Designed in California
This book examines California's enormous impact on contemporary design, from the counterculture of the 1960s to the tech culture of Silicon Valley. On a more expansive level, California: Designing Freedom explores the idea that California has pioneered tools of personal liberation - from LSD to surfboards and iPhones. This ambitious survey brings together political posters and portable devices, but also looks beyond hardware to explore how user interface designers in the San Francisco Bay Area are shaping some of our most common daily experiences. Californian products have influenced contemporary life across the globe to such an extent that in some ways we are all now Californians. Put simply, 'Designed in California' is the new 'Made in Italy'.
Lisa Fonsagrives
One of the most beautiful books on the history of fashion ever produced is now back in print. Swedish by birth, Parisian by inclination, and American following her 1950 marriage to Irving Penn, Lisa Fonssagrives was, for three decades, the most sought-after model of fashion photography. She posed for Man Ray, Erwin Blumenfeld, Louise Dahl- Wolfe, Norman Parkinson, Richard Avedon, for her first husband Fernand Fonssagrives, her fellow European immigrant Horst P. Horst, and, of course, her second husband Irving Penn. Compiled and arranged by fashion photographer David Seidner in 1997, the book draws upon a collection of photographs which once belonged to Lisa Fonssagrives. It is an opulently produced homage to the first supermodel in the history of fashion and a nostalgic look back on the Golden Age of fashion photography in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s.
Holbein
Renaissance presence Hans Holbein the Younger, portraitist extraordinaire Religion, Renaissance, and Reformation - these three ideologies shaped the world of 16th-century portraitist Hans Holbein the Younger (1497/98-1543), a pivotal figure of the Northern Renaissance, whose skills took him to Switzerland, Belgium, Italy, and England, and garnered patrons and subjects as prestigious as Henry VIII, Thomas More, Anne of Cleves, and Reformation advocate Thomas Cromwell. While he started out with, and maintained, a repertoire of religious works, Holbein is regarded above all as one of the greatest portraitists in Western art history. His probing eye was matched with a draftsman mastery of line and an almost supernatural ability to control details, from the textures of luxurious clothing to the ornament of a room. He combined this meticulous mimesis with an inspired amalgam of regional painterly traits, combining Flemish-style realism, late medieval German composition, and Italian formal grandeur to astonishing effect. During his time in England, Holbein became official court painter to Henry VIII, producing both reformist propaganda and royalist paintings to bolster Henry' status as monarch and as the new Supreme Head of the Church following the English Reformation. His portrait of Henry from 1537 is regarded not only as a portraiture pinnacle but also as an iconic record of this transformative monarch and the Tudor dynasty. Through this turbulent period, Holbein also produced anti-clerical woodcuts, and sketched and painted Lutheran merchants, visiting ambassadors, and Henry's notorious succession of wives. In this Basic Art introduction, we survey some of Holbein's key works from his illustrious and international career. Along the way, we discover a period as ripe with artistic innovation as with courtly drama and radical religious change, and an artist who made as much of a historical mark as the subjects he painted.
Trik čierneho kabinetu
Kapitoly o čiernom divadle pojednávajú o neobyčajnom fenoméne, ktorým bola pred polstoročím technika čierneho kabinetu. Do sveta sa rozšírila z Čiech a jej vplyv sa samozrejme odrazil aj v slovenských profesionálnych divadlách. Domáci tvorcovia mu venovali množstvo zápalu, talentu a energie. V priebehu prvých rokov očarenia novou technikou, vzniklo nemálo inscenácií úspešne rezonujúcich nielen doma, ale aj v zahraničí.
Režisér a scenárista Pavel Uher sa s odstupom času vracia k fenoménu čierneho divadla, aby ho pripomenul verejnosti nielen odbornej, ale všetkým, ktorí sa o ňom chcú aj dnes, kedy sa s jeho technikou na javiskách možno stretnúť iba výnimočne, niečo dozvedieť. Nielen ako o spochybňovanom relikte minulosti, ale aj ako o nedávnom zdroji inšpirácie súčasného animovaného divadla.
