Oldřich Hamera
Oldřich Hamera (1944) je bez vší pochyby jedním z nejoriginálnějších umělců, spojujících ve své osobě hned několik talentů. Vedle výtvarného, je nezpochybnitelně i literární, pedagogický a rétorický. Přesto zůstal ve stínu. Za komunismu nedobrovolně a posléze z vlastního rozhodnutí, nechtěje se podílet na komercionalizaci kulturního provozu. Kniha přináší vůbec poprvé přehled vývoje Hamerova grafického díla od šedesátých let do současnosti. Přestavuje nejen netradiční techniky objevené v polovině padesátých let jeho učitelem a našim předním grafikem Vladimírem Boudníkem, jež Hamera upravuje a dodnes rozvíjí, ale i vlastní monotypické postupy a poodhaluje tajemství své tvorby. Hamerovo dílo je ukázkou stírání hranic mezi uměleckou tvorbou a jednotlivými vědními obory, kterým se umělec po celý život s vášní věnuje mineralogie, paleontologie a geologie. V textové části knihy Hamera vypráví o svém přátelství s Vladimírem Boudníkem, Bohumilem Hrabalem, se kterým prožil více než třicet let, i o setkáních s dalšími osobnostmi kulturního života. Kniha se věnuje také Hamerově neoficiální vydavatelské činnosti sedmdesátých a osmdesátých let.
Václav Fiala - Sochy
Sochařem se nikdo nevyučí sochařem se prostě někdo stane, začíná Jiří T. Kotalík úvodní text do monografie sochaře Václava Fialy.
Na čtyřista stran fotografií soch umístěných ve veřejném prostoru, v nezvyklých interiérech nebo v autorově ateliéru, v bývalé tankové garáži v rodných Klatovech.
Fiala se k sochařské práci dostal ve svých sedmatřiceti letech a jaksi skokem. O tom, že socha dokáže změnit život je několik textů, které knihu provázejí. Bilanční publikaci doprovodili svými texty Jaromír Zemina, Marcel Fišer, Rostislav Švácha a Josef Vomáčka. Uznání a respekt si musíte tvrdě odpracovat, končí Kotalík svůj text. Václav Fiala celým svým životem a dílem dokazuje, že jeho dávný sen o budoucí profesi se vrchovatou měrou naplnil.
Dnes patří Václav Fiala k nepřehlédnutelným osobnostem současné domácí sochařské scény. Patří k nejvšestrannějším tvůrcům své doby s výrazným monumentálním cítěním a schopností pro silné kontextuální působení soch v konkrétním prostředí. Dopracoval k osobitému výrazu, který jej charakterizuje a jasně vymezuje. Jeho dílo se v čase proměňuje, protože rád experimentuje. Má dokonalý cit pro materiál a občas, pro sochaře netradičně, zapojuje do konečného výrazu, s razancí a přímočarostí, i barvu.
Vily na Slavíne
Pokračovanie úspešnej monografie Vily nad Bratislavou vo forme malého sprievodcu Na prechádzkach po atraktívnej vilovej štvrti sa zoznámime s najvýznamnejšími vilami v mimoriadne pestrom slohovom spektre - od romantickej eklektiky až po súčasnosť. Na malom priestore v okolí Slavína tu v posledných desaťročiach dominujú moderné vily s často nevšednou architektúrou. Autori objavili množstvo nových materiálov, fotografií a ďalších príbehov a informácií o vilách, ich majiteľoch a obyvateľoch a histórii tejto lokality.
Ve jménu moudrosti
Barokní knihovny patří k nejkrásnějším a také nejzajímavějším interiérům, které se z období baroka zachovaly. Jejich umělecká výzdoba vyniká především nástěnnými malbami, jejichž ikonografie je mnohdy zcela jedinečná. Náměty fresek obvykle navrhovali představení klášterů či vzdělaní členové klášterní komunity a jejich tematika byla vždy spojena s oslavou Boží moudrosti. Tento základní námětový okruh byl různě variován a v mnoha případech zahrnoval unikátní motivy, jejichž interpretace je dnes velmi obtížná. Porozumět těmto výjimečným malbám umožňuje studium dobové ikonologie a kulturního kontextu, v němž tyto malby vznikaly. Kniha je první monografií věnovanou umělecké výzdobě barokních klášterních knihoven v 18. století na Moravě. Je zaměřena zejména na rekonstrukci ikonografických programů nástěnných maleb v knihovnách, ale zabývá se také formálně-stylovou stránkou fresek a jejich autorstvím. Všímá si i další umělecké výzdoby knihovních sálů, zejména sochařské, a je-li to možné, zapojuje výzdobu knihoven do ikonologické koncepce daných objektů.
Nature - Collaborations in Design
An exploration of the ways in which designers are striving to transform our relationship with the natural world.
Designers today are striving to transform our relationship with the natural world. While the modern industrial age gave way to designs that vastly improved human enterprise through technology, there were unintended and destructive consequences for the environment. Humans are intrinsically linked to nature yet our actions have frayed this relationship, forcing designers to think more intentionally and to consider the impact of every design decision, from an artifact's manufacture and use to its obsolescence. Designers are aligning with biologists, engineers, agriculturists, environmentalists and many other disciplines to design a more harmonious and regenerative future. Based on these new partnerships, designers are asking different questions and anticipating future challenges, which not only change the design process, but also what design means.
Nature: Collaborations in Design includes over sixty-five international projects from the fields of architecture, product design, landscape design, fashion, interactive and communication design, and material research. More than 300 compelling and exquisite photographs, illustrations and content from data visualizations illustrate seven essays, which explain and explore designers' strategies around understanding, simulating, salvaging, facilitating, augmenting, remediating and nurturing nature. Four conversations between scientists and designers delve into topics related to synthetic biology, scientific versus design lexicon, and recent shifts in the meaning of nature with a glossary illuminating scientific, technological and theoretical concepts and processes invoked by the designers.
Representing Women
Women - as warriors, workers, mothers, sensual women,even absent women - haunt 19th- and 20th-century Western painting: their representation is one of its most common subjects.
Representing Women brings together Linda Nochlin's most important writings on the subject, as she considers work by Miller, Delacroix, Courbet, Degas, Seurat, Cassatt and Kollwitz, among many others. In her riveting, partly autobiographical, extended introduction, Nochlin documents her own pioneering approach to art history; throughout the seven essays in this book, she argues for the honest virtues of an art history that rejects methodological assumptions, and for art historians who investigate the work before their eyes while focusing on its subject matter, informed by a sensitivity to its feminist spirit.

