Illustration: A Concise History


An indispensable guide to the international history of illustrated images, from 1750 to the present day. Illustration: A Concise History is a dynamic visual journey through the landscape of illustration that maps the evolution of the discipline from the industrial revolution to the post-digital age and showcases over 180 of its most iconic practitioners, including Laura Knight, Antonio Lopez, Käthe Kollwitz and Hayao Miyazaki. By contextualizing the subject within a framework of key political events, cultural innovations and technological advances, Andrew Hall redefines how we might think about illustration and the place that it has in our ever-evolving global network. The second half of this introductory volume follows on from the ten chapters charting the chronology of illustration to provide a more in-depth look at its specific commercial genres across eleven feature sections, each including mini-histories, practical career advice and biographies of inspirational practitioners who operated within the field.

Už jde...Verista v pasti modernismu


Tato kniha je první reprezentativní publikací, která je věnována umělecké tvorbě Vratislava Nechleby (1885–1965), jenž působil jako profesor na pražské Akademii výtvarných umění po čtyři desetiletí. Patřil k nejvyhledávanějším portrétistům své doby v českých zemích, o čemž svědčí jak jedinečná série portrétů prezidentů od T. G. Masaryka až po Antonína Zápotockého, tak i soudobé podnikatelské, intelektuální a kulturní elity. Ačkoli vnímal proměnlivé proudy moderního umění, obracel se spíše k jistotám starých mistrů. Veristický způsob malby a technický perfekcionismus mu přinášely obdiv široké veřejnosti a lukrativní zakázky. Navzdory dobové popularitě se osobnost malíře a pedagoga dočkala monografického zpracování až po téměř šedesáti letech od jeho smrti, a to v souvislosti s výstavou uspořádanou Galerií Středočeského kraje v Kutné Hoře, která vycházela ze záměru poprvé shromáždit a komplexně prozkoumat jeho dílo rozptýlené v mnoha institucionálních i soukromých sbírkách a zároveň ho zařadit do kontextu umění 20. století

Hannah Dale, the artist and founder of the award-winning nature-centric gift company Wrendale Designs, takes you through a year on her farm in rural Lincolnshire where, alongside her husband, she has undertaken an ambitious rewilding project. Together, they are attempting to return the land to nature and increase the number of species their land is able to support. A Wilding Year explores how one family have been able to embrace the beauty to be found in untidy landscapes, heralding the return of skylarks, meadow pipits, hobbies, polecats and many more species to their farm. The land was originally claimed from marshy wetlands, and leaning into the land's natural inclination to be wet has also yielded amazing ponds and pond life. This rewilding journey has also provided Hannah with new sources of inspiration for her paintings. A Wilding Year is both a journal and a sketchbook, in which Hannah keeps a visual record of the incredible variety of species she finds on the farm. This fascinating account of a year spent in nature brings to life the beauty and power of wildlife in every season.

Interwar


British architecture between the wars is most famous for the rise of modernism - the flat roofs, clean lines and concrete of the Isokon flats in Hampstead and the Penguin Pool at London Zoo - but the reality was far more diverse. As the modernists came of age and the traditionalists began to decline, there arose a rich variety of styles and tastes in Britain and across the empire, a variety that reflected the restless zeitgeist of the years before the Second World War. At the time of his death in 2017, Gavin Stamp, one of Britain's leading architectural critics, was at work on a deeply considered account of British architecture in the interwar period, correcting what he saw as the skewed view of earlier historians who were unable to see past modernism. Beginning with a survey of the modern movement after the armistice, Interwar untangles the threads that link lesser-known movements like the Egyptian revival with the enduring popularity of the Tudorbethan, to chronicle one of Britain's most dynamic architectural periods. The result is more than an architectural history - it is the portrait of a changing nation. As an account of the period that still shapes much of Britain's towns and cities, Gavin Stamp's final work is the definitive history of British architecture between the Great War and the Blitz.

Mademe


Through images both intimate and provocative Erin Magee, founder of MadeMe, presents the first comprehensive monograph of the one of first streetwear brands “by girls for girls.” MadeMe rose to acclaim during a time when female and queer perspectives were missing from the streetwear landscape. Inspired by the energy of the 1990s when a female-first ethos was actively shaping music, clothing and culture, Magee has fostered the same spirit of enthusiasm for a new generation of it-girls, championing a truly singular and radically instinctive take on femininity. In the brand’s early days, Magee enlisted the likes of Coco Gordon-Moore (Kim Gordon’s daughter) and Princess Nokia to star in campaigns while mentoring industry heavyweights like Paloma Elsesser, Lourdes Leon, Amandla Stenberg, and Beatrice Domond. The brand's essence is reinforced by these dynamic, emotionally charged interactions with females across generations becoming more of an ecosystem than a brand. The MadeMe girl is radical because she rebels against the concept of who society says she should be, she is defiant because she is true–this feeling is always embodied through the garments she wears and the choices she makes. Communicating through ideas and interests across music, art, fashion, and culture, MadeMe has collaborated with the likes of Doc Martens, Nike, Fruits, Vans, Converse, and X-Girl, translating its youthful design language to like-minded audiences through energetic design codes. Arranged by pure feeling rather than in a traditional chronological order, this publication features an extensive range of voices and talents harnessed by the brand over the years including artwork by musician, Cody Critcheloe (SSION), artists, Ally Bo, Shana Sadeghi-Ray, Aneko, and photographer, Petra Collins.

