Keramika Ivett Axamitová


Veľkorysá monografia autora Jozefa Jurinu, nám približuje život a dielo IVETT AXAMITOVEJ. Keramikárka, ktorá na slovenskej výtvarnej scéne pôsobí už viac ako 30 rokov, nám približuje súlad krásy, vznešenosti a duchovna. Veľmi citlivo nás vťahuje do jej tvorby a nákazlivo sa prihovára našej duši. Ľudská duša patrí do okruhu námetov, ktoré výtvarničku zaujímajú, ktoré analyzuje, obmieňa a stvárňuje v rôznych podobách. Oscilácia medzi konkrétnym a abstraktným výrazom otvára jej tvorbe bohaté možnosti improvizácie, použitím farby a materialu v silnej emócii pôsobenia diela v priestore. Prostredsníctvom monografie nám autor približuje ženu voňajúcu hlinou. Kompozíciu farieb, jemných dotykov a nespútanosť bujnej fantázie. Pec, v ktorej dielo začína svoj život, svoju existenciu. Prihovára sa nám samotná hlina, ktorá hovorí o úmysle tvorcu. Autor nám odovzdáva jasné svedectvo, ktoré všetci potrebujeme. V hline je základ našej existencie. V tomto pochopení tkvie úspech ženy voňajúcej hlinou

Experimentální dílna


Fotograf a režisér Jiří Jeníček, který stál ve 30. letech v čele armádní filmové skupiny, se celou svou osobou a v duchu moderních myšlenek o využití filmu a fotografie zasadil o nový styl a výraz vojenského (především krátkého) filmu. Armádní kinematografii od počátku považoval za synonymum experimentální dílny. Jak si všímá autorka publikace, americká filmová historička Alice Lovejoy, která vedla téměř desetiletý výzkum v českých archivech, pozoruhodné je především to, jak Jeníčkem vytvořená institucionální identita přežívala v armádním prostředí další tři desetiletí. Citelná byla dokonce v 50. letech a skutečnou renesanci zažila v letech 60., kdy se Československý armádní film (ČAF) stal pravděpodobně nejsvobodnějším prostorem pro filmovou produkci v Československu. Kniha, poprvé publikovaná v USA v roce 2015, si pokládá zásadní otázku: Jak se mohly formální experimenty (které navíc zpravidla kritizovaly samotné vojsko či stát) objevit v instituci tak rigidní, jako je armáda.

Lacná kniha Martin Augustín: Zrkadlo duše (-16%)


Výpravná, bohato ilustrovaná publikácia Zrkadlo duše mapuje vyše tri dekády výtvarnej tvorby a života slovenského výtvarníka Martina Augustína (nar. 1968). Ako sám umelec tvrdí, „hranica medzi životom a výtvarnou tvorbou neexistuje“. Aj preto kniha nie je koncipovaná ako tradičná akademická monografia, ale ako púť časom, počas ktorej sa zlomky poznania skladajú do obrazu estetiky krásy. Listovanie v nej chce navodiť atmosféru príjemných posedení pri rannej káve u Augustína, počas ktorých vznikali spomienky a úvahy, keď autor, kunsthistorik a publicista Ľudovít Petránsky s výtvarníkom hľadali dušu Augustínových obrazov a pátrali po všetkom, čo zanechalo odtlačok v umelcovej mysli, duši i srdci. Monografia venovaná tvorbe Martina Augustína vznikla a vychádza po prvýkrát a okrem priaznivcov samotného umelca či súčasného slovenského umenia vôbec má ambíciu osloviť každého obdivovateľa krásy a harmónie.

Japanese Graphic Design


The best of Japanese graphic poster design, from the 1964 Tokyo Olympics to the Issey Miyake logo This book brings together the best of Japanese graphic poster design--from the 1964 Tokyo Olympics to the creation of the Issey Miyake logo, and from the Osaka Expo to the official poster for the Pan-Pacific Design Congress. Japanese contemporary posters are considered to have started in the mid-'50s, after World War II and following a period of depression, post-militarism and post-autarchy. This new expressive mode was fueled by stimuli from abroad, but it was also a chance to reinterpret traditional themes and colors, bringing them into modernity in refreshing and fruitful ways. In the maze of expressive forms that flourished in Japan during the postwar period, graphic design stands out as a precious tool for following the thread of national creativity and the intense permanence of traditional aesthetic sensibility through these new forms. Over half a century after the inception of graphics and with the coming Olympic Games taking place in 2021, this volume takes a wide view of the trends and aesthetic shifts that can be traced in the development of graphic design in Japan. Contemporary Japanese Posters includes 85 graphic designers and 756 posters. It is the most complete volume on the subject in any language.