From exploring new ways to build with radical, sustainable materials to sensitively honouring the vernacular traditions of the country's complex history, each architect brings their unique vision to the question of what architecture means in China today.

Leonardo
For the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci, this updated edition of our XL title provides the most comprehensive survey of the life and work of the master painter, sculptor, architect, and inventor. The catalogue raisonnéof paintings covers both surviving and lost works, while full-bleed detailsallow us to inspect even the subtlest brushstrokes that came to revolutionize art history.
Unmatched in his ingenuity, technical prowess, and curiosity, Leonardo da Vinci(1452–1519) epitomizes the humanistic ideal of the Renaissance man: a peerless master of painting, sculpture, cartography, anatomy, architecture—and more.

His images permeate nearly every facet of Western culture—The Vitruvian Manis engraved into millions of Euro coins, The Last Supperis considered the single most reproduced religious painting in history, and the Mona Lisahas entranced countless artists and observers for centuries.

Through stunning full-bleed details, we experience every measured brushstroke, each a testament to Leonardo’s masterful ability.
An expansive catalog of nearly 700 of Leonardo’s drawingsfurther illuminates the breadth of his pursuits. From diagrams of intricately engineered machines to portraits of plump infants, they stand reflective of his boundless and visionary technical imagination, balanced with a subtle and perceptive hand, capable of rendering quotidian moments with moving emotional timbre.
Also included is a new forewordby Frank Zöllner, expanded exclusively for this special edition, which dissects the latest scientific developments on Leonardo’s work and the story behind the haunting Salvator Mundi, which recently fetched a record-breaking $ 450 million at auction.
