This delightful homage to Pulcinella (or Punch as he is referred to in English) contains over one hundred extraordinary pencil illustrations, some of which are depicted in comic-strip style. Divided into several scenes, it features the oddly surreal and globally recognised character that originated in seventeenth-century comedic theatre and became a fixture in Neapolitan puppetry. Distinguished by a long nose and typically dressed in white with a black mask, Pulcinella is often depicted in various kinds of misadventures and singing about themes of love, hunger, and money. In the typical fashion of author Luigi Serafini, Pulcinellopaedia Seraphiniana is created in a unique language all its own, and is filled with fascinating and mysterious illustrations that require thorough examination and inference to decipher what the artist is intending to portray. Written by Serafini s imaginative coauthor and alter ego C. Petrulo, who represents Pulcinella himself, the book artfully presents the struggles of a rebellious antihero who must come to grips with the difficulties of everyday life. First published in 1984 and since revised by the author, this volume is an exquisite treasure that has intrigued readers for more than thirty years. Designed as a handsome companion volume ready to take its place alongside the bestselling Codex Seraphinianus, the Pulcinellopaedia is akin to a missing chapter or coda to the Codex that no fan of Luigi Serafini s work will want to miss

Jednotlivé studie se snaží postihnout různé vývojové etapy tohoto tvůrce od raných lyrických projektů (Ohnivé léto, Řeka čaruje) přes expresivní momenty rané poválečné tvorby (Housle a sen) a slavné šrámkovské adaptace (Měsíc nad řekou, Stříbrný vítr) až po výraznou stopu na poli filmových životopisů (Housle a sen, Z mého života, Posel úsvitu) a pozdní díla 60. let, která nezapadala do linie nové vlny. Kniha představuje také některé dosud neakcentované aspekty (expresionismu, ženské postavy apod.) (edice Filmová mozaika č. 3)

Leonardo da Vinci egyszerre volt festő, szobrász, városépítész, mérnök és feltaláló - ezt a szerteágazó pályafutást a kutatók ritkán értelmezik egységes egészként. Daniel Arasse a kevesek közé tartozik: bemutatja az egyik legnagyobb elme szabadon burjánzó világát, megfesti a művész-filozófus portréját, szemlélteti Leonardo forradalmian önálló státuszát a kor kultúrájában, és roppant alapossággal elemzi művészi munkásságát a legegyszerűbb grafikáktól kezdve egészen a Mona Lisáig. Daniel Arasse szemléletének ereje a tekintet figyelmes, elmélyült koncentrációjából fakad. Könyvében ezúttal is bebizonyítja, amit Borbély Szilárd fogalmazott meg: "Képeket látni és értelmezni nem csupán a nézés, hanem a képzés, a képzelet által tanulunk meg."

Groundbreaking fashion photographer Gleb Derujinsky invigorated the fashion industry with his glamorous, exotic, and often unconventional photographs. Gleb Derujinsky?s career as a fashion photographer took hold in the golden age of European haute couture, when Balenciaga and Pierre Balmain were at the top of their game and Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld were designing their first runway shows. Although air travel was still reserved for the happy few, Derujinsky convinced his editors Carmel Snow and Diana Vreeland to send him around the world to photograph beautiful models?like Carmen Dell?Orefice and his future wife, Ruth Neumann?draped in expensive gowns juxtaposed against rough desert dunes or a glittering ocean at sunset. His ideas were revolutionary and they gave rise to the mystique and glamour that is now pervasive in fashion.Derujinsky was the quintessential Renaissance man?photographer, award-winning cinematographer and commercial director, inventor, WWII veteran, world traveler, jewelry designer, musician, ski instructor, Ferrari America race-car driver, and champion glider pilot. His passion for photography started at the tender age of six, by ten, he had built a photo enlarger, and as a teenager, he became the youngest member of the Camera Club of New York. His photographs appeared in major lifestyle magazines and extensively in Harper?s Bazaar from 1950 to 1970. This is the first monograph to celebrate his major contributions to the history of fashion and photography.

Edward Burtynsky (b. 1955) is one of a generation of photographers, including Andreas Gursky and Thomas Struth, who seek to portray the visible outcomes of a globalized economy and humankind's impact upon environments around the world. He has achieved global recognition with his large-scale photographs and project-based monographs, such as Quarries, Oil and Water, all of which have resulted in popular touring exhibitions and, in the case of Water, a feature-length documentary film entitled Watermark. However, while Burtynsky's global standing is without question, no comprehensive retrospective of his career to date exists. Edited and curated by William A. Ewing, Edward Burtynsky: Essential Elements provides an overview of Burtynsky's work across four decades, including both iconic images and previously unpublished photographs. It dissolves previous project-based definitions to set out Burtynsky's oeuvre as five free-flowing sections that provide a sense of both his visual language and his exploration of the dilemmas at the heart of our globalized world. Each of the five sections is interleaved with a selection of texts from previous publications and articles on Burtynsky that work in concert with the photographs to provide a complete understanding of Burtynsky's view of the world. With an introduction by William A. Ewing and an essay by Joshua Schuster, this book provides both an entirely new way of seeing Burtynsky's work for those who already follow his career and an accessible introduction for those encountering his photographs for the first time.

