Hokusai. Beyond the Great Wave
An important publication on Hokusai's remarkable late work, originally published to accompany the acclaimed retrospective at the British Museum and now available in a compact edition.
Hokusai (1760-1849) created sublime works during the last thirty years of his life, right up to his death at the age of almost ninety. This book presents fresh scholarship on the paintings and prints created by the artist during his final three decades, bringing together the finest examples to be found in Japan and around the world.
Hokusai's personal beliefs are studied here through major brush paintings, drawings, woodblock prints and illustrated books. This publication gives due attention to the contribution of Hokusai's daughter Eijo (Oi), an accomplished artist in her own right. Hokusai continually explored the mutability and minutiae of natural phenomena in his art. His late subjects and styles were based on a mastery of eclectic Japanese, Chinese and European techniques and an encyclopedic knowledge of nature, myth and history. The collection of Hokusai's works draws on the finest to be found in Japan and around the world, making this a uniquely valuable overview of the artist's late career.

Spaßmacher ve službách šlechty
Touha po zábavě a smíchu přivedla po třicetileté válce do šlechtických sídel divadelní představení, v nichž měla své důležité místo komická postava, Spaßmacher. Vychytralý a mnohdy vulgární sluha narušoval děje uváděných převážně moralistních děl svými komentáři a starostmi vycházejícími z nejnižších potřeb. Předkládaná kniha se vydává nejen po stopách organizátorů těchto představení, ale hlavně představitelů komických rolí a zavádí čtenáře do prostředí šlechtických rodů, jako byli Martinicové, Slavatové, Bruntálští z Vrbna, Eggenbergové nebo vévodové sasko-lauenburští. Sledovány jsou rovněž profesionální divadelní společnosti působící v českých zemích ve druhé polovině 17. století, jejich vzájemná provázanost a mobilita v rámci středoevropského prostoru.

Cello
'Just as a cello's voice is divided across four strings, each with its own colour and character, this is a journey in four parts, in search of four players and their instruments...'
In Cello, Kate Kennedy weaves together the lives of four remarkable cellists who suffered various forms of persecution, injury and misfortune. The Hungarian Jewish cellist and composer Pál Hermann managed to keep one step ahead of the Gestapo for much of the Second World War but was eventually captured and murdered. Lise Cristiani, the first female professional cello soloist, undertook an epic - and ultimately fatal - concert tour of Siberia in the 1850s, taking with her one of the world's greatest Stradivari cellos. Anita Lasker-Wallfisch was incarcerated in both Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen camps, only surviving because she was the cellist in the Auschwitz-Birkenau women's orchestra. Amedeo Baldovino of the Trieste Piano Trio was forced to jump from a burning ship with his 'Mara' Stradivari, losing the cello, and nearly losing his own life when the boat was shipwrecked near Buenos Aires.
Counterpointing the themes raised by these extraordinary stories are a sequence of interludes that draw together the author's reflections on the nature and history of the cello, and her many interviews and encounters with contemporary cellists. Kate Kennedy's own relationship with the cello is a complicated one. As a teenager, she suffered an injury to her arm that imposed severe limitations on her career as a performer on the instrument that was her first love. She realised that, in order to start to understand what the cello meant to her, she needed to find out what the cello - and, crucially, the absence of the cello - had meant to some other cellists, past and present.
Kate Kennedy has written an eloquent and multitextured homage to this warmest of stringed instruments - part quest narrative, part detective story, part philosophical meditation.
Assemble
The long-awaited monograph on the Turner Prize-winning multidisciplinary architecture collective Assemble, gathering more than a decade of their groundbreaking collaborative work.
Assemble are not your usual architects. They work as a collective, where everything from which projects to take on to who clears away lunch is decided by the group. Formed in 2010 to conceive, build and run a temporary cinema on the site of a disused petrol station, they went on to design the celebrated Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art in London and the workshops at Atelier Luma in Arles, alongside numerous community projects such as playgrounds and public spaces. The fact that in 2015 they scooped the prestigious Turner Prize - more often given to mid-career artists - along the way gives some indication of the nature of their surprising, collaborative work and its cultural impact.
This book is the result of extensive conversations between the group and architecture critic Aaron Betsky, bringing together all of their significant projects to date through photographs, drawings and their own words.
The Art of Modern Design
The renowned interior designers share residential projects and designs for furniture that embody their sleek and refined contemporary aesthetic

