The History of Western Art


A concise, reader-friendly illustrated survey of Western art and architecture from prehistory to the present day. Acknowledging how architecture, painting, sculpture and the decorative arts reflect the culture and society of their time, this latest addition to the Art Essentials series invites the reader to experience and appreciate the entirety of Western art from prehistory to today. Focusing on the 'history' in art history, each of the twelve chapters opens with a question to ponder, followed by a summary of the major historical developments of the period, touching on social structure, political organization, migration, race, religious beliefs, scientific advances and customs. An exploration of these themes in the visual arts reveals how architecture, sculpture and painting simultaneously shape, reflect, and document the culture of the time and place they were created. A secondary focus explores the constantly evolving aesthetic preferences that swing between naturalism and abstraction, with each era and style either rebelling against the previous or seeking to improve it. Antecedents and outside influences are also discussed.

Sólová klavírní tvorba Bohuslava Martinů


Téma, které si autorka vybrala pro svůj výzkum, pokrývá klíčovou oblast české klavírní literatury. Soustavné zpracování sólového klavírního díla Bohuslava Martinů představuje rozsáhlý a náročný úkol. Autorka zvolila vhodnou strategii, založenou zejména na faktu, že je sama zdatnou pianistkou. Ve své studii prokazuje schopnost širokého záběru a rozsahu svého zkoumání. Volí obtížnou, ale užitečnou cestu: představuje hudební dílo jakoby z ptačí perspektivy, komplexně a v duchu doby, v níž autor žil, s ohledem na proměny a vlivy, které jeho životní dráhu tvarovaly. Vychází přitom z poznatku, že klíč k pochopení díla samotného často tkví v pochopení okolností, které ke vzniku díla vedly.

Art Is Life


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.

Backstage


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!

The Philosophy of Modern Song


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.

Set the Night on Fire


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.
