Václav Mergl – Mysterium hmoty
Václav Mergl (1935) je jednou z nejvýznamnějších osobností české animace, stejně jako výrazným představitelem tuzemského moderního výtvarného umění. Jeho filmy, koláže či kresby tvoří nezaměnitelný úkaz i díky tomu, jak nakládají s vědecko-fantastickým žánrem nebo s principy hmoty. Monografie poprvé nabízí širší pohled na Merglovu tvorbu jako na jedinečný celek, v němž se animace prolíná s neméně osobitou výtvarnou činností. Rozbor a komparaci děl doplňují unikátní vizuální materiály a četné reprodukce. Součástí knihy je pak také rozhovor s tvůrcem, v jehož životě nechyběly střety s tehdejším režimem, zákazy činnosti a paradoxy doby. A který přes svou originalitu a mezinárodní úspěchy zůstává stále mimo širší povědomí.
Under the Gun
An essential guide to understanding classic and contemporary crime filmsUnder the Gun provides a systematic and sophisticated criminological perspective to bear on crime films. The book provides a fresh way of looking at cinema, using the concepts and analytical tools of criminology to uncover previously unnoticed meanings in film, ultimately making the study of criminological theory more engaging and effective for students while simultaneously demonstrating how theories of crime circulate in our mass-mediated worlds. The result is an illuminating new way of seeing movies and a compelling way of learning about criminology.Stepping into the fray between the gritty realities of crime and punishment and their mediated forms, Under the Gun also brings into relief the ways that crime theory might birth the seeds of its own undoing. From those primordial and revenant crime theories—the elemental evil driving films like The Conjuring, the brute biological determinism of There's Something About Kevin, and the banal carceral feminism of The Silence of the Lambs—to the countervisual work of reckoning: the prescient intersectionality of Set It Off, the queer and green criminologies of Moonlight and Dark Water, and the anti-colonial indictment of Saint Omer, Under the Gun asks would-be criminologists to a take up the cultural work that is truly foundational to the study of harm, violence, and justice.
Hříšníku, stůj!
Kniha přináší ojedinělý pohled na spirituály - písně z dob otroctví v celé své syrové kráse a zbožnosti - v nových převodech Michala Bystrova. Tento hudební žánr zrozený z utrpení afroamerických otroků je u nás známý především díky Spirituál kvintetu, který tyto písně naděje, víry a bolesti proslavil tak, že mnohé zlidověly. Na rozdíl od jejich volných adaptací se Bystrov pokouší zachytit původní tragický kontext, přísnou zbožnost a těsné vazby na texty Starého a Nového zákona. Přesto i jemu se místy nedaří udržet vážnou tvář - zejména v oddílech věnovaných biblickým prorokům vtip a fantazie prorážejí na povrch. Publikace je doplněna konkrétními pasážemi z Bible, které tvoří nedílnou součást duchovního poselství spirituálů.
Jak dodává autor předmluvy Jiří Tichota, u překladů lidových písní nejde jen o doslovnost, ale i o zachování něčeho nevyslovitelného - rozpoložení původního autora, jedinečnosti slovních obrazů a genia loci. Bystrovova kniha obsahuje volné převody bezmála 150 prapůvodních spirituálů, které jsou určeny nejen ke čtení, ale i ke zpívání. Písně zrozené z řetězů tak mohou ve své kráse a smutku znít i dnes.
Výtvarné Brno Igora Zhoře (1957–1997)
Proč právě Igor Zhoř?
Neměla být spíše vytvořena kniha Výtvarné Brno Adolfa Kroupy? Nebo Dalibora Chatrného? Kniha „Výtvarné Brno Igora Zhoře 1957–1997“ sleduje podstatné vývojové kroky v uměleckém životě několika desetiletí a ukazuje, že to byl právě teoretik Igor Zhoř, kdo se naprosto zásadně podílel na mnoha důležitých aktivitách. Společně s tehdejším ředitelem Domu umění města Brna založil sdružení Mladí přátelé výtvarného umění, s Ivanem Rullerem a Vladimírem Preclíkem se zasloužil o vznik Fakulty výtvarných umění Vysokého učení technického v Brně, stál u zrodu Galerie mladých, byl spoluzakladatelem a prvním kurátorem Galerie Jaroslava Krále, zakládal umělecké skupiny a napsal skvělé knihy, jimiž hned několika generacím zájemců otevíral přístupové cesty k problematice aktuálního umění.
