A century of classic vampire cinema--in posters, stills and artwork--from Murnau to True Blood and beyond This visual feast celebrates classic vampire cinema--mainstream and niche--through the many colorful ways in which the key films have been marketed and consumed. F.W. Murnau's haunting film Nosferatu had its premiere in Berlin in March 1922. Bram Stoker's widow, Florence, tried hard to sue the production company for breach of copyright but had to settle in the end for a court order to destroy all prints and negatives. The film kept resurrecting, though, and is now considered the first, and one of the greatest, of all vampire movies--the founder of a dynasty of prints of darkness. The bloodline has spread from Nosferatu to Hollywood's Dracula and progeny (1931-48); from Hammer's Dracula/Horror of Dracula and sequels (1958-74) to versions of Sheridan Le Fanu's story "Carmilla" and other lesbian vampires (1970-2020); from the bestselling novels 'Salem's Lot and Interview with the Vampire to vampires who have shed their capes, hereditary titles and period trappings to become assorted smalltown oddballs, addicts, delinquents, psychopaths, rednecks, fashionistas, gay icons, comedians and even comic-book heroes (1975-2022). This book is dripping with stills, posters, artworks, press books--many of which have not seen the light of day for a very long time--and is authored by cultural historian and connoisseur of the Gothic Christopher Frayling, who has been called "the Van Helsing de nos jours." Christopher Frayling (born 1946) is a recognized authority on Gothic fiction and horror movies. His study Vampyres (1978, 1990, 2016) and his classic four-part television series Nightmare: The Birth of Horror (1996) have helped to move Gothic horror from margin to mainstream. He is the author of Frankenstein and Once upon a Time in the West.

With their understated beauty and holistic design, Mediterranean homes are a perennial source of inspiration. The Mediterranean Home has an ongoing influence on residential architecture and interior design: from classical to rural styles to more grounded spaces that interweave form and function. Blending the inside and the outside, bringing together traditional features with contemporary elements, Mediterranean houses connect with their environments and the local culture. The Mediterranean Home looks at architecture, at interior design, decoration and furniture, at how vegetation and rock provide both shade and colorful warmth. It showcases old buildings converted into modern homes in various regions and coastal hinterlands and celebrates the unique Mediterranean aesthetic that continues to inspire a sense of home and comfort around the globe.

nové urtextové vydání „Amerického“ kvartetu standardní notace violoncellového partu trojjazyčná předmluva (n/č/a) a kritická zpráva (a) od editora „must-have“ pro všechny profesionály První měsíce Dvořákova pobytu v Americe se nesly ve znamení inspirace a tvůrčí erupce. Vznikla trojice děl s charakteristickým „americkým“ tónem – Symfonie e moll op. 95, Smyčcový kvartet F dur op. 96 a Smyčcový kvintet Es dur op. 97. Sám skladatel se o nich vyjádřil: „… vím, že tyto skladby nikdy bych tak nenapsal, kdybych byl Ameriku neuviděl!“ Svůj dvanáctý smyčcový kvartet, přezdívaný „Americký“, napsal Dvořák během letního prázdninového pobytu ve Spillville v Iowě za pouhých dvanáct červnových dní roku 1893. Kvartet se stal pro svou muzikantskou bezprostřednost, chytlavá témata a formální čistotu zdaleka nejhranějším skladatelovým smyčcovým kvartetem a jedním z nejpopulárnějších Dvořákových děl vůbec. Tiskem vyšla skladba v roce 1894 u Simrocka v Berlíně, korektury četl Johannes Brahms, tiskové předlohy se ale nezachovaly. Editor předkládaného vydání pracoval s autografní partiturou a prvním tiskem partitury a hlasů. Podle dnešního úzu upouští toto vydání od užití houslového klíče ve violoncellovém partu o oktávu výš a nahrazuje jej klíčem tenorovým.

Kniha není vyprávěním pouze muzikologickým, ale plnokrevným svědectvím moudrého muže neomylného citu, mimořádně vnímavého, jenž užívá života a k okolnímu světu přistupuje se snahou porozumět všem zdánlivým či skutečným paradoxům uplynulého století. Na otázky Jiřího Hanuše o Leoši Janáčkovi, o české hudbě a o rodící se české identitě odpovídá Miloš Štědroň poutavě a stěží napodobitelným způsobem. Jeho myšlenky mají spád, jsou řazeny v rychlém sledu za sebou, jako by byly zachyceny bezděčně při soukromém rozhovoru. Tím je překlenut prostor mezi odborným jazykem a jazykem běžného života.

