Lacná kniha Klein Yves (-14%)


The artist who owned ultramarine In the mid-Fifties, Yves Klein (1928–1962) declared that “a new world calls for a new man”. With his idiosyncratic style and huge charisma, this bold artist would go on to pursue a brief but bountiful career, producing more than a thousand paintings over seven years in an oeuvre now considered a mainstay of the postwar modernism. Klein made his name above all with his large, monochrome canvases in his own, patented hue of blue. International Klein Blue (IKB), composed of pure pigment and binding medium, is at once rich and luminous, evocative and decorative, and was conceived by Klein as a means of evoking the immateriality and infinitude of the world. The works of this “Blue Revolution” seem to draw us into another dimension, as if hypnotized by a perfect summer sky. A pioneer of daring painting techniques, Klein was also renowned for his deployment of “living paintbrushes”, in which naked women, daubed in International Klein Blue, would make imprints of their bodies on large sheets of paper. Often, these Anthropométries were staged as elaborate performances, complete with blue cocktails or Klein’s own Monotone Symphony. This Basic Art introduction presents key Klein works to introduce an artist who was at once a showman, inventor, and pioneer of performance art. With page after page of the ever-alluring International Klein Blue, it is both an essential guide to a modern art master and a meditation on the unique effects of a single color.

Dream Cities : Seven Urban Ideas That Shape the World


Beginning as a lightbulb flicker or a sketch on a napkin, the landmarks and sights of our public spaces that we now associate with the vast and impersonal reaches of history all began as living ideas in the minds of spirited dreamers. In this book, Wade Graham explores the visionary works that have set the blueprint for contemporary built spaces. From the utopian superblocks of Le Corbusier to the agrarian revivalism of Frank Lloyd Wright, Wade crafts profiles of the singular individuals who have come to define the places most of us live in.

Matisse Cut-Outs


Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was a fighting spirit. Despite a cancer diagnosis in 1941, increasing frailty and the confines of a wheelchair, the indomitable Frenchman never stopped in his quest to make art. With what he called "une seconde vie," a second life, he embarked on a remarkable collage period, cutting and pasting pieces of colored paper into "gouaches decoupees" of birds, plants, flowers, and the female form.Emphasizing color and contrast, the cut-out technique generated both striking lines and vivid juxtapositions. In works such as The Fall of Icarus (1943), The Blue Nude (1952), The Snail (1953), and La Gerbe (1953), clean forms and elemental structures power a compositional force that belies the work's decorative appeal, at once tightly organized and infectious with joie de vivre. As his work progressed, Matisse's excitement with his results fueled ever-larger pieces, advancing from small works to vast wall-sized murals.

De Lempicka


Freewheeling Tamara de Lempicka, icon of Art DecoTamara de Lempicka (1896 1980) lived art in the fast lane. With an appetite for glamour and fame as much as Left Bank bohemianism, she fled her native Russia after the Bolshevik revolution and set about taking Paris by storm. Her prolific, monumental oeuvre remains one of the most vivid documents of 1920s Art Deco. De Lempicka s style deployed cool colors and tight, post-cubist forms into an at once neoclassical and voluptuous figuration. Her subjects, often nude, are sensual, aloof, and powerful. Bedecked in seductive light and textures, they command our attention but typically avert their gaze with an aspect of haughty grandeur. Her subjects include both high-society patrons and progressive portraits of emancipated and lesbian women, such as Women Bathing, Portrait of Suzy Solidor, and her notorious Self-Portrait in the Green Bugatti, showing Tamara behind the wheel. A vision of speed, sophistication, and independence, the work was commissioned for the cover of German magazine Die Dame, which defined de Lempicka as the epitome of women s liberation. Through some of her finest, most compelling portraits, this introduction to de Lempicka explores the artist s unique visual language and its privileged place not only in the annals of interwar art but also in the history of female artists and in our collective consciousness of the Roaring Twenties.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"

Prostor pro člověka v tvorbě Michala Škody


Kniha Prostor pro člověka v tvorbě Michala Škody není klasickým katalogem ani teoretickou studií. Je knihou o hledání jazyka, a to v několika úrovních. Je hledáním jazyka interpretace vnímání a prožívání reálného prostoru člověkem v něm přítomným, a to skrze výtvarný projev a zároveň skrze slovo, interpretující jak výtvarné dílo, tak samotný prostor našeho života. Napříč obory – architektury, výtvarného umění a literatury – pokládá otázku o významu prostoru v životě člověka. Cílem knihy je hledat možné odpovědi na to, kam se podělo ztracené vědomí zakotvenosti člověka ve fyzickém prostoru současného světa, zejména architektury, respektive veškerého vystavěného prostředí. Kam se ztratila schopnost ho vědomě prožívat a porozumět mu. Díla Michala Škody z posledního období, tedy grafitové kresby, architektonické intervence a autorské knihy, mohou být v tomto kontextu vnímána jako komunikativní reprezentace žitého prostoru, nabízející jazyk jeho čtení v abstraktní rovině, který může divákovi rozšířit schopnosti vnímání jeho vlastního reálného světa.

