Divided into chapters, each covering a different era, the book traces the evolution of jazz and blues from their nineteenth-century African-American origins right through to the present day. Each chapter starts with a Sounds & Sources section, looking at the key developments in the music during that period.
This is followed by an A-Z of artists from that era, with more extensive entries on key artists that include recommended classic recordings. With further sections on Styles, covering everything from Ragtime to Bebop and Texas Blues to Rhythm & Blues, and more; and Instruments, all written by a team of experts, this invaluable encyclopedia is comprehensive, easy to use and highly informative.

The Short Story of Modern Art explains the how, why and when of modern art - who introduced certain things, what they were, where they were produced, and why they matter.
Simply constructed, the book explores 50 key works - from the realist painting of Courbet to a contemporary installation by Yayoi Kusama - and then links them to the most important movements, themes and techniques.

How to Do Great Work Without Being an Asshole
It's long been an accepted, almost celebrated, fact of the creative industries that long hours, chaotic workflows and egotistical colleagues are just the price you pay to produce great work. In fact, this toxic culture is the enemy of creativity, and with greater accountability and transparency in the industry - and more choice for young talent - than ever before, this unsustainable way of doing business is a ticking time bomb.
This is a straight-talking, fun read for all creatives: Director or junior, at an agency or client-side, working in design, advertising, publishing, fashion or film.
Packed with anecdotes, self-analysis flowcharts (are YOU the asshole?!), exercises and action plans for better working practices.
Imro Weiner - Kráľ
Reprezentatívna monografia predstavuje na 334 stranách tvorbu Imra Weinera-Kráľa z celého tvorivého obdobia, a to nielen olejomaľbu, ale aj akvarely a kresby. Publikácia nadväzuje na monografiu z roku 2001, ale neopakuje diela už predtým reprodukované. Na rozdiel od predchádzajúcej je rozčlenená do deviatich tematických okruhov, ktoré sú uvádzané citáciami autora a celá kniha je aj bilingválna: francúzsko-slovenská. Okrem autorky koncepcie a textu výtvarnej teoretičky Dagmar Kudoláni Srnenskej je spoluautorkou aj dcéra maliara Elise Weiner Kral, ktorá napísala krásnu a dojímavú spomienku na otca.
Zostavovateľka knihy Dagmar Kudoláni Srnenská sa zamerala na menej známe maľby a tak vybrala na reprodukovanie diela nielen z majetku desiatich slovenských galérií, ale vhodne ich doplnila prácami zo súkromných zbierok. Dôležitou súčasťou monografie je kalendárium, fotografie zo života umelca a jeho rodiny, maliarove spomienky na roky strávené doma a v zahraničí, ako aj jeho komentáre k vlastnej tvorbe a výtvarnému dianiu doby, v ktorej žil a pracoval. Koncepcia: Dagmar Kudoláni Srnenská, texty: Imro Weiner-Kráľ, Elise Weiner Kral, Dagmar Kudoláni Srnenská. Preklady z a do francúzštiny: Dagmar Ondrejková v spolupráci s Elise Weiner Kral. Grafická úprava a dizajn: Juraj Blaško.
Miroslav Horníček
Miroslav Horníček umělec, jehož lze jen těžko charakterizovat jedním slovem, byl zkrátka výjimečný. Jeho nadčasový smysl pro humor, přirozenou noblesu, pronikavý intelekt, pracovitost a vzácné herecké nadání připomíná výpravná publikace, která vychází u příležitosti stého výročí umělcova narození. Obsahově nabitá kniha je vyústěním mnohaleté badatelské a sběratelské práce Horníčkova obdivovatele Petra Jamníka, který pro ni vybral desítky mnohdy unikátních fotografií a artefaktů ze své sbírky a vedle textů mapujících Horníčkův život ji obohatil také o vzpomínky jeho nejbližších přátel a spolupracovníků, jako byli Hana Hegerová, Jiří Suchý, Milan Lasica, Anna Sováková, Vladimír Just a mnoho dalších. Kniha tak není jen důstojnou poctou a poutavou připomínkou Horníčkovy umělecké a tvůrčí činnosti, ale svou zasvěcenou erudicí, zasazující do kontextu množství dobových dokumentů, programů divadelních her, rukopisů, nepublikovaných glos, fejetonů či dopisů, komplexním pohledem na jednu z nejvýznamnějších osobností českého kulturního života.
