Vermeer - The Rijksmuseum's forthcoming major exhibition catalogue


Published to accompany the once-in-a-lifetime exhibition at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, this is the first major study of Vermeer’s life and work in many years. Johannes Vermeer’s intensely quiet and enigmatic paintings invite the viewer into a private world, often prompting more questions than answers. Who is being portrayed? Are his subjects real or imagined? What is shown on the map on the wall? What news does a letter bring? Seemingly unaware of the viewer, each subject?the milkmaid,the guitar player, the girl with a pearl earring?occupies an intimateand private space. Vermeer’s paintings, with their enigmatic interiors and masterful handling of natural light, bring us into a closed, internal world, but with many tantalizing points of contact with the outside world. What details do we know of Vermeer’s personal life? How did it affect his painting style? This is the first major study of Vermeer’s life and work for many years, bringing together diverse strands of his professional and private life in Delft in the seventeenth century and examining important research that has revealed new ways of looking at his paintings. Accompanying a major exhibition at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, this volume sheds light on every one of Vermeer’s known paintings, thirty-five in all, with a wide selection of contextual illustrations, commentaries, and up-to-date research by the most distinguished international Vermeer scholars. Vermeer will be required reading for lovers of the most admired of all Dutch seventeenth-century painters and one of the world’sgreatest artists. 200 color illustrations

Peter Konwitschny. Bojovník proti mŕtvej opere


Celoživotnou, konzekventne napĺňanou umeleckou ambíciou nemeckého operného režiséra Petra Konwitschného (1945) je boj proti iluzívnemu opernému divadlu, ktoré nazýva mŕtvou operou. Vo svojich koncepciách kriticky reflektuje patriarchálne usporiadanie sveta, závislosť modernej civilizácie od matérie, jej povrchný spôsob života a z neho vyplývajúci rozvrat morálnych hodnôt, ktorý sa odráža v deformovaných rodinných či partnerských vzťahoch. Na príklade troch desiatok inscenácií, ktoré režisér naštudoval na európskych javiskách i v Slovenskom národnom divadle, autorka monografie skúma Konwitschného ideové východiská a ich pretavenie do konkrétnych, pre režiséra charakteristických divadelno-výrazových princípov. Komparáciou vybraných inscenácií formuluje tematické okruhy Konwitschného tvorby, ktoré poukazujú na jeho ideový a estetický program. Monografia popri analýze režisérovho rukopisu prispieva aj k poznaniu všeobecných princípov súčasnej opernej réžie.

Svetová dráma na slovenských javiskách


Ladislav Čavojský (1932 – 2014) patril ku generácii prvých vysokoškolsky vyštudovaných slovenských divadelných vedcov. Jednou z konštantne prítomných línií v jeho výskume boli analýzy uvádzania inonárodnej drámy do nášho kultúrneho kontextu. Čavojského pohľad na túto oblasť bol literárny aj divadelný, teda komplexný a poučný nielen pre historikov, dejiny literatúry a divadla, ale aj pre prax, pre režisérov, hercov i dramaturgov. Kniha prináša výber štúdií týkajúcich sa udomácňovania dramatickej spisby Shakespeara, Moli?ra, Goldoniho, Goetheho, Gogoľa, Ostrovského a Ibsena na Slovensku a rozbory jej súdobého inscenovania. Túto obsahovú os určil sám autor. Aktualizovať, dopísať po súčasnosť svoje staršie texty, žiaľ, už nestihol. Napriek tomu sú cennými zdrojmi pre štúdium dejín slovenského divadla.

Monet: The Essential Paintings


This magnificent boxed-set features stunning, accordion-fold, color reproductions of Monet’s essential works, accompanied by a separate booklet with background and descriptions of each painting. Fans of Impressionism will delight in seeing some of their favorite works presented in generously sized accordion fold pages, which bring Monet’s representations of nature to exquisite life. Arranged chronologically, this volume helps readers appreciate the achievements of a long and fruitful career. Natural beauty, color and light were the object of Monet’s incessant research, and he never lost sight of what was essential to him – the truth of his sensations. From the faithful transcription of the landscape in his early days to the gestural drawing of the final water lilies at Giverny, this book allows us to follow and understand the evolution of his creativity. The themes of Monet’s work (the seashore, the Seine, gardens, the seasons) are discussed, as well as the techniques he used, such as the decomposition of light and color through the brushstroke; the use of repetition and series to better reflect atmospheric variations; and the progressive dissolution of forms, which led to him being considered the precursor of abstraction. Packaged in an elegant slipcase, this volume reflects the beautiful artistry and timeless traditions that are embodied in the artworks themselves.

