Women Artists - The Linda Nochlin Reader


Linda Nochlin (1931-2017) was one of the most pioneering and provocative art historians of our time. In 1971 she published her groundbreaking article, 'Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?', an impassioned feminist rallying cry that called traditional art historical practices into question and led to a major revision of the discipline. Women Artists: The Linda Nochlin Reader brings together thirty essential essays from throughout Nochlin's career, including two written specially for this collection. The book opens with an interview with Nochlin, in which she looks back on her life's work and reflects on the position of women artists today. Her major thematic texts, such as 'Women Artists After the French Revolution' and 'Starting from Scratch: The Beginnings of Feminist Art History' appear alongside the landmark 1971 essay and its rejoinder, '"Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?": Thirty Years After.' Also included are entries focusing on a selection of major women artists, such as Mary Cassatt, Louise Bourgeois, Cecily Brown, Kiki Smith, Miwa Yanagi and Sophie Calle, as well as concise biographies of all the artists discussed in the book and a complete bibliography of Nochlin's publications.

Zpětné zakreslení cesty


Zásah policejních složek proti demonstrantům 17. listopadu 1989 se odehrál přímo pod okny Národního divadla, které se tak - pokolikáté už v dějinách! - symbolicky stalo očitým svědkem počátku společenských změn v celé zemi. Kniha Zpětné zakreslení cesty, v níž vyprávíme příběh Činohry Národního divadla od konce roku 1989 až do roku 2015, sleduje, jak se společenské události promítaly do divadelního organismu a jevištního díla. Dynamická doba zahrnovala proces otevření hranic, majetkové restituce, znovuotevření otázky vztahu Čechů a Němců, privatizace, vyrovnání s totalitami, rehabilitace umlčených umělců, návraty z emigrace, rozdělení Československa, finanční krize, politické aféry a pády vlád, vstup do Evropské unie. Politické dění v zemi bylo provázeno debatou o smyslu a významu Národního divadla v proudu globálních změn. Působení tří polistopadových šéfů Činohry ND, Ivana Rajmonta, Josefa Kovalčuka a Michala Dočekala, je příběhem hledání odpovědí na otázku "čím je národu Národní divadlo" tak, jak se vyvíjela během 25 let svobodné společnosti. Činohra ovšem proměňuje i styl, poetiku, nástroje a prostředky uměleckého výrazu. Sledujeme nástup nových herců a režisérů a hledání tvaru, který by spojil do inscenačního celku výrazné projevy osobností s rozličným dosavadním zázemím. Režiséři, kteří přišli z divadel, jež byla doposud s publikem ve spikleneckém vztahu, hledají způsob, jak oslovit diváky oficiální scény; s tímto procesem úzce souvisí i úsilí o vznik současných dramatických textů. Průběžným hlasem, který zní za uměleckým usilováním, je hlas kritiky, v němž zaznívají jak splněná i zklamaná očekávání publika, tak i promyšlené interpretace inscenací. Kritický vícehlas je ale také hlasem médií a společenských nálad. Příběh dvaceti pěti let Činohry Národního divadla je vyprávěním o pronikání nových témat a stylů do tvůrčího prostředí divadla, které je zavázáno vlasteneckou tradicí a povinností být přístupné všem. Žádné jiné divadlo v zemi takový závazek nenese, ale žádné jiné také k jeho splnění nemá takové podmínky jako Národní divadlo v Praze. Zpětné zakreslování cesty bez přesně zaměřených souřadnic je činností dobrodružnou, napínavou a zábavnou, nepřetržitě provázenou zamyšlením nad tím, jakou cestu urazila Činohra ND za 25 let v celkovém obraze české společnosti a jejího Národního divadla. - Vychází za podpory Ministerstva kultury ČR a za přispění Mecenášského klubu Národního divadla.

Bruegel, Paintings


The life and times of Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1526/30-1569) were marked by stark cultural conflict. He witnessed religious wars, the Duke of Alba's brutal rule as governor of the Netherlands, and the palpable effects of the Inquisition. To this day, the Flemish artist remains shrouded in mystery. We know neither where nor exactly when he was born. But while early scholarship emphasized the vernacular character of his painting and graphic work, modern research has attached greater importance to its humanistic content. Starting out as a print designer for publisher Hieronymus Cock, Bruegel produced numerous print series that were distributed throughout Europe. These depicted vices and virtues alongside jolly peasant festivals and sweeping landscape panoramas. He then increasingly turned to painting, working for the cultural elite of Antwerp and Brussels. Rather than idealizing reality, he bravely confronted the issues of his day, addressing the horrors of religious warfare and taking a critical stand against the institution of the Church. To this end, Bruegel developed his own pictorial language of dissidence, lacing innocuous everyday scenes with subliminal statements in order to escape repercussions. This book is derived from our XXL monograph, which saw TASCHEN undertake a comprehensive photographic survey of the artist's oeuvre. The result boasts exceptional details and reproductions, unveiling Bruegel's larger-than-life universe with unprecedented clarity. This volume, in celebration of our 40th anniversary, presents all 40 paintings, accompanied by enlarged details and accessible, immersive texts. About the series TASCHEN turns 40 this year! Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible publishing, helping bookworms around the world curate their own library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia at an unbeatable price. In 2020, we celebrate 40 years of incredible books by staying true to our company credo. The 40 series presents new editions of some of the stars of our program-now more compact, friendly in price, and still realized with the same commitment to impeccable production.