Divadelné umenie dvadsiateho storočia menilo tvár tak rýchlo, ako sa vyvíjala technika, ktorú pre svoje vyjadrenie následne využívalo. Neúprosne a dynamicky. Ak nové svetlo postupne nahradilo starý dekoračný arzenál, spôsobilo aj ďalšie premeny. Medzi jednu z nich možno počítať „objav“ divadelnej techniky vychádzajúcej z opozície svetla a tmy. O čom bude reč? O inovovanom princípe, ktorý sa v polovici minulého storočia stal divadelným pojmom.
Forbidden Erotica
From Bloomers to Bikinis A treasure trove of vintage erotic photos Sportive gentlemen, lascivious ladies: Since the earliest days of photography, people have been getting up to all manner of rannygazoo in front of the lens. This collection presents the finest highlights from the collection of New Yorker Mark Rotenberg, who began collecting antique smut after finding a stash of vintage erotic pictures in a Brooklyn dumpster and now owns a 95,000 strong collection of archive pornography dating from between 1860 and 1960. Flick through these pages and witness the fitness of our forebears as they romp, cavort, and frolic with unabashed energy and glee. From early monochromes of daringly dropped drawers and seductively waxed handlebar mustaches, to Kodachromes of cheery, twin-peaked pin-up beauties in the 1950s, this fine collection spans the sublimely sensual and the ridiculous.About the series: Bibliotheca Universalis-- Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe at an unbeatable, democratic price!Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, the name TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible, open-minded publishing.

Berlin in the 1920s
ZeitgeistThe Roaring Twenties in BerlinIt was the decade of daring Expressionist canvases, of brilliant book design, of the Bauhaus total work of art, of pioneering psychology, of drag balls, cabaret, Metropolis, and Marlene Dietrich s rising star in theater and silent film. Between the paroxysms of two world wars, Berlin in the 1920s was a carpe diem cultural heyday, replete with groundbreaking art, invention, and thought.This book immerses readers in the freewheeling spirit of the Weimar age. Through exemplary works in painting, sculpture, architecture, graphic design, photography, and film, we uncover the innovations, ideas, and precious dreams that characterized this unique cultural window. We take in the jazz bars and dance halls; the crowded kinos and flapper fashion; the advances in technology and transport; the radio towers and rumbling trams and trains; the soaring buildings; the cinematic masterworks; and the newly independent women who smoked cigarettes, wore their hair short, and earned their own money.Featured works in this vivid cultural portrait include Hannah Hoch s Journalists; Lotte Jacobi s Hands on the Typewriter; Otto Dix s Portrait of Sylvia von Harden; Peter Behrens s Project Alexanderplatz; and Josef von Sternberg s The Blue Angel, starring Dietrich as cabaret performer Lola Lola. Along the way, we explore both the utopian yearnings and the more ominous economic and political realities which fueled the era s escapist, idealistic, or reactionary masterworks. Behind the bright lights and glitter dresses, we see the inflation, factory labor, and fragile political consensus that lurked beneath this golden era and would eventually spell its savage end with the rise of National Socialism."
Rockwell
American beauty: Painting life as it would like to be An extraordinarily prolific artist, Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) produced some 4,000 paintings in his lifetime, not including a prodigious quantity of commissioned editorial, commercial, and advertising work. His death in 1978 was regarded the loss of a national icon, an artist who, like no other, celebrated the American Dream. Shunning experimentation and avant-garde techniques in favor of effective composition and relatable subject matter, Rockwell created wholesome, homely paintings with accessible and aspirational appeal. Neat, quaint, and typically jovial, his subjects included classrooms, prom scenes, and Thanksgiving feasts, while his most long-standing projects were covers for The Saturday Evening Post magazine and calendars and covers for the Boys' Life publication of the Boy Scouts of America. Imbued with optimism and patriotism, the work foregrounds classic professions such as doctor and teacher, as much as the conservative stalwarts of military, family, and faith. Hailed by President Gerald Ford as a "beloved part of the American tradition," Rockwell's works reveal as much about his own talents as they do about the story of 20th-century America. This fresh artist introduction from TASCHEN brings together key paintings and illustrations from his celebratory and sunny portfolio, as well as some more unusual works tackling the underside of the United States, to understand an integrally American artist, and the values and ideals that shaped his success. About the series: Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions
Ze svobody do svobody
Knížka mapuje množstvím barevných obrázků i textem různé události a i běžný život od ledna 1948 do prosince 1989.