Archivum shows for the first time in book form over 50 black-and-white prints by leading photographer Kevin Cummins of the band Joy Division. Cummins, as a young, aspiring photographer from Manchester, had unique access to the band in their very early days, from when they were known as Warsaw to when they later became New Order, after Ian Curtis’ death. Many of these photographs were reproduced by NME and other music magazines in the late 1970s and they helped cement Cummins’ reputation as the greatest music photographer of his generation – subsequently he was made NME’s chief photographer for over ten years. Archivum includes an exclusive interview with the photographer, Kevin Cummins, which reveals new information about Joy Division, the photographer’s relationship with the band, and Kevin’s techniques for photographing. The photographic prints (all 10 x 8 inches black-and-whites) are reproduced full size, both front and back, with the photograph’s notes and marks as well as stamps from the music magazines. This is a unique record of an important archive collection of original photographs of one of the world’s most iconic bands.

...klobouk měkký, v létě slaměný, nikdy cylindr! ...k odpoledním vycházkám, schůzím i shromážděním se hodil dlouhý tmavošedý kabát (císařský neboli redingot) s vestou v téže látce, vesta ovšem mohla být i barevná. Černý se nosil k odpoledním zábavám nebo slavnostnějším návštěvám, také ho pán mohl vzít večer do divadla či pro jinou večerní příležitost, kde nebyl předepsán frak nebo smokink. Takto se pánové oblékali i na přednášky, hostiny a svatby denní i večerní, nebylo-li přikázáno jinak.

Science and illustration have always walked hand in hand, and not only the scientific community but the general public as well have used images since early history to understand natural phenomena. Moreover, from Galileo to Einstein, our modern history has been written with the key support of art and with all the insights it contributes. This XL-sized book collects more than 300 graphic works that range from original sketches to technical drawings, and from meticulous hand illustrations to computer-generated images. The Western scientific revolution that started in the 14th century catapulted humankind into a completely new way of understanding how nature and the world around us behaved. Whether it was diseases caused by viruses or the vast galaxies of the cosmos, a new army of professionals turned their minds to unlocking and reshaping the universe of our experience with a dialectic positioned between theory and evidence. The field of illustration and the development of knowledge became inseparably intertwined, as can be seen by the majestic works shown in this book that were produced by the scientists and artists who specialized in this combined field. Explore here the work of more than 700 scientists and over 300 discoveries in anatomy, physics, chemistry, astronomy, mechanics, and many other scientific fields, through the visual works that bring them to life. Combined with detailed texts explaining their scientific significance, the illustrations in this book introduce the work of such pionieering scientists as Andreas Vesalius, Isaac Newton, Marie Curie, and Rosalind Franklin. The visualizations themselves present game-changing ideas and discoveries from the 15th century to the present day, notably including Galileo's watercolors of the moon, Bourgery's unparalleled Atlas of Human Anatomy and Surgery, Florence Nightingale's statistical diagrams to indicate war casualties, and Einstein's quickly scribbled ideas for his general theory of relativity. Many discoveries in science take place as the result of counterintuitive thinking, and in order to visualize their work scientists have to connect with the resources of collective knowledge and in turn convey new information back to people. This book is for everyone who is continually amazed by the wonders of our world and who wants to find out more about it through the remarkable illustrations used to present advances in scientific understanding.

