Patrick Demarchelier - Fashion Photographs Seen and Unseen
Demarchelier was known for his ability to capture a subject s beauty and charm in a natural way, often without ornate settings. His exquisite and timeless fashion portraits graced the pages of Vogue, Elle, Harper s Bazaar, and Glamour, with ad campaigns for Dior, Louis Vuitton, YSL, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, and have featured such high-profile subjects as Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Karen Elson, and Nicole Kidman. Demarchelier is perhaps best known for his intimate portraits of Princess Diana that helped establish her popularity and accessible public image.
Designed by the legendary art director Fabien Baron, the book simultaneously celebrates Demarchelier s remarkable legacy as one of the most influential fashion photographers of the past forty-five years (he passed away in 2022) and offers a fresh perspective with never-before-seen photos. While his published images often feature polished, high-fashion aesthetics, capturing the glamour and elegance of the fashion world, the unpublished ones reveal a more intimate, raw, and unfiltered side of his artistry. These unseen photos offer a glimpse into Demarchelier s creative process, showcasing moments of spontaneity and experimentation.
Additionally, these unpublished images often reflect a broader range of subjects, moods, and settings, highlighting his versatility and depth as a photographer beyond his signature fashion shoots.
Bring No Clothes
Why do we wear what we wear? To answer this question, we must go back and unlock the wardrobes of the early twentieth century, when fashion as we know it was born.
In Bring No Clothes, acclaimed fashion writer Charlie Porter brings us face to face with six members of the Bloomsbury Group, the collective of artists and thinkers who were in the vanguard of a social and sartorial revolution. Each of them offers fresh insight into the constraints and possibilities of fashion today: from the stifling repression of E. M. Forster's top buttons to the creativity of Vanessa Bell's wayward hems; from the sheer pleasure of Ottoline Morrell's lavish dresses to the clashing self-consciousness of Virginia Woolf's orange stockings. As Porter carefully unpicks what they wore and how they wore it, we see how clothing can be a means of artistic, intellectual and sexual liberation, or, conversely, a tool for patriarchal control.
Travelling through libraries, archives, attics and studios, Porter uncovers fresh evidence about his subjects, revealing them in a thrillingly intimate, vivid new light. And, as he is inspired to begin making his own clothing, his perspective on fashion - and on life - starts to change. In the end, he shows, we should all 'bring no clothes,' embracing a new philosophy of living: one which activates the connections between the way we dress and the way we think, act and love.

Architectural Pottery
The first book to document the history of the groundbreaking company Architectural Pottery, tracing its critical influence on midcentury design and its enduring appeal today
Architectural Pottery’s strikingly minimalist designs heralded new domestic housewares that could uniquely accent the modern home?inside and out. Formally expressive yet accessible, their refreshingly unembellished, elegant pots and planters were enthusiastically received by the public upon Architectural Pottery’s launch in 1950, soon ubiquitous in spaces representing the epitome of modern living. Highly coveted and prized in design circles, they were seen in houses by Richard Neutra, John Lautner, and the historic Case Study Houses, and featured in the first of MoMA’s legendary Good Design exhibitions alongside now-iconic designs by Ray and Charles Eames, Alexander Girard, and George Nelson. Over three decades, Architectural Pottery also developed innovations in stoneware production, expanded into fiberglass furniture, and included famed furniture designer Paul McCobb and sculptor David Cressey on its roster of designers.
A midcentury modern design enthusiast’s dream, Architectural Pottery: Ceramics for a Modern Landscape is the first full history of this celebrated and influential brand. Richly illustrated with contemporary photography and extensive visual archival material?including the records of the founders Rita and Max Lawrence, and the personal archives of designers, art directors, and photographers associated with the company?it both tells a compelling story and is a valuable resource for collectors and interior designers.
The publication of this new book will coincide with a major exhibition at the American Museum of Ceramic Art in Pomona, California.

