The United States of Fashion


In their February 2021 issue, Vogue launched The United States of Fashion, a project that shines a spotlight on the creativity and craft flourishing throughout the country. Exploring the innovation and entrepreneurialism that defines American fashion, Vogue goes coast to coast from Detroit to El Paso to Indianapolis to Nashville, where the most exciting new designers are creating and designing locally. This book features a wide array of fashion voices across the nation, who share self-generated images and narratives on how they define and identify with fashion now. New, never-before-seen photographs and anecdotes, not published in the pages of Vogue, come from fashion designers Laura and Kate Mulleavy of Rodarte, Jeremy Scott, and Libertine; photographers Alex Webb and June Canedo; and craftspeople Ariana Boussard-Reifel and Ataumbi Metals. The book contains texts by esteemed writers, from Louise Erdrich s words on Native American fashion and music editor Suzy Exposito s account of being goth in Miami, to new ways of creating sustainable, recycled fashion. These accounts create a living biography of the evolution and democratisation of fashion today. A rich tapestry of style in America, The United States of Fashion will appeal to readers interested in fashion, design, culture, and photography.

Extreme Like a Girl


Whether it's diving off a cliff, cross-country skiing in Antarctica, or free climbing the Picos de Europe in Northern Spain, women in extreme sports are proving every bit as strong, determined and ambitious as their male peers. As in her extremely popular previous books, Surf Like a Girl and Skate Like a Girl, Carolina Amell has compiled spectacular photography that evokes the thrill and beauty of female nontraditional sports in every corner of the world. There's Lynn Jung tackling a parkour course with exquisite grace; Anna von Boetticher skimming the ocean floor hundreds of feet below the surface; Heather Larsen slacklining across a canyon wall; Ashley Fiolek, the world's only deaf professional motocross racer, kicking up dirt on her BMX bike; and other female wakeboarders, Pro-Base jumpers, aerobatic pilots, wingsuit pilots, and, ironically, Ironman champions. Each of the athletes contributes her own motivating words of encouragement that will inspire girls of every age and from every culture to chase their dreams, shatter every glass ceiling, kick down the men's clubhouse door-and have fun doing it all.

Dior and Roses


Christian Dior discovered gardening at his childhood home in Granville, France. Roses profoundly influenced the designer, especially with his famous New Look aesthetic, where they were placed beneath the iconic corolla symbol. Published on the occasion of the exhibition at the Musee Christian Dior in Granville, this volume explores the rose's importance in Dior's history. The inspiration for Christian Dior's flowery vision of femininity runs deep throughout the House's collections; reinventions by subsequent artistic directors pay homage to Dior's wish to design dresses for flower-like women. A focus on a new variety of rose, the Rose de Granville, underscores the perennial significance of the rose today-from inspiring Haute Couture creations to perfume making. This fascinating immersion in Dior's universe continues with texts by experts Eric Pujalet-Plaa, Vincent Leret, and Brigitte Richart, accompanied by sublime photographs, including shots by the most acclaimed twentieth-century masters as well as contemporary photography.

Luiz Zerbini: Botanica, Monotypes 2016-2020


Exquisite monotypes celebrating the beauty of plants by transforming them into inky abstractions Though he has engaged with a variety of mediums--watercolor, photography, sculpture--Brazilian artist Luiz Zerbini (born 1959) has devoted the past several years to the creation of monotypes. He selects leaves, flowers and branches for their distinctive shapes and textures and places them on an inked metal plate. He then lays a large sheet of paper over the plate so that the botanical compositions are transferred onto the page. The result is a large-scale monotype print that immerses the viewer in the minute details of a plant's anatomy. High contrast, with a minimal palette of browns, blacks and greens, these images blur the distinction between figuration and abstraction. Over the past four years, the artist has created more than 300 monotypes in this style, working from within major museum institutions in Brazil. Now, Zerbini has collaborated with the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain to collect the entire series in a single large-format volume. In these images, readers can appreciate his dedication to both the craft of printmaking and the preservation of the world's natural beauty in unexpected ways.

The Eiffel Tower


"The Tower is also present to the entire world... a universal symbol of Paris... from the Midwest to Australia, there is no journey to France which isn't made, somehow, in the Tower's name." - Roland Barthes When Gustave Eiffel completed his wrought iron tower on Paris's Champ de Mars for the World's Fair in 1889, he laid claim to the tallest structure in the world. Though the Chrysler Building would, 41 years later, scrape an even higher sky, the Eiffel Tower lost none of its lofty wonder: originally granted just a 20-year permit, the Tower became a permanent and mesmerizing fixture on the Parisian skyline. Commanding by day, twinkling by night, it has mesmerized Francophiles and lovers, writers, artists, and dreamers from all over the world, welcoming around seven million visitors every single year. Based on an original, limited edition folio by Gustave Eiffel himself, this fresh TASCHEN edition explores the concept and construction of this remarkable building. Step by step, one latticework layer after another, Eiffel's iconic design evolves over double-page plates, meticulous drawings, and on-site photographs, including new images and even more historical context. The result is at once a gem of vintage architecture and a unique insight into the idea behind an icon.

Hudba: Podvratné dějiny


Dějiny možná píšou vítězové. Muziku však mají na svědomí rebelové. Pro většinu lidí jsou dějiny hudby pouze matným pojmem ze školních učebnic, s nímž má jejich vlastní posluchačský zájem jen málo společného. Pestrému dvacátému století předcházejí portréty vážných skladatelů a napudrovaných paruk. Dál do minulosti už je jen doba chorálů, lidových písní, louten a temna. Archeologické nálezy a historické zkoumání však ukazují, že hudba člověka provází od počátku lidstva: písně byly důležitou součástí lovu i duchovního života, šumění lučních trav znělo jako koncert. Proč se tedy z dějin hudby staly nudné zástupy úspěšných mužů? Hudební historik a kritik Ted Gioia ve své odvážné knize tvrdí, že to je dáno obecně revolučními možnostmi hudby. Společnost musela nejdříve rebely potlačit a až následně jejich inovace zpracovala do krotkého hudebního kánonu. Vyprávět dějiny hudby proto pro Gioiu znamená vyprávět příběhy odpadlíků a podivínů, kteří hledali nové způsoby, jak, kde a pro koho vyluzovat zvuky či jen poslouchat.

The Piano


A fascinating history of the piano explored through 100 pieces chosen by one of the UK's most renowned concert pianists "Tomes . . . casts her net widely, taking in chamber music and concertos, knotty avant-garde masterworks and (most welcome) jazz."-Richard Fairman, Financial Times, "Best Books of 2021: Classical Music" "[One of] the most beautiful books I got my hands on this year. . . . About the shaping of this maddening, glorious, unconquerable instrument."-Jenny Colgan, Spectator, "Books of the Year" An astonishingly versatile instrument, the piano allows just two hands to play music of great complexity and subtlety. For more than two hundred years, it has brought solo and collaborative music into homes and concert halls and has inspired composers in every musical genre-from classical to jazz and light music. Charting the development of the piano from the late eighteenth century to the present day, pianist and writer Susan Tomes takes the reader with her on a personal journey through 100 pieces including solo works, chamber music, concertos, and jazz. Her choices include composers such as Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Robert Schumann, Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Gershwin, and Philip Glass. Looking at this history from a modern performer's perspective, she acknowledges neglected women composers and players including Fanny Mendelssohn, Maria Szymanowska, Clara Schumann, and Amy Beach.

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

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. He was largely responsible for ensuring that the artist received the place he deserved in art history and public awareness. 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.
