The World According to Matisse
In addition to being a formidable artist, Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was a prolific letter writer and regular contributor to many publications. Following in the successful format of 'The World According to …' series, this anthology of quotations unites Matisse's thoughts and artworks to construct a unique view of the world, as seen through the eyes of one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century.
Covering topics ranging from fame - 'An artist must never be … a prisoner of success' - to war and occupation - 'All is well here, but we see things that are hilarious and dreadful all at once' - art - 'All colours sing together; they have the essential force of a choir' - and work - 'When you work to please other people, you achieve nothing' - The World According to Henri Matisse paints the picture of a life as lively as it was rich.
Matisse - World of Art
A richly illustrated survey of Matisse's impact on modern art that also examines his career, techniques, aesthetics and stages of artistic development.
The work of Henri Matisse has been both a profound inspiration to his successors and a source of infinite enjoyment to all who love art. Yet the apparent spontaneity of his colour and ease of imagery were the fruit of a lifetime's arduous labour; the simplicity of his compositions the result of a formidable intelligence. In this richly illustrated study, Lawrence Gowing takes us through Matisse's career, assessing his influence on the art that has followed him and looking closely at Matisse's own achievements. The detailed discussion of individual works reveal the subtlety and complexity of one of the greatest masters of all time.
Dutch Painting - World of Art
'A masterpiece, a brilliantly original synthesis, often revelatory, miraculously condensed, and always readable' David Carrier, Counterpunch
This authoritative book in the World of Art series offers a new perspective on the paintings of the Dutch Golden Age, authored by one of the world's foremost experts on Dutch art.
Renowned art historian Gary Schwartz offers a fresh and contemporary perspective on seventeenth-century Dutch painting, one of the most important schools of European art. This lively and authoritative guide brings together a range of notable paintings from leading museum collections to explore the work of well-known masters such as Rembrandt van Rijn, Judith Leyster and Johannes Vermeer, as well as artists that the reader may be encountering for the first time, such as Adriaen van de Velde and Gesina ter Borch.
Across nine chapters, particular attention is paid to patronage and the market; reception and study; gender and race; painters abroad, in Europe as well as Asia and elsewhere; and issues of attribution. Covering an impressively wide range of subjects and styles, Dutch Painting investigates the full panoply of works created by the largest school of seventeenth-century European painters, offering a comprehensive overview of Dutch painting in its own context - and in ours - with a fresh and insightful eye.
Renoir - An Intimate Biography
'A magnificent success ... it will remain a point of reference for years to come' Sophie Renoir
The joy that permeates Renoir's paintings emerged from the heart of a deeply complex man. Even his close friends and family members were baffled by the contradictions that defined him. In Renoir: An Intimate Biography, Barbara Ehrlich White, the world's leading authority on the artist's life and work, brings a lifetime of research to bear - challenging misconceptions around Renoir's reputation to provide an unparalleled account of this great Impressionist artist, in both his own words and those of his friends.
Uniquely intimate, this biography is interspersed with over one thousand excerpts of letters by, to, and about Renoir - 452 of which come from previously unpublished letters. These firsthand accounts offer an extraordinary window into Renoir's world, bringing us into direct contact with Renoir not only as a groundbreaking artist but as a devoted friend and father, too.
Cezanne
Form, color, and light – a pioneer of painterly abstractionPaul Cezanne is unquestionably one of the most influential artists of the nineteenth century. He is regarded as a pioneer of modernism who deliberately broke with the laws of perspective in his works and constructed the world out of color and form. He thus gave decisive impetus to Cubist painting and the development of abstraction.
The catalogue accompanies a comprehensive exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler, which is honoring this central artist in its collection with a solo show for the first time in its history. The exhibition and catalogue focus on the last and most significant phase of the French painter's career and highlight key themes from his later years, including still lifes, portraits, landscapes, and scenes of bathers. With around seventy oil paintings and watercolors, the exhibition and catalogue allow us to experience form, light, and color in Cezanne's groundbreaking works—qualities that have influenced artists across generations and continue to inspire them to this day.

