Jak se starým domem a jak ne


Václav Girsa je architekt, který zasvětil svou tvorbu záchraně významných památek (zámek v Českém Krumlově, hrad Bezděz nebo Müllerova vila). Je také uznávaným esejistou a spisovatelem. Kniha Jak se starým domem a jak ne není klasická příručka, ale jde o syntézu praktických rad, odborných poznatků a nezastupitelných zkušeností. Připomíná, že k architektuře minulosti se má přistupovat s respektem k materiálové podstatě i ke kulturní paměti, a zároveň varuje před necitlivými zásahy, které ji mohou nenávratně poškodit. Václav Girsa je strhující vyprávěč, jenž ukazuje, jak i zdánlivě obyčejný dům může být zdrojem inspirace, poznání a radosti. Péče, kterou do něj vložíme, se nám mnohonásobně vrátí. Kniha Jak se starým domem a jak ne završuje autorský triptych (Postižen pamětí, 2023; A jak to bylo dál, 2024), v němž se autorův osobní příběh organicky propojuje s odborným pohledem. Vzniklo tak jedinečné svědectví o vztahu člověka k památkám, ke kultuře i každodennímu životu, které má univerzální platnost.

With a focus on functionality, sustainability and compelling esthetic concepts, this volume presents a variety of approaches that will shape the school landscape of tomorrow. From elementary schools to high schools, the book offers insights into innovative concepts that are transforming learning and teaching and shows how pedagogy can be implemented in architecture in a contemporary and qualitative way.

Picturebook Makers: Part 2


Following the success of part one, twelve more world-class picturebook makers share their processes, inspire us with stunning illustrations, and demonstrate the immense creative potential of this unique and dynamic art form. Far from being simple, picturebook creation can be a complex, lengthy and enigmatic process. Part two of the Picturebook Makers series once again gives voice to twelve much-loved contemporary picturebook artists. With great generosity, the international creators share their processes, inspirations, challenges, doubts, insights, and show us that "the unseen evolution of an idea is as interesting as the final result", as observed by Shaun Tan in part one of this series. The intimate talks with the creators allow us to not only discover the myriad of ways in which the initial idea for a picturebook can arise, but also the wildly different creative processes which inform the development of each work. As Meghan Cox Gurdon observes in her review of Picturebook Makers in The Wall Street Journal: “There’s mystery in the process and, with luck, magic in the outcome.” The Picturebook Makers series reveals the picturebook’s immense creative potential, celebrates outstanding international picturebooks and their creators, and constitutes an inspiring collection of picturebook knowledge for anyone interested in this unique and dynamic art form. Featuring Carson Ellis, Axel Scheffler, Anna Höglund, Sydney Smith, Kristin Roskifte, André Letria, Issa Watanabe, Valerio Vidali, Anete Melece, Vincent Pianina, Marika Maijala, and Jimmy Liao.

Sebastiao Salgado. Amazonia. 45th Ed.


Sebastiao Salgado traveled the Brazilian Amazon and photographed the unparalleled beauty of this extraordinary region for six years: the forest, the rivers, the mountains, the people who live there—an irreplaceable treasure of humanity. Salgado described the Brazilian Amazon as "the last frontier, a mysterious universe of its own, where the immense power of nature can be felt as nowhere else on earth. Here is a forest stretching to infinity that contains one-tenth of all living plant and animal species, the world’s largest single natural laboratory.” Salgado visited a dozen indigenous tribes that exist in small communities scattered across the largest tropical rainforest in the world. He documented the daily life of the Yanomami, the Asháninka, the Yawanawá, the Suruwahá, the Zo’é, the Kuikuro, the Waurá, the Kamayurá, the Korubo, the Marubo, the Awá, and the Macuxi—their warm family bonds, their hunting and fishing, the manner in which they prepare and share meals, their marvelous talent for painting their faces and bodies, the significance of their shamans, and their dances and rituals. Sebastiao Salgado has dedicated this book to the indigenous peoples of Brazil’s Amazon region: “My wish, with all my heart, with all my energy, with all the passion I possess, is that in 50 years’ time this book will not resemble a record of a lost world. Amazônia must live on.” INSTITUTO TERRA Founded in 1998 at Aimorés in the state of Minas Gerais, Instituto Terra is the culmination of Lélia Wanick Salgado and Sebastiao Salgado’s lifelong activism and work as cultural documentarians. Through a scientific program of planting and raising saplings, the organization has performed a miraculous reforestation of the once infertile region and furthered the Salgados’ mission of reversing the damage done to our planet.

