Ilustrovaný příběh umění
Tato kniha je úchvatnou vizuální cestou, během které zažijete povznášející sílu umění. Seznámíte se s pracemi více než 700 umělců a na kvalitních ilustracích si prohlédnete nejen 2500 jejich děl včetně těch nejzásadnějších, nejznámějších či klíčových z hlediska daného hnutí, směru, období nebo samotného tvůrce, ale i různé technické detaily a další zajímavé podrobnosti.
Umění se neustále vyvíjí. Od okamžiku, kdy prehistoričtí umělci začali zdobit své jeskyně, malíři pořád hledali nové způsoby, jak zobrazit svět kolem sebe. Někdy ostatní vede do neprobádaného uměleckého území osamělý génius – někdo jako Giotto, Leonardo či Picasso. Jindy zkoumají nový styl nebo myšlenku skupiny podobně naladěných malířů a vytvoří tak celé umělecké hnutí. Tato kniha sleduje v plné šíři rozvoj nejvýznamnějších uměleckých hnutí, od prvních zdrojů inspirace až po mimořádná mistrovská díla, jimiž jejich sláva vrcholí.
Počínaje zásadním klíčovým okamžikem – obrazem, který udával směr celého hnutí nebo ztělesňoval mnohé z jeho charakteristických rysů – jsou zde zkoumány nejrůznější další vlivy, ať už je to chemik, který namíchá zcela nový pigment, archeolog, jenž odkryje zapomenutý poklad, nebo umělecký mecenáš, který zpochybňuje stávající zvyklosti. V širším smyslu mají vliv i zásadní společenské a politické události. Francouzská revoluce inspirovala jak neoklasicistní, tak i romantické malíře, vynález knihtisku vedl k intenzivnější výměně myšlenek v době renesance a šíření železnic umožnilo cesty do nových lokalit a změnilo způsob, jímž tvořili impresionisté.
Bohatě ilustrované časové osy osvětlují jednotlivá významná umělecká hnutí přehledněji než kdy dříve. Zásadní díla, která stála za změnami směřování ve výtvarném umění, se zde představují poprvé, včetně zhodnocení jejich původu a vlivu. Nejslavnější mistrovská díla jsou propojena s životy umělců a soudobými událostmi, aby tak vypověděla příběh malířství v jeho úplnosti. Poznejte umění ze zcela nové perspektivy.

Architecture
A groundbreaking history of architecture told through the relationship between buildings and energy
The story of architecture is the story of humanity. The buildings we live in, from the humblest pre-historic huts to today's skyscrapers, reveal our priorities and ambitions, our family structures and power structures. And to an extent that hasn't been explored until now, architecture has been shaped in every era by our access to energy, from fire to farming to fossil fuels.
In this ground-breaking history of world architecture, Barnabas Calder takes us on a dazzling tour of some of the most astonishing buildings of the past fifteen thousand years, from Uruk, via Ancient Rome and Victorian Liverpool, to China's booming megacities. He reveals how every building - from the Parthenon to the Great Mosque of Damascus to a typical Georgian house - was influenced by the energy available to its architects, and why this matters.
Today architecture consumes so much energy that 40% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions come from the construction and running of buildings. If we are to avoid catastrophic climate change then now, more than ever, we need beautiful but also intelligent buildings, and to retrofit - not demolish - those that remain. Both a celebration of human ingenuity and a passionate call for greater sustainability, this is a history of architecture for our times.
Totally Wired
A raucous yet reflective look back at the evolution of the music press and the passionate rock and pop journalists who defined the music of the 20th century. Totally Wired is the definitive story of the music press on both sides of the Atlantic, tracing the rise and fall of the creatively fertile media sector which grew from humble beginnings nearly 100 years ago to become a multi-billion business that tested the limits of journalistic endeavour. Covering the music press's evolution from the 1950s to the 2000s, through rock & roll, Mod, the Summer of Love, Glam, Punk, Pop, Reggae, R& B and Hip Hop, Paul Gorman chronicles the development of individual magazines from Tin Pan Alley beginnings and the countercultural foundation of Rolling Stone, the underground press and the 70s heyday of NME, Melody Maker and Sounds.