Adventures in Animation
Triple-Oscar-winning, world-renowned animator - and author of the seminal book The Animator's Survival Kit - Richard Williams' legendary career in the world of animation is brought to the page here for the first time.
Written with his wife and collaborator, Imogen Sutton, Adventures in Animation follows the life and career of this pivotal figure in animated features, from the influential moment when, aged five, Williams saw Snow White, right through his career of more than sixty years. Over those decades, Williams created full-length features, short films, title sequences for films and hundreds of commercials - all of which were graced by his characteristically elegant, sinuous lines and magnificent imagination. Williams' place in animation history is assured: he directed the Academy Award-winning 1971 adaptation of A Christmas Carol and perhaps most famously worked as Director of Animation on Who Framed Roger Rabbit, for which he won two Academy Awards. Serving as the linkman between the original creators of the world of Disney (Snow White, Dumbo, The Jungle Book) and the current generation of digital animators (Toy Story, The Incredibles and Ice Age), it is fair to say that his like will not be seen again.
Williams' first book, The Animator's Survival Kit, and the masterclasses he ran, saw him pass on his hard-won craft to future generations of animators. In Adventures in Animation, the story of the man behind the images will inspire them all over again, bringing more animators and fans of animation to the life and work of this master of the artform.
And the Roots of Rhythm Remain
Legendary producer and record label boss Joe Boyd has spent a lifetime travelling the globe and immersing himself in music. He has witnessed first-hand the growing popularity of music from Africa, India, Latin America, the Caribbean and Eastern Europe since the 1960s and was one of the protagonists of the ‘world music’ movement of the 1980s.
In this sweeping history, Boyd sets out to explore the fascinating backstories to these sounds and documents a decade of encounters with the most extraordinary musicians and producers who have altered the course of music for us all.
And the Roots of Rhythm Remain shows how personalities, events and politics in places such as Havana, Lagos, Budapest, Kingston and Rio are as colourful and momentous as anything that took place in New Orleans, Harlem, Laurel Canyon or Liverpool. And, moreover, how jazz, rhythm and blues and rock ‘n’ roll would never have happened if it weren’t for the notes and rhythms emanating from over the horizon.

From the Cornish coast to Manhattan, Nigeria to Japan, this is the story of art for our times - one with women at its heart, brought together for the first time by the creator of @thegreatwomenartists.

It features fifty penetrating essays that examine the themes, symbols and techniques that echo throughout Picasso’s career— from monsters, crucifixions, and self-portraits to crayon, cross- hatching, and ink.

