Gothic (1200 - 1500)
Painting from 1200 to 1500 is a mirror of its time, marked by deep religiousness as well as progressive tendencies, by economic prosperity as well as devastating wars and epidemics. A religious perspective is joined by secular themes and efforts to achieve a realistic way of representation. These developments take place in book illumination, which is accessible to rather few people, as well as in the public medium of frescoes and, since 1300, also in panel paintings. With nearly 500 works, Gothic 1200-1500 gives an overview of the visual art of the time.
Japan
Geishas and samurais, karate and bonsai -no country in Asia has had a comparable influence on Western culture and global developments as Japan. It is a country full of beauty, exoticism - and contrasts. Dazzling mega-metropolises like Tokyo, Osaka or Yokohama on the one hand, rugged volcanoes, glittering mountain lakes and remote temples on the other. There is no question that Japan exerts a strong fascination on most people. This is also due to the people, for example those bustling suit and costume wearers who squeeze through the subways of the cities early in the morning and in the evening by the millions and who are willing to give up a large part of their annual vacation for the good of the company. Or even the ordinary employees, such as those gardeners in the many public gardens and parks who spend hours crouching with stoic calm, using small scissors to cut a tree into the right shape, leaf by leaf, branch by branch. For the Japanese love perfection, their goal is to bring structure to chaos. This brings disadvantages. A latent austerity pervades society, for whom harmony and politeness are paramount and where every word is weighed in the balance so as not to snub the other person. But anyone who flouts the many unwritten rules will quickly feel the authority of society. "You hit a nail that sticks out," says a well-known Japanese proverb. Harmony here also stands for conformity, and any deviation from the norm runs the risk of disrupting it. Foreigners are allowed, even expected, to make various missteps. Because - this is also a consensus in society - only a Japanese person can really understand the Japanese.
Vintage Industrial Interiors
Old factory spaces are often characterized by their spaciousness, high ceilings, large windows, and special finishes. This book sets out to convey the atmosphere of the vintage industrial style and the history and development of industrial furniture design.
James Tissot
Jacques Joseph or James Tissot, lived a splendid life between Paris and London during the Belle Epoque. He cannot be assigned to either the English or the French tradition. The first name James - which he adopted in 1859 - and his years in London (1871-1882) made him an artist between both worlds. The difficulty of categorizing Tissot is also reflected in his work. A continuity between his glamorous social portraits and the biblical illustrations - between the dandy and the businessman, the "ingenious merchant", as the painter John Singer Sargent called him - is difficult to establish.
Gustave Courbet
Best known as an innovator in Realism, Courbet was a painter of figurative compositions, landscapes and seascapes. He also worked with social issues, and addressed peasantry and the grave working conditions of the poor. His work belonged neither to the predominant Romantic nor Neoclassical schools. Courbet believed the Realist artist's mission was the pursuit of truth.
Spanish Painting 2 (1665-1920)
From the lavish abundance of the late Baroque court and epoch-making painters like Bartolomé Esteban Murillo and Francisco de Goya, to the appearance of Romanticism and Classicism in the age of the art academies, and the innovative and sometimes scandalous achievements of modernism, Spanish painting offers an extraordinary panorama of outstanding artists, styles, and themes. With around 450 illustrations, Spanish Painting (1665–1920) illuminates the developments from the end of the Golden Age in the 17th century to the early 20th century, and thus serves as a companion to the equally opulent volume Spanish Painting 1200–1665 from Romanesque to the Baroque.
Opravdový středověk?
Umění & ideologie v 19. století.
Katedrála sv. Víta v Praze, Notre-Dame v Paříži, Votivní kostel ve Vídni či jiný majestátní chrám některé z evropských metropolí jsou pro většinu z nás ztělesněním opravdového středověku. Málokdo ví, že se ve skutečnosti často jedná o architekturu z 19. století nebo o budovy v tomto období zásadně přestavěné. Vzhled těchto památek je, spíše než svědectvím o předmoderní minulosti, výsledkem romantických idealizací, nacionalistických sporů a ekonomických zájmů 19. století.
Tato knížka ukazuje, že náš „opravdový středověk“ má s tím původním jen málo společného, zato nám však říká mnohé o evropské kultuře posledních dvou staletí.

Spanish Painting 1 (1200-1665)
From the medieval works of Romanesque and Gothic art to the golden age of the Baroque, from the famous Beatus Apocalypses to Diego Velázquez and Francisco de Zurbarán, Spanish painting offers a unique abundance of artistic themes and styles. Intimately connected with the needs and power displays of the Habsburg dynasty and the Church, Spanish art developed an idiom as varied as it was distinctive. Spanish Painting 1200–1665 covers over 500 works.
Arcimboldo
Amusement, astonishment, irritation, even indignation: the composite heads of Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1526/7-1593) may prompt a whole range of emotions, but no one can remain indifferent to them. Combining the impact of surprise with the aesthetics of the bizarre, his art - reflecting the religious and political upheavals that shook Europe in the second half of the sixteenth century - invites ambivalent responses. For Arcimboldo, aesthetics took precedence over reality, and invenzione was more important than being true to life. A master in the art of sensory deception and an artist of virtuoso technical and conceptual skills, he created an oeuvre whose fascination is as much visual as intellectual.
Performance Now
The definitive illustrated overview of contemporary performance art.