Původ německé truchlohry


Původ německé truchlohry (tiskem 1928), nejrozsáhlejší souvislý text Waltera Benjamina (1892–1940), podává unikátní výklad barokní jevištní i výtvarné alegorie – a činí tak jazykem plným aluzí, vnitřní dynamiky a neočekávaných obratů, nutících čtenáře nahlédnout hloubku povrchu a umění neumělosti. Walter Benjamin dnes bývá nejčastěji označován za filosofa kultury či teoretika médií; sám se ale možná chápal především jako teolog obrazu a jazyka, teolog, který poznává různá náboženství, ale k žádnému nepatří jednoznačně, a hovoří o božském, ale nekáže je. Vedle nového překladu tohoto klíčového textu moderního myšlení svazek obsahuje také dějová shrnutí hlavních barokních truchloher a medailony autorů, rukopisné materiály a dokumenty k Benjaminově neúspěšné habilitaci, jmenný i věcný rejstřík a reprodukce barokních grafik, na které Benjamin v textu odkazuje.

Magyar ornamentika


A Huszka családról kevés adat, illetve dokumentum maradt fent. Egyes források szerint a rajztanár, művészettörténész dédapja (szintén Huszka József) 1787-ben folyamodott lakossági jogért a félegyházi tanácshoz. A Redemptus családból származó feleségére tekintettel, kérelmét még abban az esztendőben jóvá is hagyták. A csizmadia mester dédapa feleségével és gyermekeivel érkezett Félegyházára, feltehetően a Jászságból. (Erre vonatkozóan nincsenek adatok.) A dédapa mesterségét Vendel nevű fia folytatta, aki 1783-ban született. Tizennyolc éves korában felvették a csizmadia céhbe, és még abban az évben (1801) elvette a Kis Ágnes nevű hajadont. Házasságukból tizenkét gyermek született. A legidősebb, Vendel papnak tanult, később Halason lett plébános. József a félegyházi algimnázium elvégzése után a tanítói pályára lépett. A szabadságharc leverése után sokadmagával elbocsátották, és ügyvéd lett. Két fia volt: Ödön és Dezső. Tanulmányai befejezése után Ödön egy ideig jegyzőként dolgozott Félegyházán, később Szegedre költözött. A magyar ornamentika nem mondák, hagyományok, ősi feljegyzések és nyelvészeti összevetések labirintusából keletkezett és igazság látszatával ható megállapítások összevetése, hanem ma is látható, megfogható, mérlegelhető kisebb-nagyobb műbecsű, régi és mai iparművészeti tárgyak formáinak beszéde. A formák nyelvét kísérlem megszólaltatni, hogy mondják el, hol, mikor, mily célból és alkalomból, vagy mily rendeltetéssel születtek.

The Princess Diarist


The Princess Diarist is Carrie Fisher's intimate, hilarious and revealing recollection of what happened behind the scenes on one of the most famous film sets of all time, the first Star Wars movie. When Carrie Fisher recently discovered the journals she kept during the filming of the first Star Wars movie, she was astonished to see what they had preserved-plaintive love poems, unbridled musings with youthful naivete, and a vulnerability that she barely recognized. Today, her fame as an author, actress, and pop-culture icon is indisputable, but in 1977, Carrie Fisher was just a (sort-of) regular teenager. With these excerpts from her handwritten notebooks, The Princess Diarist is Fisher's intimate and revealing recollection of what happened on one of the most famous film sets of all time-and what developed behind the scenes. And today, as she reprises her most iconic role for the latest Star Wars trilogy, Fisher also ponders the joys and insanity of celebrity, and the absurdity of a life spawned by Hollywood royalty, only to be surpassed by her own outer-space royalty.Laugh-out-loud hilarious and endlessly quotable, The Princess Diarist brims with the candour and introspection of a diary while offering shrewd insight into the type of stardom that few will ever experience.

Are We Human? - The Archeology of Design


Are We Human? rethinks the philosophy of design in a multi-dimensional exploration from the very first tools and ornaments to the constant buzz of social media. The average day involves the experience of thousands of layers of design that reach to outside space but also reach deep into our bodies and brains. Even the planet itself has been completely encrusted by design as a geological layer. There is no longer an outside to the world of design. Design has become the world. Design is what makes the human. It is the very basis of social life. But design also engineers inequalities and new forms of neglect, such as lawlessness, poverty, and the climate at the same time as the human genome and the weather are being actively redesigned. We can no longer reassure ourselves with the idea of "good design." Design itself needs to be redesigned.

