Art in Detail


Great paintings cannot be fully understood in a single encounter; there is always more to be derived from them. Art lovers may revisit and reconsider the masterpieces throughout their lives, but a deeper understanding can only be gained by analysing the painting in detail, be it the placement of the subject, the lighting, the style of brushstrokes or the themes. Art in Detail examines 100 iconic paintings from the Western canon and spotlights the finer points a quick glance will almost certainly fail to reveal. These include subtle internal details, such as hidden symbols and artistic tricks employed by the painter to achieve particular effects. In addition, Susie Hodge writes intelligently about external influences on the artist - everything from the socioeconomic context in which he or she flourished, to smaller local difficulties, such as the level of air pollution at the time the painting was created. And she treats each of her subjects not only, to quote Matthew Arnold, 'as in itself it really is', but also as part of a tradition that links the oldest painting to the most recent, as artists pass a metaphorical baton down through the ages.

NEW RETRO: 20th Anniversary Edition


There is something distinctly compelling about the vintage aesthetic. Brimming with charm and character, it often tells stories of a colourful past and showcases a level of craftsmanship that many creatives today still aspire to emulate. Retro designs also emanate a sense of comfort and warmth that is tinged with nostalgia. As testament to the adage that old is indeed gold, 'New Retro' showcases a brilliant collection of work that is anything but outdated, featuring projects that not only draw inspiration from the good old days, but also merge seamlessly with contemporary influences and culture. First published in 2016, this 2021 rerelease - with additional projects and a special cover design - coincides with Victionary's 20th anniversary and is dedicated to the fans who have been requesting for its reprint ever since it went out of stock.

Judy Chicago: In the Making


One of the founding forces behind the 1970s feminist art movement, Judy Chicago became widely known for The Dinner Party, a massive installation turning women's traditional household-bound role on its head by setting a feast for thirty-nine remarkable women - from Hildegarde of Bingen to Emily Dickinson - to shine a spotlight on women's contributions to history. Concluded in 1979, it was presented in San Francisco to popular success and proceeded to be shown internationally to an audience of over one million viewers through an unprecedented grassroots effort. Art critics, however, responded differently, annihilating it for its celebration of vaginal imagery and embrace of 'feminine' craft. For decades Chicago operated on the margins of the art world, her work shunned by most critics and institutions and her evolution as an artist eclipsed by the notoriety of The Dinner Party. Judy Chicago: In the Making accompanies the first exhibition to offer a thorough overview of Chicago's career. It traces the artist's practice back to its roots, revealing her unique working process and the origins of the formal and conceptual strategies she has applied throughout her oeuvre. Bringing together a selection drawn from every major series of her work, it also reproduces sketchbooks, journals and preparatory drawings that document her extensive process of research and development.

Designing a Fashion Collection


Creating a capsule collection - a fashion collection based on one single design concept - is a process that requires much thought and organization, with different steps to be considered. Firstly, it is necessary to find a concept: one single theme that structures the designs of that collection and from which the creations are developed. The next step is to design a moodboard, an inspirational collage formed by images, text and samples of materials prior to the design of the collection, which then leads to the initial sketches using the illustration technique of one's choosing. Through these 16 tutorials the reader will learn the necessary elements that any process should have when designing a collection and how it should be presented in a portfolio. The techniques used in the book range from watercolour to collage, as well as digital tools. This is a book from which aspiring fashion designers will be able to draw the inspiration and skills needed to launch their own collection.

