Filmové plakáty


Tvorba filmových plakátů je stará jako film samotný. Plakáty zpočátku poukazovaly na téma propagovaného filmu: od dobrodružství a romantiky až po napínavé a mrazivé horory. Poté, s nástupem fenoménu filmových hvězd, začaly prodávat zejména hollywoodský životní styl. Tato kniha, plná plakátů z nejrůznějších částí světa a všech období filmové tvorby, je podrobnou historií jednoho z nejzajímavějších reklamních médií. Obsahuje kapitoly zaměřené na tvůrce plakátů, vývoj stylů, vliv politiky a ideologie i na to, jakou roli ve vývoji filmového plakátu hrála komerce. Je to zábavná, poučná a strhující cesta po kinematografii, umění a obchodu, který láká miliony diváků do pokladen kin. Oproti původnímu vydání kniha obsahuje i 16 nových stran o vývoji českého a slovenského filmového plakátu!

Ušlechtilý, dobrý, krásný


Ušlechtilý, dobrý, krásný takové nároky kladla katolická církev na film a pro úspěch takového filmu se zavázala pracovat. Stejnojmenná kniha Petra Hasana se zabývá debatou, která se o kinematografii vedla v českém katolickém prostředí v první polovině 20. století. Detailněji se věnuje natáčení velkofilmu Svatý Václav, organizaci domácí katolické filmové cenzury či budování sítě orelských kin. Zároveň hledá odpovědi na otázky obecnějšího rázu: Jaké kulturní strategie katolická církev ve 20. století používala? Jakou roli hrála kinematografie při procesu vyrovnávání se katolické církve s moderním světem? A jaká jsou katolická specifika vztahu mezi uměním a vírou?

Historická a současná architektura


Existuje rozdíl mezi historickou a současnou architekturou? Historická architektura je často vnímána jako samostatná, uzavřená etapa výstavby, ke které máme jako společnost poněkud ambivalentní vztah. Považujeme ji za součást kulturního dědictví, jejíž ochranu a obnovu svěřujeme specialistům, zároveň její ochranu často vnímáme jako překážku dalšího rozvoje a uplatnění současných požadavků na užívání domů. Mnozí v ní nehledají příležitost ani inspiraci, namísto její obnovy volí jednodušší cestu k současným, často mnohem méně osobitým a kvalitním formám. Tato kniha je stručným shrnutím zkušeností z přípravy a realizace téměř stovky projektů rekonstrukcí, obnovy a dostaveb památkově chráněných staveb, souborů a území, převážně na půdorysu Pražské památkové rezervace a v památkových zónách nebo areálech ve středních Čechách. Je příspěvkem k dialogu o hledání podstaty, kvality a hodnot architektury jako takové, bez ohledu na to, v které době byla vytvořena. Ostatně, také termín historická architektura je podle autora relativní. Pravděpodobně každý architekt se totiž dožije toho, že jeho práce, kdysi současná a aktuální, je posuzována měřítkem času a srovnávána se stavbami o mnoho staršími i mladšími.

Frank Gehry: The Masterpieces


An authoritative compendium on the main masterpieces of Frank Gehry, including 480 illustrations and photographs, produced in collaboration with Cahiers d'Art. Experimenting with a range of materials from cheap mass-produced items to space-age titanium, and using 3D computer modeling as an architectural tool, Frank Gehry's buildings are remarkable and surprising, united by the sense of movement they convey. His projects flow, curve, bend, and crumple in novel and unexpected ways, subverting traditional building norms. From his own home in Santa Monica to the undu­lating Beekman Tower in New York, from the shining curves of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao to the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, and his most recent construction, Luma Arles, Gehry has left his indelible mark on the history of architectural design. Forty of the renowned architect's most remarkable works are presented by architect and critic Jean-Louis Cohen, alongside views of the interiors and exteriors of each building. This tour includes many of Gehry's works throughout the United States and abroad, such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the one-of-a-kind "Binoc­ulars Building" in Los Angeles, and the beloved "Dancing House" in Prague.

