Piranesi drawings - visions of antiquity


The first exploration of Piranesi's work as a draughtsman, published to coincide with an exhibition at the British Museum. The Venetian-born artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) is best known for his dramatic prints of the architecture and antiquities of his adopted city of Rome, and for the extraordinary flights of spatial fancy in his series Le Carceri (Prisons). But he was also an astonishingly talented draughtsman, as revealed in this outstanding collection of drawings at the British Museum. This book explores the relationship between Piranesi's drawings and prints, and reveals the way in which his style and interests as a draughtsman evolved over time. Some are spontaneous 'primi pensieri', first thoughts that anticipate a bigger work; others explore more complex exercises in perspective and spatial representation. Piranesi drawings reveals the quality and lasting impact of the work of this remarkably influential artist.

Koolhaas. Countryside A Report


The rural, remote, and wild territories we call "countryside", or the 98% of the earth's surface not occupied by cities, make up the front line where today's most powerful forces-climate and ecological devastation, migration, tech, demographic lurches-are playing out. Increasingly under a 'Cartesian' regime-gridded, mechanized, and optimized for maximal production-these sites are changing beyond recognition. In his latest publication, Rem Koolhaas explores the rapid and often hidden transformations underway across the Earth's vast non-urban areas.Countryside, A Report gathers travelogue essays exploring territories marked by global forces and experimentation at the edge of our consciousness: a test site near Fukushima, where the robots that will maintain Japan's infrastructure and agriculture are tested; a greenhouse city in the Netherlands that may be the origin for the cosmology of today's countryside; the rapidly thawing permafrost of Central Siberia, a region wrestling with the possibility of relocation; refugees populating dying villages in the German countryside and intersecting with climate change activists; habituated mountain gorillas confronting humans on 'their' territory in Uganda; the American Midwest, where industrial-scale farming operations are coming to grips with regenerative agriculture; and Chinese villages transformed into all-in-one factory, e-commerce stores, and fulfillment centers. This book is the official companion to the Guggenheim Museum exhibition Countryside, The Future. The exhibition and book mark a new area of investigation for architect and urbanist Rem Koolhaas, who launched his career with two city-centric entities: The Office for Metropolitan Architecture (1975) and Delirious New York (1978). It's designed by Irma Boom, who drew inspiration for the book's pocket-sized concept, as well as its innovative typography and layout, from her research in the Vatican library. The book brings together collaborative research by AMO, Koolhaas, and students at the Harvard Graduate School of Design; the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing; Wageningen University in the Netherlands; and the University of Nairobi. Contributors also include Samir Bantal, Janna Bystrykh, Troy Conrad Therrien, Lenora Ditzler, Clemens Driessen, Alexandra Kharitonova, Keigo Kobayashi, Niklas Maak, Etta Madete, Federico Martelli, Ingo Niermann, Dr. Linda Nkatha Gichuyia, Kayoko Ota, Stephan Petermann, and Anne M. Schneider.

Surrealizmus (Umenie v skratke)


Druhá kniha z edície Umenie v skratke je venovaná jednému z najvplyvnejších umeleckých hnutí 20. storočia – surrealizmu. Kľúčové myšlienky tohto hnutia predstavil francúzsky básnik André Breton v Manifeste surrealizmu v roku 1924. Surrealisti sa zahĺbili do podvedomia a neostýchali sa prepájať bizarné, vzájomne nesúvisiace predmety. Osvojili si všetky dostupné médiá, od úžasnej kožušinovej šálky Meret Oppenheimovej po Las Pozas, fantastickú záhradu Edwarda Jamesa, nachádzajúcu sa v hlbinách mexického dažďového pralesa. Ako prví prišli s myšlienkou inštalácie ako tvorivej koncepcie výstavy. Britská historička umenia Amy Dempsey v tejto pôsobivej knihe predstavuje najvýznamnejších predstaviteľov hnutia, ich diela a vyše 40-ročné pôsobenie surrealistických skupín na medzinárodnej umeleckej scéne.

Biologie umění


Na první pohled se pojem umění zdá být víceméně jasný. Problém ovšem nastává v okamžiku, kdy ho máme vysvětlit a popsat někomu dalšímu. Mnozí z nás pak nejspíš dospějí k závěru, že umění jako abstraktní entituči lidskou činnost vyčerpávajícím způsobem definovat nelze. Tato „nedokonalost“ lidského poznání znesnadňuje již samotné pátrání po původu, příčinách i samotném jeho smyslu nejen v dávné minulosti. Život na planetě Zemi se po miliardy let vyvíjel pod taktovkou přírodních zákonů. Před dvěma či třemi sty tisíci lety se však přihodilo něco zvláštního, co tato planeta do té doby nezaznamenala. Objevil se člověk Homo sapiens, jehož mysl byla obdařena dosud nepoznanou neurologickou kvalitou, zcela novým typem vědomí, které charakterizuje nebývalá inteligence a také naprosto nový fenomén, totiž lidská kultura a její výsostný produkt umění. Od tohoto okamžiku se život na Zemi začal vyvíjet ve zcela nových souvislostech, kterým nejsme schopni plně porozumět ani dnes. Naprostá většina vypravěčů umění začíná líčit jeho příběh v mladším paleolitu, v temnotě franko-kantabrijských jeskyní, či pod skalními převisy v Austrálii. A není divu, malby na stěnách jeskyně Chauvet, Altamira, Lascaux stejně jako pod skalním převisem Nawarla Gabarnmang v australské buši jsou jednoduše fantastické, dechberoucí, ohromující! Avšak navzdory skutečnosti, že člověk je tvor výsostně kulturní, zůstalo mu jeho biologické dědictví zachováno v plné míře. Existuje tedy nějaký vztah mezi uměním a biologickými zákonitostmi, obecně řečeno kulturou a naturou? A pokud ano, jakou roli při evoluci umění sehrála právě biologie?