In The Art of Modern Design: The Interiors of James Magni & Jason Kalman, they showcase thirteen projects that blend a rich modernist palette of glass, concrete, stone, and steel, with plush textiles and blue-chip art. A chapter on developing their luxury furnishings - exclusive pieces from the Magni Home Collection, that the designers approach as unique sculptures - offers further insight into their creative outlook. This new book is a celebration of artistry, craftsmanship, and the timeless beauty of contemporary interiors.
Viktor Kolář. Ostrava 1963-2024
"Vím, co nejsem: rozhodně nejsem dokumentarista," vymezil se fotograf Viktor Kolář v jednom z rozhovorů proti tomu, aby byla jeho tvorba zařazována do žánru, který ho nezajímá. A svoje stanovisko prokazuje i v nové knize fotografií, kterou pro nakladatelství KANT uspořádal po úspěchu dnes už těžko dostupných knih Ostrava (2010) a Canada 1968-1973 (2013). Kolářovy snímky sice neobyčejně výmluvně vypovídají o určitém místě a jeho dobových proměnách, ale dělají to spíše mimochodem. Ve skutečnosti se zaměřují na okamžiky náhlých a jedinečných, někdy až nepravděpodobných "setkání" - v tom smyslu, jak tento výraz prosazovali surrealisté. Na výtvarně působivých černobílých fotografiích nechybí nic z neodmyslitelných rysů hornické a průmyslové Ostravy, ale výsledný portrét města je imaginární, ne realisticky popisný. Proto se v doprovodných esejích Manuela Anceau, Jana Balabána, Martina Dostála a Jaromíra Typlta o Viktoru Kolářovi uvažuje ne jen jako o fotografovi, ale jako také jako o básníkovi, který místo slov používá obrazy.
"I know what I'm not: definitely I'm not a documentarist” is how photographer Viktor Kolář defended himself in one interview from having his work assigned to a genre in which he took no interest. And this same stance is revealed again in the new book of photographs that he prepared for KANT Publishers following the success of his now hard-to-find volumes Ostrava (2010) and Canada 1968-1973 (2013). Kolář's shots may speak with unusual eloquence about a specific place and its changes over time, yet they do so only indirectly. In reality, they concentrate on those moments of sudden and unique, sometimes even improbable "encounters” - precisely in the sense that this word was used by the Surrealists. These aesthetically powerful black-and-white photographs miss nothing of the indelible characteristics of Ostrava, a city of mining and industry, yet the resulting portrait of the city is imaginary, not a realistic description. As such, in the accompanying essays by Manuel Anceau, Jan Balabán, Martin Dostál and Jaromír Typlt, Viktor Kolář is discussed not only as a photographer but equally as a poet, using images in place of words.
Ochočené nekonečno
Publikace Eva Eisler – Ochočené nekonečno nabízí nový pohled na dílo výjimečné umělkyně, jež se plynule pohybuje mezi šperkem, designem, architekturou a volným uměním. Eva Eisler vnímá svou tvorbu jako jeden kontinuální celek, v němž se forma a materiál stávají prostředníky významu. Právě význam – často skrytý za estetickou dokonalostí a řemeslnou precizností – tvoří ústřední linku této knihy. Autorka Pavla Melková čerpá ze společných rozhovorů s Evou Eisler i z vlastních interpretačních úvah a rozkrývá významové vrstvy, které prostupují jednotlivými díly i celými tematickými okruhy. Kniha neklade důraz na kategorizaci, ale na intuitivní, subjektivní čtení děl, ve kterých se mísí přírodní a technické materiály, řád a organičnost, symbolika a osobní prožitek. Doprovodné texty samotné Evy Eisler osvětlují kontexty vzniku jednotlivých děl a odhalují osobní rovinu přístupu k vlastní tvorbě. Publikace je doplněna citacemi externích autorů, kterými je tvorba Evy Eisler zasazena do širšího společenského a kulturního rámce. Kniha volně navazuje na monografii Petry Matějovičové a představuje tvorbu po roce 2013, přičemž starší práce interpretuje v nových souvislostech. Ochočené nekonečno je knihou o hledání smyslu v umění, o tichém dialogu mezi objektem a člověkem a o tom, že forma bez významu nikdy není úplná. Grafika Robert V. Novák. Vychází v češtině.

