Gangster movie, Western, film noir, rom com, screwball, musical, even the Biblical epic... There are few genres left untouched and untwisted by sibling visionaries Joel and Ethan Coen. Since 1984's Blood Simple, the inscrutable brothers have effortlessly forged their own cinematic path, avoiding prevailing trends while crafting bold, stylish and witty movies that feel fresh and distinctive despite being deeply rooted in their creators' filmic passion and knowledge. This is a definitive guide to that path, bringing the reader through Joel and Ethan's 20 features (not counting the mezzanine) and exploring the themes, the tropes, the gags, the familiar faces - while also taking in all the Coen curios that litter this quirkily winding byway. From Texas to Minnesota, from Homer to Shakespeare, from Bluegrass to Busby Berkeley, from wrestling to bowling, from lost hats to severed toes, this book covers everything that one might reasonably consider (to use a word that would likely make Joel and Ethan wince) 'Coenesque'... And then some.

The direct sequel to a classic photobook. An exceptional selection of photographs from Daido Moriyama's seminal magazine publication from 2017 to today. Between June 1972 and July 1973, Daido Moriyama produced his own magazine publication, Kiroku, which was then referred to as Record. It became a diaristic journal of his work as it developed. In 2006, encouraged by the Japanese publisher Akio Nagasawa, Moriyama was able to resume publication of Record. The first thirty issues of Record were edited by Mark Holborn into the now classic 2017 photobook of the same title. Daido Moriyama: Record 2, also edited by Mark Holborn, picks up from where the original left off, with a selection of images and texts by Moriyama from issues thirty-one to fifty of the magazine. With Moriyama now in his eighties, Record 2 will likely be the end of the story. But despite his advancing years, the work is unmistakably Moriyama's aesthetic?fiercely contrasted images with fragmentary, intensely composed frames that express the vision of one of the greatest photographers. 270 color illustrations

A dazzling new history of the world and a popular introduction to art history by a renowned expert To read most histories of art, you might be forgiven for supposing that great artists are superhuman, and the knowledge of different movements, periods and styles is essential to truly appreciate art. It's time to look at art in a new way. THE POWER OF ART delves into the stories behind remarkable acts of creation in fifteen global cities at pivotal moments of artistic brilliance. It shows how art is an integral part of our daily lives, embedded in the very fabric of our existence. From the enduring wonders of ancient Babylon to the menacing pastel architecture of contemporary Pyongyang, eminent curator Caroline Campbell intertwines the stories of artists with the broader social, cultural and political landscapes of their time. In each vivid episode, Campbell reveals how art, in all its forms, is a testament to humanity's inventiveness and ingenuity: it has served our fundamental needs for shelter, sustenance, spirituality, pleasure, order and community. But it can also evoke envy, anger, greed, and even be used as a means of social control. Spanning thousands of years of creativity, THE POWER OF ART will ignite your imagination and open your eyes to the art that surrounds us, whether it be a painting in a gallery, a public sculpture or an everyday object with hidden beauty.

The paint-loaded palettes of fifty world-renowned artists are displayed alongside the paintings the artists created using those hues, and the colours and brushstrokes employed are analysed to uncover surprising new stories about each artist and their work. Presented broadly chronologically, the artists featured in this revelatory book range from those working in the 17th century to the present day, including Artemisia Gentileschi, Paul Cézanne, Berthe Morisot, Vincent Van Gogh, Wassily Kandinsky, Georgia O’Keeffe and Bridget Riley. Each artist’s palette – whether photographed or visible in self-portraits – is paired with one or more works by the artist that reflect the colours of the paint remaining on the palette. Colour expert and art historian Alexandra Loske skilfully analyses each artist’s colour palette and brushstrokes to reveal not only exactly how they used colour in their work but also to tell the story of their journey with colour and the influence of their approach on the wider culture to which they belonged. For example, Georges Seurat meticulously arranged the paints on his palette in prismatic order, isolating the colours and pairing each with a blot of white paint. His pointillist technique was equally apparent on his palette and his canvas. Kerry James Marshall uses blots of zinc white and smears of pale pink on the surfaces of symbolically oversized white palettes held by black artists in his portraits, raising provocative questions about the role of colour in the story of black history and white western art. The Artist’s Palette will appeal to an art history audience, a wider audience eager to learn more about the use of colour by the great artists and amateur painters looking for inspiration in the creation of their own work.

