Kniha textů /eseje o umění/
Kniha textů o umění od architekta a fotografa Milana Pitlacha, jednoho z exulantů, kteří po vpádu sovětských vojsk bloudili rozvráceným světem podobně jako před čtyřmi sty lety čeští vzdělanci po bitvě na Bílé hoře, je jeho posledním odkazem rodné zemi. Texty v knize jsou přirozeně zaměřené na úvahy o architektuře – jeho profesi a povolání, a o fotografii – jeho hobby a prostředku uměleckého vyjádření. Na závěr jsou zařazeny některé jeho reflexe o vlastní práci. Pitlachovy eseje a glosy vynikající češtinou zachycují jeho univerzální, do šíře i hloubky zaostřený rozhled světem umění.
Z obsahu: Le Corbusier / Erich Mendelsohn / Alfred Neumann / Karel Prager / Nový romantismus - Jan Kaplický / Dvě architektury Petera Zumthora v Německu / Forum Nová Karolina v Ostravě / Sentimentální procházka Opavou / Alfred Stieglitz / Poezie Robinsona Jefferse a fotografie Minora Whitea / Jan Svoboda / Josef Koudelka - Chaos / Květoslav Přibyl

Slow Living
The concept of slow living translates architecturally into interior spaces that slow down the frenetic pace of modern life, whether at the seaside, in a country village or in the middle of a big city. They seek wellbeing in everyday life; they favour observation, enjoyment, reflection and calm. The interiors of these homes are an alternative to the urgency of modern life and are oriented towards simplicity, conscious consumption and the natural rhythm of things.
This book presents a selection of the work by architects and interior designers from around the world who seek through their work to create environments for an unhurried life.
Harry Gruyaert
New in the Photofile series, a mini-monograph on Belgian photographer Harry Gruyaert. Born in Antwerp in 1941, Harry Gruyaert was a pioneer of European colour photography in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1972, he created TV Shots, a series of images created by turning the dial on a television set at random and photographing the screen.
Later he travelled the world, seeking out different kinds of light and exhibiting a particular fascination with borders, interfaces and incongruous juxtapositions. A member of Magnum Photos since 1982, he describes colour as 'a means of sculpting what I see ... it's the emotion of photography.' Most recently he has begun to explore the experimental freedom offered by digital photography.
Autonomous, non-narrative and often witty, Gruyaert's images are complex encounters with colour and light.
Living in Tuscany. 40th Ed.
Under the burning Tuscan sun roll marvelous hills, vineyards, and olive groves-all postcard-perfect landscapes nestling centuries-old towns, rural villas, and contadino farmhouses. We've tracked down the best examples of such havens to paint a warm-hued picture of the look and feel of Tuscan living. Follow in Michelangelo's footsteps to the Eremo Santa Maria Maddalena, a medieval hermitage nestled in the steep Arezzo hillside. Take a dip in the California-style pool of Roberto Budini Gattai, the architect who turned a modest winegrower's house into a dazzling homage to David Hockney. Cool down in the tiled bedrooms of the Villa Villoresi, where, legend has it, Dante's wife took refuge during the poet's exile in the early 14th century. This collection gathers the region's most remarkable homes and interiors, complete with insightful captions and enthralling double spreads. Across contemporary architecture and traditional craftsmanship, minimal earthenware and decadent furniture, we discover all the natural tones and sun-kissed textures of Tuscany.
Josef Albers
Josef Albers' groundbreaking series Homage to the Square comprises roughly two thousand oil paintings. His continuous reflections and refinements for more than 25 years inspired numerous young minimal and conceptual artists in their search for a reduced formal language. This outstanding catalogue explores the secret of Albers' subtle aesthetic and unearths its preconditions: What is the significance of the square? How does his impression of color and its use as a material change during this period? Featuring studies on paper, archival materials, as well as essays by internationally leading Albers experts, Margit Rowell and Donal Judd, this richly illustrated publication sheds light on the various inspirations that influenced Albers early on in Europe and later in America, and illustrates the lasting impact of his art and thinking.
Egon Schiele - Paintings, Watercolours, Drawings
The monograph on Egon Schiele edited by Rudolf Leopold in 1972 forms the basis for Egon Schiele's world fame. This important document of art-historical literature has long been out of print, but it is now available once more in a revised edition with an updated catalogue raisonné. At the same time this magnificent volume provides an insight into the artist's life through letters, sketches and documents.
Rudolf Leopold recognised back in the 1950s Schiele's outstanding significance for art. He was largely responsible for ensuring that the artist received the place he deserved in art history and public awareness. The monograph presented Schiele's paintings, watercolours and drawings chronologically in large-format colour plates. It is complemented by a profound examination of his motifs, studies, sketches and documents and provides a comprehensive overview. The current edition pays tribute to Leopold's achievement.
Gregory Crewdson
Crewdson's epic photographic trilogy—a portrait of America a decade in the making
Over the past three decades, Gregory Crewdson has been fleshing out a portrait of middle America, an America gazing wide-eyed at the glimmers of a fading dream. His cinematographically staged photos have pieced together the fragments of a twilight world tinged with numbness.
