Walter Gropius - Visionary Founder of the Bauhaus
*BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK *
*Illustrated with over 130 colour photographs and drawings*
In her majestic biography of Walter Gropius, charismatic founder of the Bauhaus, Fiona MacCarthy argues that his visionary ideas still influence the way we live, work, and think today.
'An absolute triumph.' Edmund de Waal, bestselling author of The Hare with Amber Eyes
'Moving and vivid ... Hard to beat.' Rowan Moore, Observer
'Commanding, intelligent, gripping.' Laura Freeman, Times
Mention the Bauhaus and iconic objects such as a Marianne Brandt teapot, an Anni Albers weaving or a Marcel Breuer chair leap to mind. But the Bauhaus was more than an art school - it was the birth of a radical new philosophy of design: a constellation of talents including Kandinsky, Klee and Moholy-Nagy, at the heart of which was Walter Gropius.
Celebrated biographer Fiona MacCarthy grippingly narrates the story of the ground-breaking architect's life beginning with his shattering experiences in World War One before his turbulent marriage to the notorious Alma Mahler and the tragic death of their daughter. After Gropius' agonized decision to leave Nazi Germany in 1933, she explores his life in exile by tracing how a disorientating period in London evolved into a peaceful marriage with Ise Gropius, and his late starring role in twentieth-century architecture in America.
Challenging views of Gropius as a doctrinaire modernist, MacCarthy's modern reassessment of Gropius' interior life is biography at its finest: insightful, witty, and gloriously three-dimensional.
Eamonn Doyle: Made In Dublin
Focused on D1, Dublin's city centre, Eamonn Doyle's three major bodies of work, `i', `On' and `End' - with new and previously unpublished images brought together here for the first time - tell the tale of today's Dublin and, in doing so, tell a broader story of today's Ireland. Setting aside the nostalgia and cliche so often seen in `stories of Ireland', Doyle's vernacular photography is a thrill to the system, revealing the extraordinary within the ordinary to paint a striking portrait of a modern and multicultural capital city. Vivified in colour, the commonplace is seen anew, the everyday made epic as the city's inhabitants appear in stark, graphic black and white going about their daily business. Far from pedestrian, Doyle's work is the archetype of good street photography: real life brought to life through the lens and voice of the street.
Punctuating the photography with specially commissioned narratives is the distinctive voice of Kevin Barry, evoking the world beyond the frame: the sights, smells, sounds and sensations of a Dubliner's daily life. Designed by Doyle's longtime collaborator Niall Sweeney, fusing contemporary Irish word and contemporary Irish image, Made in Dublin is one of the most exciting and original books of street photography in recent years.
The Life of Leonardo da Vinci
Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Most Famous Painters, Sculptors and Architects (1550 and 1569) is a classic of cultural history. A monumental assembly of artists' lives from Giotto to Michelangelo, it paints a vivid picture of the progress of art in the hands of individual masters. No Life is more vivid than that of Leonardo, a near-contemporary of Vasari - not even Vasari's account of Michelangelo, whom he knew and idolized.
This beautiful edition offers a literary translation that respects the 16th-century Italian, transposing Vasari's vocabulary into its modern equivalent. Martin Kemp is an eminent scholar, who has written on the vocabulary of Renaissance writings on art, and has co-translated Leonardo on Painting and Leonardo's Codex Leicester. Translated in partnership with Lucy Russell, the text will be the first to cover both the 1550 edition and the expanded version of 1568, and the first to integrate the texts of the two editions on the page.
Discreet endnotes will provide succinct comments in the light of modern knowledge of Leonardo's career. Illustrated with all the works of art discussed by Vasari and a selection of Leonardo's studies of science and technology, this will be the perfect accompaniment to Leonardo's 500th anniversary celebrations.
Design Thread
Kit Kemp is back with another colourful and exciting interiors book that showcases her unique approach to design.
For over 20 years, Kit Kemp has been at the forefront of the international design community, developing a signature style which mixes contemporary works of art by both well-known artists and unknowns -- all of whom paint with soul as much as skill -- with Kit's own furniture designs, antiques and junk shop finds. All of this is set against a layered backdrop of luxurious fabrics, bespoke wallpapers and hand-finished detailing which creates instant impact. In Design Thread, Kit shares the inspiration behind her creative process: whether it's a house in the country or a city pied-a-terre, a hotel suite or beach bar, her unique eye for design shines through. Kit considers every element of her interiors in detail, each one treated as a work of art in its own right, with an emphasis on creating personal, authentic, handcrafted spaces which capture the imagination and stand the test of time.
Alongside the stunning images of room sets and detailed close-ups, from her hotels to her private residences, there will be great insight into the inspirations behind Kit's work, including her design collaborations.
