Empire of Things


'Magnificent ...groundbreaking ...a triumph' Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads 'A masterpiece, a delight to read ...a rare and beautiful thing' Gerard DeGroot, The Times What we consume has become the defining feature of our lives: our economies live or die by spending, we are treated more as consumers than workers, and even public services are presented to us as products in a supermarket. In this monumental study, acclaimed historian Frank Trentmann unfolds the extraordinary history that has shaped our material world, from late Ming China, Renaissance Italy and the British empire to the present. Astonishingly wide-ranging and richly detailed, Empire of Things explores how we have come to live with so much more, how this changed the course of history, and the global challenges we face as a result. 'I read Empire Of Things with unflagging fascination ...elegant, adventurous and colourful ...gleefully provocative' John Preston, Daily Mail 'Such a pleasure to read ...From Victorian department stores to modernist kitchens, his book revels in the things that most historians tend to overlook' Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times

Aristoteles alebo upír západného divadla


Každý diskurz o akomkoľvek type divadla v čase a v priestore sa dnes môže beztrestne odvolávať na jednu alebo druhú, na jednu aj druhú postavu z tejto trojice. Aristotelove kategórie predstavujú súčasť tohto spoločného obrazu, pôsobia na divadelný etnocentrizmus a ich starobylosť ich posvätila; namiesto toho, aby sme ich používali len ako koncepty súvisiace so systémom istého spôsobu myslenia, používajú sa ako nadčasové pravdy, ktoré navždy uviazli na svetových divadelných scénach. Ako pochybovať o jestvovaní katharsis, mimésis alebo mythos (prekrstená fabula)? Znamenalo by to pochybovať o nás samých.

Lacná kniha Klein Yves (-14%)


The artist who owned ultramarine In the mid-Fifties, Yves Klein (1928–1962) declared that “a new world calls for a new man”. With his idiosyncratic style and huge charisma, this bold artist would go on to pursue a brief but bountiful career, producing more than a thousand paintings over seven years in an oeuvre now considered a mainstay of the postwar modernism. Klein made his name above all with his large, monochrome canvases in his own, patented hue of blue. International Klein Blue (IKB), composed of pure pigment and binding medium, is at once rich and luminous, evocative and decorative, and was conceived by Klein as a means of evoking the immateriality and infinitude of the world. The works of this “Blue Revolution” seem to draw us into another dimension, as if hypnotized by a perfect summer sky. A pioneer of daring painting techniques, Klein was also renowned for his deployment of “living paintbrushes”, in which naked women, daubed in International Klein Blue, would make imprints of their bodies on large sheets of paper. Often, these Anthropométries were staged as elaborate performances, complete with blue cocktails or Klein’s own Monotone Symphony. This Basic Art introduction presents key Klein works to introduce an artist who was at once a showman, inventor, and pioneer of performance art. With page after page of the ever-alluring International Klein Blue, it is both an essential guide to a modern art master and a meditation on the unique effects of a single color.

Dream Cities : Seven Urban Ideas That Shape the World


Beginning as a lightbulb flicker or a sketch on a napkin, the landmarks and sights of our public spaces that we now associate with the vast and impersonal reaches of history all began as living ideas in the minds of spirited dreamers. In this book, Wade Graham explores the visionary works that have set the blueprint for contemporary built spaces. From the utopian superblocks of Le Corbusier to the agrarian revivalism of Frank Lloyd Wright, Wade crafts profiles of the singular individuals who have come to define the places most of us live in.

Matisse Cut-Outs


Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was a fighting spirit. Despite a cancer diagnosis in 1941, increasing frailty and the confines of a wheelchair, the indomitable Frenchman never stopped in his quest to make art. With what he called "une seconde vie," a second life, he embarked on a remarkable collage period, cutting and pasting pieces of colored paper into "gouaches decoupees" of birds, plants, flowers, and the female form.Emphasizing color and contrast, the cut-out technique generated both striking lines and vivid juxtapositions. In works such as The Fall of Icarus (1943), The Blue Nude (1952), The Snail (1953), and La Gerbe (1953), clean forms and elemental structures power a compositional force that belies the work's decorative appeal, at once tightly organized and infectious with joie de vivre. As his work progressed, Matisse's excitement with his results fueled ever-larger pieces, advancing from small works to vast wall-sized murals.

De Lempicka


Freewheeling Tamara de Lempicka, icon of Art DecoTamara de Lempicka (1896 1980) lived art in the fast lane. With an appetite for glamour and fame as much as Left Bank bohemianism, she fled her native Russia after the Bolshevik revolution and set about taking Paris by storm. Her prolific, monumental oeuvre remains one of the most vivid documents of 1920s Art Deco. De Lempicka s style deployed cool colors and tight, post-cubist forms into an at once neoclassical and voluptuous figuration. Her subjects, often nude, are sensual, aloof, and powerful. Bedecked in seductive light and textures, they command our attention but typically avert their gaze with an aspect of haughty grandeur. Her subjects include both high-society patrons and progressive portraits of emancipated and lesbian women, such as Women Bathing, Portrait of Suzy Solidor, and her notorious Self-Portrait in the Green Bugatti, showing Tamara behind the wheel. A vision of speed, sophistication, and independence, the work was commissioned for the cover of German magazine Die Dame, which defined de Lempicka as the epitome of women s liberation. Through some of her finest, most compelling portraits, this introduction to de Lempicka explores the artist s unique visual language and its privileged place not only in the annals of interwar art but also in the history of female artists and in our collective consciousness of the Roaring Twenties.About the series: Each book in TASCHEN s Basic Art series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions"

Prostor pro člověka v tvorbě Michala Škody


Kniha Prostor pro člověka v tvorbě Michala Škody není klasickým katalogem ani teoretickou studií. Je knihou o hledání jazyka, a to v několika úrovních. Je hledáním jazyka interpretace vnímání a prožívání reálného prostoru člověkem v něm přítomným, a to skrze výtvarný projev a zároveň skrze slovo, interpretující jak výtvarné dílo, tak samotný prostor našeho života. Napříč obory – architektury, výtvarného umění a literatury – pokládá otázku o významu prostoru v životě člověka. Cílem knihy je hledat možné odpovědi na to, kam se podělo ztracené vědomí zakotvenosti člověka ve fyzickém prostoru současného světa, zejména architektury, respektive veškerého vystavěného prostředí. Kam se ztratila schopnost ho vědomě prožívat a porozumět mu. Díla Michala Škody z posledního období, tedy grafitové kresby, architektonické intervence a autorské knihy, mohou být v tomto kontextu vnímána jako komunikativní reprezentace žitého prostoru, nabízející jazyk jeho čtení v abstraktní rovině, který může divákovi rozšířit schopnosti vnímání jeho vlastního reálného světa.
