A spanyol kultúra szerelmese, "az optimizmus fotográfusa", Spanyolország társadalmi, politikai és kulturális életének fényképésze több mint ötven éven át. Gyenes - kameráival, objektívjeivel és képzelő­erejével felvértezve - kétségkívül a 20. század második felének egyik legjelentősebb művésze. Francótól I. János Károlyig, Alba hercegnőjétől Sara Montielig, Teresa Berganzától Plácido Domingóig, Sophia Lorentől Cary Grantig - hogy csak néhányat említsünk - senki nem kerülte el intelligens figyelmét. Magyar, aki Spanyolországban telepedett le, 20. századi élet és életmű. Juan Gyenes Reményi Madridban hunyt el 1995. május 18-án. Nagyon sokan meglepődtek a halálhírén, hogy egy ilyen életerős és mentálisan friss ember eltávozhatott. A spanyol királyi pár és Barcelona grófnője táviratban fejezték ki részvétüket. Másnap Gyenes a San Isidro temetőben kapott sírhelyet. Családjának kérése az volt, hogy sírján szimbólumként megjelenjen az egyetlen elem, amely minden fényképén látható: az aláírása. Juan Gyenes e kiváló és teljes életrajza Fernando Olmeda tollából alaposan és részletesen dokumentálja ezt az egyedülálló életet, tele eseményekkel, miközben a fényképészetnek nyújtott érdemei alapján a megérdemelt helyére emeli az egyetemes érvényű művészt.

Informační grafika


„Co lze ukázat obrazem, nemá se říkat slovy.“ Uvedené hlavní heslo Otto Neuratha vystihuje jeho přesvědčení, že vizuální vnímání představuje nejpřirozenější část mimojazykové komunikace, možná komunikace vůbec. Proto považujeme za potřebné představit tuto osobnost i českým čtenářům, a především je seznámit s pozapomenutými počátky moderní informační grafiky. Tři základní cíle této knihy jsou: zmapovat intelektuální kořeny metody Isotype, zrekonstruovat, popsat a vysvětlit metodu Isotype tak, jak ji její autor Otto Neurath zamýšlel, a zpracovat recepci metody po smrti Otto Neuratha. Na jeho životním příběhu jsou spolu se stručným nastíněním odborného kontextu popsány přiznané i další pravděpodobné vlivy, vše je zasazeno v chronologickém, geografickém a teoretickém rámci tak, aby si jak odborník, tak laik našli pro sebe přínosnou část.

The Paris Mep Show


Faces, places, and punk: The Alice Springs portfolioWhen her husband who happened to be world-famous photographer Helmut Newton fell sick with flu on the eve of a pressing deadline in 1970 it was up to his wife, June, to photograph an advertisement for Gitanes cigarettes. After the barest instruction in lighting and camerawork, June clicked the shutter on a smoking model and ignited her own career behind the lens.Using the pseudonym Alice Springs, June Newton began as a commercial photographer, shooting advertisements for French and international fashion magazines, before exploring portraiture and celebrity via the highlife in Hollywood and lowlife of the L.A. punk scene during the 1980s. She became Helmut s artistic director, collaborating on exhibitions and books as well as developing her own characteristically intense, revealing photography.Coinciding with a major retrospective at the Helmut Newton Foundation which was shown at the Maison Europeenne de la Photographie, this TASCHEN collection celebrates Alice Springs s work with a focus on the glamour and seedy excitement of 1980s Melrose in Los Angeles, as well as some of her most compelling self-portraits and studies of Helmut. Throughout, we celebrate Springs s sensitivity to subjects in composition and her particular skill at capturing the charisma animating a figure or face.Text in English, French, and German"

1977 Punk London


Punk. London.1977. Most people blinked and missed it. Many spent a decade trying to catch up. Derek Ridgers stumbled across it by accident, where it was, in the beating filthy heart of the Roxy in middle of a derelict slum called Covent Garden. Stumbling through the moshpits trying to keep hold of a borrowed camera. 1977. Punk London brings you 152 pages of photography featuring the birth of the the most exciting cultural phenomenon in UK history. Currents and vibes, flows and backwash, trends and anti-trends splashing around in the cauldron of youth culture in the city of London, and the lost rebels haunting their suburban bedrooms - jumping the train uptown to get into the legendary Roxy. All converged, for one priceless moment, an outpouring of a truly original, DIY, anarchic, underground scene. Ridgers captured the first wave. Kids in the crowd, never before seen. The punks who made their own clothes because you couldn t buy punk clothes. The punks who got beaten up time and again for making themselves into targets. Rebellion before it got easy. You won t see these kids anywhere in the magazines. They weren t trying to get famous. 1977 will happen again.1 977 is happening somewhere, for someone, right now."

Bernardinské slunce nad českými zeměmi


Svatý Bernardin Sienský (1380–1444), původem z Toskány, patří k nejvýznamnějším kazatelům 15. století. Tento reformátor a zakladatel řádu františkánů-observantů ovlivnil svým dílem nejen náboženský, politický a kulturní život na Apeninském poloostrově, ale jeho myšlenky našly širokou odezvu i v záalpské Evropě. Práce je vymezena dobou působení Bernardina Sienského a zhruba rokem 1526, kdy v jagellonských Čechách působnost řádu františkánů-observantů upa- dá vlivem sílícího luteranismu. Téma mapuje jednu odnož italské středověké estetiky a její absorpci v českém prostředí 15. až počátku 16. století. Jeho zpracování tak zaplní mezeru v soudobém mezinárodním výzkumu historie řádu františkánů-observantů a jeho kulturního vlivu.

