Japan Art Revolution


A unique survey of the explosion of avant-garde art in 1960s Japan. We've all heard of Paris 1968, but in Japan, a movement just as revolutionary, interesting and enduring was underway. The turbulent times of the post-war era inspired an artistic explosion in the country, with the emergence of a revolutionary scene of avant-garde artists who pioneered many disciplines: experimental and erotic photography, 'Angura' theatre and underground street performances, apocalyptic Butoh dance, surreal illustrations and seminal graphic design. Taking design cues from Japanese luminaries Yokoo Tadanori and Awazu Kiyoshi, Japan Art Revolution features over 600 captivating artworks, encompassing photographs, film stills, theatre posters and illustrations by visionary artists including Moriyama Daido, Hosoe Eiko, Araki Nobuyoshi, Ishiuchi Miyako, Tanaami Keiichi, Yokoo Tadanori, Hijikata Tatsumi, Ohno Kazuo, Terayama Shuji, Tenjo, Sajiki, Kawada Kikuji, Neo-Dada Organizers, Hi-Red Center, Awazu Kiyoshi, Hanaga Mitsutoshi, Nakahira Takuma and Tanabe Santaro. Drawing on extensive interviews with these iconic artists, this comprehensive book offers readers a nuanced understanding of the thriving world of Japanese avant-garde art, complemented by insightful texts from esteemed experts, curators, academics and archivists. Japanese photobooks from this period are rare and expensive, so this book serves not only as a visual delight but also as an invaluable resource for scholars, art enthusiasts and those eager to discover the pioneers of Japanese avant garde.

Performance Art


An updated edition of the pioneering study in the acclaimed World of Art series, this classic book surveys a full century of performance art, from the Futurist manifesto of 1909 through the second decade of the new millennium. Performance Art is a pioneering history of one of the most important art forms to emerge in modern times. Now in its fourth edition, it has been completely updated to reflect on performance in an age where digital technologies are increasingly dominant, and where live art stands out as an antidote to the overwhelming effects of our media world. Renowned art historian and curator RoseLee Goldberg explains the worldwide phenomenon of performance art, and outlines developments in the medium up to and within the second decade of the twenty-first century. The astonishing increase in the number of works testifies to the significance of the medium for new generations of artists entering the global conversation of art and culture and for articulating ‘difference’. Matthew Barney, Tania Bruguera, Nikhil Chopra, Nicholas Hlobo, Zhang Huan, Anne Imhof and Rashid Johnson are among the many artists whose work can now be seen in the context of innovators in the field, from the Futurists and Dadaists to Yves Klein, Marina Abramovic and Laurie Anderson.

Art Work


The much-anticipated new book by artist and New York Times bestselling author Sally Mann about the challenges and transcendent pleasures of the creative process Art Work, by photographer and writer Sally Mann, offers a spellbinding mix of wild and illuminating stories, practical (and some impractical) advice, and life lessons for artists and writers-or anyone interested in the creative path. Written in the same frank, fearless, and occasionally outrageous tone of her bestselling memoir, Hold Still, this new book reaffirms Mann as a unique and resonant voice for our times and is destined to become a classic. Illustrated throughout with photographs, journal entries, and letters that bring immediacy and poignancy to the narrative, Art Work is full of thought-provoking insights about the hazards of early promise; the unpredictable role of luck; the value of work, work, work, and more hard work; the challenges of rejection and distraction; the importance of risk-taking; and the rewards of knowing why and when you say yes. In sparkling prose and thoughtfully juxtaposed visuals and ephemera, Art Work is a generous, provocative, and compulsively readable exploration of creativity by one of our most original thinkers.

