Ženy umelkyne (Umenie v skratke)
Ženy sú dlhodobo obľúbeným námetom umelcov, ale ich prínos ako umelkýň je dodnes nedocenený. Nemusia už síce tvoriť anonymne či pod mužským pseudonymom, ale ešte v roku 1989 položila skupina Guerilla Girls newyorskej verejnosti otázku: „Musia byť ženy nahé, aby sa dostali do Metropolitného múzea?" Odpoveď na túto otázku nájdete aj vo svojej knižnici - stačí si prelistovať dejiny umenia. Ešte lepšie však urobíte, ak siahnete po knižke, ktorá reviduje tradičný kánon a predstaví vám tvorbu päťdesiatich významných umelkýň od 16. storočia až po súčasnosť. Artemisia Gentileschi, Georgia O´Keeffe, Frida Kahlo či Louise Bourgeois... Schválne, ktoré z týchto mien poznáte?
Citizen First, Designer Second
After a career of more than 20 years spanning four countries, globally-renowned graphic designer, illustrator and visual branding consultant Rejane Dal Bello explains how choosing (or being chosen by) a design career has come to matter to her - and how it can matter to others no matter whether they are also seeking a creative path or are simply curious about the value and possibilities afforded by creativity. Through a mixture of personal anecdote and professional experience, Rejane honestly and emotively reflects on her life and processes, and how they have been shaped by the beauty, challenges and serendipity of design and the visual arts.
This edition comes in three striking colour combinations that will be shipped to customers at random.

How To Break Up With Fast Fashion
'A funny, achievable guide' Observer
'Lauren Bravo is one of my favourite writers' Dolly Alderton
'Bravo will inspire you to repair, recycle and give old items a new lease of life' Stylist
You probably know the statistics: global clothing production has roughly doubled in just 15 years, and every year an estimated 300,000 tonnes of used clothing ends up in UK landfill.
Fast fashion is the ultimate toxic relationship. It's bad news for the planet, our brains and our bank balances. We can't go on like this; our shopping habits need an overhaul.
Journalist Lauren Bravo loves clothes more than anything, but she's called time on her affair with fast fashion in search of a slower, saner way of dressing. In this book, she'll help you do the same.
How To Break Up With Fast Fashion will help you to change your mindset, fall back in love with your wardrobe and embrace more sustainable ways of shopping - from the clothes swap to the charity shop. Full of refreshing honesty and realistic advice, Lauren will inspire you to repair, recycle and give your unloved items a new lease of life without sacrificing your style.
Because fashion belongs to everyone, but no outfit should cost us the earth.
nendo: 2016-2020
A brand-new monograph celebrating the work of nendo, one of the most sought-after design studios working today
nendo's extensive, idiosyncratic body of work flows seamlessly across disciplines, and is executed in every medium imaginable - from paper clips to watches, shoes, chocolates, glassware, and furniture, all the way up to interior design projects and freestanding architecture. Hot on the heels of nendo's 2019 Phaidon monograph, which traced the first 13 years of the studio's prolific output, nendo 2016-2020 shows us what founder Oki Sato and his team did next - an astonishing number of projects in five years. In addition to nendo's collaborations with some of the biggest brands in design, such as Cappellini, Kartell, Flos, and Coca-Cola, nendo was named Designer of the Year by Architektur & Wohnen in 2019, was winner of the Blueprint Awards designer category in 2018, named first on the Dezeen Hot List of designers in 2016, and winner of the Elle Decor Design Awards in 2015.

Britains 100 Best Railway Stations
Discover the architectural gems that are Britain's 100 Best Railway Stations in this Sunday Times top 10 bestseller
'This is a cracker . . . a beautiful book' Chris Evans
It is the scene for our hopeful beginnings and our intended ends, and the timeless experiences of coming and going, meeting, greeting and parting. It is an institution with its own rituals and priests, and a long-neglected aspect of Britain's architecture. And yet so little do we look at the railway station.
Simon Jenkins has travelled the length and breadth of Great Britain, from Waterloo to Wemyss Bay, Betws-y-Coed to Beverley, to select his hundred best railway stations. Blending his usual insight and authority with his personal reflections and experiences - including his founding the Railway Heritage Trust - the foremost expert on our national heritage deftly reveals the history, geography, design and significance of each of these glories.
Beautifully illustrated with colour photographs throughout, this joyous exploration of our social history shows the station's role in the national imagination; champions the engineers, architects and rival companies that made them possible; and tells the story behind the triumphs and follies of these very British creations. These are the marvellous, often undersung places that link our nation, celebrated like never before.
'However spectacular the book's photographs, it's the author's prowess as a phrase-maker that keeps you turning the pages' The Times
'An uplifting exploration of our social history' Guardian
Jazz Covers
Part design history, part trip down musical memory lane, this anthology of jazz album artwork is above all a treasure trove of creative and cultural inspiration. Spanning half a century, it assembles the most daring and dynamic jazz cover designs that helped make and shape not only a musical genre but also a particular way of experiencing life.
From the 1940s through to the decline of LP production in the early 1990s, each chosen cover design is distinct in the way it complements the energy of the album's music with its own visual rhythms of frame, line, text, and form. To satisfy even the most demanding of music geeks, each record cover is accompanied by a fact sheet listing performer and album name, art director, photographer, illustrator, year, label, and more.
Sex a umění
Vizuální kultura současnosti je přesycena sexem do té míry, že hambaté obrázky pro jejich všudypřítomnost skoro přestáváme vnímat. Člověk dneška je otrlý a jen tak něco ho nepřekvapí. Nad jistými díly výtvarného umění dob dávno minulých však přeci občas strne údivem. V pravěkých malbách na stěnách jeskyní, na egyptských papyrech, v antickém malířství i sochařství, na zdech středověkých chrámů i mezi uměleckými díly renesance totiž najdeme bezpočet motivů tak explicitně erotických, až se tají dech. Tato kniha vás s některými z nich a jejich interpretacemi seznámí.