The only monograph to chronicle the life and work of one of the most important figures in American landscape architecture. Beatrix Farrand, the only female founder of the American Society of Landscape Architects, is one of the most important landscape architects of the early twentieth century. Today the scope of her work and her influence on the profession are widely acknowledged, and her gardens are being studied, restored, and opened to the public. A long-awaited updated edition of the 2009 definitive monograph, Beatrix Farrand- Garden Artist, Landscape Architect chronicles the life and work of one of the most important figures in American landscape architecture. Born into a prominent New York family (she was Edith Wharton's niece), Farrand designed lavish gardens for the leaders of society, including the Harknesses, the Rockefellers, and the Blisses. Ultimately, her portfolio extended to college and university campuses, including Princeton, Yale, and the University of Chicago, and public gardens, the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and the Rose Garden at the New York Botanical Garden among them. Her best-known design is the landscape at Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, D.C., originally a private residence with extensive grounds and now a research center for Harvard University surrounded by a naturalistic park restored and maintained by the National Park Service. Deeply influenced by the English garden designer Gertrude Jekyll, Farrand was known for broad expanses of lawn with deep swaths of borders planted in a subtle palette of foliage and flowers. In her public work, she adapted this design strategy to create paths and plantings that define the character of the space and the hecirculation through it. Heavily illustrated with archival images and photographs of her gardens at their peak-many taken especially for this book, Beatrix Farrand- Garden Artist, Landscape Architect also displays beautiful watercolor wash renderings of her designs, now preserved at College of Environmental Design of the University of California at Berkeley. The new edition includes updated images that reflect the current state of gardens including the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden at the New York Botanical Garden, the International House Courtyard at the University of Chicago, Garland Farm (Farrand's last home and garden, which has recently been restored), Dumbarton Oaks, Dumbarton Oaks Park (which was not included in the first edition), among others. The book concludes with a comprehensive list of Farrand's commissions and the gardens open to the public, providing direction for further study and exploration. It also features a new preface outlining the milestones in research since the first edition's publication, updated details about ownership and renovations of many properties, and a revised bibliography including articles and books published over the past ten years. Published to coincide with the 150th anniversary of Farrand's birth and written by landscape historian and preservation consultant Judith B. Tankard, Beatrix Farrand- Garden Artist, Landscape Architect takes readers on a tour of Farrand's finest works, celebrating her influence on succeeding generations of women landscape architects.

A landmark anthology on British art history, bringing together overlooked and marginalized perspectives from 'the critical decade' What is Black art? This vital anthology gives voice to a generation of artists of African, Asian and Caribbean heritage who worked within and against British art institutions in the 1980s, including Sonia Boyce, Lubaina Himid, Eddie Chambers and Rasheed Araeen. It brings together artists' statements, interviews, exhibition catalogue essays and reviews, most of which have been unavailable for many years and resonate profoundly today. Together they interrogate the term 'Black art' itself, and revive a forgotten dialogue from a time when men and women who had been marginalized made themselves heard within the art world and beyond.

GamesMaster: The Oral History charts the highs and lows of Channel 4's iconic and anarchic UK videogames entertainment show. First broadcast in 1992 amid a brash youth television takeover, the ambitious and sometimes chaotic production of GamesMaster is as much a story of the 1990s, set against a backdrop of videogame console wars, Britpop and a curious new thing called the World Wide Web. This definitive retrospective is guided by show host Dominik Diamond and features over 40 contributors, including production crew, celebrity guests and the games-playing members of the public who became either playground heroes or defeated outcasts vying for the iconic Golden Joystick prize.

Reeling from a brutal childhood, immersed in a world of go-go dancers and hustlers, dirty cops and gangsters, Stephanie Johnson was determined to become the fiercest thing the city had ever seen. And she succeeded. This is her story. The storytelling phenomenon Humans of New York has captivated a global audience of millions with personal narratives that illuminate the human condition. But one story stands apart from the rest . . . She is a woman as fabulous, unbowed, and irresistible as the city she lives in. Meet Tanqueray.