This book brings together three bodies of work made between 2012 and 2022: Cathedral of the Pines (2012-14), An Eclipse of Moths (2018-19) and Eveningside (2021-22). Envisaged as a trilogy, they provide unique insight into a decade of creation and offer a comprehensive view of the universe that has positioned Crewdson as one of the major figures of contemporary photography. This trilogy is introduced by Fireflies (1996), a pivotal series for grasping the intimate undercurrents in Crewdson's work.
Gregory Crewdson (born 1962) is a graduate of SUNY Purchase and the Yale School of Art, where he is now the director of graduate studies in photography. His series Beneath the Roses is the subject of the 2012 documentary Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters. His work has been exhibited widely in the US and Europe. Crewdson is represented by Gagosian Gallery, New York.
Yokai
Celebrating Japan's unique print culture of monsters and ghouls
During the Pax Tokugawa—Japan's 300-year period of prosperity and peace from 1600 to 1900—epic tales about the wars of the past circulated and were adapted into spine-tingling games. One Hundred Candles, in which a group of friends swap scary stories on the eve of a full moon in the summer, is perhaps the most famous of the genre; legend dictates that the storytelling culminates in the appearance of a spirit. Yokai follows the spirit of this macabre game, sharing 200 works of Japanese mythological imagery from the 18th and 19th centuries. The book's collation of prints, books, clothes, weapons, swords, samurai armor, 77 precious netsuke and a 33-foot scroll coalesce into a portrait of Japan's storied—and sometimes spooky—past.
Artists include: Yoshu Chikanobu, Katsushika Hokusai, Eisen Keisai, Utagawa Kunisada, Kawanabe Kyosai, Tsukioka Settei, Kitagawa Utamaro, Utagawa Yoshitora and Utagawa Yoshitoshi.
Luna Luna
A landmark book documenting the first-ever art amusement park – launched in 1987 in Hamburg, Germany – in anticipation of its global reintroduction
In the late 1980s, more than 30 of the era’s most acclaimed artists – including Jean-Michel Basquiat, David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein, Salvador Dalí, and Keith Haring – designed unique and fully operational fairground attractions specifically for the original park, including rides, interactive sculptures, games, performances, and music.
Each artist’s contribution is documented in photographs that show the artist at work, with details of the artworks, and showing the art in the context of the exhibition. Giving access to rare artworks that have not been widely viewed in 35 years, this book is being published for the first time in English with an updated preface.
I Wanna Be An Influencer (Bilingual edition)
I wanna be an Influencer is a photographic journey that maps out the new geography of places based on the choices of influencers, a social category that has become an undisputed reference point over the last decade for marketing any type of product, from clothing to cosmetics, travel and new destinations.
The author particularly reflects on one of the aspects that characterizes tourism in the time of Instagram. Destinations that are already well-known or completely unknown become sought-after, inducing a mass of aspiring influencers to adopt the same poses and behaviour because and as long as they are Instagrammable.
A kaleidoscope of images, taken behind the scenes of a real community that aims for the immediate sharing of experiences in old and new "elsewheres" and of places whose meaning has changed. Unlikely poses and daring shots are captured by the author's attentive and amused eye. The photographs are accompanied by texts by experts in the field (Beatrice Avallone, Vincenzo Nocifora, Benedetta Donato), who analyse a phenomenon of our time, which we witness daily on the social network Instagram.
Living in Provence. 40th Ed.
Nestled in the south of France, bordering the Mediterranean Sea, is a land renowned for its lavender fields, fine cuisine, golden sun, and dreamy landscapes. The region of Provence has inspired such masters as Alphonse Daudet and Vincent van Gogh. So enthralled was Paul Cézanne by the Mont Sainte-Victoire that he immortalized it in a series of paintings. We enter his Provence studio, which still looks the same as it did over a century ago, as well as the house where Frédéric Mistral, 1904 Nobel Prize winner, lived and wrote. We also admire the wrought-iron staircase and embroidered curtains of the Hotel Nord-Pinus in Arles, which hosted the likes of Napoleon III, Jean Cocteau, and Picasso. Across picturesque villages perched atop rocky hillsides, quaint gardens filled with olive trees and the heady scent of lavender, tiled rooftop terraces and warm, ochre tones: this book gathers the region's most remarkable homes and interiors and paints a gorgeous picture of Provençal living.
Reclaimed
Bricks can be cleaned, timber hardens with age and metal develops a pleasing patina without deteriorating, making them all perfect for reuse. Yet every day more building materials are being manufactured from virgin resources. This inspiring book focuses on contemporary homes made with reused components or materials that might once have been considered waste. Divided into four key categories - brick, timber, metal and a range of materials constituted from waste - every home showcases design ingenuity and award-winning architecture.
Featuring 24 unique houses and apartments, from a barn-inspired house made entirely with reclaimed bricks to a semi-detached Edwardian with recycled benchtops and cabinets made from plastic chopping boards and bottle tops, every project shows what can be achieved with creativity and flair as clever design becomes more closely aligned with ethics and sustainability.
With advice on how to source existing resources and support a circular economy, Reclaimed is a valuable guide for anyone planning to build or renovate a stylish new home.