Warhol - The Textiles


The first publication devoted to the textile designs of one of the twentieth century’s greatest artists, showcasing a rarely discussed aspect of the Pop Art superstar’s career. Andy Warhol (1928–1987), a giant of twentieth century art, is known to most people for his iconic images of soup cans, Coke bottles, and Marilyn Monroe. Before his meteoric rise to fame in the early 1960s as a Pop Art superstar, Warhol was a highly successful commercial artist in New York. The late Matt Wrbican, former chief archivist of the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, once said “there are very few stories left to tell about Warhol, but textiles is one of them”. This is the first book devoted to the commercial textile designs of this leading figure in the history of art. With stunning new photography throughout, including unpublished images of newly discovered textiles, the book sheds new light on a previously undocumented but important aspect of Warhol’s oeuvre. Featuring over 30 different textiles, from ice cream sundaes to acrobatic clowns, Warhol: The Textiles offers a unique record of the beginnings of one of the twentieth century’s greatest artists. Published in association with the Fashion and Textile Museum

Julius Shulman. Modernism Rediscovered


The buildings burned in our memories, which to us represent the spirit of ’50s and ’60s architectural design, were those whose pictures were widely published in magazines and books; but what about those that got lost in the process, hardly or never appearing in publication? The exchange of visual information is crucial to the development, evolution, and promotion of architectural movements. If a building is not widely seen, its photograph rarely or never published, it simply does not enter into architectural discourse. Many buildings photographed by Julius Shulman suffered this fate, their images falling into oblivion. With this book, TASCHEN brings them to light, paying homage to California Modernism in all its forms. The abandoned files of Julius Shulman show us another side of Modernism that has stayed quiet for so many years. Bringing together nearly 300 forgotten masterpieces, Modernism Rediscovered pays tribute to these lesser known yet outstanding contributions to the modern architectural movement. It’s like sneaking into a private history, into homes that have rarely been seen and hardly appreciated as of yet.

AAM AASTHA: Indian Devotions


A festival of Indian folk rituals and costumes bursting with colour, captured by renowned photographer Charles Freger, the creator of a distinctive and powerful new genre of portrait photography. Internationally renowned photographer Charles Freger continues to explore global traditions and cultures, by celebrating the powerful visual aspects of Indian folk culture and religious ritual. India is the home to a myriad of local traditions, legends and religions, each with their own festivals, rites and rituals. Celebrations burst with vivid colours and often wildly exuberant costumes, some representing gods and goddesses, others legendary heroes from Sanskrit epics such as the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. In Charles Freger's photographs, those who honour local cultural traditions are represented in single or group portraits, represented against carefully chosen landscapes and backdrops, from the heart of festivals and celebrations. Freger's unmistakable style of portraiture allows us to admire the complexity of their adornments - masks and headdresses, costumes and body paint - and to consider the abundance of imagination that expresses India's countless stories and characters, both human and divine. This spectacular gathering of warrior figures, deities, musicians, tigers, mahouts, epic characters and their avatars is accompanied by texts setting the huge variety of eclectic costumes in context, and describing the local festivals and rituals. This compelling sequence of new portraits will enthral those with an interest in folk traditions, as well as the followers of this internationally acclaimed photographer.

Krása českých hřbitovů - Pod křídly andělů


Básník Filip Skoumal o své fotografické prvotině říká: „Když jsme šli s matkou v roce 2021 zapálit svíčku tátovi na Nový židovský hřbitov Olšany, při krásné cestě podél stromů mne okouzlily půvabné stíny a židovské hrobky, které jsem si začal fotit. Byl jsem fascinován neviditelnou něhou a klidem, které na mě v těchto místech v onom chladném podzimu působily. Od té doby objíždím další a další české hřbitovy, na kterých hledám klid, inspiraci, ale i romantiku. To vše jako básník potřebuji k životu.“

Praha beatová


V druhé polovině 50. let přišel do Prahy rock'n'roll. Následujících několik desetiletí, maskován termínem big beat (který posléze zmutoval v libozvučnou českou verzi bigbít), významně ovlivňoval kulturní život v metropoli. Až tak, že bychom těch několik dekád mohli – s jistou nadsázkou – nazvat big beatovým věkem, tak jako swingovou éru nazýváme věkem nylonovým. Praha big beatová nabízí „Magical Mystery Tour“ po pražských lokalitách spojených ve druhé polovině 20. století (s mírným přesahem za rok 2000) s rockovou hudbou. Navštívíme kluby, sály, kulturáky, máničkovské hospody, otevřené byty i zkušebny. Vypravíme se za Bosou hlavou i Plechovým dědečkem, na rock'n'roll půjdeme do Merkuru i na Rokosku, na metal do Barikádovny. Odkryjeme tajemství popelářské bedny před New Clubem a uvnitř okusíme proslulou leteckou limonádu. A pak skončíme na hřbitově, jako ostatně všichni.