Dramaturg
Tato kniha je druhým svazkem souboru představujícího autorskou, dramaturgickou, teoretickou a pedagogickou tvorbu Jana Vedrala. Navazuje na svazek DramaTIK. Je výborem dramaturgických esejí, studií a statí, jimiž autor doprovázel od osmdesátých let dvacátého století svou dramaturgickou, autorskou a pedagogickou praxi. Autor vychází z přesvědčení, že vedle praktické dramaturgie je součástí profese dramaturga také teoretická činnost, spjatá zejména s možnostmi a vývojem dramatu, scény a společenských kontextů divadelní tvorby. Tato teoretická dramaturgie není v přísném slova smyslu činností vědeckou, je totiž vždy vztažena a poměřována konkrétní scénickou praxí a je zpravidla také vyvolána jejími potřebami a nároky. To, do jaké míry jsou české divadlo a jeho dramaturgie spojené se společenským vývojem, analyzuje Jan Vedral na proměnách českého divadla a společnosti za období uplynulých čtyřiceti let.
Bauhaus
In a fleeting 14-year period between two world wars, Germany's Bauhaus school of art and design changed the face of modernity. With utopian ideas for the future, the school developed a pioneering fusion of fine art, craftsmanship, and technology, which they applied across media and practices from film to theater, and sculpture to ceramics.
This best-selling reference work is made in collaboration with the Bauhaus-Archiv/Museum fur Gestaltung in Berlin, the world's largest collection on the history of the Bauhaus. Some 575 illustrations including architectural plans, studies, photographs, sketches, and models record not only the realized works but also the leading principles and personalities of this idealistic creative community through its three successive locations in Weimar, Dessau, and Berlin. From informal shots of group gymnastics to drawings guided by Paul Klee, from extensive architectural plans to an infinitely sleek ashtray by Marianne Brandt, the collection brims with the colors, materials, and geometries that made up the Bauhaus vision of a "total" work of art.
As we approach the Bauhaus centennial, this is a defining account of its energy and rigor, not only as a trailblazing movement in Modernism but also as a paradigm of art education, where creative expression and cutting-edge ideas led to simultaneously functional and beautiful creations. The handy edition features artists Josef Albers, Marianne Brandt, Walter Gropius, Gertrud Grunow, Paul Klee, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Lilly Reich, and many more.

Petra Šimková - Šestý smysl
Krutoněžné foto-autoportréty Petry Šimkové vznikají jako forma jejího intimního deníku, kdy řečí těla výmluvně zobrazuje své pocity, touhy a předtuchy. Vlastní akty snímané dlouhou expozicí následně metodou digitální fotomontáže kombinuje s fotografiemi přírodních struktur a městských prostorů, které pořídila na dvou pro ni osudových místech na tropickém ostrově Bali a v Praze. Estetiku i dynamiku jejích foto-obrazů zásadně ovlivňuje techno, jež pro ni znamená mnohem víc než pouhou hudební inspiraci.
Japan in Miniature - A Gift of Inro, Ojime und Netsuke
The private collection of 80 inro, ojime and netsuke presented here was donated to the Museum for Lacquer Art in 2017. The wealth of objects reproduces plants and animals with symbolic significance, literary subjects, historical scenes and famous landscape scenarios - and thus presents an image of Japan in miniature.
An inro, meaning "seal container" in English, is a small, flat stackable box which a Japanese man in a kimono could carry on the silk belt slung around his hips. This gem was invented in the late sixteenth century, and before long numerous workshops were specialised in its production. The donation of a private collector to the Museum for Lacquer Art includes 80 inro with a variety of decorative techniques and shows a wide range of artistically designed motifs. This new acquisition of astounding quality and diversity has been knowledgeably compiled in this inventory catalogue by Heinz and Else Kress.

Cow A Tribute
"For thousands of years, they have crossed continents with us, traversed mountain ranges and seas with us: our loyal, ever-devoted and supportive fellow travelers. We should be bound by affection for our close companion, the cow." Werner Lampert
"It will take eons of love to repay animals for their services and generosity to us."
With this quote from Christian Morgenstern, leading sustainability expert and organic entrepreneur Werner Lampert adorns his illustrated book, The Cow: A Tribute, a project very dear to his heart. Lampert developed a passion for cattle from an early age. Again and again, he was drawn to the pastures of his native Austria to admire these dignified, gentle animals and their calming effect. With its rich photography, this evocative book pays tribute to the soulfulness of cattle and the special bond between man and cow, much threatened in our age of industrial-scale farming. Around the world, Lampert and his team of select photographers have tracked down the most beautiful, rare cattle, capturing them in their natural and often spectacular surroundings with empathy and respect. A touching testimony to a much-loved animal, the gorgeous images in The Cow: A Tribute are rounded out with profound, at times poetic, texts; informative facts and history about different cattle breeds; and entertaining anecdotes.
