Robert Frank: The Americans


A celebrated return of Robert Frank's seminal photobook The Americans to Aperture's catalog-one of the most important bodies of photographic work ever made. In the nearly seven decades since its publication in France in 1958, then in the United States in 1959, Robert Frank's The Americans has become one of the most influential and enduring works of American photography. Through eighty-three photographs taken across the country, Frank unveiled an America that had gone previously unacknowledged-confronting its people with an underbelly of racial inequality, corruption, injustice, and the stark reality of the American dream. Frank's point of view-at once startling and tenacious-is imbued with humanity and lyricism, painting a poignant and incomparable portrait of the nation at a turning point in history. This edition of The Americans is a celebrated return of an iconic title to Aperture's catalog, more than a half-century after the Aperture and Museum of Modern Art edition was published in 1968. Presented on the centennial of Frank's birth and coinciding with a major exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, it has been produced following the finest tritone printing from the 2008 edition for which Frank was personally involved in every step of the design and production. Frank's exacting vision, distinct style, and poetic insight changed the course of twentieth-century photography, and influenced subsequent generations of photographers, including Lee Friedlander, Nan Goldin, Danny Lyon, Joel Meyerowitz, Ed Ruscha, and Garry Winogrand. Now extolled as one of the most groundbreaking photobooks of all time, The Americans remains as powerful and provocative as it was upon publication and continues to resonate with audiences today.

The Worlds of Wes Anderson


In all his films, Wes Anderson turns the mundane into magic by building distinctive and eccentric worlds. But how well do you know the man behind the camera? Discover the inspirations of one of our most revered auteurs with The Worlds of Wes Anderson. Anderson’s playful and vibrant aesthetic is universally admired – but how has he managed to create such a recognisable identity? From Hitchcock and Spielberg to Truffaut and Varda, there are countless homages and references scattered throughout Anderson’s filmography, while his cultural anchor points go far beyond film and into the worlds of art and literature. Evocations of place and time underpin his work, from mid-century Paris in The French Dispatch to grand pre-war Europe in The Grand Budapest Hotel, while cultural institutions – such as Jacques Cousteau and The New Yorker magazine – are other touchstones. For Wes Anderson fans and cinephiles alike, this is an essential insight into the creative process of one of the world’s most unique filmmakers.

Women Pioneers of the Arts and Crafts Movement (Victoria and Albert Museum)


A celebration of the work and ambition of the women who were at the heart of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Women Pioneers of the Arts & Crafts Movement is a celebration of the work and ambition of the women who were at the heart of the most influential art and design movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It shines a light on the vital contribution of figures such as May Morris, Gertrude Jekyll, Annie Garnett, and many others, and describes the Arts and Crafts Movement from the perspective of these women who worked against the odds as artists, makers, teachers, authors, and entrepreneurs. Women of the era took part in, and often led, the founding of exhibitions, societies, art schools, and small craft industries. Some were activists and social disruptors while using their skills and talents to make a living. This book highlights the versatility and range of these talented women, who worked across a host of disciplines, including textile design, embroidery, bookbinding, illustration, painting, enameling, stained glass, metalwork, furniture design, and architecture. It is richly illustrated with a wide array of their work, much of it previously unpublished. Featuring objects from the V&A's renowned Arts and Crafts collection, the book also includes key pieces from other museums and private collections across the UK. 290 color illustrations

Keiichi Tanaami


The first comprehensive English-language monograph on Keiichi Tanaami’s kaleidoscopic oeuvre, which merges Japanese postwar culture and American-style comics with a genre-defining artistic output. Artist, illustrator, graphic designer, filmmaker, and art director, Keiichi Tanaami is best known for his psychedelic creations that reach to the farthest corners of the mind. Since the 1960s, he has been composing works on paper, magazine covers, and phantasmagoric large-scale paintings as a response to his traumatic experience of living through the United States’ atomic attack on Japan during World War II. He’s since made a mark on the world, exhibiting across the globe. His work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, Yokohama Museum of Art, M+, and the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC, among others. Tanaami’s work is marked by an unexpectedly harmonic blend of eroticism, surrealism, psychedelia, and American comic art, combined with pointed discourse on politics, consumerism, and pop culture. Although he has been memorialized in print form within a number of smaller, themed publications, this book is the first English-language artist retrospective, a long-awaited and highly anticipated volume. This exceptional publication, printed on multiple papers, is divided into five modules, each opened by a background introduction to the artist's key themes—Eros, Underground, Pop, Tradition, and Landscape—offering a new, exhilarating lens through which to see the legendary artist’s oeuvre.