Naše kniha s pomocí bohatého obrazového materiálu přináší pohled na širší dobové souvislosti a snaží se kriticky vymezit, které z aktivit Igora Zhoře žijí i v současné době. V březnu 2025 je to sto let od jeho narození.

Travelling
Celebrated music critic Ann Powers explores the life and career of the legendary Joni Mitchell.
What you are about to read is not a standard account of the life and work of Joni Mitchell. Instead, it's a tale of long journeying through a life that changed popular music: of a homesick wanderer forging ahead on routes of her invention, and of me on her trail, heading toward the ringing of her voice.
One of the most celebrated artists of her generation, Joni Mitchell has inspired countless musicians and writers, while never stopping still herself.
In Travelling, celebrated music critic Ann Powers seeks to understand the paradox of Mitchell - at once both elusive and inviting - through her myriad journeys. Drawing on extensive inter-views with Mitchell's peers and deep archival research, Powers takes readers to rural Canada, charts the course of Mitchell's musical evolution, follows the winding road of Mitchell's collaborations with other greats and explores the loves that fed her songwriting.
Kaleidoscopic in scope and intimate in detail, Travelling is a fresh and fascinating addition to the Joni Mitchell corpus - and one that questions whether an artist can ever truly be known to their fans.
Sisters, Saints and Sibyls
Nan Goldin's deeply personal exploration of female trauma and resistance.
Sisters, Saints and Sibyls is a tribute 'to all rebellious women struggling to survive in society.' Focusing on the tragic life of her sister, Barbara, Nan Goldin weaves together a tapestry out of medical records, family photographs and mythical allusions to Saint Barbara to compose a haunting meditation on the mistreatment of female mental health in the twentieth century. Barbara's story is intertwined with Goldin's own descent into, and emergence from, addiction, shining a brutal light on the realities of trauma, abuse and mental illness.
One of Nan Goldin's most important series, this timely publication is set to align with a major career retrospective opening at the Grand Palais, Paris, in March 2026.
Gilmore Girls: Our Stars Hollow Family
Join the Gilmore Girls as they celebrate the people who raised them and the family they found along the way—from Richard and Emily to Mia, Sookie, Luke, and the rest of quirky residents of Star Hollows—in this beautifully illustrated storybook appropriate for fans of all ages.This picture book captures what fans of all ages love about Gilmore Girls—the quirky, lovable characters of Stars Hollow and the bonds they built throughout the series! Lorelai and Rory share a mother/daughter relationship that makes them uniquely the Gilmore girls. Their loving bond is found in everything from early morning birthday wakeup calls to late night movie marathons, dance contests, and the most unhealthy midnight snacks. And even though Lorelai’s relationship with her parents may be strained at times, they are still bound by love and Friday Night Dinners. But the Gilmore girls have another family that they found in a picturesque little town many miles—and maybe even an entire world—away from the place Lorelai was raised. From Sookie and Lane, to Babette and Miss Patty, and especially including Luke, this family has impacted the lives of the Gilmore girls in so many ways. They may be a little quirkier than the aunts and uncles and cousins that Lorelai grew up with, but they have filled Rory’s childhood and both of their lives with interesting characters, unique experiences, and lots and lots of love.

Film Posters of the Russian Avant-Garde. 45th Ed.
At the intersection of the visual, graphic, and cinematic arts, film posters are a unique and thrilling record of a particular cultural Zeitgeist. This book brings together 250 posters from the Soviet Union of the 1920s and early 1930s to explore the energy and invention of this period, before Soviet Realism became the official art doctrine.
Drawn from the private collection of collector Susan Pack, the selection includes the work of 27 different artists. From bold figuration to architectural elements, each artist displays a distinct style and aesthetic, as much as they collectively eschew the glamour of Hollywood for more stark, striking, even challenging images, often marked by unusual angles, dynamic compositions, and startling close-ups.
The World According to Matisse
In addition to being a formidable artist, Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was a prolific letter writer and regular contributor to many publications. Following in the successful format of 'The World According to …' series, this anthology of quotations unites Matisse's thoughts and artworks to construct a unique view of the world, as seen through the eyes of one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century.
Covering topics ranging from fame - 'An artist must never be … a prisoner of success' - to war and occupation - 'All is well here, but we see things that are hilarious and dreadful all at once' - art - 'All colours sing together; they have the essential force of a choir' - and work - 'When you work to please other people, you achieve nothing' - The World According to Henri Matisse paints the picture of a life as lively as it was rich.