Roger Ballen – Spirits and Spaces


The first monograph to present Roger Ballen's work in colour: a visual revelation that remains grounded in the chaotic, absurd psychological space of the Ballenesque. Having previously expressed no interest in colour photography, Roger Ballen was inspired to engage with the medium after receiving a Leica SL camera as a gift in 2016. Opening up to the potential of colour in his work, Ballen used light in creative ways, exploring new avenues of experimentation. Spirits and Spaces eloquently captures the absurd and bizarre world of Roger Ballen, where animals and Art Brut-like drawings dominate, and humanity is reduced to obscure figures or fragmented body parts. The new colour images in Spirits and Spaces, created in conjunction with Ballen's artistic director, Marguerite Rossouw, were produced in a claustrophobic space, constructed of worn, wallpapered wooden panels and with minimalistic lighting. Here, in this dense, oppressive environment, Ballen creates what might be seen by many as a world that is unexplainable in words: one in which absurdity, chaos, comedy and tragedy apparently exist side by side. Both a visual revelation and an artistic evolution by one of contemporary photography's most unique voices, Spirits and Spaces is an essential and much anticipated photobook for all Roger Ballen fans.

Abstract Art: A Global History


Now available in paperback, this is a radically new approach to the understanding of abstract art, expanded to include sixteen new contemporary artists from six continents, and an emphasis on textile as abstract. In his fresh take on abstract art, now available in paperback and expanded to include sixteen new contemporary artists from six continents, noted art historian Pepe Karmel chronicles the movement from a global perspective, while embedding abstraction in a recognizable reality. Moving beyond the canonical terrain of abstract art, the author demonstrates how artists from around the world have used abstract imagery to express social, cultural and spiritual experience. Karmel builds this fresh approach to abstract art around five inclusive themes: body, landscape, cosmology, architecture and man--made signs and patterns. In the process, this history develops a series of narratives that go far beyond the established figures and movements traditionally associated with abstract art. Each narrative is complemented by a number of featured abstract works, arranged in thought--provoking pairings with accompanying extended captions that provide an in--depth analysis. This wide--ranging examination incorporates work from Asia, Australia, Africa and South America, as well as Europe and North America, through artists ranging from Wu Guanzhong, Joan Miró and Jackson Pollock to Hilma af Klint and Odili Donald Odita. Breaking new ground, Karmel has forged a new history of this key art movement.

A celebration of creative freedom, storytelling without limits, and the enduring power of animation.

Giotto. Fresky v Aréne.


Prelomové metodologické dielo významného nemeckého historika umenia Maxa Imdahla, ktorého slovenský preklad vychádza k 100. výročiu jeho narodenia. V sprievodnej štúdii o ňom píše Marian Zervan: „Imdahlov výklad možno chápať aj tak, že ním navrhovaná ontológia obrazu je schopná si poradiť s predmetným i nepredmetným maliarstvom, no zároveň aj tak, že nám chce ukázať celú šírku vnútorne sa diferencujúceho ikonického prístupu. Tu niekde treba vidieť zárodok Imdahlovho rozlišovania medzi a) znovurozpoznávajúcim videním a b) vidiacim videním v zmysle a) videnia orientovaného na každodenné veci a bytosti, teda diela-veci, ale aj v obraze spredmetnené texty a veci vrátane diel-vecí a b) videnia reflektujúceho buď to, čo práve vidíme, ale z iného aspektu, alebo to, čo sme doposiaľ ešte nevideli a čo je možno dokonca neviditeľné, či presnejšie videnie zamerané na vznikajúcu a dejúcu sa obraznosť, ktorá obnovuje našu schopnosť vidieť z rôznych aspektov a ukazovať ako sa dá vidieť aj nevidené a neviditeľné. A práve to podľa Imdahla dokáže maliarstvo a výtvarné umenie vôbec.“ Preložili Ladislav Tkáčik a Marian Zervan.

Významy krajiny


John Sallis vo svojej knihe Významy krajiny, ktorá sa venuje stvárneniu krajiny v maliarstve, vychádza z tvrdenia, že zem je základným elementom, ktorý poskytuje ľuďom i ostatným živým bytostiam útočisko a čitateľom predkladá pôsobivé syntetické dielo. Významy krajiny ponúkajú tri druhy analýz, ktoré sú síce odlišné, ale priebežne sa neustále prelínajú. Prvá pozostáva z rozsiahlych analýz charakteristických krajín štyroch exemplárnych maliarov, Paula Cézanna, Caspara Davida Friedricha, Paula Kleeho a Guo Xiho. Sallis sa následne obracia k vlastným spisom týchto umelcov – traktátom, esejam a listom – o umení vo všeobecnosti a krajinomaľbe zvlášť, a zasadzuje ich do filozofického kontextu. Tretí druh analýz čerpá ako z teoretických textov samotného autora, tak aj z kanonických textov filozofie umenia (Kant, Schelling, Hegel a Heidegger). Ide o analýzy, ktoré čitateľovi ponúkajú prehĺbenie porozumenia pre krajinu ako pozemský príbytok človeka i pre krajinomaľbu, ktorá v súčasnom umení zažíva istú renesanciu. Súčasťou knihy je aj 32 diskutovaných farebných reprodukcií. Preložil Ladislav Tkáčik.