Turner's Apprentice


How can a modern painter go about learning the techniques and methods of a longdead master? Drawing on years of research and practice, this book shows you how. Tony Smibert brings us a virtual 'apprenticeship', sharing a method and approach of his own that emulates Turner and yet is contemporary, original and innovative. Smibert is known for watercolours inspired by Turner and the golden age of British watercolour (1750-1850). His method of painting in Turner's style, informed by a fifty-year journey into non-Western painting cultures, ingeniously draws together ideas and principles from East and West to bring out an entirely new perspective on Turner's practice. A working manual for artists, the book brings together elements of practice from historic masters including Leonardo, Claude Lorraine and Monet as well as Turner. This is a book for anyone aspiring to learn from any master, explaining the practice and philosophy of traditional apprenticeship from the point of view of diverse models. Even to those who may never paint, Turner's Apprentice offers a tantalizing glimpse of the thrill of painting and learning, and an inspiring tool for art appreciation.

Mulattató vadászrajzok


Az életet irányító komoly dolgokon kívül két szenvedély van, ami különösen összeköti azokat, akikben közös. Az egyik a kártya, a másik a vadászat. Csakhogy amíg a kártya többé-kevésbé az ellenfelet, - néha az ellenséget, - láttatja egymásban a játszó felekkel: a vadászat éppen megfordítva, a legkedvesebb pajtási, gyakran baráti viszonyt kelti és erősíti meg. A vadásztársaságok rendszerint vidámak, tréfálni szeretők, móka- és adomakedvelők. Mindenki átél valamit a vadászéletében, ami mulatságos, és aminek az elmondásával meg lehet nevettetni, s aki maga nem dicsekedhet vele, hogy érdekes vagy bolondos esetei voltak: legalább hallott effélét, s azt adja tovább jókedvűen. Ez a könyv ilyesmik gyűjteménye. Tréfás vadászesetek, kalandok, s adomajellegű apróságok vannak benne. Mulattatni kívánom vele az olvasót. Jókedvet kívánok mindenkinek.

Dorothea Lange: Words + Pictures


On the unique synthesis of word and image in Dorothea Lange's boldly political photography, which defined the iconography of WPA and Depression-era America Toward the end of her life, Dorothea Lange reflected, "All photographs--not only those that are so-called 'documentary'... can be fortified by words." Though Lange's career is widely heralded, this connection between words and pictures has received scant attention. A committed social observer, Lange paid sharp attention to the human condition, conveying stories of everyday life through her photographs and the voices they drew in. Published in conjunction with the first major MoMA exhibition of Lange's in 50 years, Dorothea Lange: Words & Pictures brings fresh attention to iconic works from the collection together with lesser-known photographs--from early street photography to projects on the criminal justice system. The work's complex relationships to words show Lange's interest in art's power to deliver public awareness and to connect to intimate narratives in the world. Presenting Lange's work in its diverse contexts--photobooks, Depression-era government reports, newspapers, magazines, poems--along with the voices of contemporary artists, writers and thinkers, the book offers a nuanced understanding of Lange's career, and new means for considering words and pictures today. An introductory essay by curator Sarah Hermanson Meister is followed by sections organized according to "words" from a range of historical contexts: Lange's landmark photobook An American Exodus, Life and Aperture magazines, an illustrated guide to minimize racism in jury trials, and many more. These contexts are punctuated with original contributions from a distinguished group of contemporary writers, artists and critical thinkers, including Julie Ault, Kimberly Juanita Brown, River Encalada Bullock, Sam Contis, Jennifer Greenhill, Lauren Kroiz, Sally Mann, Sandra Phillips, Wendy Red Star, Christina Sharpe, Rebecca Solnit, Robert Slifkin and Tess Taylor. Dorothea Lange (1895-1965) operated a successful San Francisco portrait studio in the 1920s before going on to work with the Resettlement Administration (and later the Farm Security Administration) documenting the hardships of the Great Depression and Dust Bowl migration. During World War II, Lange worked for the US government photographing the Japanese American internment camps, and California's wartime economy. Lange's photographs were published widely during her lifetime. Lange worked closely with curator John Szarkowski on a retrospective that opened posthumously in 1966 at the Museum of Modern Art. --Charles Caesar "Galerie"