Městečko Rusice byste hledali marně, a přesto jste v něm buď vy sami, nebo alespoň vaši rodiče kdysi žili. Rusice jsou barevnou a barvitou vzpomínkou na totalitní časy, jak ji zachytil výtvarník Václav Roháč. Jeho vzpomínání je trochu vážné, více úsměvné, ale především nostalgické, jak už to u vybavování si zašlých dějů bývá.
Mimořádnou pozornost věnoval pečlivé drobnokresbě dobových reálií, záležet si dal zejména na zachycení vývoje automobilů a jiné dopravní techniky.
The Photographer's Eye Remastered 10th Anniversary
Design is the single most important factor in creating a successful photograph. The ability to see the potential for a strong picture and then organize the graphic elements into an effective, compelling composition has always been one of the key skills in making photographs. Of course, digital photography has brought a new, exciting aspect to design first because the instant feedback from a digital camera allows immediate appraisal and improvement; and second because image-editing tools make it possible to alter and enhance the design after the shutter has been pressed. This has had a profound effect on the way digital photographers take pictures. The Photographers Eye shows how anyone can develop an eye for seeing great digital photos. The book explores all the traditional approaches to composition and design, but crucially, it also addresses the new digital technique of shooting in the knowledge that a picture will later be edited, manipulated, or montaged to result in a final image that may be very different from the one seen in the viewfinder.
Nostalgic Journeys
Relax by the ocean or head to the mountains? This vacation planning debate-starter is actually a fairly recent invention. To people of an earlier era, both options seemed unappealing and nearly impossible to visit. It wasn't until railroads came along that remote areas became accessible, making travel agency founder, Thomas Cook, the inventor of modern tourism as well. Fishing villages turned into swanky beach resorts, out-of-the-way mountain hamlets became hot destinations for hikers and skiers, and humble inns blossomed into grand hotels. Nostalgic Journeys takes you on an unforgettable trip through the last two centuries; ride the Orient Express to the Middle East, cross the Atlantic on an enormous steamship, follow Route 66 through the USA, or break through the sound barrier on the Concorde. Paging through this volume will remind you that traveling was and can be more than just sitting in traffic or enduring security checks. Travel can also be a stylish and sometimes adventurous way to experience the world and return home forever changed by exotic sights and sounds. Bon voyage!
Make Your Mind Up
When Bethany first propped her camera on a stack of books and pressed record in 2009, she didn't realise her life was about to change-forever. After uploading her first video to YouTube at just thirteen years old, Bethany quickly became one of the Internet's go-to beauty, style, and lifestyle vlogger. Since then, she has filmed countless room tours and tutorials, travelled the world, experimented with hundreds of DIYs, designed her own clothing line, gone on an international tour, competed on Dancing with the Stars, and created health, beauty, and wellness content for multiple platforms. But before Bethany found her #MotaFam online, life wasn't looking so great: After being intensely bullied in school, the already shy Bethany retreated further into her shell, suffering from crippling anxiety and a lack of self-confidence she just couldn't shake. From growing up on a dairy farm in small-town Los Banos, California, to figuring out how to overcome anxiety and find her voice, to finally breaking out of her shell and learning to forge her own positive path, Make Your Mind Up is more than just a heartwarming memoir or lifestyle guide-this is a portrait of Bethany's life, exactly how she lives it.