DOM


Jana Šturdíková, autorka úspešnej fotografickej knihy Châteaux po našom, tentokrát viac ako desať rokov fotografovala život predmetov vo funkcionalistickom dome postavenom architektom Alexandrom Skuteckým (1883 – 1944). Od kotolne až po hromozvod a v desiatich bytoch hľadala pôvodné prvky, ktoré prežili od postavenia domu v roku 1936. Pozorovala, ako sa pod vplyvom používania menili, zachovali alebo odstránili. Kniha poteší okrem milovníkov histórie, architektúry a dizajnu všetkých, ktorí majú vzťah k vlastnému domovu a radi si ho pretvárajú podľa svojich potrieb. Vo fotografiách a textoch autori nápadito aj vtipne sledujú, ako jedným domom pretiekli veľké dejiny 20. a 21. storočia, ako sa menilo bytové vybavenie i spôsob bývania a ako sa zmeny odrazili na predmetoch, s ktorými sa každodenne stretávame. Práve tie formujú náš vzťah k veciam, náš vkus, vypovedajú o premenách doby i o jedinečnom vnímaní každého z nás.

Waneella - Pixelscapes


The debut book from renowned pixel artist Waneella, showcasing a decade of her distinctive pixelated landscape compositions. This stunning volume documents Waneella's unique journey from novice pixel pusher to world-renowned artist, indisputably the leading name in this reinvention of the once retro pixel-art aesthetic. The book will take us from her early experiments with the pixel-art form creating pseudovideogame visuals, through to the years where her unique style crystallized, fusing sci-fi–tinged architecture, cinematic hints of narrative, and masterful deployment of light sources and shadow. Alongside this complete catalog of her works are several process sections, walking the reader through Waneella's working style, which often initially draws influence from Japanese streets found via Google Street View. Her creative process is explored step by step, detailing the underlying structure, rigorous perspective work, and experimentation that goes into every piece. Each step is accompanied by open and humorous commentary from the artist herself?some of these how-tos will span over twenty steps?making Waneella: Pixelscapes a must-have for her legions of budding pixel-artist followers. Opening with a foreword by Japanese videogame designer Ikumi Nakamura, the book features an in-depth profile, charting Waneella's creative journey in her own words, and artworks often with detailed discursive captions, imparting anecdotal?and invariably funny?information on how each piece came together. 250 illustrations, 200 in color

Audio-vize


Audio-vize: pojem, který v prvním vydání tohoto díla v roce 1990 byl ještě novotvarem, ale různými citacemi, parafrázemi a překlady se propsal do obecného povědomí. Měl značit, že se jedná o svébytný vjem, a v důsledku tedy že studovat filmový zvuk či obraz odděleně, samy o sobě, postrádá smysl. A přece i dnes kdekdo stále odmávne kinematografii jako vizuální umění. Říkáváme „vidět“ film, seriál či vysílání, a zanedbáváme změnu vyznění obrazu, danou už samotnou přítomností synchronního zvuku. Anebo se spokojujeme s aditivním schématem: jako by sledování audio-vizuálního představení znamenalo, že dostaneme „obrazovou stopu“, k níž je připojena „zvuková stopa“ (představa, která neodpovídá skutečnosti v žádném ohledu kromě čistě technologického), a jako by každý vjem pokorně zůstával ve svém koutě. Cílem této knihy je ukázat, jak se ve skutečnosti v audio-vizuálním spojení vjemy vzájemně ovlivňují a přetvářejí. Viděné se změní, když jej i uslyšíme; slyšené se změní, když jej i uvidíme.

