Pavel Reisenauer je známý především jako autor originálních titulních stran a ilustrací pro týdeník Respekt, které byly po desítky let nezaměnitelnou součástí českého mediálního prostoru.

Banksy's Lost Works


In this richly illustrated landmark book, author and journalist Will Ellsworth-Jones documents the sold, stolen and destroyed works of Banksy, one of the most renowned and controversial artists of our time. This is a book about what you can’t see: the works that have disappeared entirely, whether destroyed by authorities or whisked into people’s private art collections to languish on walls or in collector’s vaults. These remarkable works are as elusive as their creator, but are returned here for public consumption and enjoyment. A victim of his own success, Banksy is famous the world over and yet more famously disdainful of the spotlight, preferring to remain anonymous. Considered by many to be one of the greatest living artists in the world and to others a rogue vandal with a political agenda, Banksy has scandalised and enlightened the art world since his acts of guerrilla art began to appear on the streets of Barton Hill in Bristol over 25 years ago. His artworks can now be found on streets across the globe, adorning the walls of some of the world's most distinguished galleries and even being sold for millions at private auctions. Works unveiled in Banksy's Lost Works include:• The pieces painted on partially destroyed buildings around Kyiv, Ukraine, one of which has already been cut off the wall by a group of locals. • Valentine’s Day Mascara in Margate that has now been restored and housed in Dreamland after several interventions by Thanet District Council. • Banksy’s disappearing rats, an early symbol of the artist routinely painted over by councils when the name Banksy was more synonymous with ‘vandal’ than ‘artist’. This book, showcasing the often mysterious and occasionally mundane disappearances of works by one of the art world's more elusive figures, is a truly indispensable addition to the library of any Banksy fan. Sold, stolen or destroyed, discover Banksy’s works that have disappeared from the wall.

Northern Lights


The Forest in modernist art The fascination of the North is enduring: vast, impenetrable coniferous forests on the edge of the Arctic polar region, "white" summer nights, the long darkness of snowy winters and the famous Northern Lights exert a magical attraction. The Fondation Beyeler is dedicating an exhibition to this global phenomenon with landscape paintings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries from Scandinavia, Finland and Canada. In addition to works by famous painters such as Edvard Munch, Akseli Gallen-Kallela and Hilma af Klint, it also features paintings by artists who are highly respected in their home countries, but who-unjustly-have been virtually unknown in Central Europe until now. The Nordic pictorial worlds of Harald Sohlberg, Gustaf Fjaestad, Emily Carr, Tom Thomson and Prince Eugen of Sweden are finally being presented to a wide audience. Other artists represented in the exhibition and catalogue are Ivan Shishkin, Anna Boberg, Helmi Biese, Fanny Churberg, Lawren S. Harris and J. E. H. MacDonald.

Walter Benjamin: A Little History of Photography


An extraordinary document in the history of photographic criticism. Perhaps more than any other text, A Little History of Photography by the German-Jewish thinker Walter Benjamin has shaped the way in which we understand early photography and the photographic act. One of the first theoretical studies of visual culture, this essay laid the foundation for modern cultural criticism. Instead of regarding the artwork as a unique object, Benjamin emphasized the political and artistic potential of a new technology based on endless reproduction. A Little History of Photography was originally published in the German literary journal Die Literarische Welt in 1931 as three short essays reviewing several books dedicated to early photography. In this text, Benjamin introduced concepts that remain central to critical theory of the medium: the aura, optical unconscious, reproducibility, among other topics. It constitutes a remarkably prescient description of the limits and potentials of photography which remains thought-provoking today.

Divadlo a společnost podruhé


Výbor analýz, glos a polemik Bohumila Nekolného k tématu provozování a podpory kultury a umění v Česku navazuje na publikaci Divadlo a společnost kolem roku 1989. Zatímco první díl sledoval přelomové období konce osmdesátých a začátku devadesátých let, ve druhém svazku autor shromáždil své úvahy a články z let 1998–2020. A nevyhýbá se značně kritickým glosám k našemu politickému životu ani jeho reflexi. Mnoho problémů popsaných v prvním díle bohužel přetrvává: nedostatečný zájem a podpora živého umění ze strany politické reprezentace, nedokončená transformace divadelní sítě, chybějící legislativa či neutěšená situace kulturních periodik. Přibyla i některá nová témata jako prudce klesající export českého divadla či problematika informačních systémů a digitalizace. Kniha je historickou pamětí divadelní obce, ale také výukovým materiálem pro studenty kulturního managementu a příbuzných oborů.

The Four Seasons


This collection of woodblock prints celebrates the seasons and is designed as a Japanese-style accordion-fold book with open binding and slipcased with a booklet for the text. Embracing seasonal change is an important part of Japan’s native belief system and an enduring theme of its creative expression. Japanese artists—including Hokusai, Hiroshige, Harunobu, and many others—have long celebrated the endless cycle and rhythm of nature and the fleeting transience and beauty of the seasons, depicting common customs from picnics welcoming spring under blossoming cherry trees to ritual offerings made to the autumnal harvest moon. The seasonal iconography includes recurring plant and wildlife elements: plum blossoms, irises, morning glories, cranes, geese flying in migratory formation. Some pictorial compositions focus upon a single time of year, but many encompass all four seasons together. This beautiful and elegant collection makes the ideal gift for anyone interested in the art and culture of Japan. The classic woodblocks in this collection express essential truths about the natural world and the evanescence of human experience in a visual idiom that, while distinctively Japanese, has great universal appeal.