Vases - 250 state-of-the-art designs
Vase design is blooming. As the vase has become one of the most universal home accessories, contemporary designers are pushing the boundaries, making vases that are not only functional, beautiful objects, but also works of art and conceptual statements. The history of design includes many significant examples of state-of-the-art vases, but the scope and quality of those that we can admire today are unprecedented. From Ted Muehling's sleek, gilded `Goose Egg' to Glithero's botanical cyanotypes on ceramic and Joogii Design's colour-shifting prisms covered in dichroic film, there are no limits to what contemporary designers can make out of what is fundamentally a container for holding flowers.
This book includes important mid-century and late 20th-century vases by acclaimed artists, but primarily focuses on the 21st-century scene, with a wide international selection of emerging designers from the younger generation. Inspired by the organic world, architectural elements, artworks or geometric rules, all these designers translate their original visions into a variety of forms, blurring the lines between design, sculpture and architecture. The vases featured in this book are contemporary works of art, worthy of inclusion in museum collections - as many already are.
Seven Keys to Modern Art
As artists push further and further beyond their, and our, comfort zones, this book aims to help decipher the bizarre and often intimidating aspects of modern and contemporary art by exploring twenty works of art in terms of seven `keys'. History, biography, aesthetics, experience, theory, criticism and the market represent conventional `modes of existence' for every artwork discussed, but in a fascinating variety of ways. Simon Morley shows how twenty well-known but little-understood works of art can serve as useful springboards not only for understanding each other, but also for appreciating works by the same artists, and from the wider world of art in general.
Rather than proceeding on the basis of familiar art `movements' or `-isms', Morley focuses on just twenty individual works of art, from Matisse's The Red Studio to Doris Salcedo's Untitled. Representing a variety of media, styles, subjects and intentions, being the creations of men and women of different periods and places, coming from disparate social and ethnic backgrounds, these works show a rich diversity in modern and contemporary art.
Anti-Glossy
Capturing contemporary trends and forecasting the look of the future, this dazzling anthology collects the work of the most cutting-edge photographers working today, this volume is an essential compilation of the most important photographic trends of the age of social media and digital publication.
The interaction between photography and fashion has always been compelling—how can artists balance commercial viability against their own creative vision? Anti-Glossy collects some of the most innovative photographers working in the field of fashion, exploring the way new media is influencing the direction of photography for print.
As the notion of the "fashion photographer" becomes less distinct, the industry is benefitting from the talents of artists whose influence leads the genre into a multitude of surprising, often shocking, directions. In this collection of new fashion photography, full-page color and black-and-white photographs represent an incredible range of styles and techniques.
From the evolving vision of masters of the form such as Juergen Teller and Glen Luchford, to the ironic work of Sebastian Kim, to the challenges posed by young female voices like Annemarieke Van Drimmelen, Charlotte Wales, Sarah Piantadosi, Joanna Piotrowska, and Karen Knorr, the photographers featured in this exciting collection represent a cutting-edge trend in all its diversity. Paris-based author and editor Patrick Remy has selected over twenty photographers from emerging talents that hold the prospect of creating enduring fashion images and influencing the cultural and style trends of tomorrow to established figures exploring new directions.