Krajiny podle Friedricha Nietzche / Landschaften nach Friedrich Nietzsche
Je příznačné, že si Milan Pitlach za průvodce svého fotografického cyklu podmanivě atmosférických krajin zvolil Zarathustru. Nejedná se však o ilustrace či snad interpretace jeho promluv z přelomového díla Friedricha Nietzscheho, které fotografie v knize doprovázejí, ale což je mnohem cennější o jejich vzájemný dialog. Pitlach ve svých fotografických záznamech krajin nepoužívá laciné efekty ve snaze upoutat či ohromit diváka přímočarými a líbivými obrázky, jde až na samu hranici niternosti a intimního prožívání, kdy nechává svůj vnitřní svět, své úvahy, meditace a vize projevit v podobě skutečných vyfotografovaných krajin. Motivy, které zařadil do své knihy, ať už jsou to záběry na nedozírné rozlohy moře a pouště nebo bez ustání proměnlivé nebe, snímky zachycující paměť kamenů a nezkrotnou sílu živlů či připomínky extází v tanci a okamžicích lásky, vypovídají o vznešené síle přírody a ohromující energii života. A právě také v tom spočívá ona neobvyklá blízkost a korespondence s Nietzscheho filozofickou tvorbou. Pitlach se spolu s Nietzschem ptá po podstatě a smyslu lidské existence, proto jsou jeho fotografie tak naléhavé, tak hluboce lidské.

Hiroshige
The last great master of the ukiyo-e tradition, Hiroshige produced works of subtle yet intense color. This collection of prints, first published in the 1850s, contains images of each of Japan's provinces. Created during Hiroshige's highly productive later years, this series was an ambitious project that captured a crucial moment in Japan's history, a decade before the Meiji Restoration would open the doors to industrialization and Western influence. One of its most striking characteristics is the vertical presentation, which allowed Hiroshige to experiment with perspective. His sweeping panoramas of the beautiful countryside combine the illusion of distance with a depth of detail that draws the viewer in. In addition to these glorious landscapes, Hiroshige's depictions of busy urban centers provide a rare insight into daily life in the Edo era. This beautiful slip- cased edition includes two volumes: a complete set of seventy prints and a separate booklet that provides an introduction to Hiroshige's life and art as well as descriptive captions of the prints. From thundering waterfalls and towering cliffs to wide beaches and bustling harbors, Hiroshige's native land emerges in serene and exquisite detail-the perfect keepsake for fans of ukiyo-e, Japanese culture, and printmaking.