Šťastnou cestu, kamaráde


Vzpomínkový knižní katalog na ostravsko-valmezského malíře Karla Noska (1991–2020). Nosek se uměl pohybovat na pomezí. Jeho malby někdy více, někdy méně insitní, byly dynamizovány pohybem, rychlostí, nebo expresivní gesticitou, nezřídka do obrazových ploch vmalovával textové poznámky. Rozhodně diváka nenechal klidným a pod rouškou vtipných narativů ukrýval kritické ostny. Malbou se tak pokoušel o angažovaný impakt témat podstatných pro celou společnost.

Leonardo – Az utolsó vacsora


A keresztény művészet számos halhatatlan mesterművel büszkélkedhet, de egyik sem ábrázolta a kereszténység misztériumát olyan megrendítően, mint Leonardo da Vinci Az utolsó vacsora című festménye. A szerző, Michael Ladwein művészettörténész és vallásbölcsész számos, gondos restaurálás által visszanyert részletre ráirányítja figyelmünket, amelyek új értelmezéshez vezethetnek, és rávilágít egy olyan mű sokoldalúságára, amelynek művészi és spirituális üzenete a mai napig semmit sem vesztett erejéből. Rudolf Steiner az emberiség legjelentősebb műalkotásának nevezi ezt a festményt, amely "lehetővé teszi, hogy felismerjük a Föld létezésének valódi értelmét".

Sebastiao Salgado. Genesis. 45th Ed.


A photographic homage to our planet “In GENESIS, my camera allowed nature to speak to me. And it was my privilege to listen.” —Sebastiao Salgado On a very fortuitous day in 1970, 26-year-old Sebastiao Salgado held a camera for the first time. When he looked through the viewfinder, he experienced a revelation: suddenly life made sense. From that day onward—though it took years of hard work before he had the experience to earn his living as a photographer—the camera became his tool for interacting with the world. Salgado, who “always preferred the chiaroscuro palette of black-and-white images,” shot very little color in his early career before giving it up completely. Raised on a farm in Brazil, Salgado possessed a deep love and respect for nature; he was also particularly sensitive to the ways in which human beings are affected by their often devastating socio-economic conditions. Of the myriad works Salgado has produced in his acclaimed career, three long-term projects stand out: Workers (1993), documenting the vanishing way of life of manual laborers across the world; Migrations (2000), a tribute to mass migration driven by hunger, natural disasters, environmental degradation and demographic pressure; and this new opus, GENESIS, the result of an epic eight-year expedition to rediscover the mountains, deserts and oceans, the animals and peoples that have so far escaped the imprint of modern society—the land and life of a still-pristine planet. “Some 46% of the planet is still as it was in the time of genesis,” Salgado reminds us. “We must preserve what exists.” The GENESIS project, along with the Salgados’ Instituto Terra, are dedicated to showing the beauty of our planet, reversing the damage done to it, and preserving it for the future. Over 30 trips—traveled by foot, light aircraft, seagoing vessels, canoes, and even balloons, through extreme heat and cold and in sometimes dangerous conditions—Salgado created a collection of images showing us nature, animals, and indigenous peoples in breathtaking beauty. What does one discover in GENESIS? The animal species and volcanoes of the Galápagos; penguins, sea lions, cormorants, and whales of the Antarctic and South Atlantic; Brazilian alligators and jaguars; African lions, leopards, and elephants; the isolated Zo’é tribe deep in the Amazon jungle; the Stone Age Korowai people of West Papua; nomadic Dinka cattle farmers in Sudan; Nenet nomads and their reindeer herds in the Arctic Circle; Mentawai jungle communities on islands west of Sumatra; the icebergs of the Antarctic; the volcanoes of Central Africa and the Kamchatka Peninsula; Saharan deserts; the Negro and Juruá rivers in the Amazon; the ravines of the Grand Canyon; the glaciers of Alaska... and beyond. Having dedicated so much time, energy, and passion to the making of this work, Salgado calls GENESIS “my love letter to the planet.”