Firecrackers
A vivid showcase of work by more than thirty of the world's leading contemporary female documentary photographers.
Firecracker, established in 2011 by Fiona Rogers, is a platform dedicated to supporting female photographers worldwide by showcasing their work. Building upon Firecracker's foundations, this book brings together photography that encompasses an eclectic variety of styles, techniques and locations, from Alma Haser's futuristic series of portraits that use origami to create 3D sculptures within the frame, to Laura El-Tantawy's filmic and intensely personal series on political protest in Cairo. There is a recurring theme throughout the book that serves to unite these extraordinary women and their work: the exploration of individual stories and under-discussed subjects, seen by fresh eyes.
The V&A Book of Colour in Design
A beautifully presented survey of design and the applied arts, explored not by use, material, form or date - but by colour
The V&A Book of Colour in Design is attractively simple: a celebration and exploration of colour, as revealed through objects in the world-class collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Structured by colour, it offers fascinating insights into the choices made by designers and makers from across the world and throughout history.
Each chapter begins with a brief introduction that considers the history, symbolism, and use of an individual colour. Objects - from items of jewelry, textiles, glassware and ceramics to furniture and more - are reproduced in a visual selection that explores the varied hues of every colour. However different objects within each section may be in their detail and meaning, they are united by their common colour, revealing surprising connections between them. Throughout, narrative captions bring together disparate items from across the V&A's collection to explore the universal significance of colour in art and design.
Beautifully designed, this highly visual, colour-led survey of design and the applied arts is a compelling sourcebook with broad appeal for anyone interested or involved in all aspects of visual culture.
A *Co-* Program for Graphic Design
Three new graphic design courses, detailed in this volume, comprise a critical companion to Reinfurt's bestselling DIY textbook, A *New* Program for Graphic Design
This volume expands David Reinfurt's uniquely pragmatic and experimental approach to pedagogy into a collaborative project that weaves together a multiplicity of voices to present a polyphonic approach to design history and teaching. Three of Reinfurt's new Princeton University graphic design courses-C-i-r-c-u-l-a-t-i-o-n, M-u-l-t-p-l-i-c-i-t-y and R-e-s-e-a-r-c-h-developed explicitly in the context of remote teaching and in light of urgent realignments around whose stories get told and who does the telling, are presented in this follow-up to A *New* Program for Graphic Design (Inventory Press/D.A.P., 2018). C-i-r-c-u-l-a-t-i-o-n examines the distribution networks for graphic design including electronic and conventional means. M-u-l-t-p-l-i-c-i-t-y, taught with mathematics professor Philip Ording, explores graphic design from the perspective of topology and topology through the practice of graphic design. R-e-s-e-a-r-c-h is an advanced graphic design class which cultivates an exploratory and expansive design process and investigates what the term ""design research"" has meant at different points in design history.
From these separate angles comes a collaborative and cooperative way of telling and teaching design history, taking on subjects from the Detroit Printing Co-op, Corita Kent and Charles and Ray Eames, to Giuseppe Peano, Marshall McLuhan, Sylvia Harris and Virgil Abloh. Through a series of in-depth historical case studies and assignments that progressively build in complexity, the book serves as a practical guide to visually understanding the history-and shaping the future-of our designed world.
David Reinfurt is an independent graphic designer and writer based in New York City. He worked as an interaction designer at IDEO from 1995 to 1997, where he was the lead designer for the MTA Metrocard vending machine interface. In 2000, Reinfurt formed the graphic design practice O-R-G inc., followed by Dexter Sinister in 2006 and the Serving Library in 2012. He has taught at Princeton University since 2010.

Stíny horkého léta Traudi Schönfeld
Portréty copaté dívky a otlučených věcí ze starého domu nakreslené černým pískem. Zobrazení prostá, vykořeněná ze sudetského kdysi, tak intimní, že vyvolávají ostych. Víc vzpomínka než skutečnost. Pak klíště, lesní mravenci, netopýr, pavouci, lišaj a další pohledům skrytí obyvatelé místa. Zachycení na přírodním papíře z himálajských rostlin, jehož struktura připomíná lidskou kůži. Formáty přes dva metry, jako by zdůrazňovaly, že záležitosti člověka pomíjejí, ale příroda je věčná. Mezi nimi na ramínku uniforma BDM, říšského Svazu německých dívek. Jako nová.
Erika Bornová ve svém nejnovějším cyklu kreslí a maluje, jaké to je sdílet osobní prostor se stínem z minulosti. A všude kolem temná krása rozkladu. Jedno jestli z pozůstatků věcí a těl nebo rozvrácených dějin. Tehdy, stejně jako dnes.