TEXTile Manifestoes je mezioborová antologie, která spřádá nejrůznější otázky spojené s textilním uměním, módou, textualitou a vetkává je do širších politických, sociologických, filosofických a umělecko-historických souvislostí, čímž překračuje rámec jejich vlastní textury. Propojením triadického celku TEXTu – TEXTilu – TEXTury se TEXTile Manifestoes snaží reflektovat, kreativně přetvářet, kriticky promýšlet, dekonstruovat a dekolonializovat žánrovou ambivalenci manifestu jakožto převážně mužské formy modernity, která autoritářsky usiluje o zcela odlišnou budoucnost. Antologie vychází ze strukturálního a metaforického sepjetí textu a textilu, aby se pokusila jiným způsobem promyslet politické a etické otázky současného světa, který se tak zoufale snaží hledat jistoty a zřetelný program moderního manifestu, a to aniž by se uchýlil k těm nejhorším formám totality. Původní projekt „TEXTile Manifestoes“ vznikl z mezioborové spolupráce několika ateliérů na Vysoké škole uměleckoprůmyslové v Praze. Studentky a studenti ateliérů designu oděvu a obuvi, grafického designu a vizuální komunikace, tvorby písma a typografie a fotografie II byli osloveni, aby společně propletli textil a diskurz jakožto vlastní manifesty kombinující módní kolekce a palčivé otázky současného světa, jako je všudypřítomný dohled a kontrola, umělá inteligence, nebo virtuální realita, případně otázky osobnější týkající se identity, paměti a (duševního) zdraví. Studentské práce následně doplnily a (re)kontextualizovaly zahraniční a tuzemské příspěvky, jejichž rozsah sahá od Andských textilních studií, neuropsychoanalýzy, literární a umělecké kritiky, až po estetiku a muzikologii. Do antologie svými texty přispěli: Kyle Allan, Jayson Althofer, Erik Annerborn, Luciana Benetti Marques Valio, Shelley Burian, Subhradeep Chatterjee, Ingrid Cogne, Arthur Crucq, Evelyn Echle, Pasquale Fameli, Tereza Jiroutová Kynčlová, Paris Lavidis, Elisabeth Längle, Pavel Liška, Veronica Montanino, Robin R. Mudry, Pierluca Nardoni, Anna Maria Panzera, Anika Reineke, I. A. Roland-Rodríguez a Anne Röhl. Publikace vychází pouze v anglické jazykové verzi. Annotation in English: The TEXTile Manifestoes is an interdisciplinary anthology that assembles and interweaves questions related to textile art, fashion and textuality into broader political, sociological, philosophical, art history and historical frameworks thereby expanding their range of textural interconnections. This anthology departs from the genre-related ambivalence of the manifesto as a modern male form of authoritatively demanding radically different futures by using the manifesto to connect with the triadic complex of TEXT – TEXTile – TEXTure in order to reflect, refashion and redefine it in creative, critical, deconstructive and decolonial ways. Departing from the structural and metaphorical contiguity of texts and textiles, TEXTile Manifestoes aims to rethink the political and ethical in a world desperately seeking the certainties and clear programmes of modern manifestoes without returning to the worst forms of historical totality. The original project “TEXTile Manifestoes” emerged out of a cross-disciplinary collaboration between several studios at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. Students from the Studios of Fashion and Footwear Design, Graphic Design, Visual Communication and Type Design as well as Photography II worked together to weave textiles and discourses alike to design their manifestoes by combining fashion collections with burning contemporary issues such as mass surveillance, artifical intelligence or virtual reality but also to more private struggles of identity, memory and (mental) health. The students’ works were later complemented by and (re)contextualised with international contributions ranging from ancient Andean textile studies to neuropsychoanalysis or from literary and art criticism to aesthetics and musicology. With texts by Kyle Allan, Jayson Althofer, Erik Annerbo

This pioneering book stands as the most comprehensive treatment of the lives, ideas and art works of the remarkable group of women who were an essential part of the Surrealist movement. Frida Kahlo, Meret Oppenheim and Dorothea Tanning, among many others, became an embodiment of their age as they struggled towards artistic maturity and their own 'liberation of the spirit' in the context of the Surrealist revolution. Their stories and their achievements are presented here against the background of the turbulent decades of the 1920s, 30s and 40s, and the war that forced Surrealism into exile in New York and Mexico. With 145 illustrations in colour

Antonín Heythum (1901-1954) byl výjimečnou a výraznou osobností výtvarné kultury v meziválečném Československu a později v USA. Významně zasáhl do několika oborů (scénografie, architektura, nábytek, průmyslový design, pracoval jako vysokoškolský pedagog), avšak jeho tvorba byla dosud zpracována zlomkovitě, bez širšího kontextu, izolovaně a s omezením pouze na některé obory. Přípravě knihy předcházelo pečlivé zmapování jeho rozsáhlého mezioborového díla v archívech na českém i americkém území s cílem popsat a zhodnotit jeho přínos pro všechny zmíněné oblasti. Pečlivě je popsána rovněž jeho spolupráce s významnými umělci (Man Ray, Erwin Piscator, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, Frederic Kann atd.) a jeho výstavní aktivity probíhající ve více než šedesáti místech Evropy a USA. Knižní monografie vychází v česko-anglické jazykové mutaci. Publikace obsahuje úplný soupis inscenací Antonína Heythuma, rejstřík a resumé. Text doprovází bohatý obrazový materiál z rodinné pozůstalosti, českých a amerických sbírek (plány, kresby, scénické a kostýmní návrhy, fotografie, rukopisy) a poznámkový aparát.

Kniha nadväzuje na úspešnú knihu Voľným okom. Je zameraná na interpretáciu diel slovenského výtvarného umenia, prevažne diel, ktoré tvoria základ slovenskej výtvarnej moderny.