Worn
Linen, Cotton, Silk, Synthetics, Wool: through the stories of these five fabrics, Sofi Thanhauser illuminates the world we inhabit in a startling new way, travelling from China to Cumbria to reveal the craft, labour and industry that create the clothes we wear.
From the women who transformed stalks of flax into linen to clothe their families in nineteenth century New England to those who earn their dowries in the cotton-spinning factories of South India today, this book traces the origins of garment-making through time and around the world. Exploring the social, economic and environmental impact of our most personal possessions, Worn looks beyond care labels to show how clothes reveal the truth about what we really care about.

Prada: Príbeh ikonickej módnej značky
Unikátny obrazový sprievodca históriou módnej značky Prada
Milánska spoločnosť Prada bola až do roku 1978 známa svojimi luxusnými koženými výrobkami. Synonymom pre luxus sa stala až s príchodom vnučky zakladateľa. Miuccia Prada premenila firmu na globálne módne impérium, aké poznáme dodnes.
Kniha História módy do vrecka: Prada rozoberá vizionársku filozofiu značky, jej raketový vzostup aj medzinárodný vplyv. Skúma jej étos, ktorý je založený na neustálom spojení tradičných hodnôt a techník s prevratnými modernými trendmi.
Text módnej návrhárky a novinárky Laie Farranovej Gravesovej dopĺňa množstvo fotografií jednotlivých odevov z módnych prehliadok a sú poctou jednému z najvplyvnejších módnych domov na svete a jeho zakladateľke.

Hermes: Príbeh ikonickej módnej značky
Unikátny obrazový sprievodca históriou módnej značky Hermes
Príbeh slávneho módneho domu začal písať francúzsky sedlár a postrojár Thierry Hermes v roku 1837 v sedlárskej dielni. Jeho unikátna metóda šitia, vďaka ktorej držia stehy pevne pri sebe, aj keby jeden či dva povolili, sa pri výrobe kabeliek tejto značky používa dodnes.
Kniha História módy do vrecka: Hermes rozpráva o značke, ktorá spája majstrovstvo minulosti s eleganciou súčasnosti. Ikonické kabelky, typické oranžové škatuľky, fanúšikovia z radov prominentov – módne doplnky značky Hermes sú dnes synonymom luxusu a stali sa ozdobou šatníkov Grace Kellyovej, Jane Birkinovej, Victorie Beckhamovej či Cardi B.
Text uznávanej odborníčky na módu Karen Homerovej dopĺňa množstvo fotografií najžiadanejších výrobkov vrátane hodvábnych šatiek, legendárnych kabeliek Birkin a Kelly či záberov z prehliadkových mól.

Sběratel autogramů a vůbec správnej muž
Předmětem zájmu této knihy jsou vzpomínky a část sbírky autogramů Jana Slánského (1889–1981), správce Muzea Aloise Jiráska v Hronově, osoby v maximální možné míře aktivní ve veřejném životě, disponující v rámci svých možností rozsáhlou sítí společenských kontaktů a nepopíratelným kulturním rozhledem. Tyto vlastnosti byly navíc podmíněny a umocněny členstvím v místní sokolské jednotě a především prostředím Hronova, spojeného neoddělitelně s osobou spisovatele a jedné ze symbolických postav protirakouského odboje, Aloise Jiráska. Slánského sbírka autografů představuje svébytný a výjimečný dokument ilustrující osobní vztah svého tvůrce k českému protirakouskému odboji a vzniku Československa. Jako základní kameny domácí části české cesty vedoucí k 28. říjnu 1918 zřetelně vystupují Manifest spisovatelů z května 1917 a působení skupiny osob označovaných po skončení první světové války jako Maffie. Slánským aktivně přijímaný a čile rozvíjený narativ let 1914–1918 byl zcela v souladu s hlavním meziválečným výkladovým proudem reprezentovaným pracemi Edvarda Beneše, T. G. Masaryka, Jana Hajšmana, Milady Paulové apod.
Touch Wood: Material, Architecture, Future
Wood as the essential building material for the 21st century?ecologically, economically and technologically
Wood is the building material of the 21st century. Understanding this material and its potential requires us to recognize its ecological, technological and cultural-historical contexts. Touch Wood explores this potential, with inspiring examples?both practical and visionary?from the US, Japan, Austria, Norway, Switzerland and elsewhere.
Aimed at an engaged audience of both experts and laypersons who aspire to enrich their experiences with knowledge and thus become actors in the promotion of wood in architecture, this book documents various exemplary buildings in accessible texts and with numerous illustrations. Touch Wood also illuminates the many relationships that connect people with wood as a material. Authors from various disciplines supply a framework in which wood can be experienced sensually and its possibilities and limitations can be discussed.
