Peter Saul
A fascinating and comprehensive monograph highlighting the career of the provocative American painter Peter Saul
Peter Saul is known for his vivid, cartoon-like paintings that satirize American culture. Influenced by the Chilean surrealist painter Roberto Matta and by MAD magazine, Saul developed his unique neo-surrealist style in contrast to the abstract expressionist aesthetic that prevailed at the time. Through wide-ranging imagery, Saul's darkly humorous works trenchantly comment on contemporary politics and culture.
Van Eyck
Flemish painter Jan Van Eyck (c. 1390-1441) towered above his contemporaries. With his unprecedented technique, scientific knowledge and unparalleled powers of observation, Van Eyck lifted oil painting to previously unseen heights and helped determine the course of Western art.
In 2020 the Museum of Fine Arts Ghent will host the largest ever exhibition of Van Eyck's work. An Optical Revolution includes artworks by Van Eyck, several pieces from his studio and international masterpieces from the late Middle Ages, which makes the world of Van Eyck more tangible than ever. This tie-in exhibition catalogue unravels some of the myths that surround Van Eyck and his technique while showing his complete oeuvre and his influence in a new perspective. Central to the exhibition are the eight restored exterior panels of the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, a highly exceptional loan from St Bavo's Cathedral in Ghent. After the exhibition the panels will return to their original place in the cathedral and never again be shown elsewhere. Including essays by leading experts from around the world, this book will be an indispensable resource for Van Eyck fans and scholars alike.

East of Nowhere
In 1987 Fabio Ponzio decided to embark on a photographic odyssey in search of Eastern Europe. When he arrived in Poland the country was on the verge of collapse. There was little food in the shops and the queues to buy bread were immense. In Ceausescu's Romania, people's lives were reduced to a succession of dark days; the Securitate wielded absolute control and used informants, bribery and violence to beat any instinct for freedom out of individuals. In the same period, in Yugoslavia, the beginnings of what was to become the catastrophe of successive years were being laid out, while the West looked on in supreme indifference.
In the autumn of 1989, everything changed. The various regimes of the communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe began to collapse in Budapest, Berlin, Warsaw, Prague, Sofia and Bucharest in a domino effect that continued in Albania and ended two years later in the Soviet Union. Ponzio continued his travels across an immense territory with a Leica, three Nikons and 100 rolls of film, in search of the people of the East, documenting the old energy that had been fortified through pain and sacrifice, now joined by a new energy, full of hope.
Year after year, Ponzio returned to capture the many faces and stark differences of the other Europe, in search of the elements that make up the shared destiny of the peoples of Eastern Europe. Collected here are his stunning portraits of their traditions and faith, humility and courage, vulnerability and survival.

Ivo Žídek
V pořadí 11. svazek edice Osobnosti české scénografie je věnována osobnosti scénografa Ivo Žídka. Česko-anglická monografie mapuje Žídkovu činnost od počátečních prací v Ústí nad Labem a Činoherním klubu přes období spolupráce s režisérem Janem Grossmanem s stěžejních inscenacích Divadla Na zábradlí až po jeho nedávnou činnost v Divadle Viola. Ivo Žídek Ivo Žídek se narodil v roce 1948, studoval scénografii na pražské DAMU u profesora Františka Tröstera, poté na UMPRUM v ateliéru architektury Josefa Svobody. V letech 1979 1984 působil ve Státním divadle Z. Nejedlého v Ústí nad Labem, Činoherním klubu. Zde prožil jeho významnou éru, kdy se toto malé divadlo dostalo do centra zájmu pro svoji odvážnou dramaturgii, režii a pozoruhodný soubor mladých talentovaných herců. Navázal úzkou spolupráci s režisérem Ivanem Rajmontem a kostýmní výtvarnicí Irenou Greifovou (inscenace Goldoniáda, Dobové tance, Obrazy z dějin, Zojčin byt, Heda Gablerová a další). V karlínském Hudebním divadle našel dalšího trvalého režijního partnera Petra Novotného (Cikáni jdou do nebe, Někdo to rád horké, My Fair Lady ad.). Ivan Rajmont ho přivedl koncem 80. let do Divadla Na zábradlí v Praze (Tatarská pouť, Caligula), v období let 1989 1993 zde spolupracoval s režisérem Janem Grossmanem na stěžejních inscenacích této éry (Don Juan, Largo desolato, Pokoušení).

V roce 1989 se setkal s režisérkou Lídou Engelovou; převážně spolupracovali na francouzských komediích, dodnes spolu tvoří komorní inscenace v pražském Divadle Viola.