Film a dějiny 5


Chronologický postup řady Film a dějin pokračuje pátým svazkem věnovaným krátkému (dalo by se možná říci přechodovému) údobí druhé poloviny 80. let, v tehdejším jazyce označovaného za "přestavbu". Její zrod se datuje s nástupem Michaila Gorbačova (1985) na místo vrcholného představitele Sovětského svazu a jeho snahami o zavedení strukturálních reforem. Ty byly provázeny i kulturním uvolněním, zeslabením cenzury a nástupem nového proudu v sovětské kinematografii. Zásadní otázkou, na níž v sérii jednotlivých studií snaží odpovědět jejich autoři, je jak tato "přestavba" vypadala v prostředí socialistického Československa, projevily se zde deklarované změny a dá se vůbec mluvit o československé "filmové přestavbě". Sborník je sestaven do tří ucelenějších oddílů, které jsou uvozeny historickou studií, shrnující dobový kontext a vývoj. Následující první část sleduje a představuje situaci v SSSR, na to navazuje exkurz do situace v čs. hraném filmu a závěrečný oddíl se věnuje situaci v Čs. televizi a televizní tvorbě.

Ode to Color


Ode to Color : The Ten Essential Palettes for Living and Design Internationally renowned textile designer Lori Weitzner presents a novel, layered perspective on the use and significance of color in design and culture in this spectacular treasury illustrated with 225 full-color images. Ode to Color, a stunning anthology by renowned and award-winning textile and wallcovering designer Lori Weitzner, principal of Lori Weitzner Design, Inc., offers an immersive, sensual, and engaging journey in the world of color as it applies to culture, design, mood, and memory. Each of the ten chapters in this richly illustrated volume presents a distinct color world through an intimate and often kaleidoscopic perspective, a compilation of the numerous-and often shifting-associations and emotions we assign to a color or group of colors. Each chapter combines diverse imagery-evocative fine art and photography, environmental interiors, details of Weitzner's gorgeous designs as well as her sketches and watercolors-with excerpts from literature and her own essays on a wide array of topics relating to the palette. The result is a fully sensory conveyance of each palette's particular power as well as a consideration of its tangible and intangible connections, from its place in religion, pop culture, and commerce to the impact it has upon our decision making, our moods, and our tastes. While each chapter is unique in its approach to the ten worlds, with its mix of essays, prose and range of art, from a Technicolor Disney cartoon in Out Loud to David Bowie as Ziggy Stardust in Silverlight, each chapter includes: An introductory essay on a subject that characterizes the palette * A two-page photographer of an open drawer in Weitzner's studio that she has arranged with various fabrics, skeins, and objects that, together, comprise the palette;* An evocative two-page word collage that presents both color names and the words commonly associated with the palette;* Design pointers that provide in-depth insight to working with color and to decorating with each palette throughout the home, from wall treatments to accessories. Spectacular and imaginative, this experiential volume will captivate, inspire, and inform a broad audience, including interior designers and decorators, architects, graphic and fine artists, and anyone interested in art, design, fashion, pop culture, and spiritual discovery. Sumptuous, beautifully designed, and filled with wondrous imagery and compelling stories and facts, it makes an inspiring and unusual gift for almost any occasion.

Monet: The Early Years


The first comprehensive examination of the painter's formative years, tracing the evolution of Monet's early style and personal ambitions that drove the rest of his career This elegant volume is the first to be devoted to the young genius of Claude Monet (1840-1926). Bringing together the greatest paintings from his early career-including his first Salon-exhibited work, the Kimbell Art Museum's La Pointe de la Heve at Low Tide; Dejeuner sur l'Herbe (Luncheon on the Grass) and The Magpie from the Musee d'Orsay; and The Green Wave and La Grenouillere from the Metropolitan Museum of Art-it features essays by distinguished scholars, focusing on the evolution of Monet's own distinctive mode of painting. Through the 1860s, the young painter absorbed and transformed a variety of influences, from the lessons of the Barbizon school and his mentor Boudin to the challenges posed by his friends Manet, Pissarro, Renoir, and Sisley. Artistic innovation and personal ambition shaped the work of the celebrated impressionist painter from the very start of his long and illustrious career.

The Japanese House Reinvented


Japanese houses today have to contend with unique factors that condition their design, from tiny plots in crowded urban contexts to ever-present seismic threats. These challenges encourage their architects to explore alternating ideas of stability and ephemerality in various ways, resulting in spaces that are as fascinating as they are idiosyncratic. Their formal innovation and attention to materials, technology and measures to coax in light and air while maintaining domestic privacy make them cutting-edge residences that suggest new ways of being at home. Contemporary Japanese architecture has emerged as a substantial force on the international scene ever since Kenzo Tange won the Pritzker Prize in 1987. This overview of 50 recent houses powerfully demonstrates Japan's enduring commitment to design innovation.
