Space Maker


Katalog k výstavě Galerie Rudolfinum Petr Písařík SPACE MAKER (6. 9. 2018 25. 11. 2018) předkládá zatím nejreprezentativnější výběr z tvorby jednoho z nejobtížněji zařaditelných českých umělců, který své kritické uvažování prezentuje primárně skrze materiál, barvu, tvar a kompozici. Na více než sto stranách bohatě obrazové vyvedené publikace obsahuje texty kurátora výstavy Davida Koreckého a kritika umění Marka Pokorného. Výsledná krása, ohromující technická vynalézavost, brilantní forma a často až dojímající či ochromující nádhera jednotlivých řešení, to všechno jsou důvody, proč nám nedochází, že z trosek moderní civilizace a jejího umění v díle Petra Písaříka znovu a znovu vzniká něco mezi pomníkem a uskutečňovanou utopií, charakterizuje umělcovu tvorbu ve svém textu Bez lešení čili Několik postřehů k dílu Petra Písaříka kritik umění Marek Pokorný. Dílo Petra Písaříka je spojeno především s přechodem od postmoderny osmdesátých let k nejisté situaci a jiné citlivosti poloviny devadesátých let minulého století. Spolu s dalšími členy skupiny Pondělí autor ustavoval nejen novou představu o roli umělce v období přechodu od normalizačního socialismu ke křehkému a iluzornímu liberálnímu společenskému konsenzu, ale také možnost exponovat s touto transpozicí spojené téma umělecké praxe, tedy jaká je možnost v podmínkách rozvrácených a diskreditovaných diskurzů vrátit do hry intimní (osobní, politickou či sociální) zkušenost se světem prostřednictvím individuálních tvůrčích strategií a obsesí. Jeho tvorba už tehdy měla povahu předem prohraného afirmativního úsilí zaměřeného na absorbování znaků a fantómů společnosti vyrovnávající se se snem o konci dějin, uvádí Marek Pokorný. The Petr Písařík SPACE MAKER (6 September 2018 25 November 2018) exhibition catalogue offers a representative selection of works by one of those Czech artists who are very hard to pigeonhole. Písařík presents his critical thinking primarily through material, colour, shape and composition. Over a one hundred page publication is full of images and includes also texts by David Korecký, the exhibition curator and Marek Pokorný, an art critic. The beauty, impressive technical ingenuity, brilliant form and often touching, on the verge of paralyzing beauty of his solutions these are all reasons why we do not realize that, on the ruins of our modern civilization and its art, Petr Písařík creates again and again something between a memorial and utopia in progress, writes the art critic Marek Pokorný in his paper Bez lešení čili Několik postřehů k dílu Petra Písaříka (No Scaffolds or Several Observations on Petr Písaříks Art).

Greening in Style


Interior design projects for residential spaces where plants are part of the basic design, adding personality and life to the decor and counteracting the negative effects of city living. There is much more to interiors filled with plants than meets the eye. Plant arrangements can be seen as an inexpensive way to decorate a home, but in fact, the use of plants in interior design has benefits that are often overlooked. Plants add dimension to interiors and make them feel lively. They strengthen the connection with nature and reflect an appreciation of the botanical world. They improve air quality and regulate temperature and humidity levels. Plants also have positive effects on people's moods and health, reducing stress, promoting creativity, productivity and wellbeing. This book includes interior design projects for residential spaces, such as apartments, single-family houses, penthouses, and lofts in urban and rural environments. It focuses on modern interiors, where plants are part of the design, giving the home an organic touch. From interior courtyards to small balconies and through simple but graceful arrangements of potted plants, the projects offer inspirational ideas to all those who want to fill their homes with plants and add personality to their decor.

Robert Doisneau: Music


Previously unpublished photographs and iconic portraits of musicians from the 1950s through the 1980s offer a new perspective on Doisneau's remarkable talent. Master photographer Robert Doisneau's passion for the joyful energy inherent in the music world comes alive in images that cover the musical spectrum, from classical and jazz to be-bop to the roots of modern rap and alternative rock. With camera in hand, Doisneau crisscrossed Paris to capture intimate moments with star musicians such as Eartha Kitt in a jazz club, Django Reinhardt at home, and Yehudi Menuhin backstage, or with locals at a neighborhood dance or jamming in a brass band. His portraits were commissioned for stars from Juliette Gréco to Charles Aznavour to Claude François, and a new generation of musicians in the 1980s including Rita Mitsouko and Les Négresses Vertes. This book--curated by the photographer's granddaughter to accompany an exhibition at the Philharmonie de Paris--includes more than one hundred photographs, many previously unpublished, that showcase the artist's mastery in editing, special effects, photomontage, collage, photo distortions, and splits.

America at Work


Reforming Lens Lewis W. Hine’s images of child labor and American working life Photographer, teacher, and sociologist Lewis W. Hine (1874-1940) shaped our consciousness of American working life in the early 20th century like no other. Combining his training as an educator with his humanist concerns, Hine was one of the earliest photographers to use the camera as a documentary tool, capturing in particular labor conditions, housing, and immigrants arriving on Ellis Island. His images, including those of children in cotton mills, factories, coal mines, and fields, became icons of photographic history that helped to transform labor laws in the United States. This book brings together a representative collection of Lewis W. Hine’s photography from all periods of his work. It spans his earliest forays into social-documentary work through to his more artistic and interpretative late photographs, including his phenomenal images of the construction of the Empire State Building and his symbiotic staging of human and machine as a comment on increasing industrialization. Alongside the near 350 photographs, the book includes an essay by the editor, introducing Hine’s life and pioneering work

German Architects


This book presents thirty-two leading German architectural practices and their signature projects. Whether in the areas of housing, commercial, administrative, and public architecture or in the renovation and revitalization of existing buildings, all have one thing in common: the architects are concerned with sustainable design and reject short-lived trends. This policy manifests itself in minimalistic architecture as well as in the combination of tradition and modernity. The focus is always on a holistic solution that gives expression to an individual attitude to life. To these ends, the respective needs, passions, dreams, and desires of the clients are brought into unity with the specific location and surrounding environment, as well as the climatic and socio-cultural conditions.

