Jaroslav Valečka


Monograficky zaměřená publikace, přinášející reprezentativní a ucelený výběr z tvorby Jaroslava Valečky z let 2010-2015, představuje autora, který se vyprofiloval v nepřehlédnutelnou osobnost současné střední umělecké generace v návaznosti na dlouhou tradici české krajinomalby a symbolistní imaginace. Kromě Valečkových typických, okouzlujících krajin s dalekými horizonty a magickými světelnými situacemi odhaluje tato kniha skryté, niterné zdroje jeho díla - odkrývá provázanost autorovy tvorby s krajem jeho dětství, zádumčivě melancholickým prostředím Lužických hor a „mrazivými“ příběhy jeho obyvatel. Úvodní studie pochází z pera proslulého britského teoretika a kurátora Edwarda Lucie-Smitha, autora více než stovky publikací z oblasti dějin umění a poezie, jehož nejznámější kniha Art Today (1995) zůstává neopominutelným manuálem současné světové umělecké tvorby. Další zasvěcené studie o Valečkově díle napsaly historičky umění Martina Vítková, Rea Michalová, a kurátorka Veronika Marešová.

Obrazy života / Život v obrazech


Kniha představuje dosud málo známá díla ze skicářů malíře Karla Součka (1915–1982). Lidé čekající na nádraží, kladenské doly a hutě rodného Kladna, fronty na ulicích, ale i náboženské motivy či Don Quijote – to vše jsou témata dokreslující malířův život a stav jeho duše. Souček bezpochyby patří k nejvýznamnějším českým výtvarníkům minulého století, díky svému dlouholetému pedagogickému působení na Akademii výtvarných umění navíc ovlivnil několik generací českých umělců. Publikaci doplňují vzpomínky Součkových žáků, přátel a dalších osobností (např. písničkáře Josefa Fouska, fotografa Jiřího Hankeho, výtvarníka Vladimíra Franze).

Lágr Barbora


Tak jako odcházejí lidé a s nimi vzpomínky, mizí i paměť krajiny. Přicházejí lidé, kteří zpochybňují pravdu. Snaží se měnit historii ve svůj prospěch. Místa poznamenaná událostmi pohlcuje příroda. Proto se musí silné příběhy zachycovat. Syrově, autenticky. Autorský projekt fotografa Jindřicha Štreita, literární dokumentaristky Barbory Baronové a architekta Václava Hlaváčka zaznamenává vzpomínky a obrazy Josefa Černohorského, bývalého vězně komunistického režimu nasazeného v 50. letech do jáchymovského uranového dolu Barbora.

XL Vermeer


His works have prompted a New York Times bestseller; a film starring Scarlett Johansson and Colin Firth: record visitor numbers at art institutions from Amsterdam to Washington; and special crowd-control measures at the Mauritshuis, The Hague, where thousands flock to catch a glimpse of the enigmatic, wide-eyed, and enchanting Girl with a Pearl Earring, also known as the "Dutch Mona Lisa". In his lifetime, however, Johannes Vermeer's fame barely extended beyond his native Delft and a small circle of patrons. After his death, his name was largely forgotten, except by a few Dutch art collectors and dealers. Outside of Holland, his works were even misattributed to other artists. It was not until the mid 19th century, that Vermeer returned to the attention of the international art world, which suddenly looked upon his narrative minutiae, meticulous textural detail, and majestic planes of light, spotted a genius, and never looked back. This XL edition brings together the complete catalog of Vermeer's work, gathering the calm yet compelling scenes treasured in galleries across Europe and the United States into one edition of utmost reproduction quality. From letter writing to music playing to preparations in the kitchen, it allows Vermeer's restrained, but richly evocative, repertoire of domestic actions to unfold in generous format, including three fold-out spreads. Many details, meanwhile, emphasize the artist's outstanding ability both to bear witness to the trends and trimmings of the Dutch Golden Age and to encapsulate an entire story in just one transient gesture, expression, or look.

Lysistrata


Aristofanes zaujímal kritický pohľad na všedné, opakované stvárňovanie komických scén, ktoré sám odmietal. Hľadal námety, ktorými by sa od iných komikov líšil svojou originalitou a zároveň poukazoval na spoločenské problémy jeho doby. Dlhotrvajúca peloponézska vojna, ktorej zastaveniu nepomáhali ani snahy umiernených politikov o uzavretie dlhodobého mieru, nedala Aristofanovi pri jeho tvorbe pokoja. Negatívny postoj voči vojne sa snažil vnášať do svojich komédií a neschopnosť politikov dohodnúť sa na mieri a udržiavať ho mimoriadne originálnym spôsobom zobrazil vo svojej hre Lysistrata. Ukazuje v nej, že muži zrejme nedokážu žiť v mieri a bez vojny. Čo by ich teda mohlo donútiť uzavrieť mier a skončiť nekonečné obdobie stále sa roznecujúcich bojov? Aristofanes na to prišiel vo svojej komédii – no predsa ženy! Keď sa muži nedokážu dohodnúť a spoločne zložiť zbrane, začnú ženy rozmýšľať, ako by k tomu mužov donútili. Ony predsa majú rovnako silné zbrane ako muži. Ako svoje zbrane ženy použijú počas vojny na mužov, nám Aristofanes ukazuje vo svojej jedinečnej a veľmi obľúbenej Lysistrate. Publikáciu doplna štvrtá časť komplexnej štúdie Miloslava Okála Aristofanes a aténska demokracia, zaoberajúca sa výchovou, filozofiou a náboženstvom.

Bettina Rheims


Since her first photographs in the late ’70s, Bettina Rheims has defied the predictable. From her series on Pigalle strippers (1980) to her cycle on the life of Jesus in I.N.R.I.(1998), from Chanel commercials to Gender Studies (2011), her work has shaken up traditional iconography and pushed restlessly at the breaking point between two great human preoccupations: beauty and imperfection. This limited Collector’s Edition is the ultimate Rheims retrospective, showcasing more than 500 photographs from 35 years of daring, often defiant, photography. Personally selected and assembled by Rheims, the collection juxtaposes renowned series such as Chambre Close with many previously unpublished archival pictures. A companion volume assembles press cuttings, behind-the-scenes material, and personal memories to trace her illustrious career. Spanning commercial work and artistic series, the retrospective impresses with each turn of the page, as much for the vigor of each image as for the variety of Rheims’s subjects and aesthetics. With equal attention to anonymous subjects cast in the street as to such global beauty stars as Kate Moss, Madonna, Monica Bellucci, Claudia Schiffer,and Naomi Campbell, the book showcases Rheims’s particular interest in female fragility and strength, and of the magic encounter between model and the artist which disrupts codes of so-called eroticism to build up a new image system for womanhood. Limited Collector’s Edition of 800 copies, each signed by Bettina Rheims.

Mondrian


A key figure in the international avant-garde, Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) was at once an extraordinary painter and art theoretician whose influence is as profound today as it ever was. For Mondrian, "the emotion of beauty is always hindered by particular appearance of an 'object'; the object must therefore be abstracted from any figurative representation." After coining the term "Neo-plasticism", he pursued painting composed only of the most fundamental aspects of primary color (red, yellow, blue) against a grid of black vertical and horizontal lines and a white base background. Mondrian's vision was that this essential painting would help to achieve a society in which art as such has no place, but rather exists for the total realization of 'beauty'. To contemporaries, Mondrian represented an artist not only of absolute modernity, but also of great integrity. Today, he remains one of the most distinctive practitioners in all of modern art, the star of exhibitions around the world, and an abiding inspiration for fashion, art, architecture, and design, from White Stripes album covers to Yves Saint Laurent dresses.