Illuminated by the author's first-hand interviews, Gorman paints a complete picture of the scene exploring the role played by such writers as Lester Bangs, Charles Shaar Murray, and Nick Kent in the development of the careers of the likes of David Bowie, The Clash, and Led Zeppelin, and tackling head on the entrenched sexism and racism faced by women and people from marginalized backgrounds by shining a spotlight on those publications and individuals whose contributions have often been unfairly overlooked. Evoking the music press's kaleidoscopic visual identities, Totally Wired is illustrated with rare and legendary magazine artwork throughout. What emerges is a compelling narrative containing conflicting stories of unbound talent, blind ambition, and sometimes bitter rivalries which make Totally Wired a rollercoaster and riveting read.
What is Black Art?
A landmark anthology on British art history, bringing together overlooked and marginalized perspectives from 'the critical decade'
What is Black art? This vital anthology gives voice to a generation of artists of African, Asian and Caribbean heritage who worked within and against British art institutions in the 1980s, including Sonia Boyce, Lubaina Himid, Eddie Chambers and Rasheed Araeen. It brings together artists' statements, interviews, exhibition catalogue essays and reviews, most of which have been unavailable for many years and resonate profoundly today. Together they interrogate the term 'Black art' itself, and revive a forgotten dialogue from a time when men and women who had been marginalized made themselves heard within the art world and beyond.
Marta Cerda Alimbau: Type to Image
The first book published on the work of Marta Cerda, ‘Type to Image’ explores how the Spanish designer blurs the boundaries between typography and illustration.
Type to Image by Marta Cerda Alimbau explores how the celebrated designer blurs the boundaries between typography and illustration. While Cerda’s style is strongly eclectic, she believes that the separation of these two disciplines into specialised activities is a limitation. Instead, she opts for a multi-disciplinary approach that brings functional beauty and emotion to her unique design work.
Since 2008, she has worked on a host of global projects which call for art direction, design, illustration and custom typography for arts, culture and advertising clients in her native Barcelona and abroad.
It's All About Shoes
"Suzanne's fashion image are beautiful, bold and often strange. They perfectly capture the sartorial way of life on the runway of streets." - Amateur Photographer
Shoes are part of the basic equipment of our everyday wardrobe. They can be seen as a utilitarian necessity, or as a unique and joyful fashion accessory that influences the entire outfit and makes it a distinctive expression of personal style, be it vintage or avant-garde, elegant or edgy, minimalist or extravagant. In It's All About Shoes, street style photographer Suzanne Middlemass presents a colourful mix of fab and fantastic shoes that are worn on the asphalt catwalks of the fashion capitals of the world, including New York, Paris, Milan, London, Berlin, and Copenhagen. This revised edition includes interviews with renowned shoe designers and asks them about design inspiration and sustainability.
Newton, Riviera
Helmut Newton was in his sixties and already a well-established photographer when he and his wife moved to the French Riviera. At an age when many people would consider retirement, Newton instead plunged headfirst into one of the most prolific and liberating stages of his career.
The city of Monaco was the perfect backdrop for his fashion photography, and it also provided him with a wealth of subjects for his famous portraits, including the stars of the Ballet de Monte-Carlo and the Princely Family. And it was in Monaco that Newton finally tried his hand at landscapes. While this volume focuses primarily on the years 1981 to 2004, it also looks at Newton's historic links with the Cote d'Azur and the area around Bordighera, Italy. There are essays by a range of experts in photography, film, and art and three interviews, including one with Paloma Picasso.
In these remarkable photographs readers will discover the French Riviera through Newton's fascinated, slightly ironic lens: a way of life characterized by ease and elegance; a world dominated by appearance and superficiality; and a veritable living theater, in which he was both actor and privileged member of the audience.
Building for Change
Architects are adapting existing buildings to create new spaces for a more conscious future. The urban fabric changes more slowly than our spatial needs, accelerated by digital technologies and new lifestyles. The trick for canny architects lies in an ingenious reuse and creative recycling that result in the stunning transformation of existing buildings for new purposes. Building for Change explores this architecture of reuse and adaptation. It presents sofa factories turned coworking hub, viaducts turned community garden, department stores turned cultural center, and other inspiring projects. The book also showcases spaces that are designed to be dismantled and repurposed down the line. This architecture of care is aspirational and ambitious: to make construction more sustainable and buildings fit for the future.

Children of the World
A joyful and poignant collection of photographs of children from around the world by internationally renowned and award-winning photographer Mario Marino. This homage to the future of humanity (and our planet) captures the laughter and joy of children, but also their insecurities and fears. The sense of trust between the subject and the photographer is evident, as if they had known each other for years. The photographs are imbued with this gift of trust, and of mutual respect, resulting in images that are moving, often humorous, and always eloquent. The internationally renowned and award-winning photographer Mario Marino has been travelling the world with his camera for several decades and has long been considered a luminary in the field of portrait photography. His previously published books of portrait photography from Africa and India have won several prizes. "Empathy and instinct is key to my work. I try to read people's lives, the circumstances in which they live. I am fascinated by their cultural background and identity." - Mario Marino

The Hidden Language of Symbols
A stimulating narrative and reference resource that guides the reader through the most significant symbols from worldwide art history.