Kabinety
Mistrovská díla uměleckého řemesla 16. A 17. století z českých sbírek
Podrobný katalog představuje výběr vzácných kabinetů ze sbírek Uměleckoprůmyslového musea v Praze a Národního památkového ústavu, ale i z oblastních a soukromých sbírek. Soubor reprezentuje tvorbu předních evropských výrobních center s ukázkami nejdůležitějších výzdobných technik, jako například piktoriální intarzie, marketerie, reliéfní řezby, florentská mozaika či dekorace miniaturní malbou a drobnými plastikami. Kabinety 16. a 17. století patří k nejzajímavějším realizacím v historii uměleckého řemesla. Už prvotním posláním jako schrána pro uschování drahocenných předmětů a svým výrazně uměleckým charakterem se kabinet vždy vymykal běžným kategoriím nábytkové tvorby. Jeho kořeny lze sledovat již ve vyspělých kulturách starověku, přední místo zaujímal v luxusním mobiliáři na panovnických dvorech evropského novověku, avšak svou vrcholnou roli sehrál v éře manýrismu a časného baroku, kdy se jako Kunstkammer en miniature stal svébytným uměleckým dílem, reprezentujícím složitý myšlenkový svět idejí novověké přírodní filosofie.
Vydání české s anglickým a německým resumé.
Identita
"Kdo graficky upravil první československou ústavu? Z jaké tradice vychází český grafický design a kdo jsou jeho hrdinové? Jak vznikají písma? Proč jsou české knihy nejkrásnější? A jak se ocitla na plakátu k filmu Pelíšky lžička? Kniha nabízí unikátní vhled do světa grafického designu a typografie. Mapuje více než stoletý vývoj těchto oborů a ukazuje, jak ovlivňují společnost, ať už ve smyslu kultivace, nebo propagandy a manipulace. Od obalů přes filmové plakáty, loga měst až po navigační systém pražského metra fundovaně, ale srozumitelně popisuje fenomény, které nás obklopují doslova na každém kroku. Rozhovory s pamětníky i současnými předními tvůrci, jako jsou Zuzana Lednická nebo Aleš Najbrt, doplňují eseje teoretiků grafického designu, ale i sociologů, kulturních antropologů a dalších odborníků z Česka i zahraničí. Součástí obsáhlé monografie jsou také dosud nepublikované obrazové materiály, originální skici, makety, fotografie a dokumenty ze soukromých i veřejných sbírek."
Bohumil Južnič
Bohumil Južnič (1895–1963) byl předním československým designérem. Ačkoliv se celý život věnoval vojenskému povolání, jeho záliba v průmyslovém designu přerostla v další profesi. Významně ovlivnil rozvoj uměleckého průmyslu, obzvlášť ve třicátých letech, kdy poskytoval své návrhy kovových předmětů denní potřeby Krásné jizbě DP a Topičově salonu v Praze. Specializoval se především na design vybavení určeného ke stolování, kterému dodával elegantní, funkční tvar. Svůj návrhářský potenciál uplatnil i v ostatních průmyslových odvětvích. Od roku 1932 navrhoval textil, zejména koberce. Pro Topičův salon projektoval drobný nábytek a navrhl skleněný nápojový servis. S příchodem války začal Bohumil Južnič navrhovat první výrobky ze soustruženého a řezaného dřeva. Tomuto materiálu se věnoval celá čtyřicátá léta. Zájem o jeho dřevěné mísy, dózy a ostatní předměty, spojené zejména se stolováním, přetrvával i v padesátých letech. V té době rozšířil své pole působnosti o návrhy funkční i dekorativní keramiky, smaltovaného nádobí, hraček, šperků a bižuterie. Publikace přibližuje Južničovu tvorbu dokumentovanou návrhy z autorovy pozůstalosti i realizacemi nejen ze sbírek Uměleckoprůmyslového musea v Praze.
Leonardo - The Complete Paintings
One of the most accomplished human beings who ever lived, Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) remains a quintessential Renaissance genius. The perfect companion to the Leonardo Graphic Work edition, this book is a compact catalogue raisonné of all of the artist's masterful paintings.
Drawn from our best-selling XXL edition, the book traces the artist's life and work across 10 chapters, presenting all known paintings and drawing on his letters, contracts, diary entries, and writings to explore the man behind such groundbreaking artworks. From Virgin of the Rocks to Virgin and Child with St. Anne to the ever-beguiling Mona Lisa, you'll find some of the finest treasures of the Louvre, Prado, and National Gallery, London here, as well as Leonardo works lost to time, but no less startling in their precision and poise.
Strong Female Character
The leading film critic of her generation offers an eloquent, insightful and humorous reflection on the screen’s representation of women and ethnic minorities, revealing how cinema has been the key to understanding herself, her body image and her ambitions as well as the world we live in.
A staunch feminist of mixed-race heritage, Hanna has succeeded in an industry not designed for people like her. She interweaves anecdotes from familial and personal experiences – from episodes of messy sex and introspection to the time when actor Vincent D’Onofrio tweeted that Hanna Flint sounded ‘like a secret agent’ – to offer a critical eye on the screen’s representation of women and ethnic minorities. Divided into sections ‘Origin Story’, ‘Coming of Age’, ‘Adult Material’, ‘Workplace Drama’ and ‘Strong Female Character’, the book ponders how the creative industries could better reflect our multicultural society.
Warm, funny and engaging and full of film-infused lessons, Strong Female Character will appeal to readers of all backgrounds and seeks to help us better see ourselves in our own eyes rather than letting others decide who and what we can be.
Dada kurýr
Autentická, dokumentárně vzpomínková a zároveň svérázně provokativní kniha jednoho ze zakladatelů dadaistického hnutí Raoula Hausmanna přináší očité svědectví o zrodu a podobách jedné z klíčových epoch ve vývoji moderního umění: "Nejdůležitějším postřehem – protože dada bylo víc než dada – je, že na počátku byly rozmanité, vzájemně provázané podněty a společenská i umělecká kritika a revolta. Tyto nepostihnutelné vlivy zůstaly pro většinu z nás skryty a vyjevují se zřetelněji až nyní; v tom se dada podobá jiným aktivitám. Ve své době ale bylo vše dada a dada bylo vším."
Koledy staročeské pro kytary tři
Vánoce. Kouzelný čas, plný usměvavého lidství, shovívavosti, tradic a tím také i krásných, nestárnoucích melodií, které se již dávno staly součástí našich duší. Koledy, neodmyslitelná již součást nejen těch starých českých Vánoc probouzejí od dávných časů v lidech něco, co se dá slovy jen těžko popsat. Sbírka Staročeské koledy pro kytary tři vznikla jak z hluboké lásky k tradičním českým vánočním písním či skladbám, které v našem prostředí již dávno zlidověly, tak i z touhy přenést jejich kouzlo do aranží pro tři kytary. Všechny skladby jsou doplněny o nahrávky přístupné přes QR kódy.
