A History of Pictures
The making of pictures has a history going back perhaps 100,000 years to an African shell used as a paint palette. Two-thirds of it is irrevocably lost, since the earliest images known to us are from about 40,000 years ago. But what a 40,000 years, explored here by David Hockney and Martin Gayford in a brilliantly original book. They privilege no medium, or period, or style, but instead, in 16 chapters, discuss how and why pictures have been made, and insistently link 'art' to human skills and human needs. Each chapter addresses an important question: What happens when we try to express reality in two dimensions? Why is the 'Mona Lisa' beautiful and why are shadows so rarely found in Chinese, Japanese and Persian painting? Why are optical projections always going to be more beautiful than HD television can ever be? How have the makers of images depicted movement? What makes marks on a flat surface interesting? Energized by two lifetimes of looking at pictures, combined with a great artist's 70-year experience of experimentation as he makes them, this profoundly moving and enlightening volume will be the art book of the decade.

John Derian Picture Book
John Derian's home goods empire reaches for and wide-in addition to the four John Derian stores he owns in New York and Massachussetts, his products are sold by more than 600 retailers worldwide, including Neiman Marcus, ABC, and Gumps in the United States; Conrans and Selfridges in the UK; and Astier de Villatte in Paris. It all started with his now-iconic collectible plates decoupaged with 19th-century artwork sourced from old and rare books, a process that credited him with elevating the decoupage technique into fine art. Over the past 25 years, the brand has expanded greatly to include home and general design gifts and products. From intensely coloured flowers and birds to curious portraits, hand-drawn letters, and breathtaking landscapes, the best of John Derian is here. The result is an oversized object of desire, a work of art in and of itself, that brilliantly walks the line between commerce and art, and that is destined to become the gift book of the season.

Příběhy starých pražských domů

Ukryté příběhy, které dotvářejí charakter města, jež přitahuje stále víc pozornosti.

Příběhy známé i téměř zapomenuté mohou být nejenom vhodným prostředkem k zamyšlení nad naší národní minulostí, nejenom zábavným způsobem, jak si ukrátit dlouhou chvíli, ale i návodem, kam se ubírat během procházek naším starobylým, tajemným a překrásným hlavním městem.

The Stanley Kubrick Archives
The Kubrick filesFrom the archives of cinematic geniusIn 1968, when Stanley Kubrick was asked to comment on the metaphysical significance of 2001: A Space Odyssey, he replied: It s not a message I ever intended to convey in words. 2001 is a nonverbal experience...I tried to create a visual experience, one that bypasses verbalized pigeonholing and directly penetrates the subconscious with an emotional and philosophic content. Now available as part of our Bibliotheca Universalis series, The Stanley Kubrick Archives borrows from the director s philosophy. From the opening sequence of Killer s Kiss to the final frames of Eyes Wide Shut, it allows the masterful visuals of Kubrick s complete films to impress through a sequence of compelling, mesmerizing stills. We uncover Kubrick s creative process through fascinating archival material, including set designs, sketches, correspondence, documents, screenplays, drafts, notes, and shooting schedules.Accompanying the visual material are essays by noted Kubrick scholars, articles written by and about Kubrick, and a selection of Kubrick s best interviews. The result is a visual, archival, and scholarly journey through masterworks of 20th century cinema and the meticulous mind of the director behind them.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.