Goth: A History
'Goth can plausibly claim to be the near-definitive word on the subject' - Guardian
Goth is an entertaining and evocative personal history of Goth music and culture, told by a true insider. Lol Tolhurst explores the godfathers of goth who established the genre's roots - THE CURE, which he co-founded with Robert Smith, contemporaries SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES, BAUHAUS, JOY DIVISION - plus many more great bands that offered a place of refuge for the misfits of the 80s and ever since.
Lol offers a fascinating deep dive into the movers and shakers of goth, imbued with his personal memories as well as those of fellow musicians, magicians and artists who make goth such an inevitable and enduring movement. Along the way he examines acts such as DEPECHE MODE and COCTEAU TWINS who helped the darkness expand. Finally, Tolhurst examines the legacy of goth music, and shows how its influence can still be seen to this day across music, film, TV, visual arts and social media.
As thoughtful and thorough as it is utterly bewitching, Goth is a timeless testament to why Goth matters - and why it always will.
Mountains
For sober thinking geologists, the formation of mountains (orogenesis) goes back to plate tectonics. The shifting of the continental plates causes mountains to form, erosion removes them again. Even the longest mountain range on earth was formed in this way: from Alaska to the Andes, the American Cordilleras form the eastern part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, where 452 volcanoes rise. And indeed, fire-spitting giants and bitterly cold worlds of ice are the main reasons for the fascination composed of fear and reverence that mountains exerted on early mankind. Mountain peaks were home to the oldest weather gods. In fact, mountains are meteorological divides and watersheds and determine the climate, and their diverse and unique vegetation zones are life-givers. Only hesitantly did people approach colossal holy mountains like the Annapurna in the Himalayas, the “Goddess of food and nourishment”. But curiosity won out, ice mummies in the Alps, Andes and Altai prove it: hunters, shepherds and priests were drawn early to these heavenly places. The highest archaeological site on earth is on Llullaillaco (6,739 m/22,109 ft): on the border between Argentina and Chile, the Incas were already building temples before 1500 AD.
The disenchantment of the peaks of the gods began around 1850 with the beginning of modern mountain sports. Today, almost all peaks from Aconcagua to the Zugspitze have been climbed, on the Eiger as well as on Everest the most difficult passages have been mastered thanks to experienced climbing skills. But the mountains have never lost their magnificent magic.
Art of Florence
In the late Middle Ages and in the Renaissance, Florence was a capital of the arts, in the 15th century (Quattrocento) the greatest art metropolis of all. Here the wishes of rich merchants and bankers met with the skills of artists such as Brunelleschi, Masaccio or Donatello. Even in Florence today, the past is present through art, from the Cathedral, whose dome rises above the city, to the squares, churches and palaces, to the sculptures in public space.
Ingres
Despite an admiration for his mentors that never wavered, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780-1867) forged his own unique style, a combination of virtuoso realism and strange distortions that was to make him one of the greatest painters of his century. Both highly praised and heavily criticized, this pupil of David and lover of the italian Renaissance, classical art and ideal beauty, was hugely admired as the saviour of traditional painting from the vagaries of the Romantics. But his work's fascination lay in his portraits and odalisques rather than his history paintings, and it is these that inspired some of the most avant-garde artists of t twentieth century.
The Art of Invention
The story of two watchmakers who established a luxury watch brand and in only a few years created some of the most innovative, refined and sought-after timepieces in the world.
This is the untold story of how two rebellious master watchmakers, Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey, learned their craft, met, established a brand, and in a few years created some of the most astonishingly beautiful and mechanically sophisticated timepieces ever made. Today they are recognized as the makers of the most uncompromising designs in the world.
The two men met in early 1992 at Renaud et Papi, a hothouse of new watchmaking ideas in Le Locle in the Swiss Jura Mountains. They teamed up and launched Greubel Forsey in 2004 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, refusing to accept that everything had already been invented in watchmaking. Going against the grain, they focused their energy on uncompromising innovation and the most difficult elements of hand finishing, bringing back a level of excellence that would rival the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century masters.
Greubel and Forsey are responsible for many inventions that have advanced watchmaking expertise to new levels as well as creating thirty unique and original calibres since 2004.

Imaginární muzeum
Problém reprodukce či reprodukovatelnosti je kanonickým motivem úvah o fotografii a ztělesněním její hraniční povahy. Mezi nejvýznamnější příspěvky k této diskusi patří teoreticko-kurátorská koncepce „imaginárního muzea“ Andrého Malrauxe; její hlavní rysy shrnul v eseji vydané v roce 1947 a revidované v letech 1951 a 1965. Fotografická reprodukce se pro něj stává organizačním principem dějin světového umění, meta-médiem, umožňujícím transformaci obrazů v zájmu jejich porovnávání a uspořádávání. Fotografické imaginární muzeum tak lze zároveň chápat jako historický předvoj a předpoklad soudobých databází obrazů, určených ke strojovému zpracování. Český překlad Malrauxovy eseje doplňuje doslov Tomáše Dvořáka, který rozlišuje dva modely (chápání) rozmnožování obrazů: reprodukci originálu a sériovou výrobu.
Hokusai's Method
An omnibus edition collecting 15 volumes of Hokusai’s dedicated drawing manuals, ‘e-tehon’. Of the 300 or so printed books Hokusai created in his lifetime, a huge proportion of these were dedicated drawing manuals, known as e-tehon (drawing models). They show not only Hokusai’s great proficiency as a draughtsman, but also his wealth of ideas, and his sense of humour.
This omnibus edition collects 15 volumes of Hokusai's e-tehon, which feature over 800 illustrations of instructions from 1812 to 1848. With every page faithfully reproduced against the original works, the book shows Hokusai's playful approach to drawing with amusing songs, pictures comprised of letterforms (a forerunner to today’s emoji), modern designs for craftsmen, and, yes, dance moves. This all-encompassing endeavour also includes a valuable work that he published just before his death.
This was his magnum opus, serving to 'preserve everything I’ve learned'. Note to Readers The pages in this volume are ordered according to the Japanese system. Please turn to the back of the book to begin reading.