Kariéra s paletou
Velkým tématem moderní doby se po roce 1800 stal sám umělec, jeho postavení ve společnosti i budování jeho uměleckého sebevědomí tváří v tvář anonymnímu publiku. Svou roli sehrála nově zavedená veřejná prezentace děl na uměleckých výstavách či téma institucionalizace a reflexe uměleckého provozu. Více či méně stylizované a inscenované obrazy, jejichž prostřednictvím umělci zachycovali prosazování vlastní profese ve společnosti, zahrnují zobrazení sebevědomého tvůrce, romantickou introspekci sebe sama i oslavování a kritiku ikon uměleckého i národního společenství. Kritické analýzy různých fází a souvislostí tohoto vývoje jsou opakovaně součástí uměleckohistorického bádání, stejně tak jako jsou v hledáčku i příbuzných oborů. Kniha s texty od předních odborníků na dané období si klade za cíl uchopit toto téma z různých současných pohledů a ukázat ho v přesazích propojujících české umění s evropským kontextem.
Kniha vychází ve spolupráci se Západočeskou galerií v Plzni a Ústavem dějin umění AV ČR, v. v. i.
Future Cities: Architecture and the Imagination
Though reaching ever further toward the skies, today's cities are overshadowed by multiple threats: climate change, overpopulation, social division, and urban warfare all endanger our metropolitan way of life. The fundamental tool we use to make sense of these uncertain city futures is the imagination. Architects, artists, filmmakers, and fiction writers have long been inspired to imagine cities of the future, but their speculative visions tend to be seen very differently from scientific predictions: flights of fancy on the one hand versus practical reasoning on the other.
In a digital age when the real and the fantastic coexist as near equals, it is especially important to know how these two forces are entangled, and how together they may help us best conceive of cities yet to come. Exploring a breathtaking range of imagined cities--submerged, floating, flying, vertical, underground, ruined, and salvaged--Future Cities teases out the links between speculation and reality, arguing that there is no clear separation between the two. In the Netherlands, prototype floating cities are already being built; Dubai's recent skyscrapers resemble those of science-fiction cities of the past; while makeshift settlements built by the urban poor in the developing world are already like the dystopian cities of cyberpunk.
Bringing together architecture, fiction, film, and visual art, Paul Dobraszczyk reconnects the imaginary city with the real, proposing a future for humanity that is firmly grounded in the present and in the diverse creative practices already at our fingertips.
Sto kreseb odněkud
Jaroslav Róna není pouze autorem monumentálních soch a velkých pláten, jak jej v posledních letech vnímá veřejnost. Rád se věnuje také kresbě a ilustracím (vzpomeňme na jeho podání povídek E. A. Poea v souboru Démon zvrácenosti nebo autentický pohled do světa Orwellova románu Devatenáct set osmdesát čtyři). Tento konkrétní knižní soubor představuje Rónovy zápisky z cest, které vznikají ve chvílích autorovy relaxace a můžeme je označit třeba termínem poloautomatická kresba.
Přes jejich zdánlivou nahodilost v nich však Jaroslava Rónu poznáváme zcela bezpečně. Objevují se na nich stejně tak jeho oblíbené motivy, jako jeho specifický smysl pro humor. Rónovy kresby mnohem subtilnější než ostatní dílo jsou vhledem do autorova podvědomí, poodkrytím pomyslné pokličky nad tyglíkem jeho mysli. Vzhledem k jejich rozměrům k nim nacházíme cestu snáze než k Rónovým velkým plastikám.
Oskár Čepan a výtvarné umenie
Dvojzväzková knižná edícia sa zameriava na výtvarno-teoretické myslenie Oskára Čepana, významného teoretika a historika literatúry a výtvarného teoretika i kritika. Prvý zväzok je súborným vydaním jeho pôvodných prác o výtvarnom umení vrátane výberu z doposiaľ nepublikovanej korešpondencie. Druhý zväzok obsahuje všetky edičné súbory pripravené O. Čepanom a preložené Nadeždou Čepanovou, okrem iného aj doteraz nevydanú, počas normalizácie zošrotovanú edíciu „Tatlinova iniciatíva“. Druhý zväzok knižnej edície, ktorá vychádza v spolupráci s VŠVU, dopĺňajú historicko-teoretické štúdie zhodnocujúce neodškriepiteľný prínos Oskára Čepana do slovenskej výtvarnej kultúry a jej reflexie.