Bond
Terry O'Neill was given his first chance to photograph Sean Connery as James Bond in the film Goldfinger. From that moment, O'Neill's association with Bond was made: an enduring legacy that has carried through to the era of Daniel Craig.
It was O'Neill who captured gritty and roguish pictures of Connery on set, and it was O'Neill who framed the super-suave Roger Moore in Live and Let Die. His images of Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore are also important, celebrating the vital role of women in the James Bond world. But it is Terry O'Neill's casual, on-set photographs of a mischievous Connery walking around the casinos of Las Vegas or Roger Moore dancing on a bed with co-star Madeline Smith that show the other side of the world's most recognisable spy.
Terry O'Neill opens his archive to give readers - and viewers - the chance to enter the dazzling world of James Bond. Lavish colour and black and white images are complemented by insights from O'Neill, alongside a series of original essays on the world of James Bond by BAFTA-longlisted film writer, James Clarke; and newly-conducted interviews with a number of actors featured in O'Neill's photographs.
Henri Cartier-Bresson: Photographer
Reproduced in exquisite black and white, the images in this book range from Henri Cartier-Bresson's earliest work in France, Spain, and Mexico through his postwar travels in Asia, the US, and Russia, and even include landscapes from the 1970s, when he retired his camera to pursue drawing. While his instinct for capturing what he called the decisive moments was unparalleled, as a photojournalist Cartier-Bresson was uniquely concerned with the human impact of historic events. In his photographs of the liberation of France from the Nazis, the death of Gandhi, and the creation of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Cartier-Bresson focused on the reactions of the crowds rather than the subjects of the events.
And while his portraits of Sartre, Giacometti, Faulkner, Capote, and other artists are iconic, he gave equal attention to those forgotten by history: a dead resistance fighter lying on the bank of the Rhine, children playing alongside the Berlin Wall, and a eunuch in Peking's Imperial Court. Divided into six thematic sections, the book presents the photographs in spare double-page spreads. In a handwritten note included at the end of the book, Cartier-Bresson writes, "In order to give meaning to the world, one must feel involved in what one singles out through the viewfinder." His work shows how he has been able to capture the decisive moment with such extreme humility and profound humanity.
Abeceda klavíristy
Alfred Brendel (5. ledna 1931) je rakousko-britský klavirísta, básník a spisovatel. Bývá považován za jednoho z největších pianistů všech dob. Narodil se v Loučné nad Desnou v okrese Šumperk v rodině nehudebníků. Do svých šesti let žil v Československu, poté se rodina odstěhovala do Záhřebu v Jugoslávii a pak do rakouského Štýrského Hradce. Na hodiny klavíru začal docházet v šesti letech. Pak studoval na konzervatoři ve Štýrském Hradci u profesorky Ludoviky von Kaanové a kompozici u Artura Michela. Studia dokončil u rakouského klavíristy a skladatele Eduarda Steuermanna, a zejména absolvováním mistrovských kurzů švýcarského pianisty a dirigenta Edwina Fischera. Brendel poprvé veřejně koncertoval ve Štýrském Hradci, když mu bylo sedmnáct.
Od doby, kdy Alfred Brendel přestal koncertovat, se soustředí na předávání svých zkušeností ostatním. Vedle přednášek, workshopů apod. je výsledkem kniha Abeceda klavíristy, která potěší každého, kdo má zájem o techniku, historii klavíru a klavírní repertoár. Erudovaný, vtipný, poučný a hluboce osobní pohled je ideální pro všechny milovníky klavíru, hudebníky a fanoušky hudby. Jakýkoli hudební nástroj je zřídkakdy popsán tak zábavným a inteligentním způsobem.
Lartigue
As a little boy of seven or eight, Jacques Henri Lartigue was given his first camera, and soon was developing his own photographs. Born into a prosperous family, from childhood Lartigue acutely observed the social rituals of the upper echelons of society through his photography. The hand-held Kodak camera, first introduced in 1888, granted the young photographer flexibility to capture the fine details of eccentric family members at home, the elaborate social parade in the Bois de Boulogne, on the beach in Normandy and beyond. Classic images of motor cars and high fashion sit alongside previously unpublished photographs from the Lartigue archive. These images of family beau-monde and demi-monde life are not only evidence of a prodigious talent, but also offer an intimate, adolescent perspective of Belle-Epoque Paris, the world of Proust, Debussy and the Nabis, before the outbreak of the First World War.