Steve Schapiro - Andy Warhol and Friends


In 1965, Steve Schapiro started documenting Andy Warhol for LIFE magazine: Warhol was cementing a reputation as an important Pop artist who drew his inspiration from popular culture and commercial objects. With his sunglasses, blond wig, and bland public utterances, Warhol was enigmatic, charismatic, intensely ambitious, and aware that to become a star, you needed the presence of people to document your ascent. Schapiro, also ambitious and hardworking, who in his own words "kept quiet and smiled a lot," was an ideal witness to Warhol's relentless rise from cult New York artist to 20th-century icon. Ironically, LIFE never published the story, so many of these images are seen here for the first time, scanned from negatives found deep in Schapiro's archive. Between 1965 and 1966, Schapiro busily photographed Warhol and his entourage of superstars, including the legendary Edie Sedgwick and Nico, hanging out art openings,. making his underground movie Camp, working on his silkscreens at the Factory, and roaming the streets of New York. Schapiro was also present at the opening of Warhol's first museum retrospective at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia, attended by a hyped-up crowd of thousands -the night where art's coolest new king was crowned and Andymania was born. The final stop on the Warhol express train is Los Angeles, where Andy exhibited his ironic Silver Clouds at the Ferus Gallery, stayed at the picturesque Castle, and set up and filmed a performance by cult band the Velvet Underground. Featuring more than 120 photographs, Schapiro's images are juxtaposed with tipped-in plates of original Warhol artworks exhibited during the period. The art works include Before and After, 4, 1962, Colored Campbell's Soup Can, 1965, S&H Green Stamps, 1965, One Dollar Bills (Fronts), 1962, 100 Cans, 1962, Flowers, 1965, Shot Red Marilyn, 1964, Elvis I and II [Elvis Diptych] [Ferus Type], 1963-64, Green Disaster # 2 (Green Disaster Ten Times), 1963, White Disaster (White Car Crash 19 Times), 1963, and many others. Also featuring an interview with Steve Schapiro, who passed away in early 2022, and an essay and extended captions by official Warhol biographer Blake Gopnik. Andy Warhol and Friends 1965-1966 is a definitive portrait of a groundbreaking artist at a transformative period in postwar American culture.

Tradice v obrazech


Tradice v obrazech. Objevte krásu lidových tradic, krojů a hudby. Kniha Tradice v obrazech mapuje příběhy lidových tradic, krojů i hudby a odhaluje kořeny naší národní identity. Kořeny našich předků. Kořeny každého z nás. Vydejte se na fascinující cestu čtrnácti regiony České republiky, od Chebska přes Prahu a okolí až po Doudlebsko, prostřednictvím nádherných fotografií. Cestujte v čase a přeneste se do období, kdy ženy při dlouhých zimních večerech draly peří a muži se honosili svými oděvy při tradičních koledách. Vydejte se s nimi na poutě, poznejte pozapomenutá řemesla. Objevte, co i malý detail, jako je drobná krajka, může prozradit o naší bohaté historii. Fotograf Václav Šilha a kolektiv autorů přinášejí jedinečné svědectví o české historii a lidové kultuře. Obrazem i textem vyprávějí příběhy krojů a odhalují, jak se významné historické události promítly do jejich podoby. Proč na horním Chodsku zhruba od konce 17. století nosili někteří muži klobouky s černou stuhou a ženy si na košile vyšívaly černé obdélníčky, takzvané smutečky? A jak s tím souvisí smrt vůdce chodského povstání Jana Sladkého Koziny? Připravte se na napínavé pátrání po významech jednotlivých částí oděvů, od zástěr po kabáty. Cílem knihy je prezentovat nejen české lidové kroje, ale také příběhy, zvyky a písně, které jsou s nimi svázány. I proto se do projektu zapojil OSA, z.s., který stojí nejen za vydáním knihy, ale také ji obohatil o interaktivitu v podobě libozvučných písní a tanců, které celkový zážitek bezesporu podpoří. Stačí načíst QR kód uvnitř knihy a otevře se vám celá galerie regionů. Kniha vychází u příležitosti 105. výročí založení OSA, z.s. Pro mimořádný kulturní přínos nad vydáním knihy převzal záštitu Mgr. Martin Baxa, ministr kultury ČR.