Lynchian


'What is it about David Lynch's cinematic bag of tricks - his shots of shadows and flickering electricity, his sinister soundscapes and his heartfelt scores, his dreamlike irrational stories - that affects us so deeply? How can he present us with trees swaying in the wind, or a character suddenly becoming another person, or more questions than answers, and it stays with us forever? And why is it that, when somebody else uses his tricks, it does not achieve the same results?' The loss of David Lynch in January 2025 produced an extraordinary outpouring of love and grief that revealed how deeply he mattered. But the strength and size of this reaction came as a surprise to many. In life, Lynch was a wilfully obtuse cult filmmaker who had been unable to get a film financed for the last two decades of his life. In death, both the man himself and his work are unquestionably in the pantheon of all-time greats. He leaves behind an adjective, 'Lynchian', a term used to describe work that echoes his. And yet, only Lynch could be truly Lynchian, and those who copy him fail to have an impact. So why does his work affect people so deeply? Why do some find it haunting and unforgettable while others dismiss it as meaningless? Answering that question takes us into the strange realms of psychology, art and theology. We will discover why ambiguity and mystery are so seductive, how Lynch's creative and meditative practices overlapped and why a director whose work contains so much abuse of women has such a female-skewing fanbase. Through a personal, first-person lens, Lynchian unpacks the mystery but refuses to solve the enigma of an artist whose work reshaped cinema from the inside out - where story gives way to dreams, and meaning lies not in answers, but in experience.

Pozdně osvícenská dramaturgie Jana Vedrala


Knižní rozhovor s významným českým divadelním a rozhlasovým dramaturgem, dramatikem a pedagogem Janem Vedralem (* 1955) nabízí unikátní možnost sledovat na osudu jednoho tvůrce vývoj české divadelní a rozhlasové tvorby posledního půlstoletí. Kniha přitom nepředstavuje tradiční životopis jedné osobnosti, spojené nejvíce s pražským Divadlem na Vinohradech, jako spíše poutavý a zaujatý průhled do tvůrčího zákulisí, v němž se na pozadí autorova života dovídáme leccos dosud neznámého o pozadí klíčových událostí novodobé české divadelní a rozhlasové kultury. Jako člověk stojící uvnitř kulturního dění Vedral odkrývá mechanismy normalizační cenzury, postupné tání v letech osmdesátých, následně v rozsáhlé kapitole dosud málo historiograficky zpracované období transformace české kultury v letech devadesátých, včetně osobního zapojení do zásadních kulturně diplomatických snah o stabilizaci české kulturní sféry v podmínkách tržního hospodářství, až po poslední angažmá v novém tisíciletí. Důležitou součástí knihy je pak také Vedralovo angažmá pedagogické, i tuto profesi přitom sledujeme ve vývojových fázích, s ohledem na komplementárnost všech tvůrčích oblastí, v nichž se autor po celý život pohyboval. Rozhovor s profesorem Vedralem vedl a knihu připravil rozhlasový a divadelní historik Tomáš Bojda. Kniha je doplněna rozsáhlým jmenným rejstříkem a vychází k sedmdesátým narozeninám Jana Vedrala. – Vydání knihy ve spolupráci s Univerzitou Palackého v Olomouci podpořilo Ministerstvo kultury ČR.