Why do we reach for the red rose on Valentine's day? Where did the owl gain its reputation for wisdom? Why should you never trust a fox? In this visual tour through art history, Matthew Wilson pieces together a global visual language enshrined in art: the language of symbols.
Symbols exert a strong hold in the image-saturated 21st century, and have done so for thousands of years. From national emblems to corporate logos and emojis, our day-to-day lives abound with icons with roots in the distant past. Expert art historian Matthew Wilson traces the often surprising trajectories that symbols have taken through history, from their original purposes to their modern meanings, identifying the common themes and ideas that link seemingly disparate cultures. Thus we meet the falcon as a symbol of authority from the ancient Egyptian pharaohs to the medieval aristocracy; the dog as stalwart companion from the classical era to the Renaissance; and the mythical phoenix as a symbol of female power connecting a queen in England with a goddess in China. We also see moments of radical reinterpretation and change: the transformation of the swastika from an auspicious symbol of hope to one of hate.
From Palaeolithic cave paintings to contemporary installations, Wilson deftly guides us through this world of symbols, showcasing their enduring ability to express power, hope, fear and faith, and to create and communicate identities, uniting - or dividing - the people that made them.
The World According to Alexander McQueen
'When times are hard, fantasy and escapism are crucial' Alexander McQueen
Having grown up in London's East End, Alexander McQueen left school at 15 to become a tailor's apprentice on Mayfair's Savile Row. At 22, he joined the prestigious MA course at Central Saint Martins and, after presenting his 1992 graduate collection (bought on the spot by influential fashion stylist Isabella Blow), went on to change the course of fashion.
McQueen was defiant in his opinions on creativity ('Give me time and I'll give you a revolution'), women ('I design clothes because I don't want women to look all innocent and naive ... I want people to be afraid of the women I dress') and craft ('You've got to know the rules to break them. That's what I'm here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition'). He drew much of his inspiration from the natural world ('I have always loved the mechanics of nature and to a greater or lesser extent my work is always informed by that') and consistently challenged perceptions of beauty ('People find my things sometimes aggressive. But I don't see it as aggressive. I see it as romantic, dealing with a dark side of personality').
This attractive book in an accessible format is the perfect gift for fans of fashion and Alexander McQueen, capturing the wit and spirit of a true visionary.
Nino Cerruti
"Fashion is balance, with a dash of theatre," was Nino Cerruti's favourite bon mot. This monograph, the most substantial on him to date, is an entertaining and gorgeously illustrated homage to the great Italian fashion designer, whose deconstructed jackets and supple fabrics revolutionised menswear in the 1960s. He took over the family business, which his father established in 1881, at the age of 20 and immediately began to make his mark.
In 1965 he opened a boutique in Paris where he launched women's fashion, being the first designer to focus on pants (this at a time when many restaurants in Paris denied women entry if they were wearing pants). He dressed generations of movie stars, both on and off screen, including Jean-Paul Belmondo, Yves Montand, Catherine Deneuve, Richard Gere (wearing a Cerruti suit in Pretty Woman), Jack Nicholson, Michael Douglas, Tom Hanks, and Kathleen Turner, among others. This book showcases the elegant nonchalance and uncompromising creativity that went into his designs and follows his career as one of the great pioneers of 20th century fashion.
No Signal
Between 2015 and 2020, photographer Brice Portolano travelled from the islands of Alaska to the Patagonian steppe and from the forests of Lapland to the highlands of Iran to capture the daily lives of 10 extraordinary people who made profound changes in their lives in order to live closer to nature. They consciously built a life away from the hustle and bustle of the city, usually without a phone signal or internet access. Their lives are arduous, but also full of a sense of personal freedom, self-determination, and fulfilment. These photographs present an inspiring vision of the joys of finding one's place in the world and the challenges of living off the grid.