Vogue Paris: 100 Years


Vogue Paris has always been so much more than a fashion magazine. It has assumed a central and vital role on the international cultural stage, with a history that spans the most inventive decades in fashion and taste, and in the arts and society. It has acted as a cultural bellwether, putting fashion in the context of the larger world in which we live and mirroring its times - the postwar renaissance of Paris and haute couture, the New Wave, the radical seventies, the glamorous eighties. As it enters its second century, it remains at the cutting edge of photography and design. Published to mark the magazine's centenary, this book celebrates Vogue Paris's history from its first issue in 1920 to its current incarnation with Emmanuelle Alt at the helm. On its pages are creations by some of the greatest artists of their era, whether distinguished illustrators such as Lepape, Gruau and Benito, or photographers such as Man Ray, Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin and Mario Testino. Here, too, are iconic faces: Catherine Deneuve, Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot, Kate Moss and more. And of course, it showcases the fashion designers who defined the century - Chanel, Dior, Balenciaga, Saint Laurent, McQueen - and explores more broadly the changing mores of the past hundred years.

Louvre


Almost nine million people from all over the world flock to the Louvre in Paris every year to see its incomparable art collection. Yet few, if any, are aware of the remarkable history of that location and of the buildings themselves, and how they chronicle the history of Paris itself-a fascinating story that historian James Gardner elegantly tells for the first time. Before the Louvre was a museum, it was a palace, and before that a fortress. But much earlier still, it was a place called le Louvre for reasons unknown. People had inhabited that spot for more than 6,000 years before King Philippe Auguste of France constructed a fortress there in 1191 to protect against English soldiers stationed in Normandy. Two centuries later, Charles V converted the fortress to one of his numerous royal palaces. After Louis XIV moved the royal residence to Versailles in 1682, the Louvre inherited the royal art collection, which then included the Mona Lisa, given to Francis by Leonardo da Vinci; just over a century later, during the French Revolution, the National Assembly established the Louvre as a museum to display the nation's treasures. Subsequent leaders of France, from Napoleon to Napoleon III to Francois Mitterand, put their stamp on the museum, expanding it into the extraordinary institution it has become. With expert detail and keen admiration, James Gardner links the Louvre's past to its glorious present, and vibrantly portrays how it has been a witness to French history - through the Napoleonic era, the Commune, two World Wars, to this day - and home to a legendary collection whose diverse origins and back stories create a spectacular narrative that rivals the building's legendary stature.

American Geography


American Geography is the visual record of Magnum photographer Matt Black's five-year, 100,000-mile road trip across 46 states of the United States, plus Puerto Rico. It examines the conditions of powerlessness, prejudice and pragmatism among America's poor. The project originated in Matt Black's exploration of his own home town in California's rural Central Valley - a place that has been called 'the other California' - where one third of the population lives in poverty. Travelling out from that location in 2015, he went on to visit designated 'poverty areas' - places with poverty rates of above 20% as defined by the US census. He found that, rather than being anomalies, 'poverty areas' are never more than two-hour's drive apart. They are woven throughout the fabric of the country, yet are cut off from the 'land of opportunity'. Matt Black's compelling black and white photographs, from which one can trace a line back to the FSA Photographers of the 1930s and 1940s such as Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange, are accompanied by his own travelogue - an eclectic combination of observations, overheard conversations in cafes and city buses, diner menus, bus timetables, historical facts and echoes from daily news reports - which enrich the vivid portrait of these 'states of un-America.'

The Lyrics


A self-portrait in 154 songs, by our greatest living songwriter 'More often than I can count, I've been asked if I would write an autobiography, but the time has never been right. The one thing I've always managed to do, whether at home or on the road, is to write new songs. I know that some people, when they get to a certain age, like to go to a diary to recall day-to-day events from the past, but I have no such notebooks. What I do have are my songs, hundreds of them, which I've learned serve much the same purpose. And these songs span my entire life.' In this extraordinary book, with unparalleled candour, Paul McCartney recounts his life and art through the prism of 154 songs from all stages of his career - from his earliest boyhood compositions through the legendary decade of The Beatles, to Wings and his solo albums to the present. Arranged alphabetically to provide a kaleidoscopic rather than chronological account, it establishes definitive texts of the songs' lyrics for the first time and describes the circumstances in which they were written, the people and places that inspired them, and what he thinks of them now. Presented with this is a treasure trove of material from McCartney's personal archive - drafts, letters, photographs - never seen before, which make this also a unique visual record of one of the greatest songwriters of all time. We learn intimately about the man, the creative process, the working out of melodies, the moments of inspiration. The voice and personality of Paul McCartney sings off every page. There has never been a book about a great musician like it. Each volume is 480 pp, not available separately

