The debut book from renowned pixel artist Waneella, showcasing a decade of her distinctive pixelated landscape compositions. This stunning volume documents Waneella's unique journey from novice pixel pusher to world-renowned artist, indisputably the leading name in this reinvention of the once retro pixel-art aesthetic. The book will take us from her early experiments with the pixel-art form creating pseudovideogame visuals, through to the years where her unique style crystallized, fusing sci-fi–tinged architecture, cinematic hints of narrative, and masterful deployment of light sources and shadow. Alongside this complete catalog of her works are several process sections, walking the reader through Waneella's working style, which often initially draws influence from Japanese streets found via Google Street View. Her creative process is explored step by step, detailing the underlying structure, rigorous perspective work, and experimentation that goes into every piece. Each step is accompanied by open and humorous commentary from the artist herself?some of these how-tos will span over twenty steps?making Waneella: Pixelscapes a must-have for her legions of budding pixel-artist followers. Opening with a foreword by Japanese videogame designer Ikumi Nakamura, the book features an in-depth profile, charting Waneella's creative journey in her own words, and artworks often with detailed discursive captions, imparting anecdotal?and invariably funny?information on how each piece came together. 250 illustrations, 200 in color

Most surveys of the history of art come neatly packaged. They are divided up into historic periods, artistic schools and movements, and the careers of individual painters. They may make the subject appear more manageable, but they are oversimplifications. In reality, movements and careers overlapped and intertwined, reacting to events in the world around them. A Chronology of Art places the genuine developments of the art world into sharp focus. By prioritizing a purely chronological approach and side-stepping the clichés of conventional, academic pigeonholes, it presents an entirely fresh perspective on the subject. The book is structured around a central timeline, which features lavish illustrations of paintings, together with commentaries, and additional information about the social, political and cultural events of the period. The text is divided into four historical sections, becoming more detailed as it nears the present. From 1800 onward, each spread covers a five-year span, which is far more comprehensive than other surveys of this kind. The chronological spreads are interwoven with lively ‘In Focus’ features, highlighting social, stylistic and technical developments.

An exclusive look inside world-renowned architect Peter Marino’s private, residential projects In this stunning new collection, internationally acclaimed architect Peter Marino shares a look inside his private, residential projects. In contrast to the architecture and design for his luxury commercial clients – including Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Tiffany & Co. – the residences featured are ones where Marino was allowed almost unlimited creative freedom in both the architectural planning and interior design. Through ten chapters (nine completed residences and a tenth chapter of in-progress houses) with more than 200 images, this book provides a behind-the-scenes look into Marino’s remarkable range of work across the globe with residences in: Southampton and Sagaponack, New York; Aspen, Colorado; Miami, Florida; Summerlin, Nevada; Faqra, Lebanon; the Dominican Republic; Ramatuelle, France; Grace Bay, Turks and Caicos; and Skorpios, Greece. This is the first book on Peter Marino’s residential architecture, and readers can gain insight into his practice and approach to residential design through a preface by Marino himself, an introduction by Pilar Viladas, and profiles of each residence by Sam Lubell.

First came the Teds, then the Mods, Rockers, Hippies, Skinheads, Suedeheads and Punks. But by the late Seventies, a new youth fashion had appeared in Britain. Its adherents were often linked to violent football gangs, wore designer sportswear and made the bootboys of previous years look like the dinosaurs they were. They were known as scallies, Perry Boys, trendies and dressers. But the name that stuck was Casuals. And this grassroots phenomenon, largely ignored by the media, was to change the face of both British fashion and international style. Casuals recounts how the working-class fascination with sharp dressing and sartorial one-upmanship crystallised the often bitter rivalries of the hooligan gangs and how their culture spread across the terraces, clubs and beyond. It is the definitive book for football, music and fashion obsessives alike.

A treasure trove of visual delights: examples of the sketchbooks of sixty international illustrators offer new insights into their artistic practice. Intimate and often unseen, the sketchbook means something different to each illustrator. It might be a beautiful object, a work of art in its own right, where every line is painstakingly considered. It might be a pictorial playground, where mistakes can make art. The boundaries between sketchbooks, notebooks and visual journals are often blurred, lending to the creativity that fills their pages. It is likely that you will recognize many of the illustrators featured, including classic childhood favourites Beatrix Potter, Jean de Brunhoff, Edward Ardizzone and Tove Jansson, and established names such as Beatrice Alemagna, Oliver Jeffers and Shaun Tan. Others are up-and-coming, for example Charlotte Ager and Leah Yang. Martin Salisbury draws on decades of experience as an illustrator and educator to shed light on the lives and work of each artist. He even reveals pages from his own sketchbooks, exposing the rawness of his ideas and the narratives that surround them. As the reader will discover, sketchbooks are often a fascinating and surprising window into the mind of the illustrator.

