Hiroshige
Hiroshige was one of Japan's most talented, prolific and popular artists. Famed for his landscapes, he was also a great observer of nature with a visionary approach to colour and brushwork. His legacy continues to influence and inspire artists today.
Over a career spanning four decades, the prolific Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) produced thousands of landscape and nature prints, hundreds of paintings commissioned by the samurai elite, as well as many illustrated books. His work appealed to every stratum of society. While some of his landscape prints, such as Evening Snow - Kanbara and Ohashi - Evening Rain, are well-known examples of Japanese art, the full range of his output is less familiar.
Hiroshige came from a samurai family, but he crossed social boundaries and devoted himself to depicting popular customs and the world around him. His work is distinguished by an air of gentle grace and decorum, perhaps arising partly from his steady temperament. His calm artistic vision sustained his contemporaries through the uncertainties of daily life and changing times. A great colourist, he stands out for discovering a subtle lyricism in the experience of travel, and a bond between people and the natural world.
Featuring highlights from leading private collections of Hiroshige prints, alongside works by Hiroshige and other artists from the British Museum's outstanding collection of Japanese art and from other major collections, this lavishly illustrated new publication celebrates one of the world's most accomplished artists.
Neobyčejný svět ilustrátora Tomáše Řízka
Tomáš Řízek (1963) je renomovaný český ilustrátor, autor knih, nakladatel a pedagog, člen Klubu ilustrátorů dětské knihy. Na poli evropské ilustrace působí již od počátku 90. let 20. století jako autor neuvěřitelné žánrové šíře, dynamického výtvarného projevu a nadání k dokonalému vystižení ilustrovaného textu. Ilustroval pro celou řadu českých i zahraničních nakladatelství. Zároveň již téměř dvacet let působí na Tchaj-wanu, kde nejen, že šíří českou kulturu a umění jako výtvarník, pedagog a nakladatel, ale především se nechává inspirovat zdejším prostředím k tvorbě jedinečných děl v oblasti knižní kultury a umění. Je také jediným českým autorem, jehož knihy jsou oficiálně doporučeny tchajwanským Ministerstvem kultury jako doporučená četba pro tamější školáky a středoškoláky. Ať už se jedná o domorodý příběh z knihy Sestřelte slunce, nebo zcela českou Erbenovu Kytici. V roce 2023 za tuto svou činnost získal ocenění „Gratias Agit“, jež uděluje Ministerstvo zahraničních věcí České republiky všem, kdo budují dobré jméno Česka v zahraničí. V letošním roce zazářily jeho ilustrace na knižním veletrhu v italské Bologni, kde získal prestižní „Bologna illustration competition award“ za ilustrace knihy Julie Liu: Pippi a Chichi vydané ve svém nakladatelství Mi:Lu Publishing. Tomáš Řízek je jednoznačně jedním z pokračovatelů skvělé české ilustrátorské tradice, kteří udržují renomé kvalitní české knihy ve světě. Připravovaná výstava je autorovou první retrospektivou v českém prostředí po dlouhých čtrnácti letech. Bude obsahovat ilustrace k prvním pohádkovým příběhům vydaným na počátku 90. let až po výše zmíněné oceněné ilustrace ke knize Pipi a Čiči.

