Art of the Baltic States


A lavishly illustrated reference on a little-known chapter in art history - the art of the three Baltic States, covering a wide range of mediums, movements and styles. The Baltic States - Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia - retain strong cultural identities that have survived despite centuries of colonization by powerful neighbouring lands. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, artists and writers were starting to reclaim and promote their own artistic heritage as radically distinct from that of the invading nations, with pioneers such as M. K. Ciurlionis and Vilhelms Purvitis demonstrating rare originality in their work. In the wake of the First World War, the three Baltic countries regained their autonomy, and the 1920s and 30s became a rich period of openness and international artistic exchange. Modernism in all its forms flourished, not only in painting but in sculpture, printmaking, photomontage and the decorative arts, ranging from the elegant abstraction of Arnold Akberg to the provocative figuration of Karlis Padegs and the experimental photography of Domicele Tarabildiene. Art of the Baltic States is organized into three main chapters, documenting the history of art in each country. Enriched with illustrations from important museum collections, Fauchereau covers key art movements as well as their complex historical background, from time under the Czars and the German crown to the invasion by the Soviet Union and beyond. With each country showcased in its own lavishly illustrated section, this is a wonderful guide to a vibrant field in European art history that is often overlooked but deserves rediscovery and a place on the global stage.

The Art Of Chinese Living: An Inheritance Of Tradition (In 4 Volumes)


Chronicling the traditions of Chinese life and culture, The Art of Chinese Living is a visual cornucopia and an epic cultural immersion into everything from cuisine and history to art and rituals, calligraphy and music to artefacts and interiors, and from widespread national traditions to the minutiae of daily family life. Spanning over 1,100 stunning pages and divided into the four seasons, this lavish four-volume set in a cloth-bound slipcase is alive with culture. The passion and research that have gone into producing this masterpiece are palpable on every page, from the 10,000 commissioned photographs and illustrations to the incredible gatefold pages and painstaking detail. It is a love letter to Chinese culture written by a mother keen to share her passion for incredible traditions both big and small with her own children, and those of families around the world - whether looking to rekindle a connection with their own traditions or eager to learn more about China, its history and culture. From recipes and home-made gift ideas to an epic timeline of Chinese dynasties and cultural artefacts, The Art of Chinese Living is a joy to behold and a treasure to share. In the words of the author, 'This volume of books is a gift to all the Chinese people, as well as all who have a love for Chinese culture. My objective was to enable everyone to access Chinese culture in their everyday lives, rather than something that could only be appreciated in museums or history books.'

Hogarth


Hogarth was one of the great 18th-century painters, a marvellous colourist and innovator at all levels of artistic expression. Art historian David Bindman surveys the works of this artist whose wry humour and sharp wit were reflected in his prolific paintings and prints including The Rake's Progress and Marriage-A-la-Mode. Hogarth was also a master of pictorial satire, highlighting the moral and political hypocrisies of the day with delightful detail and comedy - themes that resonate deeply with our times. The artist was a keen observer of class and society; this new edition has been specially updated to include a discussion of Hogarth's many representations of Black people in 18th-century Britain, a subject that has long been overlooked. Now revised with additional material and illustrated in colour throughout, this is a vivid and incisive study of the man and his art.

Looking Back at Francis Bacon


A unique portrait of one of the creative geniuses of the 20th century, by the distinguished critic David Sylvester. Controversial in both life and art, Francis Bacon was one of the most important painters of the 20th century. His monumental, unsettling images have an extraordinary power to disturb, shock and haunt the spectator, 'to unlock the valves of feeling and therefore return the onlooker to life more violently'. Drawing on his personal knowledge of Bacon's inspirations, intentions and working methods, David Sylvester surveys the development of the work from 1933 to the early 1990s, and discusses critically a number of its crucial aspects. He also reproduces previously unpublished extracts from his celebrated conversations with Bacon in which the artist speaks about himself, modern painters and the art of the past. Finally, Sylvester gives a brief account of Bacon's life, correcting certain errors that elsewhere have been presented as facts. Divided into the sections 'Review', 'Reflections', 'Fragments of Talk' and 'Biographical Note', Looking Back at Francis Bacon is a unique portrait of one of the creative geniuses of our age by a writer of comparable distinction.

Body


The definitive survey of contemporary photography of the human body. The body remains a battleground. Politicized, conceptualized and increasingly shared, our often-paradoxical relationship with the human form is nothing new, but finds itself heightened in the digitised, virtualised era of the 'post-industrial' body. No longer a tool but a work-in-progress, our bodily expectations bound from fantasy to reality, beauty to tyranny, art to commerce and curiosity to obsession, leaving us dreaming of other bodies and alternate lives. Surveying a range of over 360 photographic re-presentations from the worlds of art, fashion, scientific and vernacular photography - including the work of Nobuyoshi Araki, Bettina Rheims, Lauren Greenfield, Viviane Sassen, Cindy Sherman, Wolfgang Tillmans, Daido Moriyama, Sally Mann, Pieter Hugo and Juergen Teller, Solve Sundsbo and Daniel Sannwald - Body: The Photobook explores what our imaging of the human form, and the ways in which those images have been used and shared, might reflect of our relationship to the body. Supporting the broad range of photography is an essay by the psychologist Professor David Sander, who discusses the neurological representation of our own bodies.