Tarkovsky - Films, Stills, Polaroids & Writings
Andrey Tarkovsky was the most important Russian filmmaker of the post-war era, and one of the world's most renowned cinematic geniuses. He directed the first five of his seven films - Ivan's Childhood, Andrei Rublev, Solaris, Mirror and Stalker - in the Soviet Union, but in 1982 defected to Italy, where he made Nostalgia. His final film, The Sacrifice, was produced in Sweden in 1985. Tarkovsky's films are characterized by metaphysical themes, extended takes, an absence of conventional dramatical structure and plot, and a dream-like, visionary style of cinematography. They achieve a spiritual intensity and transcendent beauty that many consider to be without parallel.
This book presents extended sequences of stills from each of the films alongside synopses and cast and crew listings. It includes reflections on Tarkovsky's work from fellow artists and writers including Jean-Paul Sartre and Ingmar Bergman, for whom Tarkovsky was `the greatest, the one who invented a new language.' Extracts from Tarkovsky's own writings and diaries offer a wealth of insights into his poetic and philosophical views on cinematography, which he described as `sculpting in time'. The book also reproduces many personal Polaroid photographs that confirm the extraordinary poetic vision of a great artist who died aged only 54, but who remains a potent influence on artists and filmmakers today.
Nari Ward: We the People
A critical examination of the work of one of the most significant and original sculptors and installation artists living today Jamaican-born Nari Ward is best known for his large-scale sculptures and installations, many of which are created from unexpected materials collected around his urban neighborhood. His incisive works frequently comment on issues surrounding race, poverty, consumerism, and diasporic identity in American culture. This book accompanies a major retrospective at the New Museum, highlighting his work from the early 1990s - including Amazing Grace (1993).
Self-Portrait, from Schiele to Beckmann
This visually stunning volume offers perceptive examinations of several renowned German and Austrian Expressionist artists who redefined modern self-portraiture. The self-portrait has been a vital aspect of artistic expression throughout history. Neo-Classical painters such as El Greco and Rembrandt formalized the practice, and the first half of the 20th century saw a dramatic transformation in the self-portrait's style and context, especially in the hands of the German and Austrian Expressionists. Vibrant reproductions of works by Egon Schiele, Max Beckmann, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Oskar Kokoschka, and others are accompanied by essays that explore how these artists--many of whom were classified as "degenerate" by the Nazi party--imbued their images with eloquent expressions of resistance, isolation, entrapment, and provocation. From Schiele's erotically charged and overtly physical paintings to Beckmann's emotionally fraught depictions of psychic trauma, this important examination of a powerful aspect of modern European painting brilliantly illustrates how the Expressionist self-portrait became a powerful weapon against artistic oppression.
Miloš Cvach: Není to socha!
Sochař Miloš Cvach (nar. 1945 ve Víru v okrese Žďár nad Sázavou) patří k umělcům, jejichž tvorba je v českém prostředí známa a reflektována pouze omezeně. Jednou z příčin je to, že v roce 1973 emigroval a usadil se v Paříži, kde žije dodnes. Kniha je první monografií, mapující souhrnně jeho život a dílo od figurálních prací, vzniklých na Akademii výtvarných umění v Praze, přes objekty a reliéfy, blízké minimalismu, až k současné tvorbě reliéfům, autorským knihám, kresbám, grafikám a videu.
Tate - Colour - A Visual History
Discover the story of colour through the significant scientific discoveries and key artist's works over 400 years.
From Isaac Newton's investigations through to Olafur Eliasson's experiential creations, this stunning book documents the fascinating story of colour with an extraordinary collection of original colour material that includes charts, wheels, artists' palettes, swatches and schemes.
"In 1704, the scientist Isaac Newton published Opticks, the result of many years of researching light and colour. By splitting white light, Newton identified the visible range of colours, or the rainbow spectrum. In Opticks, he built a colour system around his findings, and he visualised this system in a circular shape, making it one of the first printed colour wheels.
The influence of Newton and his followers, combined with the invention of many new pigments as well as watercolours in moist cake form, had made painting with colour an exciting occupation not just for serious artists but also for a much wider audience. The colour revolution had begun."