Šperk a figura
Šperk patří k lidskému bytí od pravěku a stejně tak dlouho velkým tématem autorů šperku zůstává člověk a jeho zobrazení. Figurální kvalita šperku přitom nepatří ke konstantám. Někteří diváci ji přijímají, jiní jen připouštějí, ostatní nikoli. Kniha Šperk a figura představuje téměř tři sta šperkových děl z bohaté sbírky Uměleckoprůmyslového musea v Praze (UPM), podpořených ukázkami z tuzemských i zahraničních muzeí a soukromých rukou. Prezentuje je v tematických či formálních souvislostech. Pravěká i historická díla vyprávějí v konfrontaci se současným šperkem příběhy skutečných a fantazijních světů. Miniaturní figury v knize střídají podání v reálné lidské velikosti i zásadním zvětšení, kdy struktury těla splývají s modely atomů, molekul i vesmírných celků. Šperk a figura navazuje na knihu Šperk – forma – obsah, která pod hlavičkou UPM vyšla v roce 2023 (v anglické verzi v roce 2024).

Petr Císařovský: Sedm bran / The Seven Gates
Kniha zachycující příběh pozoruhodného projektu sochaře a kováře Petra Císařovského, sestává ze dvou částí.
Iniciační projekt, nazvaný Sedm bran se odvíjí od počátku 90. let minulého století a základem se stala realizace brány sv. Františka, která symbolicky otevírá nejen františkánský areál uprostřed Prahy, ale i duchovní centrum města, založené císařem Karlem IV. Během času přibyla v protilehlém koutě zahrady brána sv. Anežky České. Vznikla tak díla výtvarně a ideově navázaná na genia loci daného místa. V průběhu let se zrodil nápad na vymezení celého prostoru zahrady. Výsledkem se stal projekt, který symbolicky navazuje na snahu Karla IV. vytvořit v daném místě novou korunovační katedrálu, ze zahrady by tak vznikl „Chrám pod širým nebem“. V první části knihy autor blíže seznamuje s realizacemi svých bran i mimo tento projekt.
Tvorba sochaře a kováře Petra Císařovského (* 1950) představuje unikátní syntézu sochařského citu a dokonale zvládnutého řemesla. V oblasti kované plastiky se řadí k našim nejvýraznějším tvůrcům; dokáže propojit tradiční postupy zpracování železa se současným pohledem na svět. Jeho díla nesou silný duchovní náboj a tichou reflexi lidského bytí.
The Seven Gates of Petr Císařovský
The present book, presenting the story of this fascinating project by sculptor and blacksmith Petr Císařovský, is composed of two parts. The initiatory project, entitled “Seven Gates” (Sedm bran) began to emerge from the start of the 1990s, originating from the realization of the St. Francis Gate – symbolically opening not only the Franciscan monastic complex in the historic core of Prague, but equally a spiritual centre of the city itself, founded by Emperor Charles IV. Later, in the opposite corner of the garden, another gate was raised, the St. Agnes of Bohemia Gate, resulting in two works that form both artistic and intellectual links to the genius loci of the given site.
Over time, the idea emerged of outlining the entire space of the garden. The result became a project making symbolic reference to the medieval plans of Charles IV to raise a new coronation cathedral on the site; the contemporary intervention, in turn, transforming the garden into a “sacred space in the open air”. In the first part of the book, the author presents in greater detail the realizations of his gates not connected to the central project.
The work of sculptor and artistic blacksmith Petr Císařovský (* 1950) represents a unique synthesis of refined sculptural sensibility with exceptional skill in craftsmanship. In the area of wrought-iron sculpture, he ranks among the most prominent Czech creators, able to combine traditional metalworking procedures with a contemporary view of the world. His artworks are the bearers of a strong spiritual charge and a quiet reflection of human existence.

Neutra. 45th Ed
Originally from Vienna, Richard Neutra came to America early in his career, settling in California. His influence on postwar architecture is undisputed, the sunny climate and rich landscape being particularly suited to his cool, sleek modern style.