Genius loci, 3. vydání


Christian Norberg-Schulz, světově proslulý norský historik a teoretik architektury ve své nejznámější knize s úctyhodným fotografickým doprovodem poodhaluje podmínky a příčiny umístění, vzniku i podob měst na základě analýzy celého systému okolností, které staletý vývoj městského organismu provázejí. Nevyhýbá se přitom ani filozofickým a etickým otázkám, které jsou s městy jako lidskými sídlišti spjaty. Svá teoretická východiska dokazuje na analýze tří rozdílných měst: Říma, Prahy a Chartúmu. Zavádí klasifikaci krajin, architektury a měst – Řím je prototypem města klasického, Praha romantického a Chartúm kosmického. Kniha byla přeložena do mnoha jazyků a stále vychází po celém světě.

Dior By Yuriko Takagi


An important addition to the library of leading artistic photographers working to interpret the fashion house s oeuvre. Takagi is an icon of Japanese fashion photography, with an artistic practice including painting and drawing. Her enchanting and otherworldly images are built with a unique and careful consideration of shadows, the result of a career-long contemplation of natural light a theme that plays a pivotal role in her work for Dior. This book features exclusive shootings by Takagi of the most emblematic Dior haute couture designs. Takagi delivers her personal reinterpretation of the essence of Dior, opening a profound dialogue between her artistic conception and the codes of the House. Her photographs capture an ephemeral, intangible quality of the subjects, and her signature technique of layering images, in this case of flowers and architectural motifs over toiles of dresses and models, creates a dreamlike atmosphere. The result is a collection of great poetry, a surrealist promenade through Dior s eras, and a unique observation of the inventiveness of the House over the decades.

The Star Wars Archives. 1999–2005


From the moment Star Wars burst onto the screen in 1977, audiences have been in equal parts fascinated and appalled by the half-man/half-machine hybrid Darth Vader. In 1999, creator George Lucas began the story of how Anakin Skywalker grew up to train as a Jedi under Obi-Wan Kenobi, found love with the Queen of Naboo, Padmé Amidala, before turning to the dark side of his nature and becoming more machine than man. After driving the development of nascent digital technology, George Lucas perceived how he could create new creatures and new worlds on a grander scale than ever before. He created the first digital blockbuster, and met fierce resistance when he pushed for widespread digital cameras, sets, characters, and projection – all of which are now used throughout the industry. He essentially popularized the modern way of making movies. Made with the full cooperation of George Lucas and Lucasfilm, this second volume covers the making of the prequel trilogy — Episode I The Phantom Menace, Episode II Attack of the Clones, and Episode III Revenge of the Sith — and features exclusive interviews with Lucas and his collaborators. The book is profusely illustrated with script pages, production documents, concept art, storyboards, on-set photography, stills, and posters.

Prvky výtvarného umění


Umění může být fascinující i frustrující zároveň. Jediné dílo může mít více významů a je mnoho způsobů, jak mu porozumět, interpretovat ho a ocenit. Kniha dekonstruuje velká umělecká díla na deset jednoduchých prvků, které vám to umožní, naučí vás analyzovat a umění lépe rozumět. Pomáhá odpovědět na některé z těch zjevných, ale i záludnějších otázek jako „Jak to dělá Yayoi Kusama, že vytváří pocit nekonečna?“ nebo „Proč je Van Goghova Hvězdná noc tak hustě pomalovaná?“ Ať už studujete umění, nebo se o něj jen letmo zajímáte, porozumění tomu, jak ho číst, je užitečné i nezbytné.
