Revolučná herecká teória, ktorú vypracoval Stanislavskij a rozvinul Strasberg , významnou mierou ovplyvnila súčasné herecké umenie. Svojej knihe zasvätil Strasberg posledných desať rokov života, aby v nej raz a navždy vysvetlil, v čom Metóda vlastne spočíva a ako funguje, a aby rozpovedal príbeh jej vzniku a ľudí, ktorí sú s ňou spätí. Výsledkom je majstrovské dielo plné múdrosti a rád pre každého, kto sa pohybuje v oblasti divadla. „ Povinné pre mladých hercov, vlastne aj pre tých starých „ Paul Newman

Jerry Saltz is one of our most-watched writers about art and artists, and a passionate champion of the importance of art in our shared cultural life. Since the 1990s he has been an indispensable cultural voice: witty and provocative, he has attracted contemporary readers to fine art as few critics have. An early champion of forgotten and overlooked women artists, he has also celebrated the pioneering work of African American, LGBTQ+, and other long-marginalized creators. Sotheby's Institute of Art has called him, simply, “the art critic.” Now, in Art Is Life, Jerry Saltz draws on two decades of work to offer a real-time survey of contemporary art as a barometer of our times. Chronicling a period punctuated by dramatic turning points—from the cultural reset of 9/11 to the rolling social crises of today—Saltz traces how visionary artists have both documented and challenged the culture. Art Is Life offers Saltz’s eye-opening appraisals of trailblazers like Kara Walker, David Wojnarowicz, Hilma af Klint, and Jasper Johns; provocateurs like Jeff Koons, Richard Prince, and Marina Abramović; and visionaries like Jackson Pollock, Bill Traylor, and Willem de Kooning. Saltz celebrates landmarks like the Obama portraits by Kehinde Wiley and Amy Sherald, writes searchingly about disturbing moments such as the Ankara gallery assassination, and offers surprising takes on figures from Thomas Kinkade to Kim Kardashian. And he shares stories of his own haunted childhood, his time as a “failed artist,” and his epiphanies upon beholding work by Botticelli, Delacroix, and the cave painters of Niaux. With his signature blend of candor and conviction, Jerry Saltz argues in Art Is Life for the importance of the fearless artist—reminding us that art is a kind of channeled voice of human experience, a necessary window onto our times. The result is an openhearted and irresistibly readable appraisal by one of our most important cultural observers.

Egy hely a város közepén. Egy hely, ahol az év nagy részében fesztiválfeelinged lehet. Egy hely, ahol profi a fény- és hangtechnika, hatalmas a színpad, remek a hangulat. Egy hely, ahol a zenészek akkor is örömmel töltenek időt, ha nincs koncertjük. Egy hely, ahol a stáb családként működik. De legfőképpen: egy hely, ahol a valóságot bármikor bátran a kerítésen kívül hagyhatod. EZ A BUDAPEST PARK! Tíz évvel ezelőtt, a Zöld Pardon bezárása után néhány lelkes fiatal gondolt egy nagyot, és olyan rendezvényhelyszínt képzeltek el a városban, amely képes betölteni a hatalmas arénás koncertek és az alkalmi fesztiválok közötti űrt, és tavasztól őszig színpadot teremt a magyar és külföldi zenei élet szereplőinek. Az elmúlt tíz évben az elképzelés valósággá vált, s mára a Budapest Park fogalommá, illetve a zene- és szórakoztatóipar megkerülhetetlen tényezőjévé vált. Éld át újra ezt a tíz évet a látványos felvételeket nézegetve és a kortárs könnyűzene szereplőinek személyes élményeit olvasva! Légy részese a kalandnak, merülj el a parkos életérzésben!

In Instanton, photographer and filmmaker Anton Corbijn presents a series of images, most of which have never been published previously. Corbijn gained his fame and reputation with his portraits of famous figures including Nick Cave, Tom Waits, The Rolling Stones, Marlene Dumas, Gerhard Richter, Clint Eastwood, Kate Moss and a host of other influential musicians, artists, filmmakers, models and designers. But over the years, Corbijn has also captured a wealth of intriguing images on his mobile phone. Instanton brings together a wide selection of these snapshots from his private life, as well as shots taken whilst travelling, recording 'the profane and the profound'.

