Argentina


The name Argentina already sounds auspicious, being derived from the Latin argentum, or silver. Between the Atlantic coast in the east and the Andes in the west streches the vast grassland of the Pampas and Patagonias. Here you can still experience the wild romanticism of the gaucho culture. The natural wonders of the impressive Iguazu waterfalls in the border region to Brazil, and the whales and elephant seals near the Valdéz peninsula, all offer unique worlds of experience, as do the spectacular glacier landscape of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego's lighthouse at the end of the World.

Česká secese


V devadesátých letech 19. století se v Praze, podobně tomu bylo v Mnichově, Vídni či Berlíně, rozvinula činnost spolku mladých umělců, který vznikl jako secese (odštěpení) z tradičních uměleckých struktur. Za svůj hlavní úkol si určil prosazovat nové moderní umění. Spolek výtvarných umělců Mánes se stal jádrem generačního seskupování a v roce 1896 zahájil vydávání vlastního periodika Volné směry. Od roku 1898, kdy otevřel první spolkové výstavy, byl již neopominutelným reprezentantem české výtvarné kultury. Pro uměleckou orientaci spolku byla hlavním příkladem soudobá Francie, pomáhající překonávat lokální nacionalistické zájmy, ale vedení časopisu a spolku, kde vynikali výtvarný a literární kritik F. X. Šalda, architekt Jan Kotěra, sochař Stanislav Sucharda a malíř Jan Preisler, sledovalo celou mezinárodní uměleckou scénu. Zápas o naplnění ideálu moderního umění ukázal potom plný význam pojmu secese, když další generace, nastupující po přelomové výstavě Edvarda Muncha v Praze (1905), vyvolala krizi svým příklonem k nejaktuálnějšímu kubismu. Tento dramatický vývoj českého umění je sledován jako postupné vyhraňování tří hlavních programových směrů: tendence naturalisticko-impresionistické, symbolistické a ornamentálně dekorativní. Realizovány byly separátně, ale jejich vzájemný vztah dává secesi hlubší umělecký smysl a narušuje obecné povědomí, chápající secesi zpravidla jako eklektický dekorativní styl, který odezněl s počátkem 20. století.

Gaudi


The life of Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926) was full of complexity and contradictions. As a young man he joined the Catalonian nationalist movement and was critical of the church; toward the end of his life he devoted himself completely to the construction of one single spectacular church, La Sagrada Familia. In his youth, he courted a glamorous social life and the demeanor of a dandy. By the time of his death in a tram accident on the streets of Barcelona, his clothes were so shabby that passersby assumed he was a beggar. Gaudi's incomparable architecture channels much of this multifaceted intricacy. From the shimmering surface textures and skeletal forms of Casa Batllo to the Hispano-Arabic matrix of Casa Vicens, his work merged the influences of Orientalism, natural forms, new materials, and religious faith into a unique Modernista aesthetic. Today, his buildings enjoy global popularity and acclaim; his magnum opus, the Sagrada Familia, is the most-visited monument in Spain and seven of his works are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Packed full of expert texts and hundreds of full-color illustrations, including new photography, this book presents Gaudi's complete oeuvre. Like a personal tour through Barcelona, we explore his residential, religious, and public projects. We see how the "Dante of architecture" was a builder in the truest sense of the word, crafting extraordinary constructions out of minute and mesmerizing details, transforming fantastical visions into realities on the city streets.

Steven Spielberg filmjei - A cápától a Schindler listájáig


Steven Spielberg nem véletlenül vált a filmtörténet egyik legsikeresebb rendezőjévé: ösztönös stílusérzékével már pályafutása kezdetén hátborzongató hatékonysággal tudta nézőit a moziszékekbe szegezni. A hetvenes évek óta generációk nőttek fel a filmjein izgulva: A cápa, az E. T., a Jurassic Park, a Ryan közlegény megmentése vagy a Különvélemény hatása máig nem fakult meg, a rendező legtöbb munkája akárhányszor újranézhető. Ez a könyv magyar nyelven először elemzi átfogóan Spielberg eddigi életművét: az olvasmányos, gyakran személyes hangvételű esszék elsősorban a filmek gyártástörténetére és stílusára fókuszálnak, de a rendező életútja is gyakran visszaköszön bennük.

Notre-Dame - The Soul of France


The profound emotion felt around the world upon seeing images of Notre-Dame in flames opens up a series of questions: Why was everyone so deeply moved? Why does Notre-Dame so clearly crystallise what our civilisation is about? What makes 'Our Lady of Paris' the soul of a nation and a symbol of human achievement? What is it that speaks so directly to us today? In answer, Agnes Poirier turns to the defining moments in Notre-Dame's history. Beginning with the laying of the corner stone in 1163, she recounts the conversion of Henri IV to Catholicism, the coronation of Napoleon, Victor Hugo's nineteenth-century campaign to preserve the cathedral, Baron Haussmann's clearing of the streets in front of it, the Liberation in 1944, the 1950s film of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, starring Gina Lollobrigida and Anthony Quinn, and the state funeral of Charles de Gaulle, before returning to the present. The conflict over Notre-Dame's reconstruction promises to be fierce. Nothing short of a cultural war is already brewing between the wise and the daring, the sincere and the opportunist, historians and militants, the devout and secularists. It is here that Poirier reveals the deep malaise - gilet jaunes and all - at the heart of the France.

Botero - The search for a style: 1948-1963


The story of how Fernando Botero developed his iconic "Boterismo" style Colombian painter and sculptor Fernando Botero (born 1932) is one of the best-known and most celebrated living Latin American artists. His distinctive visual style of softly rounded, inflated shapes--so idiosyncratic that it is described as "Boterismo"--is instantly recognizable all around the world. But in spite of the visual familiarity of Botero's work--or perhaps, in part, because of it--Botero is, in some ways, a largely unknown artist. How did he transition from the naturalistic illustrations of his teenage years to his mature Boterismo style? Botero: The Search for a Style tells the story of the artist's search for his own unique visual identity in the first 15 years of his career. Assimilating the influences of pre-Columbian and Spanish colonial art, the work of Diego Rivera and the Mexican muralists, and the Old Masters at the Prado Museum and the Louvre, Botero gradually developed his distinctive understanding of form and volume. Botero: The Search for a Style excavates the hidden histories within Fernando Botero's inimitable style.