The Power of Music
Music is what makes us alive, mindful and connected to each other. Music is what makes us human. This is the power of music.
Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason knows and feels the transformative power of music as much as any musician alive. From winning the prestigious BBC Young Musician Award to performing at Harry and Meghan’s wedding; from Bach’s solo suites to Bob Marley’s reggae; his ferocious passion shines through in every single performance, whether in a packed-out concert hall or on record.
But how was it that someone like him – a person of colour, from a state school in Nottingham – rose to the upper echelons of the classical music world? What were the obstacles that he had to overcome, what did he learn along the way, and how could a young person follow in his footsteps today?
In The Power of Music, Sheku explores the experiences and values that led him here, from a childhood of football practice and family music sessions, to his work today in the world’s finest concert halls and in the less privileged communities that surround them. As his star continues to rise, he shows us the darker side of an industry ruled by exclusivity and stubborn adherence to tradition.
With its power to transform our mental and physical health, to effect social change, and to make a house a home, Sheku shows us that classical music is for everyone, not just an elite few. The Power of Music is a celebration of music of all sorts and those who make it, and a rallying call to change.
Every Monument Will Fall
The culture war is over. If you want it to be. It wasn’t even a culture war; it was a war on culture. A sustained attack, Dan Hicks argues, in the form of the weaponisation of civic museums, public art, and even universities ? and one that has a deeper history than you might think.
Tracing the origins of contemporary conflicts over art, heritage, memory, and colonialism, Every Monument Will Fall joins the dots between the building of statues, the founding of academic disciplines like archaeology and anthropology, and the warehousing of stolen art and human skulls in museums ? including the one in which he is a curator.
Part history, part biography, part excavation, the story runs from the Yorkshire wolds to the Crimean War, from southern Ireland to the frontline of the American Civil War, from the City of London to the University of Oxford ? revealing enduring legacies of militarism, slavery, racism and white supremacy hardwired into the heart of our cultural institutions.
Every Monument Will Fall offers an urgent reappraisal of how we think about culture, and how to find hope, remembrance and reconciliation in the fragments of an unfinished violent past. Refusing to choose between pulling down every statue, or living in a past that we can never change, the book makes the case for allowing monuments to fall once in a while, even those that are hard to see as monuments, rebuilding a memory culture that is in step with our times.

Impresionisté: Jejich životní příběhy, 3. vydání
Manet, Monet, Pissarro, Cézanne, Renoir, Degas, Sisley, Berthe Morisot a Mary Cassatt – dnes jsou tato jména legendami a jejich obrazy patří k nejdražším na světě. Ale za těmito oslnivými plátny se skrývaly životy plné skandálů, bojů a vášně. Byli to rebelové, kteří šokovali veřejnost svými malbami pradlen, tanečnic a jarních zahrad. Tvořili v době, kdy Paříž procházela velkolepou přestavbou pod vedením barona Haussmanna, a sami prožívali proměny stejně dramatické jako jejich umění.
Sue Roe nás zavádí do ateliérů, kaváren a nočních barů, kde se rodila revoluce v umění i v osobním životě. Přátelství se mísilo se soupeřením, vášně s tragédiemi a úspěchy s naprostým odmítnutím. Po prusko-francouzské válce se snažili znovu postavit na nohy, drželi při sobě, hádali se, smáli i trpěli.
Tento fascinující, intimní příběh odhaluje impresionisty nejen jako génie se štětcem v ruce, ale i jako milence, odpadlíky, vizionáře – a hříšníky, kteří změnili dějiny umění.
Prázdné domy - obytné a industriální
V již třetím díle knihy o prázdných, ale zajímavých domech se vydáme na další cestu za fascinujícími místy, která se mi podařilo navštívit a zdokumentovat. Tentokrát se zaměříme na obytné objekty, tedy vily, zámky a paláce, ale také na budovy, které dříve sloužily veřejnosti – od průmyslových staveb po kulturní centra. Příběhy těchto domů se neustále vyvíjejí, a zatímco některé z nich se stále nacházejí v dezolátním stavu, jiné už prošly rekonstrukcí a znovu ožily. Příkladem je zámek Nová Včelnice, který se prodával ve zcela zchátralé podobě – dokonce natolik, že se jeho správce propadl podlahou. V této knize naleznete unikátní fotografie zachycující proměnu těchto míst před a po rekonstrukci.
Kniha přináší zkrátka to nejlepší z databáze prázdných domů, doplněné o časové osy a bohatou fotodokumentaci.

