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.

Jens Quistgaard
The first authoritative monograph on the life and work of the celebrated Danish-American designer Jens Quistgaard – an unsung hero of Danish Modern and Mid-century Modern design
Jens Quistgaard (1919–2008), considered one of the founders of Scandinavian Modern style, spent 30 years as chief designer at the American company Dansk Designs, resulting in more than 4,000 products. His design philosophy – that utilitarian, everyday items should function harmoniously – influenced his approach to everything from spoons and pans to crockery and pepper mills, and is as relevant today as it was half a century ago.
Quistgaard’s work is represented at major museums in Europe and the USA, including Design Museum Denmark, MoMA, New York, and the British Museum, London, with many of his designs still in production to this day. With never-before-seen sketches, archival photography, case studies, ephemera, and an illustrated inventory of his designs, this book delves deep into Quistgaard’s life and work to reveal his critical contribution to design history.
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.

Velazquez
A comprehensive, illustrated portrait of Diego Velázquez’s life and art examining all his major works.
Diego Velázquez (1599–1660) was one of the towering figures of Western painting and Baroque art, a technical master renowned for his focus on realism and startling veracity. Everything he painted was treated as a portrait, from Spanish royalty and Pope Innocent X to a mortar and pestle. In this comprehensive introduction to Velázquez’s life and art by Richard Verdi, the artist’s major works are discussed along with most of his surviving output of approximately 110 paintings. Velázquez’s greatest innovation, his unorthodox and revolutionary technique, is explored in relation to his most-celebrated contemporaries both in Spain and beyond, including Titian and Peter Paul Rubens. Velázquez concludes with a final chapter on the influence and importance of Velázquez’s art on later painters from the time of his death to the art of recent times, including Francisco Goya, Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon, and the Impressionists. 150 illustrations
Wedgwood: Craft & Design (Victoria and Albert Museum)
A beautifully designed gift book devoted to the work of the renowned ceramics firm Wedgwood, which has thrived from 1759 to the present day.
Looking back at key moments in Wedgwood’s design history, this book celebrates the manufacturer’s visual power and great design from its founding in 1759 to the present day.
The name Wedgwood has come to stand for something far beyond its illustrious and energetic founder: it has united art and industry; introduced design and artistic collaborations; and pioneered the development ofthe firm’s iconic blue-and-white jasperware. This book tells that story through design, reflecting the continuing role that Wedgwood and its designers, artists, and employees have played in setting trends?including collaborations with many British artists and designers such as Christopher Dresser, Eric Ravilious, and Keith Murray. Wedgwood continuously responds to the market and produces high-quality, desirable ceramicsfor a broad range of consumers, yet remains faithful to the traditions established by Josiah Wedgwood in the eighteenth century.
The book presents highlights from the internationally renowned V&A Wedgwood Collection, praised by the Art Fund?one of the UK’s leading art organizations?as “one of the most important industrial archives,” containing around 80,000 objects. This archive reflects the unique proposition of Wedgwood’s business: by operating in both the “ornamental” and “useful” markets, Wedgwood has been able to bring innovative ceramic design to a broad and increasingly international clientele. These ceramics and their stories demonstrate the artistic heritage, craft, and innovation that have become synonymous with the Wedgwood name for more than 250 years.

Into the Groove
The story of recorded sound – the technological developments, the people that made them happen and the impact they had on society – from the earliest inventions via the phonograph to LPs, EPs and the recent resurgence of vinyl.
While Thomas Edison's phonograph, the first device that could both record and reproduce sound, represented an important turning point in the story of recorded sound, it was really only the tip of the iceberg, and came after decades of invention, tinkering and experiment.
Into the Groove tells the story of the birth of recorded sound, from the earliest serious attempts in the 1850s all the way up to the vinyl resurgence we're currently enjoying. This book celebrates the ingenuity, rivalries and science of the modulated groove.
Vinyl collector and music buff Jonathan Scott dissects a mind-blowing feat that we all take for granted today – the domestication of sound. He examines the first attempts to record and reproduce sounds, the origin of the phonograph, and the development of commercial shellac discs. Later he moves through the fascinating story of the LP record, from the rise of electric recording to the fall of 7-inch vinyl, the competing speed and format wars, and an epilogue that takes the story up to the present-day return of vinyl to vogue.
Into the Groove is the story of the science of sound – the technological developments, the humans that made them happen and the impact they had on society. It uncovers tales of intrigue and betrayal, court battles and lesser-known names who are often left out of most histories. Read this book, and find a new appreciation of the not-so-simple black disc that holds a special place in the history of music and sound.

The Fantastic Gustave Doré
This glorious, authoritative, and unprecedented retrospective of Doré’s prints and paintings, drawn from an oeuvre of more than 10,000 works, comes in a spectacularly ornate package that reflects the artist’s own dramatic style.
If you were a consumer of literature in the nineteenth century, chances are the volumes in your library featured the illustrations of Gustave Doré.
From the Bible to Shakespeare, Balzac to Milton, Cervantes to Poe, Doré’s intricate, romantic, and exuberant drawings brought great works to life, and were as treasured as the stories and poetry they depicted. Furthermore, as this magnificent book reveals, he was also a skilled sculptor, painter, and cartoonist.
This book spans Doré’s entire career, with chapters dedicated to specific works such as The Divine Comedy, Don Quixote, Tennyson’s Idylls of the King, and medieval fairy tales—each featuring exquisite full-page reproductions that allow Doré’s genius for line, shading, and texture to shine through. The authors also provide a background on the techniques that Doré employed to achieve his exquisite works. Fans of Doré will appreciate this volume’s spectacular production, which features quarter binding, gold foil stamping, embossing on the cover and spine, a belly band, and silkscreen printing on three edges.
Filled with incisive analysis and expert historical perspectives, this book is the consummate collector’s item—a volume as expansive and sensational as the artist himself.
Otevřít Venuši
Křesťanská pokora či zatracení, sadismus či metamorfózy pohanských témat: s pomocí analýzy čtyř deskových maleb Sandra Botticelliho, ilustrujících jednu Boccacciovu povídku, odhalíme, jak se u tohoto velkého malíře nahota splétá s krutostí a krása s neklidem, přičemž jeho dílo čerpá své základní postupy ze snu a z fantasmatu.
Díky erudovaným exkursům do dobových teoretických i literárních textů francouzský filosof a historik umění Georges Didi-Huberman poukazuje na něco, co označuje jako „hybridní charakter“ italské renesance. Na její charakteristické propojování vysokého a nízkého, ideality a tělesnosti, kterému ovšem neuniká ani Botticelliho Venuše. Ba právě naopak, slavný akt Zrození Venuše se Didi-Hubermanovi stává východiskem reflexe a záminkou k polemice s tradičním pojetím tohoto obrazu jakožto ztělesnění „ideální nahoty“, oproštěné od jakýchkoli tělesných konotací. Vlastní smysl teoretického gesta je „otevření Venuše“. Slavný akt se otevírá nejrůznějším dobovým referencím, které velkou měrou komplikují představu Botticelliho jako idealistického umělce. V exemplární podobě je toto otevření předvedeno prostřednictvím konfrontace Zrození Venuše a enigmatické sérii čtyř obrazů, nazvané Příběh Nastagia degli Onesti, na níž je lidské tělo naopak zcela doslova otevřeno, tj. rozpáráno, a předvedeno ve své fyziologické „beztvarosti“.