Almost 100 Chairs for 100 People


A little book redesigning the shape and the role of the chair, adapting it to different people, personalities and body features. Interior design, illustration, comics and sociology all in one book. "It all started, with a beige Moleskine in a bookshop in Rome. It's curious how many designers design chairs, so many chairs, but nobody seems to think about the characters who are going to use them. I liked the idea that by slightly modifying the legs, backrest, seat, I would be able to fit it to the person who'd sit on it."

Photographers Cookbook


In the late 1970s, the George Eastman House approached a group of photographers to ask for their favorite recipes and food-related photographs to go with them, in pursuit of publishing a cookbook. Playing off George Eastman’s own famous recipe for lemon meringue pie, as well as former director Beaumont Newhall’s love of food, the cookbook grew from the idea that photographers’ talent in the darkroom must also translate into special skills in the kitchen. The recipes do not disappoint, with Robert Adams’s Big Sugar Cookies, Ansel Adams’s Poached Eggs in Beer, Richard Avedon’s Royal Pot Roast, Imogen Cunningham’s Borscht, William Eggleston’s Cheese Grits Casserole, Stephen Shore’s Key Lime Pie Supreme, and Ed Ruscha’s Cactus Omelet, to name a few. The book was never published, and the materials have remained in George Eastman House’s collection ever since. Now, forty years later, this extensive and distinctive archive of untouched recipes and photographs are published in The Photographer’s Cookbook for the first time. The book provides a time capsule of contemporary photographers of the 1970s?many before they made a name for themselves?as well as a fascinating look at how they depicted food, family, and home, taking readers behind the camera and into the hearts, and stomachs of some of photography’s most important practitioners.

How to Be Chap


A tweed suit, pipe, umbrella, and hat; a large dose of British humor and no sports --well, except for cricket. The Chap is the modern English gentleman, and he's out to conquer the world. How to be Chap explores the roots of the English gentleman and follows them to the present day. Today's chaps live according to their own rules --with hats, pipes, and, of course, British humor. Inspired by men such as Beau Brummell and Lord Byron, they maintain proper English ideals and virtues. By stepping back to tradition, they're advancing a lifestyle revolution. In this book, chap expert Gustav Temple explains how a chap dresses, where he goes on vacation, which sports he plays (cricket) and which ones he doesn't (everything else). From the historical foundations of British gentlemen's culture to today's dos and don'ts, How to be Chap provides thorough answers to chap-related questions and plenty of cultivated laughs.

Family Photography Now

The Essential Joseph Beuys


Subject to passionate controversy during his lifetime, the work of Joseph Beuys is now considered one of the most significant and influential contributions to twentieth-century fine arts. This book provides a survey of Beuys's oeuvre, which he viewed as part of a larger, philosophically based practice emphasising direct democracy, free access to education and the restructuring of society to meet ecological requirements. A total of 152 works from Beuys's many fields of activity - drawings and watercolours, prints and multiples, sculpture and objects, spaces and actions - are arranged in chronological order, demonstrating the artist's formal versatility, creative richness and conceptual depth. The peculiar poetry of the materials Beuys used - felt, grease, honey, wax, copper and sulfur - emerges along with the gentle melancholy suffusing the work of this sensitive agent provocateur. Alain Borer analyses Beuys's motivation with special reference to the artist's written and spoken statements. The book is an informed introduction to the artistic work and conceptual world of Joseph Beuys, for anyone interested in art.

Art in the Making


Today's artists have an unprecedented level of choice with regard to materials and methods available to them, yet the processes involved in making artworks are rarely addressed in books or exhibitions on art. Here, Glenn Adamson and Julia Bryan-Wilson argue that the materials and methods used to make artworks hold the key to artists' motivations, their attitudes to authorship, uniqueness and the value of objects, the economic and social contexts from which they emerge, and their approach to the perceived opposition between materiality and conceptualism in art. The book's introduction sets out a history of trends in artistic production and the possible catalysts for the proliferation of production strategies since the mid-twentieth century, followed by nine chapters that explore different methods and media. Detailed examples are interwoven with the discussion, including visuals that reveal the intricacies of each technique or material and its overall effect when presented as an artwork. Artists featured include Ai Weiwei, Ron Arad, Chris Burden, Katharina Fritsch, Isa Genzken, Jeff Koons, Los Carpinteros, Haroon Mirza, Takashi Murakami, Gerhard Richter, Doris Salcedo and Santiago Sierra.

David Hanvald


David Hanvald (narozen 1980 v Liberci) patří k nejsledovanějším českým umělcům mladší střední generace. Ve svém malířském díle přehodnocuje a zpracovává zejména podněty, myšlenky a tvorbu modernistických autorů 20. století. Vzniká tak osobitá, barevně akcentovaná, syntéza postupů modernistických avantgard s postkonceptuálními malířskými trendy současnosti, která nabourává klasické vnímání malovaného obrazu. Monografie Davida Hanvalda, mapující jeho práci z posledních let, je důkazem aktuálnosti malířského média a přináší čtenáři potěšení z kreativní umělecké práce. David Hanvald (born 1980 in Liberec) is one of the most sought-after Czech artists of his generation. In his paintings, he reevaluates and works with the ideas, impulses, and work of 20th-century modern artists. The result is a distinctive and colorful synthesis of modernist avant-garde approaches with contemporary post-conceptual tendencies that breaks down the usual way we perceive the painted image. This monograph of Hanvald’s works from recent years provides evidence that the medium of painting has retained its currency, while also offering readers a sense of delight from creative artistic work.