In these 10 vivid portraits of alternative lifestyles, we meet: Tinja, the dog sled driver in Lapland; Ali, the Persian horseman; Barny, the self-supporter in a circus wagon in Cumbria, England; Zaya, the reindeer herder in the Mongolian taiga; George, the hostel father in Tuscany; Sylwia, the artist on the Greek island of Lefkada; Sky, the Argentinean goucha; Ben, the hunter in Utah, USA; Jerry, the oyster farmer in Alaska; Elena, the lighthouse keeper in Norway.

Sculptures
Monografie mapuje tvorbu významného představitele generace českých sochařů, která na uměleckou scénu vstoupila na začátku jednadvacátého století. Lukáš Rais (1975) jako základní materiál používá železo, staré cisterny, kovové stojany lamp, ale hlavně nejrůznější trubky a roury. Ryze užitkové předměty proměňuje – a v podstatě recykluje - do podoby monumentálních soch a objektů, které se stávají součástí veřejného prostoru, architektury i krajiny. „Mají v sobě zakódováno něco, co je blízké i lidem, kteří jinak současné umění, zvláště abstraktně zaměřené, nevyhledávají. Především jsou však krásné,“ zamýšlí se v knize kritik umění Petr Volf. Jedinečné sochy jsou zachyceny na fotografiích Salima Issy a autorem grafická podoby publikace je Anna Issa Šotolová.
Verdi a Wagner na slovenských operných javiskách
Príčiny rozdielnej recepcie Giuseppe Verdiho a Richarda Wagnera na Slovensku – veľkej a trvalej obľúbenosti svetovo najhrávanejšieho talianskeho operného skladateľa Verdiho i „neobľúbenosti“ nemeckého velikána Wagnera.
Skladateľ Giuseppe Verdi bol celoživotnou láskou teatrológa Ladislava Čavojského (1932 – 2014), ale úctu mal aj k tvorbe Richarda Wagnera. Z jeho vzťahu k týmto dvom velikánom sa zrodila kniha o ich tak odlišnom opuse, a zároveň aj kniha o ich operách na slovenských javiskách. Autor v nej porovnáva život i dielo talianskeho a nemeckého skladateľa a vychádzajúc z cudzích i vlastných kritík inscenácií ich diel načrtáva obraz vývoja operného umenia na Slovensku v uplynulom storočí. Ladislav Čavojský vždy vedel zaujať neopakovateľným jazykom, humorom aj schopnosťou získať si čitateľa svojím nadšením pre scénické umenie. Tieto vlastnosti charakterizujú aj jeho poslednú knihu, ktorú však už nestihol dokončiť.
Jeho zámer naplnil a chýbajúce časti doplnil operný kritik Vladimír Blaho, nedokončený rukopis Ladislava Čavojského na vydanie pripravila dcéra Ladislava Čavojského, Katarína Ducárová.

The Watch Book
Volume II of The Watch Book follows on the successful and comprehensive earlier volume with a magnificently illustrated book about the additional functions and refinements of wristwatches. For centuries, so-called "complications" - any feature of a mechanical timepiece beyond the display of hours, minutes and seconds - have embodied the crowning glory of fine mechanical watchmaking. Among the earliest of these are alarm clocks and calendar movements. Moon phase displays have also been known for several centuries. Striking movements can be considered among the most complex and technically elaborate additional functions, while finishing techniques such as skeletonising, which is mainly done by hand, also characterise the high art of watchmaking. This superbly illustrated volume by watch expert and historian Gisbert L. Brunner is dedicated to advanced functions of mechanical timepieces, their historical development and special technical features. Topics covered in this book include: Hands and numerals; Spring; Astronomical display (moon phases etc.); Tides; Double balance; Alarm clock; Altitude/depth measurement; Skeletonisation.
101 Design Classics
With expert analysis, great photography, and a huge selection of familiar and unusual objects, this book explains what truly makes a design great and reveals the hidden stories behind the everyday things that surround us. The author, a writer and journalist specialising in design, has chosen 101 objects that have had a major influence on the world of design history, delving into the makers, the designers, and developments in production and style that made these pieces into design classics. The text incorporates design sketches, portraits of many well-known and some unknown designers, as well as numerous exciting anecdotes from the sewing box of design history.The selection of designers includes, but is not limited to, legends such as Charles & Ray Eames, Verner Panton, Alexander Girard and other protagonists of classical modernism. Also here are post-war designers such as Finn Juhl, Gilbert Rohde, Pierre Paulin, and Gae Aulenti, and postmodern and contemporary designers such as Philippe Starck, Marcel Wanders, and Konstantin Grcic. This book provides an in-depth and informative overview of 20th-century design - and a glimpse of the first true classic objects of the 21st century.
