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.
Matisse
This lavishly produced volume explores Matisse’s lifelong reinvention of art through some fifty works, six extraordinary fold-out spreads, and illuminating essays.
Providing a unique opportunity to see Matisse’s work at a remarkable scale, this volume echoes the clarity, richness, and innovation of his art. Showcasing dozens of carefully reproduced paintings and cut-outs, the book offers a panoramic view of one of modern art’s most influential figures. Tracing Matisse’s development from early naturalist studies to the luminous intensity of Fauvism and the radical simplicity of his late paper cut-outs, it follows his evolving approach to form, color, and composition.
Brief essays accompany approximately fifty emblematic works, offering new insight into the artist’s changing techniques and the contexts in which he worked. With colored edges, a printed cloth binding, and a design that reflects Matisse’s visual sensibility, the book is as visually compelling in its production as the works it presents.
Six major compositions — including Joy of Life, The Red Studio, The Dance, and The Sorrows of the King — appear as expansive map-style fold-outs, allowing readers to savor their ambition and detail in unprecedented depth. A vivid and layered portrait, this volume invites close attention to the artistic choices that shaped a career of continual reinvention.
The Primacy of Drawing
A definitive and comprehensive study of drawing, now entirely revised.
Drawing has always been an inseparable part of art-making, both as a distinct art form and a crucial step in many other creative visual practice. Yet, its role has faced increasing scrutiny in recent decades. The popularity of readymades, the endless possibilities of new technologies, and the idea of the artist as a performer have shifted attention away from traditional studies or sketches. Deanna Petherbridge's second edition of The Primacy of Drawing invites new perspectives on the practice, which she argues is central to "all aspects of cultural making and thinking."
Petherbridge begins by exploring ancient myths about the origins of drawing, then examines the contrasts between open-ended sketches and highly formalized studies, which together form a drawing continuum?graphic parameters within which artists continue to experiment. She also delves into the economy of drawing?its qualities of line and mark, and analyzes the strategies behind making, composing, and inventing drawn images. The teaching of drawing in academies has led to complex theories on copying, genre hierarchies, and expressive figure drawing. The manner in which satire, sexuality, and play develop compositional strategies reflects Petherbridge’s perspective as a teacher, deeply engaged with the hows and whys of visual thinking.
The Primacy of Drawing serves as both a much-needed history of the practice and a valuable resource for anyone interested in drawing.

Pairing meticulous sequencing with refined design and premium duotone printing, the book offers a focused and enduring portrait of the world's glaciers at a critical moment in their history.
Dokumentární divadlo
Dokumentární divadlo zažívá ve 21. století období velké popularity a rozvoje. Větví se a prolíná do jiných, tradičních i novátorských divadelních forem. Jeho popularita značně vzrostla asi hlavně proto, že člověk je v obří míře a ze všech stran ( v umění, v médiích, v politice ... ) atakovaný fabulacemi, falešnými zprávami a lhaním vydávaným za pravdu. Prahne tudíž po něčem, čemu lze věřit, co není podvod, ba ani fikce, co je pravda pravdoucí. 15 – „odrůd“ dokumentárního divadla, 38 příloh – reflexí konkrétních inscenaci a rozhovorů od zakladatele a emeritního šéfredaktora časopisu Svět a divadlo, zakladatele festivalů Divadlo i Ohromné maličkosti, občasného režiséra, řezbáře a skladatele říkanek. Na 222 stranách a téměř 50 fotografiích.
Obraz a kult
Kniha Hanse Beltinga Obraz a kult je jednou z nejdůležitějších knih v oblasti dějin umění. Představuje osobitý a dosud směrodatný pohled na dějiny evropské vizuální kultury napříč hranicemi aktuálních evropských států. Od svého vydání vyvolala širokou debatu o náboženských prožitcích tváří v tvář kultovním obrazům, která dalece přesahuje rámec vlastního tématu a stále není u konce.
Beltingovi se v této práci podařilo spojit dříve oddělené religionistické a historicko-umělecké pohledy v suverénní syntézu. Jeho kniha o umění zobrazování a moci křesťanského kultovního obrazu od pozdní antiky do 16. století hledá odpověď na zásadní otázku, proč mají právě tyto obrazy tak velkou moc a proč hrály nejen v tomto období tak klíčovou společenskou roli. Čtenáři také nabízí možnost porovnat dějiny obrazu a zobrazování na „Východě“ a na „Západě“.
V obsáhlé úvodní studii Ivana Folettiho je kniha zasazena do kontextu soudobého bádání a celospolečenského vývoje.
Devade
Devadesátky a architektura. Velké, však dosud přehlížené téma. Kniha DEVADE: Architektura Prahy mezi přísností a diskotékou je první publikací, která s odstupem a kritickým pohledem hodnotí pražské stavby první svobodné dekády po pádu komunismu. Éry formované přílivem zahraničního kapitálu, dlouho potlačovanými ambicemi českých architektů a architektek, dravým kapitalismem i nástupem světových starchitektů. Kniha představuje příběhy třiceti staveb z let 1989–2004, od ikonického Tančícího domu přes zatracovaný hotel Don Giovanni po zapomenutý archivní areál na Chodovci – bez předsudků i nostalgie. Ilustrují je dobové i současné snímky a expertní sondy do atmosféry doby, kdy architektura oscilovala mezi navázáním na tradici přísné meziválečné moderny a tehdy populární postmoderní rozjitřeností. Ukazuje se, že devadesátková architektura byla myšlenkově mnohem bohatší a stylově rozmanitější, než za jakou byla dlouho považována. A že nabízí klíč k pochopení polistopadové transformace hlavního města.