Matisse - World of Art
A richly illustrated survey of Matisse's impact on modern art that also examines his career, techniques, aesthetics and stages of artistic development.
The work of Henri Matisse has been both a profound inspiration to his successors and a source of infinite enjoyment to all who love art. Yet the apparent spontaneity of his colour and ease of imagery were the fruit of a lifetime's arduous labour; the simplicity of his compositions the result of a formidable intelligence. In this richly illustrated study, Lawrence Gowing takes us through Matisse's career, assessing his influence on the art that has followed him and looking closely at Matisse's own achievements. The detailed discussion of individual works reveal the subtlety and complexity of one of the greatest masters of all time.
Dutch Painting - World of Art
'A masterpiece, a brilliantly original synthesis, often revelatory, miraculously condensed, and always readable' David Carrier, Counterpunch
This authoritative book in the World of Art series offers a new perspective on the paintings of the Dutch Golden Age, authored by one of the world's foremost experts on Dutch art.

This lively and authoritative guide brings together a range of notable paintings from leading museum collections to explore the work of well-known masters such as Rembrandt van Rijn, Judith Leyster and Johannes Vermeer, as well as artists that the reader may be encountering for the first time, such as Adriaen van de Velde and Gesina ter Borch.
Across nine chapters, particular attention is paid to patronage and the market; reception and study; gender and race; painters abroad, in Europe as well as Asia and elsewhere; and issues of attribution. Covering an impressively wide range of subjects and styles, Dutch Painting investigates the full panoply of works created by the largest school of seventeenth-century European painters, offering a comprehensive overview of Dutch painting in its own context - and in ours - with a fresh and insightful eye.
Renoir - An Intimate Biography
'A magnificent success ... it will remain a point of reference for years to come' Sophie Renoir
The joy that permeates Renoir's paintings emerged from the heart of a deeply complex man. Even his close friends and family members were baffled by the contradictions that defined him. In Renoir: An Intimate Biography, Barbara Ehrlich White, the world's leading authority on the artist's life and work, brings a lifetime of research to bear - challenging misconceptions around Renoir's reputation to provide an unparalleled account of this great Impressionist artist, in both his own words and those of his friends.
Uniquely intimate, this biography is interspersed with over one thousand excerpts of letters by, to, and about Renoir - 452 of which come from previously unpublished letters. These firsthand accounts offer an extraordinary window into Renoir's world, bringing us into direct contact with Renoir not only as a groundbreaking artist but as a devoted friend and father, too.
Cezanne
Form, color, and light – a pioneer of painterly abstractionPaul Cezanne is unquestionably one of the most influential artists of the nineteenth century. He is regarded as a pioneer of modernism who deliberately broke with the laws of perspective in his works and constructed the world out of color and form. He thus gave decisive impetus to Cubist painting and the development of abstraction.
The catalogue accompanies a comprehensive exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler, which is honoring this central artist in its collection with a solo show for the first time in its history. The exhibition and catalogue focus on the last and most significant phase of the French painter's career and highlight key themes from his later years, including still lifes, portraits, landscapes, and scenes of bathers. With around seventy oil paintings and watercolors, the exhibition and catalogue allow us to experience form, light, and color in Cezanne's groundbreaking works—qualities that have influenced artists across generations and continue to inspire them to this day.

Šperk a figura
Šperk patří k lidskému bytí od pravěku a stejně tak dlouho velkým tématem autorů šperku zůstává člověk a jeho zobrazení. Figurální kvalita šperku přitom nepatří ke konstantám. Někteří diváci ji přijímají, jiní jen připouštějí, ostatní nikoli. Kniha Šperk a figura představuje téměř tři sta šperkových děl z bohaté sbírky Uměleckoprůmyslového musea v Praze (UPM), podpořených ukázkami z tuzemských i zahraničních muzeí a soukromých rukou. Prezentuje je v tematických či formálních souvislostech. Pravěká i historická díla vyprávějí v konfrontaci se současným šperkem příběhy skutečných a fantazijních světů. Miniaturní figury v knize střídají podání v reálné lidské velikosti i zásadním zvětšení, kdy struktury těla splývají s modely atomů, molekul i vesmírných celků. Šperk a figura navazuje na knihu Šperk – forma – obsah, která pod hlavičkou UPM vyšla v roce 2023 (v anglické verzi v roce 2024).
