Michael Kenna: Forms of Japan


A rocky coast along the Sea of Japan; an immense plain of rice fields in the snow; Mount Fuji towering over misty wooded hills; silent temples devoid of people but brimming with Buddhist deities; a Torii gate mysteriously emerging from moving clouds and water-these are a few images from this remarkable collection of photographs by Michael Kenna, whose black-and-white work is highly renowned. Forms of Japan, brilliantly designed by Yvonne Meyer-Lohr, is organized into chapters simply titled, "Sea," "Land," "Trees," "Spirit," and "Sky." The quietly evocative photographs, often paired with classic haiku poems of Basho, Buson, Issa and others, provide a contemplative portrait of a country better-known for its energy and industry. Gorgeously reproduced to convey the enormous subtleties that exist in Michael Kenna's traditional black-and-white silver prints, the photographs in this book include both well-known and previously unpublished images from all corners of Japan: Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, Okinawa and Shikoku.

Pivo za císaře pána


Říká se, že pivo je český národní nápoj. A žádné jiné řemeslo nesouviselo v minulosti tak významně s hospodářským a politickým vývojem českých zemí jako pivovarství. Ale jak se pivo dříve vařilo? Jaké dnes již zaniklé profese se s ním pojily? Kde se scházeli proslulé pivní společnosti? Kniha fotografa a majitele rodinné sbírky starých fotografií Pavla Scheuflera představuje pivní kulturu z pohledu fotografů časů monarchie, počínaje od sklizně chmele, přes proces výroby a zrání, až po pivní radovánky. Jednotlivé fotografie doprovází autor poutavými příběhy, které starým snímkům vdechují život.

Banksy


The largest presentation of works by Banksy, the world’s most enigmatic yet highly sought-after artist, including iconic works, installation objects, ephemera, and memorabilia all in one volume. Banksy is the world’s most discussed artist of recent decades, and this seminal collection features hundreds of works including Girl with Balloon, Pulp Fiction, Love Is in the Air, Barcode, and Monkey Queen. It also includes scores of paintings, serigraphs, stencils, and installation objects as well as a selection of memorabilia—many of which have never been published previously. Created with the cooperation of Pest Control, the group that manages all things Banksy, this is as official and authorized as any Banksy publication could be. Banksy is the world’s greatest practitioner of street art. His work has always been political, involving pointed critiques of inequality, injustice, consumerism, and the establishment, yet no one knows his identity. He is an exemplary case of fame and notoriety built upon absence and anonymity. His relationship with the art market is also complex: marked by mocking hostility while being one of the most marketable and most collected contemporary artists.

Kameny Objekty


Katalog Suška Kameny / Škoda Objekty vychází ke stejnojmenné výstavě Michala Škody a Čestmíra Sušky konané v Zámku Troja od 6. dubna do 3. října 2022. Michal Škoda pracuje s maximálně redukovanými tvary, které v prostoru hybridně expandují a nepřipomínají tak klasické stereometrické útvary. Působí jako objekty odvozené z futuristické architektury nebo schránky ukrývající nějaké magické tajemství. Vedle toho se intenzivně zabývá kresbou, která je plošným vyjádřením prostorových rozvrhů sledovaných v objektech. Vedle minimalistického tvarosloví je důležitou výrazovou složkou jeho prací užití černého monochromu nebo jednoduchého kontrastu černé a bílé. Čestmír Suška svou práci často definuje skrze materiál. V současnosti stojí pevnýma nohama v nové etapě, která je svázána s kamenem. Perforované cisterny jsou minulostí a odebírání hmoty z kamenného bloku představuje zcela opačný sochařský postup, který vyžaduje nejen řemeslo a flexibilní vnímání kvality kamene, ale nesmí zároveň dojít k ohnutí původní koncepce budoucího díla.

Movement


We take it for granted that the streets outside out homes are designed for movement from A to B, nothing more. But what happens if we radically rethink how we use these public spaces? Could we change our lives for the better? Our dependence on cars is damaging our health - and the planet's. The Dutch seem to have the right idea, with thousands of bike highways, but even then, what happens to pedestrians or people who want to cycle at a more leisurely pace? What about children playing outside their homes? Or wildlife, which enriches our local areas? Why do we prioritise traffic above all else? Making our communities safer, cleaner, and greener starts with asking the fundamental questions: who do our streets belong to, what do we use them for, and who gets to decide? Join journalist Thalia Verkade and urban mobility expert Marco te Broemmelstroet as they confront their own underlying beliefs and challenge us to rethink our way of life to put people at the centre of urban design. But be warned: you will never look at the street outside your front door in the same way again.

A Coffee a Day


Cafés, coffeehouses, and coffee shops around the world supply us with energy and lift our spirits every day.

Old Becomes New


How can homes be upgraded to meet today’s demands – from living comfort to energy efficiency and digital requirements? How can the fusion of the historic and the new be used as a design element?