A History of the World in 50 Pieces


Explore how music has changed our world through 50 pieces across classical, folk and world traditions with BBC presenter Tom Service, in this official Radio 3 compendium. Music transports us and defines us. As a form of expression, it has been passed down through oral tradition, musical notation and recordings in a chain of connection that spans the globe, across the millennia. A History of the World in 50 Pieces follows that chain, collating 50 pieces of classical music that reflect our changing politics, social structures and technological development, and how composers, musicians and listeners have shaped those currents of history. From Bach to Beethoven, Songlines to Saariaho, Hildegard of Bingen to the Happy Birthday song, Tom Service offers a fresh take on pieces that many of us think we know, and many more we might not. With each short, sharp analysis, he expands the typical canon and tests the boundaries of what we understand to be 'classical music' - or even music at all, such as the sounds of the earth's rotation, and the songs of humpback whales. An official BBC Radio 3 publication, A History of the World in 50 Pieces is a book for anyone curious about the power of music and how it shapes us and connects us.

The Hidden Language of Flowers


Thirty botanical species represented in as many works in the Museo del Prado: outstanding paintings and sculptures from the permanent collection. This volume focuses on thirty botanical species represented in as many works in the Museo del Prado: outstanding paintings and sculptures from the permanent collection, such as Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights, Van der Weyden's The Descent from the Cross and Fra Angelico's The Annunciation. Each of the thirty plants is accompanied by a commentary by Eduardo Barba and a botanical illustration by Juan Luis Castillo, as well as a complete detailed reproduction of the work in the Museum. In the words of Eduardo Barba: ‘Many works of art are full of plants. In others, they are a little more hidden. In all cases, botany is an indispensable part of the story that the artist wants to tell: there are flowers that allude to the dynasty of the person portrayed, leaves that sum up a feeling, trees that transmit to the scene qualities that are specific to them. The species chosen could be present in the artist's surroundings, even at the foot of his studio. On other occasions, however, and as a result of expeditions to different parts of the world, exotic plants from distant countries were incorporated, enriching the artistic flora, especially from the 16th century onwards. In any case, the works of art bear witness to the fascinating ability of artists to observe the natural environment, who portrayed plants with delicacy, as if they were just another character.

William Eggleston: The Last Dyes


This momentous publication catalogues the last major group of William Eggleston’s photographs to ever be produced using the dye-transfer method, the format in which he originally presented his work. Eggleston’s vivid photographs transform the ordinary into distinctive, poetic images that eschew fixed meaning. One of the foremost practitioners in the medium’s history, Eggleston is widely considered the father of color photography. He pioneered the use of dye-transfer printing for art photography in the 1970s. The technically advanced process?first developed by Kodak in the 1940s?allowed him to achieve the richness of tonal depth and color saturation that he had been searching for. In the early 1990s, Kodak stopped producing the dyes, paper, and film used in the process. With the necessary materials now discontinued, and the bulk of what remained being used for the major group of work presented at David Zwirner in Los Angeles, The Last Dyes marks the final presentation of new works completed in this medium. The publication includes a new essay by Jeffrey Kastner, offering critical insights into Eggleston’s enduring influence at this turning point in the history of photography

Patti Smith - Horses, Paris 1976


Patti Smith: Horses, Paris 1976 is a gorgeous collection of never-before-published photographs of music legend Patti Smith, taken by rock-n-roll photographer Claude Gassian during the release of her iconic album Horses. "A big and beautiful gift-worthy holiday art book" (New York Times) In 1975, Patti Smith released Horses, a seminal album in punk and rock music history. Lauded by critics, and often cited as the first punk rock album, Horses has influenced artists like U2, Madonna, and R.E.M. Over the following year, she and her band visited Paris multiple times to perform, to accept awards, and to absorb the city's culture. Gassian beautifully captures this moment in time. As Patti writes, Claude Gassian's photography is "a glimpse of the highly charged atmosphere of 1976 and the joyful hubris of a rock n' roll band." These are previously unpublished images that show a young artist on the cusp of world stardom, and they will be catnip for her fans and for music historians.