At a young age Lartigue mastered the medium of photography: this exploration of his extraordinary childhood is interwoven with a social and cultural portrait of the Belle Epoque. Bonnard and Vuillard used the camera as a reference point for painting, Eugene Atget documented the architecture of the old Paris ahead of its developers, but Lartigue was the first to harness the immediacy of the snapshot, often capturing his subjects mid-gesture as in real life, creating a new visual language for the 20th century.

A Visual Protest: The Art of Banksy
Decades before he blew the lid off the high-stakes art world by shredding a work immediately following its purchase at an auction, Banksy was committing acts of artistic protest on the streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world. We still don't know who Banksy is, but thanks to this book we have a greater sense of how he works. This book features approximately eighty works from the start of his street art career to today, most photographed in situ and presented in vibrant illustrations. This book guides readers through Banksy's artistic processes and explains his influences, such as the Situationism movement and the May 1968 uprising in Paris. It delves into key works such as Love Is in the Air, a stencilled graffiti that subverts the idea of violent protest; Flag, in which the iconic American photograph at Iwo Jima is altered to reflect a group of Harlem children atop a burnt-out car; and the slyly titled Turf War, in which Winston Churchill sports a grassy Mohawk. The book also pays tribute to Banksy's rats, a reviled symbol of urban decay that the artist reimagines as rappers, violin players, and painters. As Banksy continues to challenge the political, economic, and racial oppression that takes place every day in cities around the world, this book offers a timely appreciation of just how the artist has embedded himself into the psyche of the powerful as well as the voiceless-without ever revealing his own identity.
Text a divadlo
Monografii uvádí rozsáhlá studie Divadlo a text jako průnik fuzzy množin, která velmi komplexně načrtává široké sémantické pole vztahu literární a divadelní komunikace. Dále je kniha rozdělena do šesti tematických oddílů: 1. Teorie současného dramatu/divadelního textu; 2. Poetiky – dramatické a režijní; 3. Dobové fenomény – publikování a recepce díla; 4. Intertextové vztahy – v operním libretu a dramatizacích literárních textů; 5. Dramatičtí autoři; 6. Performeři a písničkáři. Struktura celé knihy pokrývá mnohorozměrný fenomén vztahu textu a divadla na několika úrovních, když v úvodních statích se jeho povaha představuje především v obecné, teoretické rovině, kdežto závěrečné oddíly knihy tento vztah demonstrují na jednom, historicky jedinečném fenoménu.
Natural Palettes
Renowned natural dyer, artist, and educator Sasha Duerr envisions a new age of fresh, modern color palettes, drawing from our original source of inspiration and ingredients-the natural world around us. This innovative plant-based color-guide includes twenty-five palettes with five hundred natural color swatches, providing inspiration for sustainable fashion, textiles, fine art, floral design, food, medicine, gardening, interior design, and other creative disciplines. Bring the healing power of forest bathing into your home with a palette of spruce cones, pine needles, and balsam branches. Move past Pantone and embrace the natural balance of a pollinator palette with Hopi sunflower, red poppy, echinacea, and scabiosa.
Duerr complements the palettes with short essays that provide useful information. She connects the colors with particular landscapes, the restorative qualities of medicinal plants, common garden flora, lifestyle experiences, food and floral waste, and the ecological benefits of using organic materials to create colors. You may never view color-or your plants-the same way again.
Neri Oxman: Mediated Matter
The first survey on the interdisciplinary biodesign genius of Neri Oxman, pioneer of "material ecology
Throughout her 20-year career, Neri Oxman has invented not only new ideas for materials, buildings and construction processes, but also new frameworks for interdisciplinary--and interspecies--collaborations. She coined the term "material ecology" to describe her process of producing techniques and objects informed by the structural, systemic and aesthetic wisdom of nature, from the shells of crustaceans to the flow of human breathing. Groundbreaking for its solid technological and scientific basis, its rigorous and daring experimentation, its visionary philosophy and its unquestionable attention to formal elegance, Oxman's work operates at the intersection of biology, engineering, architecture and artistic design, material science and computer science. This book--designed by Irma Boom and published to accompany a midcareer retrospective of Oxman's work--highlights the interdisciplinary nature of the designer's practice. It demonstrates how Oxman's contributions allow us to question and redefine the idea of modernism--a concept in constant evolution--and of organic design. Some of the projects featured in the book and exhibition include the Silk Pavilion, which harnesses silkworms' ability to generate a 3-D cocoon out of a single thread silk in order to create architectural constructions; Aguahoja, a water-based fabrication platform that prints structures made out of different biopolymers; and Glass, an additive manufacturing technology for 3-D printing optically transparent glass structures at architectural dimensions. Israeli American architect, designer and inventor Neri Oxman (born 1976) is professor of media arts and sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, among others.