Problém reprodukce či reprodukovatelnosti je kanonickým motivem úvah o fotografii a ztělesněním její hraniční povahy. Mezi nejvýznamnější příspěvky k této diskusi patří teoreticko-kurátorská koncepce „imaginárního muzea“ Andrého Malrauxe; její hlavní rysy shrnul v eseji vydané v roce 1947 a revidované v letech 1951 a 1965. Fotografická reprodukce se pro něj stává organizačním principem dějin světového umění, meta-médiem, umožňujícím transformaci obrazů v zájmu jejich porovnávání a uspořádávání. Fotografické imaginární muzeum tak lze zároveň chápat jako historický předvoj a předpoklad soudobých databází obrazů, určených ke strojovému zpracování. Český překlad Malrauxovy eseje doplňuje doslov Tomáše Dvořáka, který rozlišuje dva modely (chápání) rozmnožování obrazů: reprodukci originálu a sériovou výrobu.

Tato kniha je určena jak amatérským hráčům, kteří na kytaru často hrají trsátkem, tak je vhodná i do škol, kde se učí elektrická kytara. Pro jazzovou a populární hudbu je typické, že se velmi často hrává na kytaru trsátkem (anglicky flatpicking). Aranže vycházejí z akordo-melodického stylu hry na kytaru (anglicky Chord melody style). Bohužel českých písní upravených pro tuto hru mnoho není. Chtěli jsme vyjít těmto hráčům vstříc, a proto přinášíme písně Jaroslava Ježka v této netradiční podobě.

Black metal byl vždy tou nejméně stravitelnou formou extrémní hudby, ale současně také epicentrem pro jedny z nejplodnějších experimentů v hudbě vůbec. Souběžně s planoucí evropskou scénou devadesátých let zplodila americká pustina své vlastní znechucené bídáky a bezvěrce, kteří se jali hojně využívat blast beaty, kytarové běsnění, nelidské skřeky a satanistické inklinace. Po celých třicet let Američané stejnou měrou lpěli na fundamentálních blackmetalových principech a zavrhovali je v neustálé honbě za takovým zvukem, který by dal hlas těm nejosobnějším a nejdravějším démonům v nás. "USBM: Revoluce identity v americkém black metalu" je buřičská výprava až do samotných střev této hudby, skrze svědectví muzikantů, kteří zachytili naše nejděsivější přízraky a zrcadlili je zpět na nás. Účinkují: VON, ABSU, PROFANATICA, BLACK FUNERAL, INQUISITION, KRIEG, WEAKLING, LUDICRA, LEVIATHAN, XASTHUR, NACHTMYSTIUM, AGALLOCH WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM, PANOPTICON, DEAFHEAVEN a další

One of the Next Big Idea Club's Favorite Nonfiction Books A Behavioral Scientist Notable Book of 2022 A legendary record producer–turned–brain scientist explains why you fall in love with music. This Is What It Sounds Like is a journey into the science and soul of music that reveals the secrets of why your favorite songs move you. But it’s also a story of a musical trailblazer who began as a humble audio tech in Los Angeles, rose to become Prince’s chief engineer for Purple Rain, and then created other No. 1 hits ,including Barenaked Ladies' "One Week," as one of the most successful female record producers of all time. Now an award-winning professor of cognitive neuroscience, Susan Rogers leads readers to musical self-awareness. She explains that we each possess a unique “listener profile” based on our brain’s natural response to seven key dimensions of any song. Are you someone who prefers lyrics or melody? Do you like music “above the neck” (intellectually stimulating), or “below the neck” (instinctual and rhythmic)? Whether your taste is esoteric or mainstream, Rogers guides readers to recognize their musical personality, and offers language to describe one's own unique taste. Like most of us, Rogers is not a musician, but she shows that all of us can be musical?simply by being an active, passionate listener. While exploring the science of music and the brain, Rogers also takes us behind the scenes of record-making, using her insider’s ear to illuminate the music of Prince, Frank Sinatra, Kanye West, Lana Del Rey, and many others. She shares records that changed her life, contrasts them with those that appeal to her coauthor and students, and encourages you to think about the records that define your own identity. Told in a lively and inclusive style, This Is What It Sounds Like will refresh your playlists, deepen your connection to your favorite artists, and change the way you listen to music. 3 black-and-white photographs; 7 infographics; 2 illustrations

Umění & ideologie v 19. století. Katedrála sv. Víta v Praze, Notre-Dame v Paříži, Votivní kostel ve Vídni či jiný majestátní chrám některé z evropských metropolí jsou pro většinu z nás ztělesněním opravdového středověku. Málokdo ví, že se ve skutečnosti často jedná o architekturu z 19. století nebo o budovy v tomto období zásadně přestavěné. Vzhled těchto památek je, spíše než svědectvím o předmoderní minulosti, výsledkem romantických idealizací, nacionalistických sporů a ekonomických zájmů 19. století. Tato knížka ukazuje, že náš „opravdový středověk“ má s tím původním jen málo společného, zato nám však říká mnohé o evropské kultuře posledních dvou staletí.