Brooke DiDonato: Take a Picture, It Will Last Longer
The debut monograph from the inimitable photographer, Brooke DiDonato, exploring the strangeness lurking behind the ordinary in everyday life.
Brooke DiDonato: Take a Picture, It Will Last Longer is a curated collection of Brooke DiDonato’s singularly surreal photography. Evoking feelings of nostalgia or disorientation, DiDonato’s work teeters between the familiar and the fantastical. Inspired by family homes in Ohio, her compositions challenge expectations of how space can be occupied. Torsos, legs, and arms contort into uncanny arrangements across sofas and ascend into attics. Ordinary surroundings often have a compelling presence?white picket fences, cornfields, deserts, and sidewalks become sites of unexpected psychological encounters as figures are subsumed by their environments. Her pictures are playfully titled?Growing Upward Has Its Downside, What to Expect When You're Expecting Nothing, and Went to Therapy but I’m Still in My Patterns?and poignantly touch upon contemporary anxieties and universal themes of love and loss.
This volume brings together her most well-known bodies of work, including A House is Not a Home, alongside new works published here in print for the first time. A short introduction from writer Eleanor Sutherland provides an overview of DiDonato’s practice, while an intimate conversation between Emmy award–winning filmmaker and writer Eve Van Dyke and Brooke's father, Bob DiDonato, offers a personal glimpse into her evolution as an artist.
A one-of-a-kind photographic experience, DiDonato's first monograph invites us into her beguiling world, daring us to stare a little longer.

Behind the Mirror
A USA TODAY BESTSELLERA look inside the TV show that watches you backIn a house designed for manipulation, paranoia, and power plays, sixteen strangers are cut off from the outside world—watched every second by cameras, judged by millions. Welcome to Big Brother. A show ahead of its time, it was once dismissed as fluff television. Now this voyeuristic reality show has quietly become a cultural juggernaut, capturing the rawest truths of human behavior while building an intense, obsessive fanbase along the way. But what are the costs of turning human lives into entertainment? What kind of psychological toll does it take to be put in isolation, under constant surveillance, in a perpetual state of suspicion?

Through years of live footage, online discourse, and controversial castings, this eye-opening book unpacks how Big Brother has shaped and exposed societal dynamics around race, gender, identity, power, and surveillance. It’s the story of a show that thrives in chaos and reveals a reflection of us all—ambitious, flawed, strategic, and deeply human. Whether you're a diehard fan or an unimpressed skeptic, Behind the Mirror will challenge what you thought you knew about reality TV. Because if you think Big Brother is just a game, you haven’t been paying attention.

The Duncan Method – Thinking Through Dance
The text by renowned dance teacher Eva Blažíčková explains dance as a unique artistic discipline which, through teaching using the Duncan Method, can develop not only into an independent creative activity, but also positively influence the formation of a person and their relationship to the world.
The author gradually introduces readers to the theoretical foundations of the Duncan Method and defines its current form, focusing on the key areas that shape it (Technique, Improvisation, Creation, The Art of Teaching). At the same time, she provides a detailed analysis of the differentiated qualities of movement. A significant part of the book is then devoted to didactic procedures and specific exercises that can be used in practice when teaching dance across age groups and types of schools.
The publication is written in sensitive, poetic-philosophical language and, with its broader scope, opens up more general questions of artistic education, the quality of existence, and the values that shape human society.
The whole is complemented by original drawings by the academic painter Vladimír Kokolia, which naturally accompany the reader through the landscape of Duncan's dance thinking.