Dejiny slovenskej dramatiky bábkového divadla


Autori štúdií: Miroslav Ballay, Lenka Dzadíková, Ida Hledíková-Polívková, Juraj Hubinák, Dagmar Inštitorisová, Elena Knopová, Mišo Kováč Adamov, Barbora Krajč Zamišková, Vladimír Predmerský, Ľubomír Šárik, Vladimír Štefko, Pavel Uher, Dominika Zaťková Vývoj slovenskej bábkovej hry od 19. storočia až po súčasnosť sa v tejto knihe skúma z niekoľkých strán a pohľadov. Dvadsaťtri kapitol je venovaných tak jednotlivým významným dramatickým autorom, ako aj syntetickým pohľadom na celé vývinové etapy slovenského bábkarstva. Veľkoryso poňatý prehľad zahŕňa najmä dramatické texty, no nemôže celkom obísť ani ich významné scénické predvedenia. Najmä v prípadoch, keď je autor textu zároveň jeho režisérom a daný text už v svojej písanej podobe zahŕňa množstvo pokynov konkrétnym hercom či scénickému výtvarníkovi. V plejáde autorov textov pre bábkové divadlo, ktorých predstavuje táto kniha, sa tak stretávajú tí, ktorí písali univerzálne hry, po desaťročia hrané divadlami nielen na Slovensku, s autormi, ktorých doménou ani nie je dramatická, lež epická literatúra, a svoje dramatické texty vytvárali v tesnej spolupráci s divadelnými dramaturgmi a režisérmi. Netreba zabúdať aj na to, že časť bábkarského repertoára tvoria rôzne dramatizácie pôvodne prozaických textov ľudových či umelých rozprávok. Veľkú skupinu predstavujú už spomenutí praktickí divadelníci, ktorí píšu svoje bábkové hry s presným zacielením na ich javiskovú realizáciu. Čo však neznamená, že výlet takýchto hier za hranice domáceho súboru je celkom vylúčený: príkladom môžu byť texty Divadla PIKI z Pezinka. Publikácia presne zachytáva aj najnovší vývoj bábkového divadla, ktorý smeruje k interaktivite a miešaniu nielen divadelných druhov, ale aj žánrov. Záslužným krokom je zaradenie obsiahlej kapitoly venovanej dramatickej produkcii nezávislých bábkových divadiel, ktorých premenlivá existencia je oveľa menej systematicky zdokumentovaná ako pri ich kamenných kolegoch.

Experiment jako kritika nacismu


Kniha se věnuje v první řadě dramatické tvorbě autorů Vídeňské skupiny Ernsta Jandla a Elfriede Jelinek, které spojuje experimentální poetika a současně téma kritiky nacismu, obecněji pak témata násilí a války, která se autoři snaží uchopit stylizací svých divadelních a rozhlasových textů. Charakteristický je pro ně experiment s jazykem i formou a kritický vztah k tradici krásného umění, jehož ustálené formy ve svých dílech často přejímají, parodizují a ironizují. Součástí svazku jsou nové české překlady her dvou dalších autorů Vídeňské skupiny, idiot Konrada Byera a PURIM slavnost Ernsta Jandla.

Matisse: The Books


The livre d'artiste, or 'artist's book', is among the most prized in rare book collections. Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was one of the greatest artists to work in this genre, creating his most important books over a period of eighteen years from 1932 to 1950 - a time of personal upheaval and physical suffering, as well as conflict and occupation for France. Brimming with powerful themes and imagery, these works are crucial to an understanding of Matisse's oeuvre, yet much of their content has never been seen by a wider audience. In Matisse: The Books, Louise Rogers Lalaurie reintroduces us to Matisse by considering how in each of eight limited-edition volumes, the artist constructs an intriguing dialogue between word and image. She also highlights the books' profound significance for Matisse as the catalysts for the extraordinary 'second life' of his paper cut-outs. In concert with an eclectic selection of poetry, drama and, tantalizingly, Matisse's own words, the books' images offer an astonishing portrait of creative resistance and regeneration. Matisse's books contain some of the artist's best-known graphic works - the magnificent, belligerent swan from the Poesies de Stephane Mallarme, or the vigorous linocut profile from Pasiphae (1944), reversed in a single, rippling stroke out of a lake of velvety black. In Jazz, the cut-out silhouette of Icarus plummets through the azure, surrounded by yellow starbursts, his heart a mesmerizing dot of red. But while such individual images are well known, their place in an integrated sequence of pictures, decorations and words is not. With deftness and sensitivity, Lalaurie explores the page-by-page interplay of the books, translating key sequences and discussing their distinct themes and creative genesis. Together Matisse's artist books reveal his deep engagement with questions of beauty and truth; his faith; his perspectives on aging, loss, and inspiration; and his relationship to his critics, the French art establishment and the women in his life. In addition, Matisse: The Books illuminates the artist's often misunderstood political affinities - in particular, his decision to live in the collaborationist Vichy zone, throughout World War II. Matisse's wartime books are revealed as a body of work that stands as a deeply personal statement of resistance.
