uchovává podobu přehlídky, jež měla mimořádný divácký ohlas.

Ando. Complete Works 1975-Today. 2023 Edition


Discover the completely unique aesthetic of Tadao Ando, the only architect ever to have won the discipline’s four most prestigious prizes: the Pritzker, Carlsberg, Praemium Imperiale, and Kyoto Prize. Philippe Starck defines him as a “mystic in a country which is no longer mystic.” Philip Drew calls his buildings “land art” as they “struggle to emerge from the earth.” His designs have been described as haiku crafted from concrete, water, light, and space. But to Ando, true architecture is not expressed in metaphysics or beauty, but rather through space that embodies physical wisdom. This thoroughly updated edition spans the breadth of his entire career, including such stunning new projects as the Bourse de Commerce in Paris and the Nakanoshima Children’s Book Forest in Osaka. Each project is profiled through photographs and architectural drawings to explore Ando’s unprecedented use of concrete, wood, water, light, space, and natural forms. Featuring designs from award-winning private homes, churches, museums, and apartment complexes to cultural spaces throughout Japan, South Korea, France, Italy, Germany, Mexico, and the USA, this XXL-edition brings you up close and personal with a Modernist master. Also available in an Art Edition limited to 100 copies, with an original sketch signed by Tadao Ando and a Natural Oak box designed by Ando.

Araki. Bondage


He’s been called a genius and a poet, but also a misogynist, a pornographer, a monster?but Nobuyoshi Araki’s work transcends simple moralistic classifications. He has said of his work: “There is no conclusion. It’s completely open. It doesn’t go anywhere.” One of the greatest Japanese photographers of our time, Araki’s oeuvre is marked by an unmistakable mastery of composition, color, and tone. Meaning “the beauty of tight binding,” Kinbaku-bi, the traditional Japanese art of erotic bondage has long fascinated the photographer, becoming one of his most important subjects. Araki plays with patterns of subjugation and emancipation, death and desire and with the slippage between serene image and shock. Whether literally or figuratively, his models are certainly immobilized, but in the most tantalizing ways?girls lay bound but defiant, suspended from the ceiling, in traditional dress or nude, face-on, sometimes with a flower subtly positioned between their legs. Araki picks his all-time favorite images of bondage. The result is a testament to his ability to tantalizing balance sexual vulnerability and seduction like no other.

Madárka, madárka - 111 népdal magyarul és angolul


A népdal hagyományos vidéki közösségekből származó, szájhagyomány útján terjedő lírai és zenei mű, melynek szerzője ismeretlen. A gyűjteményünkben szereplő 111 magyar népdal átfogó képet ad a műfaj témáiról, zenei lehetőségeiről és szépségéről. A népdal a műzenére, vagyis a magyar nótára is erős befolyást gyakorolt, mivel ennek szerzői igyekeztek a népdal elemeit utánozni. Az itt közreadott népdalok angol fordítása arra szolgál, hogy becses kulturális hagyatékunknak ezt a részét a külföldiek számára is érthetővé tegye. A fordítás követi a magyar eredeti szövegét, ritmusát és rímképletét, és ezzel az angol nyelvű előadást is lehetővé teszi. A népdalok fordítója, Nagy György több mint öt évtizede él az Egyesült Államokban. Nevéhez számos szótár és nyelvkönyv kiadása fűződik. A TINTA Könyvkiadónál jelent meg 2019-ben a Tele van a csipkebokor virággal című gyűjteménye, amelyben 333 magyar nóta és azok angol fordítása található. The folk song is a lyrical and musical composition, handed down by oral tradition, whose author is unknown. The 111 songs presented in this collection provide a cross section of the typical themes and musical possibilities showing the beauty of the genre. The rich musical motifs of Hungarian folk songs have influenced the Hungarian country song, whose composers tried to imitate the folk songs. The current English translation of the selected folk songs has the purpose of making this part of our cultural tradition understandable to the outside world. The translation follows the text, rhythm, and rhyme scheme of the Hungarian original, making its English language performance possible. The translator, György Nagy, has been living in the United States for more than 50 years. He is the author of numerous dictionaries and language books. In 2019, his English translation of 333 Hungarian country songs entitled Tele van a csipkebokor virággal was published by TINTA Könyvkiadó.

Rene Magritte


The first book-length material study of the works of Belgian Surrealist René Magritte. René Magritte (1898–1967) is the most famous Belgian artist of the twentieth century and a celebrated representative of the Surrealist movement. Much has been written about his practices, artistic community, and significance within the history of modernism, but little has been documented regarding his process. This volume examines fifty oil paintings made by Magritte between 1921 and 1967, now held at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium. This technical study of his works using noninvasive scientific imaging and chemical analysis reveals the artist’s painting materials, his habit of overpainting previous compositions, and the origins and mechanisms of surface and pigment degradation. Of interest to conservators, scientists, curators, and enthusiasts of twentieth-century art, this book expands our understanding of Magritte the artist and provides new and useful findings that will inform strategies for the future care of his works.