Global in reach, it features historic works from pioneering artists such as Analivia Cordeiro, Eduardo Mac Entyre, Manfred Mohr, Vera Molnar, and Frieder Nake, alongside renowned contemporary artists such as Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, Harm van den Dorpel, Trevor Paglen, Anna Ridler, and Nye Thompson.

'For years now, I've been taking fugitive snaps of my band, Radiohead. I've tried to catch out my friends with my small black Yashica T4 Super. They are so lost in their own moment of performance that they don't see me with the camera.' Colin Greenwood How to Disappear is bassist Colin Greenwood's stunning portrait of Radiohead in his own photographs. Two decades in the making, he takes us on a journey into the heart of the 21st-century's most influential band, a maverick collective who have vastly broadened our musical landscape while they dominate and distort it. On stage, backstage, in the rehearsal room, behind the scenes, on tour, at work and at play, Colin's photographs, and the stories and memories they evoke for him in his accompanying text, form an intimate portrait of the musical and cultural iconoclasts as they travel through 'our middle years: all the joy and doubt and confidence and uncertainty we would oscillate between'.

Ernst Hans Gombrich (1909–2001) je bezesporu nejznámějším a nejpopulárnějším historikem umění dvacátého století. Široká veřejnost ho zná jako autora Příběhu umění, fascinujícího bestselleru, jehož se ve světě prodalo přes šest milionů výtisků. Byl však především uznávaným badatelem a teoretikem v oblasti umění, jehož podnětné odborné práce si zaslouží pozornost. Kniha Gombrich. Tajemství obrazu a jazyk umění je především čtivým a přístupným úvodem do dějin a teorie umění. Jejím cílem není, řečeno s Gombrichem, poskytovat čtenáři výčet suchých dat, periodizací a nezáživných popisů známých děl, ale chce je naučit obrazy pozorně vnímat a dějinám umění skutečně porozumět. Kniha vznikla na základě autorova dlouholetého zájmu o otázky spojené se vznikem a interpretací uměleckého díla. Neomezuje se pouze na dějiny umění, ale pohybuje se i v oblasti estetiky, filosofie, psychologie a také sociobiologie, přičemž odkazuje jak na významné Gombrichovy vídeňské současníky, kteří ho ovlivnili (např. filosofa Karla R. Poppera či etologa Konrada Lorenze), tak na jeho následovníky zabývající se psychologií obrazového znázorňování. Úspěšná publikace, označovaná kritikou za „druhý příběh umění“, vychází v pátém vydání, tentokrát v měkké vazbě s barevnými reprodukcemi.

Star Wars exploded onto our cinema screens in 1977, and the world has not been the same since. After watching depressing and cynical movies throughout the early 1970s, audiences enthusiastically embraced the positive energy of the Star Wars universe as they followed moisture farmer Luke Skywalker on his journey through a galaxy far, far away, meeting extraordinary characters like mysterious hermit Obi-Wan Kenobi, space pirates Han Solo and Chewbacca, loyal droids C-3PO and R2-D2, bold Princess Leia and the horrific Darth Vader, servant of the dark, malevolent Emperor. Writer, director, and producer George Lucas created the modern monomyth of our time, one that resonates with the child in us all. He formed Industrial Light & Magic to develop cutting-edge special effects technology, which he combined with innovative editing techniques and a heightened sense of sound to give audiences a unique sensory cinematic experience. In this first volume, made with the full cooperation of Lucasfilm, Lucas narrates his own story, taking us through the making of the original trilogy-Episode IV: A New Hope, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi-and bringing fresh insights into the creation of a unique universe. Complete with script pages, production documents, concept art, storyboards, on-set photography, stills, and posters, this tome is an authoritative exploration of the original saga as told by its creator.