Koh-I-Noor
The first comprehensive and authoritative history of the Koh-i Noor, arguably the most celebrated and mythologised jewel in the world. On 29 March 1849, the ten-year-old Maharajah of the Punjab was ushered into the magnificent Mirrored Hall at the centre of the great Fort in Lahore. There, in a public ceremony, the frightened but dignified child handed over to the British East India Company in a formal Act of Submission to Queen Victoria not only swathes of the richest land in India, but also arguably the single most valuable object in the subcontinent: the celebrated Koh-i Noor diamond. The Mountain of Light. The history of the Koh-i-Noor that was then commissioned by the British may have been one woven together from gossip of Delhi Bazaars, but it was to be become the accepted version. Only now is it finally challenged, freeing the diamond from the fog of mythology which has clung to it for so long. The resulting history is one of greed, murder, torture, colonialism and appropriation through an impressive slice of south and central Asian history. It ends with the jewel in its current controversial setting: in the crown of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Masterly, powerful and erudite, this is history at its most compelling and invigorating.

The Age of Glamour
Art Deco designs encompass a huge range of styles, techniques and media. Spanning the boom of the roaring 1920s and bust of the 1930s, Art Deco simultaneously drew on traditional designs and techniques and embraced the modern, mechanized world. The Age of Glamour showcases the breadth of Art Deco design, from abstract Modernist designs to intricate patterns and fashion plates. An introduction to Art Deco and its characteristic features is followed by full-colour reproductions of the original designs interpersed among line drawings for colouring in. Thumbnails at the end of the book identify all the designs. Art Deco remains enduringly popular for its eclecticism, vibrant colours and bold use of line and shape. The designs are a rich source of inspiration and have influenced countless artists and designers. The Age of Glamour encourages you to experiment with the designs and complete them in the colours that inspire you.
Akce - Action
Výpravná kniha vůbec poprvé představuje práci brněnského performera a konceptuálního umělce Vladimíra Ambroze. V sedmdesátých letech minulého století chtěl dát svému životu naléhavější smysl a současně reflektovat pokřivenou dobu. Proto po celý den sledoval nesnesitelný program tehdejší televize, sám sebe na ulici zaparkoval jako automobil, nebo vyrazil do města se zrcadlem v rukách a nastavoval je všemu, co mu přišlo zvláštní.
Dosud prakticky neznámá činnost Vladimíra Ambroze na poli performance, intervencí do veřejného prostoru a projevů blízkých inscenované fotografii trvala jen několik let. V druhé polovině sedmdesátých let patřil k okruhu brněnské umělecké scény působící vně tehdejších oficiálních institucí. Ambrozovy práce z tohoto období reflektují obecná civilizační témata a současně reagují na temnou atmosféru vrcholící normalizace. V prostředí československé performance jsou unikátní svým důrazem na výraz fotografické dokumentace. Ta není jen prostředkem zachycení performance, ale mají blízko k inscenované nebo esteticky působivé konceptuální fotografii. Byl také prvním, kdo na našem území performanci zkombinoval s videem.
Bohatě ilustrovaná kniha Vladimír Ambroz: Akce zprostředkovává umělcův archiv s kompletní dokumentací jeho realizovanýh i nerealizovanýh akcí. Práci Vladimíra Ambroze do kontextu československé i světové performance zasazuje obsáhlý text historika umění Tomáše Pospiszyla. Na Vladimíra Ambroze dále v knize vzpomínají jeho tehdejší přátelé a spolupracovníci Petr Štembera, Marian Palla a Pavel Büchler.

Obraz a slovo v českém výtvarném umění šedesátých let
Publikace představuje projevy českého výtvarného umění šedesátých let, které se programově věnují vztahu obrazu a slova. Jde zejména o díla navazující na tehdejší experimentální postupy v umění, na druhé straně reagující na tehdy pociťovanou vyprázdněnost jazyka. To přivedlo řadu autorů k úvahám o relativnosti spojení slova a toho, co označuje. Rozebírána jsou díla Jiřího Koláře, Jiřího Balcara, Jana Kotíka, Ladislava Nováka, Vladimíra Burdy, Josefa Hiršala, B ohumily Grögerové, Jiřího Valocha, Běly Kolářové, Dalibora Chatrného, ale například i známé Antikódy Václava Havla.
Publikace vychází při příležitosti stejnojmenné výstavy pořádané Západočeskou galerií v Plzni.