Legs, legs, and more legs for a song Many loved The Big Book of Legs but some found it just too darn big, weighing in at nearly seven pounds. True, it was packed with shapely legs spanning six decades, from the first shy emergence of the ankle in the 1910s, through the rolled stockings and rouged knees of the 1920s, to the Betty Grable ’40s, the stockinged and stilettoed ’50s, on into the sexually liberated ’60s and ’70s, but it could still put a dent in your own thighs if you sat reading for too long. Fortunately here at TASCHEN we listen to your groans of agony as well as your moans of ecstasy; thus, this light and portable new edition, packing over 100 of the choicest photos from the original volume, as well as 38 new photos, into a compact (and frankly adorable) package. From Betty Grable to Bettie Page, the greatest legs of the 20th Century can be found within, shot by Irving Klaw, Bunny Yeager, and the incomparable Elmer Batters, father of leg art. There are silk and nylon stockings, high heels in abundance, curvy calves, taut thighs, playful toes and towering arches—with no bothersome text to get in the way. Could leg love get any sweeter? The editor and author Dian Hanson produced a variety of men’s magazines from 1976 to 2001, including Juggs, Outlaw Biker, and Leg Show, before becoming TASCHEN’s Sexy Book Editor.

William Morris


William Morris's interests were wide-ranging: he was a poet, writer, political and social activist, conservationist and businessman, as well as a brilliant and original designer and manufacturer. This book explores the balance between Morris's various spheres of activity and influence, places his art in the context of its time and explores his ongoing and far-reaching legacy. A pioneer of the Arts & Crafts Movement, William Morris (1834-1896) is one of the most influential designers of all time. Morris turned the tide of Victorian England against an increasingly industrialized manufacturing process towards a rediscovered respect for the skill of the maker. Morris's whole approach still resonates today, and his designs are popular and much admired. Published to mark the 125th anniversary of Morris's death, this book includes contributions from a wide range of Morris experts, with chapters on painting, church decoration and stained glass, interior decoration, furniture, tiles and tableware, wallpaper, textiles, calligraphy and publishing. Additional materials include a contextualized chronology of Morris's life and a list of public collections around the world where examples of Morris's work may be seen today. This study is a comprehensive, fully illustrated exploration of a great thinker and artist, and essential reading for anyone interested in the history of design. With 668 illustrations in colour

Roots and Wings : Peter Schreyer: Designer, Artist, and Visionary

Looking at the formative moments and pivotal artistic discoveries that shaped his creative mindset, Roots and Wings is the never-before-told story of how a man reimagined a car brand and left a mark on history in the process.

Adolf Loos


The must-have monograph on one of modern architecture's most influential figures, long a rarity and now available in an expanded and updated edition Viennese architect Adolf Loos was influential among his fellow early modernists not only for his radical designs but for his controversial ideology and famously militant opposition to ornament. Loos approached architecture from a primarily utilitarian perspective: he believed that interiors should be designed according to function, taking full advantage of the size and space of a building. In this definitive monograph, a true labor of love, architect Ralf Bock seeks to reveal the sensuality of Loos' interior designs, focusing on his sincere belief in the evolution of tradition. The book explores 30 existing projects from Loos' oeuvre, documented in 160 full-color images by the celebrated French photographer Phillippe Ruault. Along with materials from the Loos archive at the Albertina Museum Vienna, these photographs and Bock's commentary provide a new interpretation of Loos' work and encourage the reintroduction of his ideology into the contemporary architectural conversation. Profiles of Loos' original clients and interviews with people who currently inhabit his designs round out this unique publication. Adolf Loos (1870-1933) was a radical figure in his time: his critique of the Vienna Secession and advocacy for utilitarian design greatly influenced the less ornamental approaches to architecture among subsequent modernist designers. He studied briefly at Dresden University of Technology and delivered his famous lecture "Ornament and Crime" at the Academic Association for Literature and Music in 1910. His most recognizable building is the multipurpose Looshaus at Michaelerplatz in Vienna, characterized by the numerous window boxes on the building's façade.