The Philosophy of Modern Song is Bob Dylan's first book of new writing since 2004's Chronicles: Volume One--and since winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016. Dylan, who began working on the book in 2010, offers his extraordinary insight into the nature of popular music. He writes over sixty essays focusing on songs by other artists, spanning from Stephen Foster to Elvis Costello, and in between ranging from Hank Williams to Nina Simone. He analyzes what he calls the trap of easy rhymes, breaks down how the addition of a single syllable can diminish a song, and even explains how bluegrass relates to heavy metal. These essays are written in Dylan's unique prose. They are mysterious and mercurial, poignant and profound, and often laugh-out-loud funny. And while they are ostensibly about music, they are really meditations and reflections on the human condition. Running throughout the book are nearly 150 carefully curated photos as well as a series of dream-like riffs that, taken together, resemble an epic poem and add to the work's transcendence. In 2020, with the release of his outstanding album Rough and Rowdy Ways, Dylan became the first artist to have an album hit the Billboard Top 40 in each decade since the 1960s. The Philosophy of Modern Song contains much of what he has learned about his craft in all those years, and like everything that Dylan does, it is a momentous artistic achievement.

"Csak az a szamuráj tudja ellátni csatlósi teendőit, aki az egyik vállán a hűség és a gyermeki kötelesség, a másikon a bátorság és az irgalom nehéz terhét cipeli éjjel-nappal."

Few bands are as shrouded in the murky haze of rock mythology as The Doors, and parsing fact from fiction has been a virtually impossible task. But now, after fifty years, The Doors' notoriously quiet guitarist is finally breaking his silence to set the record straight. Through a series of vignettes, Robby takes readers back to where it all happened: the pawn shop where he bought his first guitar; the jail cell he was tossed into after a teenage drug bust; his parents' living room where his first songwriting sessions with Jim Morrison took place; and the many concert venues that erupted into historic riots. Both a time capsule of the 1960s counterculture and a moving reflection on what it means to find oneself as a musician, Set the Night on Fire is a must-read for Doors fans and an essential volume of American pop.

Brian May, creator of the 21st-century incarnation of the London Stereoscopic Company, became an Internet evangelist for 3-D photography during the recent lockdown period, and fired up a whole new community of stereoscopists, all sharing their 3-D pictures on Instagram. For this book, we put out an invitation to this global community to send us their stereoscopic memories of life during the Covid Years. The range of subjects in these entirely new stereo pictures is immense, with more than 100 contributing photographers finding inspiration in Nature, people, pets, architecture, the sky above, and much more. This book is set to become a lasting testament to the evocative power of 3-D photography.

A century of classic vampire cinema--in posters, stills and artwork--from Murnau to True Blood and beyond This visual feast celebrates classic vampire cinema--mainstream and niche--through the many colorful ways in which the key films have been marketed and consumed. F.W. Murnau's haunting film Nosferatu had its premiere in Berlin in March 1922. Bram Stoker's widow, Florence, tried hard to sue the production company for breach of copyright but had to settle in the end for a court order to destroy all prints and negatives. The film kept resurrecting, though, and is now considered the first, and one of the greatest, of all vampire movies--the founder of a dynasty of prints of darkness. The bloodline has spread from Nosferatu to Hollywood's Dracula and progeny (1931-48); from Hammer's Dracula/Horror of Dracula and sequels (1958-74) to versions of Sheridan Le Fanu's story "Carmilla" and other lesbian vampires (1970-2020); from the bestselling novels 'Salem's Lot and Interview with the Vampire to vampires who have shed their capes, hereditary titles and period trappings to become assorted smalltown oddballs, addicts, delinquents, psychopaths, rednecks, fashionistas, gay icons, comedians and even comic-book heroes (1975-2022). This book is dripping with stills, posters, artworks, press books--many of which have not seen the light of day for a very long time--and is authored by cultural historian and connoisseur of the Gothic Christopher Frayling, who has been called "the Van Helsing de nos jours." Christopher Frayling (born 1946) is a recognized authority on Gothic fiction and horror movies. His study Vampyres (1978, 1990, 2016) and his classic four-part television series Nightmare: The Birth of Horror (1996) have helped to move Gothic horror from margin to mainstream. He is the author of Frankenstein and Once upon a Time in the West.