Kniha Velkoměsta v 19. a 20. století – křižovatky změn si komparativním prizmatem klade otázku, zda lze z konkrétních historických souvislostí vývoje čtyř evropských velkoměst 19. a 20. století, Londýna, Paříže, Berlína a Vídně – a v odůvodněných případech s přihlédnutím i k řadě jiných měst – vysledovat rozdílné sídelní strategie. Tato práce se tedy rigidně nedrží pouze vybraných velkoměst, Londýna, Paříže, Berlína a Vídně, ale do srovnávání vstupují i další města vždy, když je to vzhledem k logice výkladu nutné. Často si právě výkladová linie vynutila komparační asymetrii, aby se udržela celistvost interpretace určitého jevu. To se rovněž týká i pořadí čtyř hlavních srovnávaných velkoměst, jejichž sled je odlišný v každé kapitole. Téma je rozčleněno do několika subtémat: urbanizace jako jeden ze základních rysů 19. století, chronotop měst 19. století a zrod urbanistické reflexe, modernizace a industrializace jako konstitutivní momenty zrodu průmyslového města, elektrifikace jako jeden z nejmarkantnějších příznaků urbanizace stále ještě venkovské společnosti 19. století, kanalizace jako neviditelná podzemní civilizace, která přinesla do měst do té doby nebývalý hygienický komfort, změněná (oproti 19. století) podoba měst 20. století a konečně postmoderní tečka za zbytnělými ambicemi moderny. Zrod urbanismu jako teoretické reflexe souvisel s pronikavou změnou v prostorové, sociální, ekonomické a kulturní skladbě měst. Těžištěm práce je však komparace čtyř důležitých urbanistických strategií: haussmannizace Paříže, asanace Londýna, cesty k Velkému Berlínu a výstavby Ringstrasse ve Vídni. Kapitola Zrod průmyslového města se zabývá koncepty modernizace a industrializace jako součástmi urbanizačního procesu. Oproti urbanismu 19. století se urbanistická teorie ve 20. století interdisciplinovala a především internacionalizovala, jak je doloženo institucionalizováním urbanistických problémů. Předposlední kapitola se zabývá přeměnou moderního konceptu v postmoderní dohru a poslední shrnuje v otevřeném závěru odlišnosti urbanistických strategií při pozorovatelné shodě.

A celebration of the human body and spirit in more than 100 photographs - all nude, all taken at night. These photographs illustrate the hard work and the dedication it takes to succeed in dancing, acting, photography - or really any creative endeavour that at first may be incredibly frightening or make you feel vulnerable, but once achieved offers an exhilaration previously unimagined. The photos were shot over 200 nights, with 300 different dancers, in more than 400 locations, in all kinds of weather. The photos are grouped by theme - Vulnerability, Ferocity, Stability, Ecstasy - and include shots from sunset to dawn, in spectacular black and white and glorious colour. Many will be accompanied by an inspiring quote. Additional text will include Jordan's introductory essay, describing how he came up with the book idea and how he is inspired by the dancers he photographs, as well as "Behind the Scenes" stories of how the shot was achieved and "In Their Shoes" - words from the dancers on what it was like to be photographed in nude in public.

Artists ask questions when they make art - and viewers ask questions when they look at art. This gently provocative book provides an engaging way for young people to start asking and answering questions for themselves. 'Why is art full of naked people?' is structured around 22 questions, each one tackled over two spreads. The opening spread explores the question and answer, inviting the reader to study a full-bleed image of an important artwork. The second spread shows a selection of work on the theme from across history, showing how art can run with an idea to hugely different ends. The tone of the text is fresh and informal but not flippant.

Despite the functional obsolescence of the mechanical wristwatch (our phones and computers tell more accurate time) the early 21st Century has seen a boom in the development, production, and appreciation of all things horological. Whether it is presented to the collector as an alternative investment, as a feat of micro-mechanical technology, or as a showcase of artisanal mastery, the mechanical wristwatch has never possessed more forms, functions or facets than it does today. The Wristwatch Handbook is written from the epicentre of a renaissance, a place in time between the Quartz revolution and the rise of the smart device - where the mechanical wristwatch is the antidote to the microprocessor and the permanent buzz of your inbox. From the multi-axis tourbillion, to the split-second chronograph, to the sidereal sky chart, The Wristwatch Handbook covers it all and does so with more than 470 rich illustrations from over 90 of the World's leading brands.The book is separated into two sections. The first section provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the mechanical movement.Its chapters explore power, transmission, distribution and regulation illustrating the basic concepts before considering the innovation and complexity that takes place further toward the cutting edge. From the fifty-day power reserve, to the constant force mechanism, and the 1,000Hz mechanical escapement, section 1 will allow the reader to understand and appreciate what is happening beneath the dial of their watch. Section two allows the reader to take this understanding and apply it to the vast range of complications (functions) that exist in modern horology. Each chapter showcases a distinct category of complication. For example, the regatta timer, pulsometer, and monopusher chronograph join a host of others in a chapter entitled 'Recording Lapses of Time'; The power reserve indicator, dynamograph, and crown position indicator are featured in a chapter for 'Power and Performance Indication'; The moon phase indicator, annual calendar, and planetarium can be found in the 'Astronomical Complications' chapter.Once the functional categories are exhausted, the final three chapters explore whimsical complications that have little regard for practical function, novelty time indication, and the 'super-complicated' watch - a rare breed of timepiece that houses an intimidating host of complications featured throughout the book. Upon completion of The Wristwatch Handbook the reader will be able to identify even the most exotic complication from across the room, and be able to share their appreciation and understanding of what makes it so useful and compelling. The Wristwatch Handbook is "brand agnostic", using only those watches that most aptly illustrate the given subject-matter. As a consequence the book places equal emphasis on the classic and the cutting edge, on watches produced in large volume or exclusive runs, by industry-leading technology or at the hand of a master. In doing so the book provides an unparalleled range of watches from over 90 brands, allowing the reader to determine for themselves which brands, complications, and styles they will build their collection from.