A nagybányai művésztelep


Az idén 125 éves művésztelep történetét és jelentős alkotóinak életművét tárgyalja a könyv, amely a 19-20.századi magyar művészet legfontosabb művészettörténeti forrásmunkái közé tartozik. Réti István: A Nagybányai művésztelep című kötetének jubileumi kiadását a művésztelep létrejöttének 125.évfordulójára 2021-ben a Magyar Művészeti Akadémia támogatta. Réti István A NAGYBÁNYAI MŰVÉSZTELEP Réti István könyve, A nagybányai művésztelep, a 19–20. századi magyar művészet egyik legjelentősebb szellemi, szemléleti, stiláris mozgalmának a történetét tárgyalja s résztvevőinek alakját, munkásságát mutatja be, a korszak legfontosabb művészettörténeti forrásmunkái közé tartozik. Szerzőjét, aki maga is a nagybányai festőkolónia első, alapító nemzedékének tagja, az eseményeknek nem csak résztvevője, hanem egyik megindítója is volt, műveltsége, széles látóköre, a történelem és művészettörténet iránti fogékonysága, s nem utolsósorban írói vénája a mozgalom krónikásának, s mintegy teoretikusának szerepére predesztinálta. A könyv csak Réti halála után kilenc évvel, 1954-ben jelent meg a Képzőművészeti Alap Kiadóvállalatánál. Az akkori politikai, művészetpolitikai viszonyok között azonban csak kompromisszumokkal kerülhetett kiadásra: kimaradt a kéziratból minden olyan szövegrész, utalás, ami a két világháború és a közbülső időszak történelmi eseményeinek tárgyalásában, vagy Réti művészete az, esztétikai felfogásában, vagy a nagybányai életkörülményekről szóló leírásai között nemkívánatosnak, közölhetetlennek találtatott. Réti István művét ebben a kiadásban teljes szövegével, hiánytalanul élvezheti az olvasó. A szerző kéziratát, a Magyar Nemzeti Galéria Adattárában őrzött gépiratot forrásértékű szövegként kezeltük, hogy a modern magyar művészet történetének ezt a nélkülözhetetlen forrásmunkáját a maga teljességében bocsássuk a szakemberek és a közönség rendelkezésére. Csorba Géza Írásom célja: a tényeket a feledéstől megmenteni és a művészeti Nagybánya fogalmát s jelentőségét tárgyilagos módon megállapítani... Igyekeztem természetesen a tények és emberek jellemzésében és értékelésében tárgyilagos lenni anélkül, hogy az etikai és a szellemi lényeg, a tehetség lényege iránt közömbös legyek és hogy el ne veszítsem a szemlélet egységét az emlékek erdejében. Kerültem a túldicsérést éppúgy, mint a túlzó kritikát, élőknek és halottaknak egyenlő mértékkel igyekeztem mérni. Igazat írni és igazságos maradni volt irányelvem, s ettől, legjobb tudásom szerint, nem tértem el. (Részletek az Előszóból) Réti István

Žízeň nekonečna


Tvorba Bohuslavy Olešové je patrně nejvíce známá pro expresivní voskové práce na papíře a malby s využitím gesticky prorývaných barevných ploch. Promlouvají k nám vířivé dynamické lineární shluky, v nichž se prorytými linkami odkrývají spodní vrstvy, a žádný z obrazů není prvoplánově a jednoznačně uchopitelný. Práce s vrstvami způsobuje, že některé prvky jsou na první pohled viditelné, zatímco mnohé jiné jen v náznacích prosvítají a nutí nás přemýšlet o tom, co je skryto.

Egon Schiele


The monograph on Egon Schiele edited by Rudolf Leopold in 1972 forms the basis for Egon Schiele's world fame. This important document of art-historical literature has long been out of print, but it is now available once more in a revised edition with an updated catalogue raisonne. At the same time this magnificent volume provides an insight into the artist's life through letters, sketches and documents. Rudolf Leopold recognised back in the 1950s Schiele's outstanding significance for art.

The monograph presented Schiele's paintings, watercolours and drawings chronologically in large-format colour plates. It is complemented by a profound examination of his motifs, studies, sketches and documents and provides a comprehensive overview. The current edition pays tribute to Leopold's achievement and the revised catalogue raisonne reflects the current state of research.

Restorative Cities


Overcrowding, noise and air pollution, long commutes and lack of daylight can take a huge toll on the mental well-being of city-dwellers. With mental healthcare services under increasing pressure, could a better approach to urban design and planning provide a solution? The restrictions faced by city residents around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic has brought home just how much urban design can affect our mental health – and created an imperative to seize this opportunity. Restorative Cities explores a new way of designing cities, one which places mental health and wellness at the forefront. Establishing a blueprint for urban design for mental health, it examines a range of strategies – from sensory architecture to place-making for creativity and community – and brings a genuinely evidence-based approach that will appeal to designers and planners, health practitioners and researchers alike - and provide compelling insights for anyone who cares about how our surroundings affect us. Written by a psychiatrist and public health specialist, and an environmental psychologist with extensive experience of architectural practice, this much-needed work will prompt debate and inspire built environment students and professionals to think more about the positive potential of their designs for mental well-being.

Design and Digital Interfaces


Are digital interfaces controlling more than we realise? Can designers take responsibility, and should they? From domestic appliances like Siri and Amazon Echo, to large scale Facebook manipulation and Google search prediction, digital interfaces are ubiquitous in everyday life and their influences affect how people live, feel and behave. As they grow in complexity and increase integration into our lives we need to address the social, ethical, political and aesthetic responsibilities of those designing and creating the computer systems all around us. Through discussion with cutting-edge designers and thinkers and with international examples, the authors explain how we need an expanded aesthetic, critical and ethical awareness on the part of designers willing to act with sensitivity and understanding towards the people they design for and with. This critical take on the process and implications of interface design looks beyond the mechanics of making, and into the techno-political realm of deliberate and unintended consequences.