Whether it's diamond-encrusted grills, oversized “truck” style chains, bust-down Rolex and Patek Philippe watches or a Tiffany necklace, jewelry is a cornerstone of hip-hop culture. Glittering, blinged-out jewels are the shining statement of a collective identity: unapologetic, charismatic, and street savvy. Spanning the history of hip-hop jewelry, from the 1980s to today, Ice Cold: A Hip-Hop Jewelry History is a stunning compilation of storytelling and visuals. Hundreds of extraordinary images of every major hip-hop artist on record celebrate how “Ice” has become a proclamation of identity and self-expression. Starting with Run-DMC’s gold Adidas pendants and Eric B. & Rakim’s ostentatious dookie rope chains and Mercedes medallions, the jewelry then transforms from street style into a booming design culture. The hip-hop tradition of “show up and show out” reaches new heights with artists like Pharrell Williams, Jay-Z, Gucci Mane, and Cardi B, whose over-the-top pieces integrate unique pop culture references, unconventional materials, and enduring collaborations with artists like Takashi Murakami. Author Vikki Tobak reveals – in great detail – the work of pioneering jewelers such as Tito Caicedo of Manny’s, Eddie Plein, and Jacob the Jeweler as well as newer artisans such as Avianne & Co., Ben Baller/IF & Co., Greg Yuna, Johnny Dang, Eliantte, and many more. Ice Cold is a treasure trove of dazzling, inspirational style, featuring the work of leading photographers, including Wolfgang Tillmans, Janette Beckman, Jamel Shabazz, Timothy White, Gillian Laub, David LaChapelle, Danny Clinch, Chris Buck, Mike Miller, Phil Knott, Raven B. Varona, Al Pereira, Albert Watson and many more. A foreword by hip-hop superstar Slick Rick and essays by A$AP Ferg, LL COOL J, Kevin “Coach K’ Lee and Pierre “P” Thomas of Quality Control Music take us on personal journeys into their jewelry universe. Ice Cold goes beyond the ostentatious bling to reveal a transformative story that is loud and proud.

Phaidon presents Palace Product Descriptions: The Selected Archive, the official printed archive of Palace Skateboard's online product descriptions. Since their debut in 2013, Palace's unconventional descriptors - which often have little or nothing to do with the product being described – have earned a cult following, with readers hooked on every line. Authored by Palace co-founder, Lev Tanju, whose inimitable style essentially tore up the copywriting rulebook, the descriptions are full of humour, pathos, social commentary and unabashed opinion. Eschewing practical details, instead a jacket is described as: TRENDSETTER DON'T THINK SO MATE YOU LOOK LIKE YOU MOONWALKED THROUGH TOPSHOP WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED COVERED IN GLUE Collected here for the first time and printed as they appear online - a few lines set in all caps, formatted as a series of bullet points – the more than 3,000 descriptions are organised into 22 tongue-in-cheek categories, including Anatomy, Animals, Etiquette, Philanthropy, Romance and Travel. The text is interspersed with shots of highly coveted Palace products and chapter openers feature candid, behind-the-scenes images from Palace's archive. At once jokey toilet book and earnest coffee-table opus, this funny and honest volume serves as an essential record of an online phenomenon.

A deep dive into the creative world and personal archive of the master of horror Clive Barker, from Hellraiser and Candyman to today"I've seen the future of horror . . . and his name is Clive Barker." In the mid-1980s, Stephen King inducted a young English novelist into the world of great genre writers, and since then, this genius creator has only continued to expand his field of activity. Created by his two most loyal collaborators, Phil and Sarah Stokes, Clive Barker's Dark Worlds is the first book to shed light on the massive scope of Barker's creative work. With the help of Barker himself, this book contains exclusive insight from those who have worked with him creatively and professionally, alongside analyses of his works and comments over four decades from industry contemporaries and friends such as Ramsey Campbell, Quentin Tarantino, Neil Gaiman, China Mieville, Peter Straub, Armistead Maupin, J.G. Ballard, Wes Craven, and many more. The book spans Barker's world, highlighting classics such as the character Pinhead, an icon in the pantheon of horror cinema; the Hellraiser series of ten films and a forthcoming HBO miniseries; and the cult films Nightbreed and Candyman, the latter of which was rebooted as a Jordan Peele production in 2021. In literature, Barker has written the horror anthology series Books of Blood, which was recently adapted by Hulu, as well as numerous fantasy sagas. Weaveworld and The Great and Secret Show have become instant genre classics, and Abarat is a beloved bestselling series for young adults. In the world of comics, Barker has partnered with major publishers such as Marvel and BOOM! Studios. This tireless creator has also dipped his toes into the worlds of toys, video games, and art, and his incredible collection of paintings, drawings, and photographs have been exhibited in galleries over the world.

