Life of Music


Nicholas Kenyon explores the enduring appeal of the classical canon at a moment when we can access all music-across time and cultures "At its lively best when Kenyon's own passions are laid bare, . . . his belief, above all, in the power of music to unite individual and community."-Fiona Maddocks, The Observer Immersed in music for much of his life as writer, broadcaster and concert presenter, former director of the BBC Proms, Nicholas Kenyon has long championed an astonishingly wide range of composers and performers. Now, as we think about culture in fresh ways, Kenyon revisits the stories that make up the classical tradition and foregrounds those which are too often overlooked. This inclusive, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic guide highlights the achievements of the women and men, amateurs and professionals, who bring music to life. Taking us from pianist Myra Hess's performance in London during the Blitz, to John Adams's composition of a piece for mourners after New York's 9/11 attacks, to Italian opera singers singing from their balconies amidst the 2020 pandemic, Kenyon shows that no matter how great the crisis, music has the power to bring us together. His personal, celebratory account transforms our understanding of how classical music is made-and shows us why it is more relevant than ever.

Under Discussion: The Encyclopedic Museum


Over the last two decades, the encyclopedic museum has been criticized and praised, constantly discussed, and often in the news. Encyclopedic museums are a phenomenon of Europe and the United States, and their locations and mostly Eurocentric collections have in more recent years drawn attention to what many see as bias. Debates on provenance in general, cultural origins, and restitutions of African heritage have exerted pressure on encyclopedic museums, and indeed on all matter of museums. Is there still a place for an institution dedicated to gathering, preserving, and showcasing all the world's cultures? Donatien Grau's conversations with international arts officials, museum leaders, artists, architects, and journalists go beyond the history of the encyclopedic format and the last decades' issues that have burdened existing institutions. Are encyclopedic museums still relevant? What can they contribute when the Internet now seems to offer the greater encyclopedia? How important is it for us to have in-person access to objects from all over the world that can directly articulate something to us about humanity? The fresh ideas and nuances of new voices on the core principles important to museums in Dakar, Abu Dhabi, and Mumbai complement some of the world's arts leaders from European and American institutions-resulting in some revealing and unexpected answers. Every interviewee offers differing views, making for exciting, stimulating reading.

Nádej umenia v dobe hyperestetiky


Ako nám umenie pomáha obnovovať nádej? Aký je rozdiel medzi umením a hyperestetikou? Prečo sú zmysluplnosť, spiritualita a závažnosť hlavné znaky umenia? Nakoľko je pri stretnutí s umením dôležitá kontemplácia, ticho a pomalosť? Pri teoretickom uvažovaní o uvedených otázkach autorka vždy vychádza z interpretácie konkrétneho umeleckého diela. V knihe sa preto čitateľ stretne napríklad s týmito autormi a dielami: s videoartom Billa Violu The Raft, básňou Tomasa Tranströmera Z marca 1979, inštaláciou Jannisa Kounellisa Tragédia civilnosti a s viacerými filmami (Sean Penn: Útek do divočiny, Kim Ki-duk: Jar, leto, jeseň, zima... a jar, Ruben Östlund: Štvorec, Terrence Malick: Strom života). Práve prostredníctvom reflexie zážitkových kvalít a osobitých významov daných diel autorka dospieva k všeobecnejším zisteniam o takých antropologických aspektoch súčasného umenia, ktoré sú schopné revitalizovať, dnes tak naliehavo potrebný, nádejný životný modus človeka.

Louise Bourgeois, Freuds Daughter


An exploration of the art and writing of Louise Bourgeois through the lens of her relationship with Freudian psychoanalysis From 1952 to 1985, Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) underwent extensive Freudian analysis that probed her family history, marriage, motherhood, and artistic ambition-and generated inspiration for her artwork. Examining the impact of psychoanalysis on Bourgeois's work, this volume offers insight into her creative process. Philip Larratt-Smith, Bourgeois's literary archivist, provides an overview of the artist's life and work and the ways in which the psychoanalytic process informed her artistic practice. An essay by Juliet Mitchell offers a cutting-edge feminist psychoanalyst's viewpoint on the artist's long and complex relationship with therapy. In addition, a short text written by Bourgeois (first published in 1991) addresses Freud's own relationship to art and artists. Featuring excerpts from Bourgeois's copious diaries, rarely seen notebook pages, and archival family photographs, Louise Bourgeois, Freud's Daughter opens exciting new avenues for understanding an innovative, influential, and groundbreaking artist whose wide-ranging work includes not only renowned large-scale sculptures but also a plethora of paintings and prints.