Dílo Jana Koblasy v kostele Sv. Petra a Pavla v Jedovnicích
Kniha se věnuje přestavbě interiéru kostela sv. Petra a Pavla v Jedovnicích u Brna. Zabývá se zejména účastí Jana Koblasy na modernizaci presbytáře (oltářního prostoru) kostela. Hlavní část úpravy tamního oltářního prostoru probíhala v první polovině šedesátých let dvacátého století a spolu s Koblasou se na ní podíleli také další umělci, jež dnes řadíme mezi přední výtvarníky své doby: Mikuláš Medek, Karel Nepraš a Josef Istler. Koblasův podíl je však zdaleka nejrozsáhlejší. Navzdory tomu, že v dnešní době již výraznou měrou přibylo moderního projevu v sakrálním prostoru, patří jedovnická úprava presbytáře mezi ty nejhodnotnější. Je výjimečná nejen svou povahou, ale také specifická dobou a místem svého vzniku. Vyniká jak v kontextu českého a evropského umění, tak v kontextu Koblasovy tvorby.
Svým obsahem i použitými formálními prvky patří jedovnický presbytář k nejpozoruhodnějším ukázkám ars sacra v Evropě. Knihu doprovází fotografie.

Villanycigány - minden, vagy legalább amire emlékszem
"Senki, de tényleg senki nem venné kezébe ezt a könyvet, ha nem lennék véletlenül tagja annak a bizonyos zenekarnak" - állítja Christian Lorenz, azaz Flake, a Rammstein billentyűse első könyvéről, ami egyszerre az NDK mindennapjairól és zenei undergroundjáról szóló kordokumentum, fiatalkori visszaemlékezés és zenekarok története. A mű Németországban közel öt hónapig szerepelt a Der Spiegel bestsellerlistáján, első kiadása két hét alatt elfogyott.
A könyv eredeti címe, a Der Tastenficker (szó szerinti fordításban billentyűbasztató) a néhai NDK-ban egy szál szintetizátorral "vendéglátózó" zenészek gúnyneve volt. Ennek körülbelüli magyar megfelelője a villanycigány, ami egyszerre jelölheti a hangszert és a rajta játszó embert. (Köszönjük a címötletet Nagy Andornak, a Shockmagazin.hu munkatársának!)
Electric Eden
Rob Young investigates how the idea of folk has been handed down and transformed by successive generations - song collectors, composers, Marxist revivalists, folk-rockers, psychedelic voyagers, free festival-goers, experimental pop stars and electronic innovators.
In a sweeping panorama of Albion's soundscape that takes in the pioneer spirit of Cecil Sharp; the pastoral classicism of Ralph Vaughan Williams and Peter Warlock; the industrial folk revival of Ewan MacColl and A. L. Lloyd; the folk-rock of Fairport Convention, Sandy Denny, Nick Drake, Shirley Collins, John Martyn and Pentangle; the bucolic psychedelia of The Incredible String Band, The Beatles and Pink Floyd; the acid folk of Comus, Forest, Mr Fox and Trees; The Wicker Man and occult folklore; the early Glastonbury and Stonehenge festivals; and the visionary pop of Kate Bush, Julian Cope and Talk Talk, Electric Eden maps out a native British musical voice that reflects the complex relationships between town and country, progress and nostalgia, radicalism and conservatism.
An attempt to isolate the 'Britishness' of British music - a wild combination of pagan echoes, spiritual quest, imaginative time-travel, pastoral innocence and electrified creativity - Electric Eden will be treasured by anyone interested in the tangled story of Britain's folk music and Arcadian dreams.

To Don`t List Project Planning for Creative People
How do you decide what you will do today - and what you won't do? There simply isn't time to realise every brilliant idea and to execute every little task. And as we cannot create extra time, we need to make choices. The To Don't List is a notebook and planner that helps you make those choices, whether they concern your daily tasks, your new projects or even your professional or creative life. It gives you the gift of simplicity: Just make a list for your life/work/project/year/month/day and throw out everything after the 3rd item. It will give you time and focus. The author used the To Don't List concept a lot in his studio while brainstorming, developing new ideas or working on projects: "That's a good idea, but let's put it on the To Don't List for now." In that way, he kept his focus on his goals. The To Don't List concept became a method, and the method became the inspiration for writing Don't Read This Book. Like the Don't/Do This - Game, the To Don't List is an addition to the ToDon't--Family.
Idols - The Power of Images
With Idols, Annie Caubet, archaeologist and Curator Emeritus of the Louvre, takes readers on an aesthetic journey across time and space. Caubet surveys the beginnings of human figurative imagery from 4000-2000 BCE, as the Neolithic Era's ambiguous three-dimensional figures developed and spread across the world, from the Iberian peninsula to the Indus Valley, from the gates of the Atlantic to the confines of the Far East. Caubet's book traces an artistic revolution that would shape the rest of human history, as the idol (from the Greek eidolon, or image) evolved to represent and express power, myth and belief in the human form.
Idols climbs mountains, treks through steppes and deserts and braves oceans and seas to reveal networks of connections, a commonality of perception and contacts between remote lands at the dawn of anthropomorphic figurative culture.