Kolem roku 1900 se na umělecké scéně v Čechách prosazuje moderna. Proces české národní emancipace vrcholí a sebevědomé české umění se více otevírá západnímu světu. Oproti tomu němečtí umělci v Čechách, náležící dosud k širokému německému kulturnímu okruhu, si svou osobitou identitu teprve začínají uvědomovat. Soupeří tak s českými kolegy, kdo se jako první zařadí do mezinárodního rozvoje moderny, ale zároveň je pro jejich tvorbu důležitá vlastní svébytnost a přináležitost ke kulturní tradici české země. Jak se tyto na první pohled neslučitelné intence projevily v tehdejší architektonické produkci? Dnes máme tendenci nazírat architekturu českých Němců ve srovnání s českou tvorbou jako méně moderní. Není ale tento pohled zkreslen naší snahou sledovat v českém umění v první řadě projevy modernosti, kdežto v umění českých Němců si všímáme především dokladů nacionalismu a tradicionalismu? Úkolem této knihy není posoudit, nakolik byla tvorba českoněmeckých architektů kolem roku 1900 moderní. Cílem je spíše představit ji jako integrální součást soudobého evropského diskurzu. Chceme ukázat, že za jejím tradicionalismem nemusely stát nacionální intence, ale snaha o návrat k předindustriální jednoduchosti, prostotě a přirozenosti. Moderní architektura přelomu 19. a 20. století měla dvojí tvář: obracela se ke kořenům a přirozené domácí tradici, stejně jako sledovala potřeby nové doby. Jednotlivé kapitoly se věnují nejprve obecnějším otázkám vztahu moderního a tradičního v architektonickém diskurzu kolem roku 1900 a dále probírají problematickou situaci německého umění v Čechách. Následně se kniha zaměřuje na vedoucí osobnosti pražské i regionální českoněmecké architektury, na jejichž tvorbě ukazuje různé způsoby vztahování se k modernímu a lokálnímu. Publikaci provázejí četná vyobrazení sestávající převážně z historických fotografií a archivních materiálů. Grafika Petr Krejzek. Vychází v česko-anglické jazykové mutaci. Výzkum a vydání knihy podpořila v letech 2018–2022 Grantová agentura České republiky (reg. č. projektu 18-04816S, Hledání identity: Architektura českých Němců 1891–1918). The Modern and the Local The Architecture of Bohemian Germans 1891–1918 Around 1900, modernism was gaining ground on the art scene in Bohemia. The process of Czech national emancipation was reaching its peak and self-confident Czech art was opening up more to the Western world. In contrast, German artists in Bohemia, still belonging to the broad German cultural circle, were only beginning to realise their distinctive identity. They are thus competing with their Czech colleagues to be the first to join the international development of modernism, but at the same time their own uniqueness and belonging to the cultural tradition of the Czech country is important for their work. How did these seemingly incompatible intentions manifest themselves in the architectural production of the time? Today, we tend to view the architecture of the Czech Germans as less modern compared to the Czech production. But isn't this view distorted by our tendency to look primarily for manifestations of modernity in Czech art, whereas in the art of the Czech Germans we notice primarily evidence of nationalism and traditionalism? It is not the task of this book to assess to what extent the work of Czech-German architects around 1900 was modern. Rather, the aim is to present it as an integral part of contemporary European discourse. We want to show that its traditionalism was not necessarily driven by nationalistic intentions, but by a desire to return to pre-industrial simplicity, simplicity and naturalness. Modern architecture at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries had a double face: it turned to its roots and natural domestic tradition, as well as following the needs of the new age. The individual chapters deal first with the more general questions of the relationship between the modern and the traditional in architectural discourse around 1900 and then di

Emil Filla, čínské umění a totalitní přízraky/Emil Filla, Chinese Art and Totalitarian Phantoms Kniha se věnuje poválečné tvorbě českého malíře, sochaře a teoretika Emila Filly (1882–1953) a jeho vztahu k čínskému umění a komunistické ideologii. Popisuje Fillovu jedinečnou sbírku čínského umění a přibližuje její vznik. Přináší také zamyšlení nad Fillovým chápáním dálněvýchodní malby, které se odrazilo v jeho textech o čínské krajinomalbě i jeho pozdních obrazech. Právě jim je věnována zvýšená pozornost, a to zejména z hlediska postoje, který k nim zaujímali představitelé komunistického režimu, jejichž často vulgarizující názory hluboce a neblaze zasahovaly do umělcova života i díla. Filla čelil různým formám perzekucí, přesto se mu podařilo zůstat až do konce života ve funkci profesora Vysoké školy uměleckoprůmyslové v Praze. Kniha vychází při příležitosti otevření nové expozice v Pamětní síni Emila Filly na zámku Peruc, který umělci poskytl letní útočiště a sehrál v jeho pozdních aktivitách podstatnou roli.
