Light & How to Photograph It


For professional photographers, chasing the light, waiting for it, sometimes helping it, and finally capturing it is a constant preoccupation and for some, an obsession. Drawing on four decades of working with light, Michael Freeman takes a simple but practical approach to interpreting, reacting to, and capturing photography's most valuable commodity. Practical advice is organised into three straightforward sections: Waiting, Chasing, and Helping. Begin by mastering the art of patience, and recognise the immense value of anticipating and planning for gorgeous light that's just over the horizon. Then learn the techniques to meet otherwise transient and fleeting lighting conditions halfway, with quick thinking and fast reactions. Finally, make the most of the tools at your disposal to enhance and manipulate light as you find it, covering everything from in-the-field shooting choices to technical transformations in post-production. This is the method of a working professional - to interpret, approach, and master whatever lighting situation is thrown at you and always get the shot, no matter what.

Velazquez


Manet called him “the greatest painter of all.” Picasso was so inspired by his masterpiece Las Meninas that he painted 44 variations of it. Francis Bacon painted a study of his portrait of Pope Innocent X. Monet and Renoir, Corot and Courbet, Degas and Dalí… for so many champions of art history, the ultimate sounding board was—and remains—Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez (1599–1660). First available as an XXL-sized volume, this accessible edition brings together Velázquez’s complete works with a selection of enlarged details and photography of recently restored paintings, achieved through the joint initiative of TASCHEN and Wildenstein. The dazzling images are accompanied by insightful commentary from José López-Rey on Velázquez’s interest in human life and his equal attention to all subjects, from an old woman frying eggs to a pope or king, as well as his commitment to color and light, which would influence the Impressionists over two centuries later. The authors José López-Rey (1905–1991) taught Italian Renaissance at the University of Madrid and worked as an art advisor for the Spanish Ministry of Education. Before the end of the Spanish Civil War, he emigrated to the USA, where he resumed his teaching career at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York. In 1973 he was awarded emeritus status. López-Rey was a corresponding member of the Hispanic Society of America and a consultant and contributor to several international art journals, including the Gazette des Beaux Arts and Art News. Odile Delenda, graduate of the École du Louvre, served as professor there, and then as deputy head of the department of paintings at the Musée du Louvre until 2007. She has collaborated on several exhibitions of old master paintings. A research fellow at the Wildenstein Institute in Paris since 1990, she has continued her study of Spanish art from the Siglo de Oro. She is, among other works, the author of Vélasquez, peintre religieux (1993) and, under the auspices of the Wildenstein Institute, the first critical catalogue raisonné of the painted oeuvre of Francisco de Zurbarán and his studio (2009/10).

What Great Paintings Say. 100 Masterpieces in Detail


This important addition to our understanding of art history's masterworks puts some of the world's most famous paintings under a magnifying glass to uncover their most small and subtle elements and all they reveal about a bygone time, place, and culture. Guiding our eye to the minutiae of subject and symbolism, authors Rose-Marie and Rainer Hagen allow even the most familiar of pictures to come alive anew through their intricacies and intrigues. Is the bride pregnant? Why does the man wear a beret? How does the shadow of war hang over a scene of dancing? Along the way, we travel from Ancient Egypt through to modern Europe, from the Renaissance to the Roaring Twenties. We meet Greek heroes and poor German poets and roam from cathedrals to cabaret bars, from the Garden of Eden to a Garden Bench in rural France. As we pick apart each painting and then reassemble it like a giant jigsaw puzzle, these celebrated canvases captivate not only in their sheer wealth of details but also in the witness they bear to the fashions and trends, people and politics, loves and lifestyles of their time.