Ukrainian Modernism
Ukraine's overlooked modernist buildings are under threat from development, decommunization and war. Photographer Dmytro Soloviov has crossed Ukraine documenting them to form the most comprehensive publication available on the subject.
What does Ukrainian Modernist architecture look like and why isn't it better-known in the west?
Photographer and architectural tour guide Dmytro Soloviov is fighting to preserve the disappearing modernist heritage of his native Ukraine.
These innovative buildings are an extraordinary blend of function, avant-garde aesthetics and ingenious design, but despite these qualities, they remain largely unrecognised. This is a result of several factors, including the stigma of belonging to the Soviet era, corruption, neglect, as well as the ongoing threat of destruction from both unscrupulous developers and war.
From masterpieces such as the Kyiv Crematorium and Salut Hotel, to previously undocumented examples like the Uzhhorod Airport Terminal and the Novoarkhanhelsk Police Station, Soloviov has traversed Ukraine photographing the exteriors and interiors of these important buildings and their monumental art (mosaics, stained glass and sculptures). While the nation's attention is consumed by more existential matters, he has documented the unique identity of one of the least catalogued periods of Soviet architecture, his images forming a singular record of an unexpected and rapidly disappearing legacy.
An introduction by renowned architecture critic Owen Hatherley, complete with historical images, cements these buildings in a cultural and political context. With over 120 examples across 240 pages, this publication is the most comprehensive available on the subject.

Rainer W. Schlegelmilch. Porsche Racing Moments
In 1962, Rainer W. Schlegelmilch had his first experience of motorsport – the 1,000 km at the Nürburgring – and it was this that sparked a lifelong passion for both Porsche and racing that still burns today.
Beginning in 1963, this wholly captivating collection of breathtaking shots transports you to another time and another world, taking you on a journey through the history of Porsche endurance racing, from Le Mans to Monza, via the Targa Florio and Spa-Francorchamps. And with his own words accompanying the pictures, Schlegelmilch shows and tells fascinating stories from track and trackside.
Naturally, the cars are the heroes of this book – there’s a genuine love of Porsche cars on these pages, a real admiration in pictures for each evolution of the legendary designs. From the purpose-built prototypes of the mid-60s – the 550, 718, RS and RSK models – followed by the more powerful 907 and 908, and through to arguably the most iconic racing car designs of all time, the 917, the 962 and of course the ageless 911, this is Schlegelmilch’s pictorial love letter to his own "Porsche Racing Moments".
He pays tribute to each of them with his unique zoom technique, that converts the movement and phenomenal speed of the racing cars into a totally absorbing and almost dizzying feast of depth and energy. Whether it’s in black and white or colour, it’s as if you can feel the rush of air on your face as the cars speed by.
But while this book is perfect for those who live and breathe Porsche, there’s more to it than the cars. From the shots of experienced teams to the drivers deep in conversation, from the greasy hands of the mechanics tinkering under the hood to the stained and cracked track, Schlegelmilch takes you to the real racing world, behind the glamour and into the dusty, oil-scented universe of motorsport.

All-American Ads of the 2000s
Post-9/11, America’s sense of invincibility was shaken. The dotcom bubble had burst, there was war with Iraq, and eco-angst was becoming mainstream, as evidenced by impressive sales of the Toyota Prius.
For escapism, self-expression, and even romantic connection, America turned to tech. Geeks were the new superheroes, and the iPod and iPhone reigned supreme, both commercially and creatively. Social media began its unstoppable rise, with MySpace and Facebook pushing brands to get more interactive with consumers. Prestige dramas—The Sopranos, Mad Men, and Breaking Bad—populated the small screen, while Netflix swapped mailing DVDs for streaming content, the reality TV star was born, and Paris Hilton decreed, “That’s hot!”.
Amazon and eBay threatened the cultural centrality of the shopping mall, and every famous name from Michael Jordan to Madonna could be found on scotch, sneakers, and scents. Health and wellness fueled the growth of brands like Whole Foods and Lululemon, and consumers increasingly valued experiences, ethics, and personalization.
Featuring 10 chapters covering the full range of advertising, from food and fashion to entertainment, business, travel, and automobiles—with special mentions for the worst as well as the best—All-American Ads of the 2000s captures a time when ads still had the power to sell products and dreams in the millions, but mirrored a nation in the midst of profound transition.