Gio Ponti


To study Gio Ponti's prolific body of work is to appreciate the clear, unifying vision behind a complex creative universe. A synthesis of the arts, his creations expand intuitively with the Italian grandeur and studied lightness that defined his iconic style. Ponti's rare capacity to move seamlessly between scales allowed him to approach the design of a teaspoon with the same conviction as he did an entire city. He was as much an architect and designer as he was a publisher, poet, and man. A treasure in its own regard, his contribution is also a distinctive landmark of Italy's mid-century Renaissance and the modernist values it sought to realize. This new book is the most comprehensive account of Ponti's work to date, unprecedented in scale and scope. It tracks the development of his oeuvre over 6 decades, with 136 projects indexed and reproduced in high resolution, each object framed by the context in which Ponti had created it. Like windows onto his elusive life, unpublished materials and candid imagery create new dialogues between his famous masterpieces and his lesser-known feats. A rich layer of texts, featuring an extensive biographical essay by Stefano Casciani, was produced in close collaboration with the Gio Ponti Archives offering an intimate insight on his life's work. Materializing Ponti's core philosophy of modernity, this book presents architecture as a performing object, a "self-illuminating" stage for his humanistic art de vivre and boundless creativity.

Along the way, he provides insights into the creative process, his working life, his relationship with clients, and the struggles that any design professional faces in bringing innovative ideas to the world today. This revised and expanded edition of Bierut's bestselling monograph features new projects for major clients, such as Mastercard and The Poetry Foundation. Inspiring, informative and authoritative, How to... is a bible of graphic design ideas.

A tetten ért halál


A tetten ért halál című könyvnek, amely angolul Death in the making címmel 1938-ban jelent meg, még nem volt magyar kiadása. Ez az új reprint kiadás, egy fotótörténeti ritkaság, pontos mása az 1938-as kötetnek, de az eredeti papírképek és negatívok felhasználásával új másolatok készültek hozzá, és kiegészült egy történeti igényű esszével. A fotók szerzőségét is sikerült pontosan azonosítani, ennek során derült fény arra, hogy közülük néhányat Robert Capa és Gerda Taro mellett barátjuk, Chim készítette. A képszövegeket Robert Capa, az előszót Jay Allen írta. A könyvet André Kertész tervezte. A tetten ért halál fényképeken keresztül követi nyomon a spanyol polgárháború első évének eseményeit. A fotók és az azokat kísérő szövegek egy rendkívüli időszakban ragadják meg a diadalmas pillanatokat, és rajzolják ki a háborús borzalmak krónikájának ívét: a demokratikusan megválasztott spanyol kormány védelmében a köztársasági erők összefognak, hogy leverjék a Francisco Franco tábornok vezette fasiszta felkelést. Képi rekviem ez, mely emléket állít a kezükben fegyverrel elesett harcolók ezreiről. 1937 őszén, amikor ez a kötet készült, már világosan látszott, mennyire megszenvedi a spanyol köztársaság, hogy számos európai ország és az Egyesült Államok - a be nem avatkozás politikáját választva - elárulta ügyüket. A tetten ért halál elégikus hangvételű tisztelgés az áldozatvállalás előtt. Robert Capa huszonöt éves volt, amikor A tetten ért halál megszületett. Az ő képein kívül Gerda Taro német fotóriporter - ő 1937 júliusában vesztette életét a spanyol fronton -, valamint lengyel kollégájuk, Chim képei fejezik ki a szenvedélyes hitet és elköteleződést a demokrácia egyik legnemesebb ügye mellett.

Smích /od hlavy až k patě/


Doba covidová smíchu moc nepřála. Ale potlačit jej nelze, na bolavou dobu je to nenahraditelný lék. Jiří Mevald zachytil za svou dlouhou reportérskou dráhu tento krásný lidský projev v mnoha podobách – před objektivem jeho fotoaparátů se smáli herci, zpěváci, politici, sportovci i kolemjdoucí. Snad tato publikace přinese inspiraci a potěšení pro duši všem, kteří ji vezmou do ruky. V publikaci Jiřího Mevalda jsou zachyceny osobnosti známé i neznámé v okamžicích, kdy netuší, že jsou v hledáčku fotoaparátu. Tak je zachycen smích, úsměv, chechot, někdy i řehot. Od ucha k uchu. Vznikla tak ojedinělá kolekce snímků, která připomíná vzácné okamžiky, které nás spojují. Okamžiky, kdy nic nepředstíráme a zažíváme obyčejný kus radosti a pocitu štěstí.