AEROFLOT – Fly Soviet


Despite the borders of the USSR being closed to majority of its population, Soviet citizens were among the world's most frequent flyers. Following the 1917 Revolution, Vladimir Lenin made the development of aviation a priority. Assisted by advertising campaigns by artists such as Alexander Rodchenko, Soviet society was mobilised to establish an air fleet - from the very beginning of the USSR through to its demise in 1991, Soviet aviation flew its own unique path. This book unfolds the story of Soviet air travel, from early carriers like Deruluft and Dobrolet, to the enigmatic Aeroflot. Organised like an Air Force, with a vast fleet of aircraft and helicopters, Aeroflot was the world's biggest air carrier of passengers and cargo, responsible for a wider range of duties than any other airline. In an era when it was still common to smoke on board, the Aeroflot emblem appeared on cigarette packets, matchboxes and many other everyday goods. Aeroflot publicity alerted domestic passengers to new destinations or proudly presented the introduction of faster, more comfortable aircraft, while colourful advertising enticed Western travellers to use Aeroflot's international services. Aeroflot - Fly Soviet uses this ephemera to illustrate a parallel aviation universe that existed for 70 years. It pays tribute to generations of aircraft engineers, designers, pilots, ticket sellers, flight dispatchers, air traffic controllers, ground handlers and flight attendants, who jointly created this remarkable chapter of Soviet civil aviation history.

Lacná kniha Tu spočíva kvet, čo zanechal svet (-25%)


Človek niekedy pociťuje potrebu vytvárať v krajine pamätné miesta, alebo obnovovať dávno stratené a zaniknuté prvky, a prehliada význam tých, ktoré majú takýto rozmer v sebe celkom prirodzene obsiahnutý a stále existujú. Práve ony mnohokrát pustnú a ustupujú z každodennosti do spomienok. Je to prirodzené. Nie je jednoduché nájsť výnimočnosť v niečom, čo je každodennou súčasťou priestoru života, a čo tvorí jeho každodennú kulisu. K uvedomeniu si skutočnej hodnoty mnohých pamiatok dochádza spravidla až pri spätnom pohľade a konfrontácii s reálne hroziacim zánikom, prípadne s už završujúcou sa stratou. Jednými z takýchto zanikajúcich, no stále zachovaných, prvkov na území niekdajšieho Novohradu sú ľudové podoby bohato zdobených a tvarovaných náhrobníkov, ktorými hroby zosnulých označovali evanjelici augsburského vyznania od sedemdesiatych rokov 19. storočia takmer až do polovice 20. storočia len v niekoľkých obciach Novohradských vrchov. Ide o najreprezentatívnejšiu ukážku ľudovej tvorivosti a ľudového výtvarného prejavu v priestore Novohradu zachovanú in situ, pre ktorú je charakteristická mnohorozmernosť výpovede. Sú to prvky vo vzťahu k jednotlivcovi, spoločenstvu i konkrétnemu priestoru vzniku s mimoriadne vysokým informačným potenciálom, ktorého výpovedná hodnota je však v mnohých ohľadoch nedocenená. Zachované kamenné náhrobníky – oltáriky, sú skutočnou kamennou databázou znakov a symbolov koncentrovanou na malom priestore niekoľkých cintorínov v Novohradských vrchoch. Sú výpoveďou o dobe, priestore a ľuďoch v ňom žijúcich. Sú výpoveďou o čarovnom, no zabudnutom kúsku Slovenska na styku Novohradu s Hontom a Podpoľaním. Sú svedectvom o svete, ktorý sa vytratil.