Anjeli a svätí - Angels and Saints
Svätí – martýri, ktorí kedysi položili život za svoju vieru a presvedčenie, ale aj anjeli – dokonalí a všadeprítomní prostredníci medzi Bohom a človekom, boli zvyčajne stvárňovaní ako vznešené bytosti, trpiace (svätci) a bezpohlavné (anjeli). Sadovskej svätí a anjeli sú však napospol ľudia (v prípade anjelov len muži, i keď svoje mužstvo na obdiv nevystavujú). Sú nahí, nie vždy krásni a dokonalí, netrpia. Celkom všedne, gestom či posunkom, pohybom tela, len akoby mimochodom nám sprostredkovávajú svoju stigmu. Niektorí sa dokonca venujú vcelku pozemským činnostiam – diskutujú, ochutnávajú, počúvajú, načahujú sa, ukrývajú, žobrú... A keď sa im prizriete bližšie, možno zistíte, že viacerých dokonca poznáte.
Takže môžete začať tipovať kto je kto. Ako svätcov a anjelov Dorota zobrazila svoje priateľky a priateľov, známych i neznámych ľudí zo svojho okolia, ktorí jej boli ochotní pózovať – niekedy pravdepodobne aj bez toho, aby videli výsledné dielo. Tak teda ako je to? Poľudštila svet svätých a anjelov, alebo premenila ľudí na anjelov a svätých? Isteže, táto ideová ambivalentnosť sa opiera aj o iný – materiálny základ. Vyplýva totiž z jej pracovnej metódy, kde spája fotografiu s maľbou. Práve paradox prenosu obrazu videného cez fotoaparát do rýdzo maliarskych prostriedkov tvorí základ živého a dynamického napätia, ktoré sprevádza jej maľbu. Využíva takmer „staromajstrovské“ prostriedky – perspektívny nadhľad, vizuálnu deformáciu proporcií, farbu, svetlo, tieň, iluzívnosť, ako by sme povedali dnes, pokúša sa o trojrozmerný priestor na dvojrozmernej ploche. Znova sa posunula o krok ďalej a v najlepších prácach skoncentrovala výraz, odhodila „literárne“ barličky, prízračné bytosti sa vynárajú z neba ako sochy, ale občas na vás (možno) aj žmurknú, uhranú vás pohľadom, natiahnu k vám ruku, dotknú sa vás ako priateľky či priatelia. Vstúpte, prosím.
Bruce Davidson - Survey
Bruce Davidson is a pioneer of social documentary photography. He began taking photographs at the age of ten and continued to develop his passion at Rochester Institute of Technology and Yale University. Later called upon for military service, Davidson met Henri Cartier-Bresson in France and was introduced to Magnum Photos. In his work, Davidson prizes his relationship to the subject above all else. From his profound documentation of the civil rights movement to his in-depth study of one derelict block in Harlem, he has immersed himself fully in his projects, which have sometimes taken him several years to complete. He once wrote, I often find myself an outsider on the inside, discovering beauty and meaning in the most desperate of situations. This survey, created in conjunction with an exhibition at Fundación MAPFRE in Spain, focuses on the work that has made Davidson one of the most influential documentary photographers to this day. In addition to his civil rights series and his work in Harlem, the book includes Davidson?s well-known series Brooklyn Gang, Subway, and Central Park. The book also highlights more recent projects, such as his explorations of Paris and Los Angeles landscapes.
Your Cabin in the Woods
Your Cabin in the Woods
For 70 years, readers have been enjoying Meinecke's classic odes to the simple life, Your Cabin in the Woods (1943) and Cabin Craft and Outdoor Living (1947). For the first time, these books are combined into a deluxe two-color vintage package, featuring hundreds of charming illustrations by Victor Aures, known for his work with the Boy Scouts of America. In writing both practical and inspirational, Meinecke details how to turn your dream into a reality, from building plans to choosing land to using tools. However the book's enduring appeal owes in large part to its warmly engaging tone and firm belief in the restorative power of nature. He delights in the satisfaction of hard work, writing "in the doing you find yourself tired, muscles a bit sore, hands hardened and rough, but you will say over and over again, 'I did it.'" Meinecke's homespun wisdom is a comfort in your toil, "Take full enjoyment in the building. Take time out to rest. Most city folks seem always to rush things through. Why? Lay off until tomorrow. Take an afternoon nap. Stop the clock for the weekend. Get off to an early start in the cool of tomorrow morning. You may be crowded in your work in town, but this should be your rest cure, your recreating. Don't spoil it by city driving standards