Fenomén italský western


Italský western, jemuž je věnována tato kniha, představuje nejen jeden z nejpopulárnějších žánrů italské kinematografie, ale i komplexní sociokulturní fenomén, který rezonuje v širokém mezinárodním kontextu. Autor se ho snaží představit z jiného pohledu, odlišného od výkladů, které se stále opakují v publikacích věnovaných tomuto žánru. Pro svou analýzu si zvolil několik okruhů, specifických témat. V úvodní historické části se zaměřil na revizi dlouhodobě a mylně zavedeného obrazu historie italského westernu spojeného zejména s tvorbou Sergia Leoneho. V následujících, interpretačních kapitolách rozebírá příznačné rozpoznávací atributy tohoto žánru, úzce spojené s náboženskou symbolikou, kulturní intertextualitou, anachronickými prvky, žánrovými konstrukcemi a filmovou hudbou. Autorův text uvozují osobní historická svědectví o vlastních tvůrčích zkušenostech z pera scenáristy Ernesta Gastaldiho, který pro knihu napsal předmluvu, a režiséra Giancarla Santiho, s nímž autor vedl rozhovor.

Georgia O'Keeffe, Photographer


A groundbreaking introduction to the photographic work of an iconic modern artist The pathbreaking artist Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) is revered for her iconic paintings of flowers, skyscrapers, animal skulls, and Southwestern landscapes. Her photographic work, however, has not been explored in depth until now. After the death of her husband, the photographer Alfred Stieglitz, in 1946, photography indeed became an important part of O'Keeffe's artistic production. She trained alongside the photographer Todd Webb, revisiting subjects that she had painted years before-landforms of the Southwest, the black door in her courtyard, the road outside her window, and flowers. O'Keeffe's carefully composed photographs are not studies of detail or decisive moments; rather, they focus on the arrangement of forms. This is the first major investigation of O'Keeffe's photography and traces the artist's thirty-year exploration of the medium, including a complete catalogue of her photographic work. Essays by leading scholars address O'Keeffe's photographic approach and style and situate photography within the artist's overall practice. This richly illustrated volume significantly broadens our understanding of one of the most innovative artists of the twentieth century.

Antika - Petra Feriancová


Petra Feriancová (1977) je súčasná slovenská výtvarníčka, spisovateľka a kurátorka. Pracuje v médiu fotografie, sochy a inštalácie a venuje sa tvorbe kníh. Často využíva osobné archívy svojich najbližších a iné materiály, ktoré interpretuje a nelineárne preskupuje. V roku 2013 zastupovala Slovensko a Českú republiku na 55. bienále v Benátkach s projektom An Order of Things. V roku 2011 absolvovala rezidenčný pobyt v The International Studio and Curatorial Program (ISCP) v New Yorku a v roku 2010 sa stala laureátkou Ceny Oskára Čepana pre mladých výtvarných umelcov a umelkyne. Petra Feriancová tvorí v intenciách postprodukcie. Ťažiskom jej tvorby je konceptualizácia vlastných emocionálnych reakcií v procesoch vnímania a pamäti, ako aj skúmanie podmienok ich vyjadrenia. Pracuje prevažne so súbormi už hotových obrazov a textov, ktoré nanovo interpretuje a metodicky zamieňa. Zmyslom tejto manipulácie s obrazovým či diskurzívnym podkladom je vzbudiť u diváka autentickú afektívnu reakciu. Monografia umelkyne vychádza v spolupráci s galériou PHOTOPORT.

Paper Thin - Roman Bicek


Roman Bicek (1981) sa venuje predovšetkým maľbe, kresbe a koláži. Výjavy z každodenného života kombinuje s obrazmi z médií, pri ktorých dochádza k vytrhnutiu z pôvodného kontextu a získavaniu nových súvislostí a naratívu. Jeho umenie komentuje problémy prítomné v našom sociálno-politickom diskurze. Kombinovaním protikladných prvkov, ako napríklad krásy a surovosti alebo remeselnej zručnosti a expresivity, sa snaží divákov zneistiť a vtiahnuť ich do nepreskúmaných teritórií. Jeho cieľom je dialóg bez vnucovania vlastného názoru. Humor a satiru používa na nadviazanie kontaktu s divákom a sprístupnenie tém, ktoré sú často nepríjemné či tabuizované. Monografia výtvarníka vychádza v spolupráci s galériou PHOTOPORT.

Picasso: Seven Decades of Drawing


Picasso: Seven Decades of Drawing surveys Pablo Picasso's prodigious career as a draftsman, including over 40 examples on loan from private collections spanning nearly 70 years of the artist's long and cele-brated career. The book showcases drawings in a wide range of media, from works in charcoal and crayon to coloured pencil, collage or papiers colles, graphite, gouache, ink, pastel, and watercolour. Some of the drawings on loan are rarely on view and they provide insight into the evolution of his iconic paintings, such as Les Demoiselles d'Avignon and Guernica, while others stand alone as virtuoso, independent works, highlighting Picasso's mastery of line, form, and medium. The book ultimately examines how drawing serves as the vital thread connecting all of Picasso's art.

100 magyar dokumentumfilm 1936-2013


A 100 magyar dokumentumfilm (1936-2013) sem tudományos, sem népszerűsítő értelemben nem dokumentumfilm-történet, és toplistát sem szándékozik kijelölni. A tizenhárom tematikus csoportba gyűjtött száz alkotás a Magyar Művészeti Akadémia filmklubjának programja volt. A vetítések után rögzítettük a moderátorok irányításával folytatott szakmai beszélgetéseket, és a szerkesztett videódokumentációkat az érdeklődők az mma-tv.hu csatornán meg is nézhetik. A filmek felidézésének megkönnyítésére jelen kötetben az elhangzott beszélgetésekből, a filmklub számára összeállított ismertetőkből, továbbá a sajtóban megjelent kritikákból, interjúkból emeltünk ki részleteket. Az így született szöveggyűjtemény reményeink szerint segítséget nyújthat mindazoknak, akik minden nehézséggel dacolva, a régi-új dokumentumfilmek közönséghez jutása érdekében közösségi mozizást (filmklub, könyvtármozi, rendhagyó történelemóra) szerveznek.