Rebellisek


"Husz János, prágai egyetemi tanár szellemi mozgalma termékeny talajra talál az erdélyi parasztság körében is, annál inkább, mivel a huszitizmus nemcsak vallási, de társadalmi tekintetben is az elavult feudális rend ellen fordul. Az 1437-es erdélyi Budai Nagy Antal-féle parasztfelkelés, amelyben a kisnemesség is szerepet vállal, az akkori társadalmi ellentétek kiéleződését jelentette; számos, kisebb-nagyobb lázongás jelzi már odáig is az utat. Budai Nagy Antal parasztserege fegyveres harcban győzelmet arat a feudális urakkal vívott küzdelemben, de harca végül elbukik, mint minden felkelés, ha más, befolyásosabb társadalmi réteg nem áll az élére. Az 1437-es erdélyi parasztfelkelés idején már általánossá válik a pénzgazdálkodás. A főpapok a nekik járó tizedet, és a világi, feudális hatalmasságok a nekik járó kilencedet nagyrészt pénzben követelik a jobbágyságtól. Zsigmond király, hogy az udvar fényűző kiadásait egyensúlyban tudja tartani, a pénzrontás eszközéhez folyamodik az 1433-as esztendőben. Lépes György erdélyi püspök, arra számítván, hogy a pénz értéke később visszaáll, három évig megszünteti a papi tized beszedését."

Magyarország természeti kincsei


A mai kor embere sokkal inkább uralkodni próbál a természet felett, mintsem visszatalálni ahhoz a kapcsolódáshoz és harmóniához, mely az emberi lélek és a természet között mindig is megvolt.

Rock Graphic Originals


As part of the '60s and '70s fashion movement, Peter Golding's famous ACE boutique in London's Chelsea brought him into regular contact with the biggest names in rock 'n' roll, and he went on to create one of the most comprehensive collections of rock 'n' roll graphics in existence. Showcasing the cream of this collection, Rock Graphic Originals is packed with vibrant poster art, logos, stage set designs and promotional ephemera created for artists such as the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton, Kiss, The Who and Alice Cooper. Organized chronologically into three sections, the book presents the evolution of highly wrought psychedelic poster art from its beginnings in the Beat era to its culmination in the vast stage sets of 1980s stadium rock. Original drawings, studies, paintings, finished artwork and separated plates are shown side by side, revealing the complete process involved in creating each printed poster and logo, and giving extraordinary insight into the creative minds of design giants such as Rick Griffin, Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelley. Barry Miles's concise introduction places the key protagonists and their work within their cultural and political context, while reflections from the artists themselves lend unique perspectives on their influences and methods.

Japanese Tattoos


The intimate relationship of Japanese tattooing with the dark world of the yakuza has helped cover this form of artistic expression with an aura of mystery. But the culture of irezumi is deep and rich in meanings, shapes and motifs that have gone from color woodblock prints to being applied to the skin to beautify and protect their bearers. This book reveals the meaning and the secrets behind the most significant motifs from traditional Japanese tattooing-such as mythological and supernatural creatures, animals, Buddhist deities, flowers and historical characters-and turns this art form into a path toward personal knowledge and individual expression. Readers will discover the origin and meaning of each visual representation of the most frequent themes in this art form. Irezumi itai begins with a brief review of the history of Japanese tattoo art and then examines each subject (water, mythological animals, real animals, mythological characters, historical characters, flowers, shunga and yokai) through images and descriptive texts; it also includes a gallery of original designs by the author and a glossary.

Star Wars, Vol 1


Modern Monomyth Star Wars exploded onto our cinema screens in 1977, and the world has not been the same since. After watching depressing and cynical movies throughout the early 1970s, audiences enthusiastically embraced the positive energy of the Star Wars universe as they followed moisture farmer Luke Skywalker on his journey through galaxies, meeting extraordinary characters like mysterious hermit Obi-Wan Kenobi, space pirates Han Solo and Chewbacca, bumbling droids C-3PO and R2-D2, bold Princess Leia and the horrific Darth Vader, servant of the dark, malevolent Emperor. Writer, director, and producer George Lucas created the modern monomyth of our times, one that resonates with the child in us all. He achieved this by forming Industrial Light & Magic and developing cutting-edge special effects technology, which he combined with innovative editing techniques and a heightened sense of sound to give audiences a unique sensory cinematic experience. Made with the full cooperation of George Lucas and Lucasfilm, this first volume covers the making of the original trilogy - Episode IV: A New Hope, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi- and features an exclusive interview with Lucas. The book is profusely illustrated with script pages, production documents, concept art, storyboards, on-set photography, stills, and posters. "Love people. That's basically all Star Wars is." -- George Lucas

Mongolia


Mongolia is a project which Frederic Lagrange began in 2001 and has spanned over 15-years, during which he took 12 trips in all four seasons, covering vastly different regions of the country.