If street art is, in itself, an act of rebellion, it is tragically ironic that the genre seems dominated by men. This exciting book is an important first step in shedding light on the substantial number of women who are gaining fame in the street art world. It brings together the work of 24 artists, through dazzling photographs of their work and intimate portraits of their lives based on interviews collected by award-winning journalist Alessandra Mattanza. On walls, sidewalks, prison cells, grain silos and other nontraditional canvases, these artists tackle ideas around empowerment, feminism, the pink revolution, body shaming and body imagery, racism, and the climate crisis. From Oklahoma City and Brooklyn, Tatyana Fazlalizadeh makes site specific work that considers how people experience race and gender within their surrounding environments. South African multidisciplinary artist Faith XLVII imbues her narratives with a longing for a deeper connection to nature, and a resurrection of the divine feminine. Italy's Camilla Falsini incorporates joyful, bold colors and simple shapes to deliver serious messages about the environment. Shamsia Hassani, one of Afghanistan's first female street artists, makes vibrant murals and paintings in which women play musical instruments as a vehicle for self-expression. Bursting with colorful photographs of works in situ as well as in detail, this thrilling and incisive book proves that street art is not only female-it's the essence of conceptual rebellion itself.

The real history of photography is a vast collection of inter- connected stories stretching from East Asia to West Africa, from New Zealand to Uzbekistan. It parallels acknowledged greats with forgotten masters, and lesser-known works with regional champions. It is a complex interplay of fine art, scientific, anthropological, documentary, and amateur traditions forged by women and men alike. Drawn from the extraordinary Solander Collection, this pioneering, alternative history of photography is based on principles of diversity and democracy, allowing famous works to be seen with fresh eyes, and giving more obscure works the platform they deserve. Images by Robert Frank, Diane Arbus, Man Ray, Ansel Adams, and Edward Weston are seen alongside those of Helen Stuart and John Lindt, early, self- trained practitioners Lady Augusta Mostyn and Major Francis Greeley, and African studio photographers Sanle Sory, Michel Kameni, and Malick Sidibe. It contains many rarities and "firsts" and spans photography's early decades with linchpin works by Sir John Herschel, William Henry Fox Talbot, Hippolyte Bayard, and Julia Margaret Cameron. Contemporary in outlook, visually captivating, and with contributions from leading curators and photo historians, this book will prove essential reading for those looking for an introduction to the field, as well as informed readers looking for more complete knowledge.

Internationally renowned dealer and market expert Michael Findlay offers a lively and authoritative look at the financial and emotional value of art throughout history. In this newly revised, updated, and generously illustrated edition Findlay draws on a half-century in the business and a passion for great art to question and redefine what we mean by "value," addressing developments in this conversation since the book was first published in 2012: the rise of NFTs and digital art; the auction house as theatre; the pressing relationship between art and society's fraught political landscape; and the impact of the pandemic. With style and wry wit, Findlay demystifies how art is bought and sold while also constantly looking beyond sales figures to emphasize the primacy of art's essential, noncommercial worth. Coloring his account with wise advice, insider anecdotes involving scoundrels and scams, stories of celebrity collectors, and remarkable discoveries, Findlay has distilled a lifetime's experience in this indispensable guide, now updated for today's sophisticated and discerning audience.