Azzedine Alaia


Peter Lindbergh and Azzedine Alaia, the photographer and the couturier, were united by their love of black, a love that they would cultivate alike in silver print and solid color garments. Lindbergh ceaselessly turned to black and white to signify his search for authenticity in the faces he brought to light. Alaia drew on the monochrome of timeless clothes to create veritable sculptures for the body. In this book, the unique dialogue between the two artists is immortalized in print. Illustrating their community of spirit, its images are a celebration of their artistic partnership and testament to their history-making achievements in photography and fashion. Despite their geographically opposed origins, Lindbergh and Alaia pursued similar horizons. At the same time as Lindbergh's reputation in Germany was growing thanks to his work in Stern magazine, and he set up his studio in Paris in 1978, Alaia was the couturier shrouded in discretion whose sophisticated techniques were a treasured secret amongst the most important clients of Haute Couture. Alaia became the architect of bodies, revealing and unveiling them, while Lindbergh distinguished them by shining a light on their soul and personality. Step by step, they became the creators that dominated their respective disciplines. Both rejected any artifice that distracted from their true subject, and it is with great ease that they came together for a number of powerful collaborations. Shared inspirations and aesthetic values are visible throughout their work. A beach in Le Touquet and the streets of old Paris reference a mutual love of black and white cinema and vast panoramas. The backdrop of an engine room illustrates the memory of an industrial German landscape for one and references the inordinate passion for functional design and architecture held by the other. Alaia's clothes act as pedestals for the smiles and eyes of the women who wear them: Nadja Auermann, Mariacarla Boscono, Naomi Campbell, Anna Cleveland, Dilone, Lucy Dixon, Vanessa Duve, Helene Fischer, Pia Frithiof, Jade Jagger, Maria Johnson, Milla Jovovich, Lynne Koester, Ariane Koizumi, Yasmin Le Bon, Madonna, Kristen McMenamy, Tatjana Patitz, Linda Spierings, Tina Turner, Marie-Sophie Wilson, Lindsey Wixson. For Lindbergh, who built his notoriety on the images of these supermodels, the authenticity of their traits is all that matters. The result is a potent black and white catalogue that reverberates with truthfulness and beauty.The book accompanies the exhibition Azzedine Alaia, Peter Lindbergh at the Fondation Azzedine Alaia, 18 rue de la verrerie, Paris, France.

Toys


Up until the 20th century, children's play was not a subject that demanded much attention. While objects that entertained children have been present from ancient history, it was only with industrial mass production-and a developing urban middle class-that toys appeared more frequently. As playthings began to display a robust economic performance, an industry rose to provide this new market with the objects of their desire. European manufacturers dominated the toy market, with Germany, in particular, supplying the American market with the bulk of both singular and mass-produced products. World War I ended its dominance, and by the 1920s, bolstered by American ingenuity, an ever-growing consumer culture supported by the media empires of newspapers, radio, and television, American toys became ubiquitous in the consumer market. Ranging from the simple to the complex, children were inundated with a commodity to be wished for and sold to by the millions. From frilly dolls to science sets, children were marketed to with gusto, first through magazines and comic books and later through television. Toys fell along familiar gender lines all while being developed with the unspoken subtext of stimulating developing minds and being vehicles of problem solving with educational value. If the first part of the 20th century represented the rise of toys in America, the postwar period signaled a market unleashed by the baby boom. That one event gained traction for the toy industry and propelled it to its current state. Unforeseen was the next chapter in the industry-the advancement of the technical revolution-which would create another dimension of toy products that would captivate both children and adults as one century blended into the next.In the world of toy production, the multimillion dollar industry took the advertising of their product seriously, and toy manufacturers inundated customers with their latest product via trade journals. In New York City, the hub of the toy industry for most of the 20th century, annual trade shows introduced a deluge of new playthings to the buying public. Frisbees, board games, baseball mitts, Hula-Hoops, air rifles, video games, dolls, and miniature trains were all served up to generations of children, cementing forever the memories playtime. Filled with a Santa's sack full of surprises Toys. 100 Hundred Years of All-American Toy Ads takes us down the aisles of America's toy store delivering the favorites and forgotten memories of toys that were hugged and hoarded, saved and disposed of, and now finally brought back in their pristine glory. Once again it's Christmas, your birthday, and a reward for a job well-done.