Frida Kahlo, Paintings


Among the few women artists who have transcended art history, none had a meteoric rise quite like Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907-1954). Her unmistakable face, depicted in over fifty extraordinary self-portraits, has been admired by generations; along with hundreds of photographs taken by notable artists such as Edward Weston, Manuel and Lola Alvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray, and Martin Munkacsi, they made Frida Kahlo an iconic image of 20th century art. After an accident in her early youth, Frida became a painter of her own free will. Her marriage to Diego Rivera in 1929 placed her at the forefront of an artistic scene not only in the cultural Renaissance of Mexico, but also in the United States. Her work garnered praise from the poet Andre Breton, who added the Mexican painter to the ranks of international surrealism and exhibited her work in Paris in 1939 to the admiration of Picasso, Kandinsky, and Duchamp. We access the intimacy of Frida's affections and passions through a selection of drawings, pages from her personal diary, letters, and an extensive illustrated biography featuring photos of Frida, Diego, and the Casa Azul, Frida's home and the center of her universe. This large-format XXL book allows readers to admire Frida Kahlo's paintings like never before, including unprecedented detail shots and famous photographs. It presents pieces in private collections and reproduces works that were previously lost or have not been exhibited for more than 80 years, forming the most extensive study of Kahlo's work and life to date.

Henri Cartier-Bresson: Paris Revisited


Henri Cartier-Bresson was 'the eye of the 20th century' and one of the world's most acclaimed photographers. Paris was his home, on and off, for most of his life (1908-2004). The photographs he took of the city and its people manage to be both dreamlike and free of affectation. Here are around 160 photographs taken over a more than fifty-year career. Mostly in black and white, this selection reveals the strong influence on Cartier-Bresson of pioneering documentary photographer Eugene Atget (1857-1927), and the clear visual links with Surrealism that infused Cartier-Bresson's early pictures. After an apprenticeship with Cubist painter Andre Lhote, in 1932 Cartier-Bresson bought his first Leica, a small portable camera that allowed him to capture movement and the rhythms of daily life in Paris. Cartier-Bresson observed from close quarters the Liberation in August 1944 and the civil disturbances of May 1968. In between he also succeeded in capturing the faces of Parisians in their natural habitat, celebrated artists and writers and citizens alike. Ever-attentive to different ways of portraying the city around him, Cartier-Bresson returned to drawing during the last two decades of his life. This collection is not only a superb portrait of Paris in the 20th century, it is testament to Cartier-Bresson's skill as a supreme observer of human life.

Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji


Famous First Edition: First printing of 6,000 numbered copies Mount Fuji has long been a centerpiece of Japanese cultural imagination, and nothing captures this with more virtuosity than the landmark woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849). The renowned printmaker documents 19th-century Japan with exceptional artistry and adoration, celebrating its countryside, cities, people, and serene natural beauty. Produced at the peak of Hokusai's artistic ambition, the series is a quintessential work of ukiyo-e that earned the artist world-wide recognition as a leading master of his craft. The prints illustrate Hokusai's own obsession with Mount Fuji as well as the flourishing domestic tourism of the late Edo period. Just as the mountain was a cherished view for travelers heading to the capital Edo (now Tokyo) along the Tokaido road, Mount Fuji is the infallible backdrop to each of the series' unique scenes. Hokusai captures the distinctive landscape and provincial charm of each setting with a vivid palette and exquisite detail. Including the iconic Under the Great Wave off Kanagawa (also The Great Wave), this widely celebrated series is a treasure of international art history. Among only a few complete reprints of the series, this XXL edition pays homage to Hokusai's striking colors and compositions with unprecedented care and magnitude. Bound in the Japanese tradition with uncut paper, Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji presents the original 36 plates plus the additional 10 later added by the artist. The perfect companion piece to TASCHEN's One Hundred Views of Edo and The Sixty-Nine Stations along the Kisokaido, this publication paints an enchanting picture of pre-industrial Japan and is itself a stunning monument to the art of woodblock printing.

This edition offers the complete and haunting Bosch world in one compact format. Through full spreads and carefully curated details, we explore the full reach and compelling inventions of the artist's genius as well as disturbing imagination. We encounter his hybrid creatures, his nightmarish scenarios, his religious and moral framework, and his pictorial versions of contemporary proverbs and idioms. Along the way, art historian and Bosch expert Stefan Fischer reveals the most important themes and influences in these cryptic, mesmerizing masterpieces.