Baletní divadlo z pohledů hudební dramaturgie


Ústředním tématem publikace je sledování baletního umění pod zorným úhlem typu dějového baletního divadla. Z tohoto pohledu autor prioritně charakterizuje původní hudební tvorbu určenou baletním představením. Sleduje také její druhotný nepochybný přínos do koncertní dramaturgie, kde nejlepší díla žijí samostatným koncertním životem, ať již v kompletním tvaru, nebo v autorsky sestavených suitách. Jde o díla 20. století, v němž právě moderní hudba inspiruje choreografy k obohacování baletní techniky. Je zdůrazněna základní průkopnická umělecká síla Ruského baletu Sergeje Ďagileva v Paříži. Publikace současně ukazuje velký přínos české baletní tvorby, zejména v dílech Bohuslava Martinů, což nebylo dosud takto publikováno. Hodnotí zakladatelský přínos Oskara Nedbala a vstupy Vítězslava Nováka na baletní scénu, jakož i přehledy domácí a zahraniční tvorby.

V tomto tisícročí už nie je Bratislava temná diera a Ďurovka zakríknutý smutný panáčik stratený za mikrofónom, ale chlap, čo víťazí v bitkách so svojimi démonmi, vysral sa na veci plytké a chce spievať o dobrom.

Cine Teatro Saura


Název knihy Cine Teatro Saura je variací pojmu cineteatro, vztahujícího se k prostorům, v nichž mohli být diváci dříve vystaveni jak filmovému, tak divadelnímu prožitku. Filmy Carlose Saury jsou takovým prostorem. Putování filmovým dílem opírající se o fenomenologické principy je vedeno snahou zprostředkovat nezvyklé a svým způsobem i riskantní metody narace, jež mohou být cestou k jinému vnímání vnitřního i vnějšího světa a vztahování se k němu. Carlos Saura nalezl mnoho rozmanitých způsobů, jak pracovat s pamětí a časem a jejich subjektivním vnímáním, jak proniknout k metamorfózám minulosti v přítomnosti. Ve svém díle propojil filmové, divadelní a dokumentární polohy s maximální přirozeností a důvěrou v autorskou svobodu, jež není povinována ctít zavedené kategorie. Jeho více než šedesátiletá filmová tvorba je nahlížena v kontextu politických a sociálních proměn a rovněž optikou dalších krea­tivních vrstev Saurovy košaté osobnosti. Důraz je kladen nejen na důmyslné prolínání různých tvůrčích metod uchopení skutečnosti, ale také na zkušenost s diktaturou, kterou prošla jak španělská, tak i česká společnost, jíž je text určen. Pokud sebereme odvahu k obdobně svobodnému přitakání subjektivitě a přijmeme paměť jako prostor mnoha časů a představ, jímž je třeba procházet, možná se o sobě dozvíme víc než prostřednictvím příběhů posedlých objektivitou a strukturami, v nichž se nelze ztratit. A právě proto v nich lze tak málo podstatného nalézt. Chceme-li pochopit oheň, nestačí analyzovat popel, je třeba znovu zažehnout plamen.

Zaha Hadid Complete Works 1979-Today. 2020 Edition


Zaha Hadid was a revolutionary architect. For years, she was widely acclaimed and won numerous prizes despite building practically nothing. Some even said her work was simply impossible to build. Yet, during the latter years of her life, Hadid's daring visions became a reality, bringing a new and unique architectural language to cities and structures such as the Port House in Antwerp, the Al Janoub Stadium near Doha, Qatar, and the spectacular new airport terminal in Beijing. By her untimely death in 2016, Hadid was firmly established among architecture's finest elite, working on projects in China, the Middle East, the United States, and Russia. She was the first female architect to win both the Pritzker Prize for architecture and the prestigious RIBA Royal Gold Medal, with her long-time Partner Patrik Schumacher now the leader of Zaha Hadid Architects and in charge of many new projects. Based on the massive TASCHEN monograph, this book is now available in an extensively updated and accessible edition covering Hadid's complete works, including ongoing projects. With abundant photographs, in-depth sketches, and Hadid's own drawings, the volume traces the evolution of her career, spanning not only her most pioneering buildings but also the furniture and interior designs that were integrated into her unique, and distinctly 21st-century, universe.