Since the initial situation is documented for each of the presented projects, the reader can clearly understand the redesign process.

Hivatásos rajongó - Történetek színházról, pályatársakról


Gálvölgyi János már gyerekként is megszállottan lelkesedett a színházért: szenvedélyes autogramgyűjtőként ünnepelt színészekkel elegyedett szóba a művészbejáróknál, betéve tudta a Pesti Műsorban megjelenő szereposztásokat, és rendszeres látogatója volt a Madách Színház előadásainak. Rajongása akkor is megmaradt, amikor már ő maga is országosan elismert színművész volt. A HVG 360-on megjelent beszélgetések alapján készült könyvben, a Hivatásos rajongóban, Gálvölgyi János Kövesdi Péterrel beszélget a színházi élményeiről, szinkron- és tévés szerepeiről, a haknikról, a hajdanvolt nagy pályatársakról és a méltatlanul elfeledett epizódszereplőkről. Beszámol mestersége buktatóiról és szakmai barátságokról, csakúgy, mint az emlékezetesebb sértődésekről, konfliktusokról. Személyes történetei az egykori színházi, filmes és tévés világ magával ragadó hangulatát varázsolják elénk, méltó emléket állítva egy egész színészgenerációnak.

Renoir. 40th Ed.


Pierre-Auguste Renoir's (1841-1919) timelessly charming paintings still reflect our ideals of happiness, love, and beauty. Derived from our large-format volume, the most comprehensive retrospective of his work published to date, this compact edition examines the personal history and motivation behind the legend. Though he began by painting landscapes in the Impressionist style, Renoir found his true affinity in portraits, after which he abandoned the Impressionists altogether. Though often misunderstood, Renoir remains one of history's most well-loved painters-undoubtedly because his works exude such warmth, tenderness, and good spirit. In an incisive text tracing the artist's career and stylistic evolution, Gilles Neret shows how Renoir reinvented the painted female form, with his everyday goddesses and their plump contours, rounded hips and breasts. Renoir's later phase, marked by his return to the simple pleasure of the female nude in his Bathers series, was his most innovative and stylistically influential, and would inspire such masters as Matisse and Picasso. With a complete chronology, bibliography, photos, sketches, and brilliant reproductions, this is the essential work of reference on this enduring master artist. About the series TASCHEN is 40! Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible publishing, helping bookworms around the world curate their own library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia at an unbeatable price. Today we celebrate 40 years of incredible books by staying true to our company credo. The 40 series presents new editions of some of the stars of our program-now more compact, friendly in price, and still realized with the same commitment to impeccable production.

(Nothing But) Flowers


An opulent, joyful homage to the many ways of painting flowers, from Charles Burchfield to Amy Sillman “Flowers are always working in the service of the passage of time,” writes Helen Molesworth in the opening pages of (Nothing but) Flowers. “In all of the paintings in this book where flowers are depicted, innocently standing in their vases, the minor gestures of gathering, arranging and display can be seen as a verb list dedicated to world-building.” This clothbound volume gathers paintings of flowers by more than 50 artists from Charles Burchfield to Amy Sillman, Joe Brainard to Lisa Yuskavage, who have explored the perennial appeal of this richest and yet simplest of subjects. (Nothing but) Flowers demonstrates the capacity of the humble botanical motif to capture sorrow, stimulate rehabilitation, and guide us through periods of mourning, celebration and rebirth. Writers Hilton Als, Helen Molesworth and David Rimanelli contribute meditations on the many resonances of flowers in art. Artists include: Gertrude Abercrombie, Marina Adams, Henni Alftan, Ed Baynard, Nell Blaine, Dike Blair, Vern Blosum, Joe Brainard, Cecily Brown, Charles Burchfield, Matt Connors, Andrew Cranston, Ann Craven, Stephanie Crawford, Somaya Critchlow, Verne Dawson, Lois Dodd, Peter Doig, Nicole Eisenman, Ida Ekblad, Minnie Evans, Marley Freeman, Jane Freilicher, Mark Grotjahn, James Harrison, Lubaina Himid, Samuel Hindolo, Reggie Burrows Hodges, Max Jansons, Ernst Yohji Jaeger, Sanya Kantarovsky, Alex Katz, Karen Kilimnik, Zenzaburo Kojima, Matvey Levenstein, Shannon Cartier Lucy, Calvin Marcus, Helen Marden, Jeanette Mundt, Soumya Netrabile, Woody De Othello, Sanou Oumar, Jennifer Packer, Nicolas Party, Hilary Pecis, Richard Pettibone, Elizabeth Peyton, Amy Sillman, Elaine Sturtevant, Tabboo!, Honor Titus, Uman, Susan Jane Walp, Stanley Whitney, Jonas Wood, Matthew Wong, Albert York, Manoucher Yektai and Lisa Yuskavage.