Syn zámožného advokát Filipa Messera a Berty, rozené Heim; oba byli židovského původu a německého jazyka. V roce 1900 se M. přestěhoval do Budapešti a nechal si úředně změnit příjmení na „Meszlény“, od r. 1902 studoval na zdejší univerzitě filologii, v r. 1908 tu obhájil práci věnovanou dílu H. W. von Gerstenberg. V letech 1909–14 žil ve Švýcarsku – nejprve v Bernu, poté v Ženevě (z této doby pochází několik jeho knižních monografií a především série statí publikovaných zejména v berlínském časopise Die Grenzboten), v r. 1912 se habilitoval na ženevské filozofické fakultě. Po vypuknutí války načas zakotvil v Poznani a redigoval tu časopis Aus dem Posener Lande, během r. 1915 musel narukovat. V r. 1917 byl vojenské povinnosti zproštěn a začal vyučovat na obchodní akademii v Pozsony/Pressburgu. V r. 1918 vyšla konečně knižně první část jeho monografie o Carlu Spittelerovi (Karl Spitteler und das neudeutsche Epos). V poválečné Bratislavě zůstal zakotven až do r. 1922; podílel se na provozu místního Uměleckého spolku, v r. 1920 vydával měsíčník Das Riff. V r. 1922 se stal lektorem němčiny na pražské české filozofické fakultě, rok nato se tu neúspěšně pokusil o habilitaci, pokračoval nicméně v práci lektora. Zásadní platformu našel už v té době v deníku Prager Presse, kam přispíval texty o literatuře, avšak postupně především o aktuální kunsthistorické či výtvarněkritické produkci. Do roku 1940 M. spojil síly také s redakcemi několika dalších periodik – nejvýrazněji s časopisy Kunst für Alle, Svobodný zednář, Forum, Dílo a Filosofická revue, v roce 1938 vyšel knižně jeho diptych Jak se dívat na obrazy a Jak se dívat na sochy. Válku přežil, k transportu do Terezína nastoupil až v únoru 1945. I po válce vyučoval na pražské filozofické fakultě, v textech publikovaných do r. 1948 se zabýval zejména evropskou lyrikou, měl pravděpodobně v plánu vydat další větší rilkovskou práci, na což nedošlo. Poslední lektorské kurzy si odbyl v r. 1958. Kniha je v první řadě výborem z textů Richarda Messera (Meszlénye/Meßlenyho). Většinu jich publikoval německy, a protože texty jsou ponechány v původním znění (a na tom základě pouze edičně upraveny), výsledná antologie je dominantně německojazyčná. Vzniklý korpus, čítající větší stati i drobné recenzní glosy, má vybídnout k zevrubnějšímu – byť průřezovému – seznámení s okruhy témat, jimž M. věnoval pozornost, má být příležitostí k nahlédnutí jedné specifické intelektuální dráhy, v jejích konkrétních artikulacích a dis/kontinuitách. Jednu z dlouholetých linek M. záběru otevírá hned úvodní stať věnovaná dílu C. Spittelera. Jeho eposy se mu staly středem úvah o spektru epických žánrů a možnostech eposu v moderním literárním diskurzu, v těchto souvislostech se zabýval také dramatickou tvorbou J. W. Goetha a Ch. F. Hebbela, prozaickými novinkami „mladých Švýcarů“ a později také dílem R. M. Rilka; provázanost látky a určité (totiž švýcarské) státně-politické idey sledoval v knize Tell-Probleme. Švýcarské prostředí mocně stimulovalo také M. interes o výtvarné umění, který se přelil i do pokusů výtvarněkritických či kunsthistorických, soustředěných zejména k pracím F. Hodlera, G. Giacomettiho a C. Amieta. V těchto dvou vrstvách se M. psaní pohybovalo i po další desetiletí, s převahou druhé z nich v letech první republiky, resp. až do r. 1940, z něhož pochází poslední text našeho výboru. Po druhé světové válce de facto M. coby výtvarný kritik/historik umlká, vraceje se k fascinaci dílem Rilkovým – ovšem v obecnějším kontextu pojmu moderní lyriky. Zvláštní složku utváří několik textů programních, v nichž M. exponoval svou pozici kulturněpolitickou: z nich byla do výboru zařazena dvojice textů z období tajemnického působení v bratislavském Uměleckém spolku (1919), dále stati Die wirtschaftliche Verantwortung (1921), Wege zur Einheit (1924), Kaserne rechts, die Kirche links, die Maurer in der Mitte (1930) a Ziele und Wege (1936).