Deset knih o architektuře, 4. vydání
Legendární Vitruviův spis O architektuře je jediným zachovaným dílem svého druhu z římské odborné literatury. Římský architekt Vitruvius jím vytvořil základní učebnici antické architektury, v níž encyklopedicky, jak bylo v jeho době zvykem, shrnul všechny potřebné a používané znalosti a poznatky z oboru technických věd. Svůj obor pojal jako soubor tří disciplin: architektury jako stavebního umění, stavební techniky a mechaniky. Probírá postupně všechna témata a problémy, s nimiž se podle jeho zkušeností musí architekt jeho doby vypořádat: výběr místa pro stavbu, její orientaci a dispozici opírá o hygienické důvody a znalost fyziologie člověka a zároveň o poznatky z meteorologie a klimatologie; do nauky o stavebních materiálech zahrnuje výklad geologie, mineralogie a botaniky; ke stavbě vodovodů vyžaduje vědomosti z půdoznalství a hydrologie; stavbu divadel podmiňuje znalostmi akustiky a hudební teorie; estetiku architektury odvozuje od rozboru stavby lidského těla a zákonů optiky; jako stavitel, který umí stavět, neváhá zevrubně vyložit způsoby bourání, zejména pro účel války; v rámci rekonstrukce strojů popisuje všechna známá a používaná zařízení až po stavbu hodin a vodních varhan; pro organizaci života a práce shrnuje dobové znalosti o času a astronomii.
Vitruviův spis je jedinečnou encyklopedií starověkého vědění a sehrál nesmírně důležitou roli v dějinách evropské kultury. Byl uznávanou praktickou příručkou ve středověku a vysokého ocenění se mu dostalo za renesance. Stal se učebnicí stavitelství a architektury řeckého a římského období a dalekosáhle ovlivnil vývoj evropské architektury až do nového věku.
Viking Art
This book distils a lifetime's study of Viking art. Written by a leading authority, it introduces all the intricate and beautiful art styles of the Viking age. It ranges in time from the first major Viking expeditions overseas around AD 800 to the general establishment of Christianity in Scandinavia some 300 years later. The opening chapter introduces the geographical and historical background to Viking culture; thematic chapters then describe and illustrate the six main Viking art styles, showing how they emerged from and interacted with one another. Delicate metalwork, elaborate wood-carvings and the famous Gotland picture-stones are all discussed. Viking art ranges in scale from ship burials to decorated weapons and finely crafted jewelry; all feature here, alongside Viking architecture and archaeological traces left by Vikings across continental Europe and beyond. The final chapter examines Viking art in relation to pagan mythology, the conversion to Christianity, and the Viking legacy for later artistic movements. First published in 2013 and now revised and updated throughout, this volume is a modern classic that serves as a definitive guide for all those interested in the vibrant artistic culture of this fascinating period in European history.

Scottish Art
What makes Scottish art Scottish? In this now classic text, Murdo Macdonald explores the distinctive characteristics of Scottish art over the centuries - such as the heritage of Celtic design with its emphasis on intricate pattern; the importance of the landscape, particularly the Highlands and the sea; and a close connection with France. It ranges from the earliest art to survive - Neolithic standing stones - through the art of the Picts and Gaels, and the tumultuous centuries of the Reformation, to the great flowering of Scottish art in the Enlightenment. The final chapters focus closely on art produced since 1900, with succinct and revealing analyses of the Scottish Colourists and the major figures of contemporary art in all media. Masterpieces from the Book of Kells to paintings by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Joan Eardley are illustrated in full colour, and such key works are set in a clearly explained historical context throughout. At a time when issues of Scottish identity are the subject of fierce debate, Macdonald's lucid and deeply researched book makes a significant contribution to the understanding of Scotland's artistic past and present.

Building for Hope
Marwa al Sabouni was a little-known architect, living in battle-ravaged Homs, unable to practice her profession as the buildings and the lives around her and across Syria were reduced to rubble. Rather than flee her country, like so many of her compatriots, she remained, committed to the belief that the multilayered and multifaceted society she grew up in was worth rebuilding. She turned her fierce intelligence to chronicling how her city and country were undone through decades of architectural mismanagement and mistakes.
The result was The Battle for Home. Published in 2016, the book and her story attracted the attention of international news media and received critical acclaim around the world. She became a TED fellow; some suggested she be nominated for architecture's highest honour, the Pritzker Prize.
Until the book was published, al Sabouni had rarely travelled outside of her native country, but The Battle for Home gained her invitations to speak to audiences, institutes and experts across the world. Her travels, combined with her deep understanding of the Middle Eastern heritage and values, provided al Sabouni with insights into a wide range of cities, which informed her views on how cities best work, how they might fail, and what can be done to enrich and harmonize the lives of all their inhabitants. This is a rich journey, drawing together several narratives: her personal observations of some of the world's most fascinating cities, from Detroit to Helsinki, from Bristol to Amsterdam; the lessons that Western societies might learn from Islamic culture; and philosophical reflections, drawing on a range of thinkers, on how our personal and communal spaces can provide the basic foundations for happiness. Through this rich tapestry of personal experience, unblinking perspective, and unsettling insight, al Sabouni offers the reader real-world solutions - and hope - for how the conditions for enduring peace might be created in an increasingly polarizing world.
William Blake
Prophet, poet, painter, engraver - William Blake (1757-1827) was an artist of uniquely powerful imagination and far-reaching creative gifts. His work expresses the spiritual drama of the English national being, integrating poetry and visual art in a sustained work of visionary creativity unparalleled in English art history.
Revealing Blake to be far more than a revolutionary social radical, this classic study reshapes our understanding of the artist's achievement. Kathleen Raine details the enriching effect of mystical, alchemical and gnostic philosophy on Blake's art. She unravels the complex, deeply felt symbolism expressed in his paintings and prints, and describes the powerful impact of his reading of Dante, Milton and the Bible.
Raine's compelling text guides the reader through the life and thought of this extraordinary artist. Fully alive to the uniqueness of Blake's art - which has 'a reality, a coherence, a climate' all its own - she introduces famous work such as Jerusalem, Songs of Innocence and of Experience, The Four Zoas and The Book of Job, relating them to Blake's world view and explaining their prophetic qualities, their fierce energy, and their central place in British Romantic art.