Ambush


The first large-format book on AMBUSH®, one of the most influential ready-to-wear and jewelry brands to come out of Japan in the last two decades. Offering a deep dive into the brand’s teeming archive, this intuitively engineered monograph is a sleek essential for lovers of fashion, as well as streetwear enthusiasts and tech-driven lifestyle culture. Founded in Tokyo in 2008, AMBUSH® first gained notoriety for creating the “POW!®” line of rings and chains, a design heavily indebted to American pop-art and manga which took the world of hip-hop by storm. A multi-disciplinary fashion, jewelry and design collective, AMBUSH® is the brainchild of Korean-American designer YOON and Korean-Japanese music producer VERBAL. Championed from the very outset by the likes of Pharrell, NIGO® and Colette, YOON’s jewelry designs often include bold motifs as seen in collections drawn from everyday objects such as office stationery, safety pins, and disposable lighters. With apparel as a canvas to complete the aesthetic YOON envisioned, AMBUSH® evolved into designing unisex ready-to-wear collections. Growing into a full fashion line that often draws inspiration from subcultures and countercultures, AMBUSH® grew a devoted following well beyond Tokyo. The brand’s uniquely crafted parts form an idiosyncratic style that led to commissions and collaborations with an illustrious list that includes Louis Vuitton (Kim Jones), sacai, UNDERCOVER, Off-White, Moët & Chandon, Bvlgari, Nike, CONVERSE, Rimowa, and GENTLE MONSTER.

Alfred Piffl. Architekt s dušou pamiatkara


Monografia Alfred Piffl / Architekt s dušou pamiatkara je exkluzívnym príspevkom ku komplexnému poznaniu osobného a odborného profilu výnimočnej osobnosti, akým nestor architektonického vzdelávania na Slovensku, prvý dekan Fakulty architektúry STU v Bratislave prof. Dr. Ing. arch. Alfred Piffl, CSc. (1907 – 1972 ) bol. V jeho všestrannom diele sa od počiatku prelínal architektonický, vedeckovýskumný, pedagogický a umelecký rozmer ako reflexia interdisciplinárneho prístupu k dejinám architektúry či záchrane architektonického dedičstva na území bývalého Československa. Profesor Piffl zanechal po sebe mnohostranné a v mnohých ohľadoch stále nedocenené dielo, ktorý sa v najväčšej miere prejavil v rámci záchrany a rekonštrukcie Bratislavského hradu. A hoci sa neskôr stal obeťou totalitného režimu a jeho meno nadlho zapadlo nielen v súvislosti s obnovou Hradu do zabudnutia, jednako stál pri zrode a realizácii najrozsiahlejšej pamiatkarskej akcie na Slovensku vôbec. Práve v zápase o Bratislavský hrad sa naplno prejavili nielen jeho ľudské i odborné kvality, ale najmä mnohodimenzionálna komplexnosť architekta, pamiatkara, historika architektúry, pedagóga, archeológa, vedca bádateľa, ale i poeta či umelca, zachytávajúceho kresbou čaro okamihu či presnosť architektonického detailu. Tieto danosti ho predurčili na to, aby pamiatkam pri ich obnove neraz symbolicky vdýchol druhý život a pred budúcimi generáciami poodhalil tajomstvá ruín i archeologických nálezov.

Pracující dívka


Toužíme po umění a sexu, protože toužíme po lidské autenticitě, čistých emocích a kráse. A přesto se obojí v kapitalistické společnosti stává komoditou a kapitálem. Vedena osobní zkušeností nás Sophia Giovannitti provádí reáliemi umělecké a sexuální práce, aby prozkoumala jejich blízkost a vzájemné podmiňování. S přesností a pečlivostí odhaluje materiální podmínky sexu a umění a ptá se: Můžeme tuto nevyvratitelnou realitu využít ve svůj prospěch a svou svobodu? Jak si vzít vše, aniž bychom museli dávat sebe samotné? Díky poutavé kombinaci osobních příběhů, kritické (auto)teorie a exkurzů do dějin umění a sex práce lze považovat Pracující dívku za zásadní dílo současné feministické teorie umění. Sophia Giovannitti nám ukazuje, jak pro sebe ukořistit to, čeho si ceníme nejvíc, aniž bychom byli někomu dlužni. Řečeno autorčinými slovy: „Nechci, aby mi kdokoli cokoli bral. Chci svobodně dávat nebo prodávat.“

P. Augustin Schenkirž OSB (1736–1797): Benediktinský mnich a skladatel


Monografie o životě a díle P. A. Schenkirže, českého skladatele druhé poloviny 18. století, obsahuje řadu unikátních a dosud neznámých faktů zjištěných nejenom pečlivým studiem nově objevených pramenů z českých kostelních kůrů zpracovávaných v rámci programu DKRVO, oblast 2. hudební věda (Litomyšl, Teplice), ale také z rakouských klášterů. Studiem Souborného hudebního katalogu NK ČR a katalogu RISM se podařilo určit dataci děl a identifikovat i řadu autografů. Zcela novým zjištěním je skutečnost, že Schenkirž byl též nevšedně talentovaným hudebním dramatikem, o čemž svědčí úspěšné uvedení jeho nově identifikované hudby k pastorální gratulační divadelní hře pražským Národním divadlem. Tematický katalog Schenkiržových děl je zpracován jako příloha monografie v elektronické podobě. Publikace vychází česky se souběžným anglickým překladem v ediční řadě Hudebního oddělení NK ČR Varia de musica.