Neutra had a keen appreciation for the relationship between people and nature; his trademark plate glass walls and ceilings which turn into deep overhangs have the effect of connecting the indoors with the outdoors. His ability to incorporate technology, aesthetics, science, and nature into his designs brought him to the forefront of Modernist architecture.
In this volume, more than 100 of Neutra's works (private homes, schools, and public buildings) are gathered together, illustrated by hundreds of photographs, including those of Julius Shulman and other prominent photographers.
Dandy – aristokrat ducha a vkusu
Dandy – slovo a fenomén, ktorý takmer každý pozná, no málokto ho vie exaktne zadefinovať. Spoločným menovateľom dandyov je koncept života postavený na revolte proti všednosti, na elegancii a estétstve, ktoré spisovatelia v priebehu 19. storočia rozšírili aj do duchovnej roviny. Kniha prináša do slovenského prostredia reflexiu príbehu dandyzmu na príkladoch unikátnych literárnych tvorcov a postáv umenia – dandyov, ktorých zlatou érou bolo obdobie od počiatkov romantizmu po obdobie fin-de-si?cle. Autor sa zameriava na významných predstaviteľov a spisovateľov dandyzmu v jeho umeleckom variante v európskom a stredoeurópskom kontexte (Stendhal, Byron, Balzac, d’Aurevilly, Baudelaire, Wilde, Breisky, Altenberg a ďalší) a hľadá prejavy dandyzmu u slovenských umelcov z radov spisovateľov (Hviezdoslav, Jesenský, Mitrovský, Gašpar, Bohúň, Gregor a ďalší).
Neko
Fall in love with cats from Japan!
What do people love more? Cats or Japan? Why compromise? What could be cuter than a book that combines the two?! Neko is a finely curated collection of cute cats doing what they do best in the world’s favourite tourist destination.
Whether they’re building their own empire on one of Japan’s dedicated cat islands, roaming the streets looking for fish and scritches or reclining at temples, one thing’s for sure: the cats of Japan are some of the cutest kitties out there and everyone loves them. Neko provides a glimpse into the lives of Japan’s feline overlords.
Neko is curated by Masayuki Oki, one of Japan’s most popular cat photographers.
Niki de Saint Phalle
Niki de Saint Phalle loved pseudo-orders, which she used to arbitrarily assemble terms and pictograms on a sheet of paper. Under the heading "I Love," for example, the sign of a snake could be found next to the emblem for justice, an orange spot for the corresponding color next to two stars as a symbol for astrology. Niki de Saint Phalle A-Z takes the same liberty and puts the many facets of Niki de Saint Phalle's work into the order of the alphabet.
This logical order is deceptive, though. From A as in AIDS to Z as in Zurich Angel, from B as in Bride to V as in Vanitas, a mosaic of concepts emerges that filters out the various levels of meaning in her manifold oeuvre and playfully engages them in mutual commentary.
A House in Japan
A House in Japan explores the home as a space where ideas of dwelling are constantly reimagined. In a culture shaped by precision and restraint, domestic projects become sites of quiet experimentation. These houses privilege clarity over excess, intent over display. Rigorous yet flexible, they adapt to daily rhythms while proposing fresh ways of living. The book reveals how Japanese homes, understated yet radical, show that even the everyday can be transformed into something unexpected.
Chanel in Vogue
The first publication dedicated to the house of Chanel and its creations as reported in Vogue, featuring iconic illustrations and photography from throughout the magazine's history and across its international editions. Vogue talent-spotted the work of a young Gabrielle Chanel as early as the 1910s and continued to report on the designer through the decades, from her seminal ‘little black dress’ to the most luxurious haute couture creations. From 1983, Karl Lagerfeld’s re-imagining of the brand also found pride of place in the lauded magazine, inspiring some of the world’s greatest stylists and photographers across the international editions of Vogue.
Chanel in Vogue includes two volumes: the first volume is dedicated to the era of Gabrielle Chanel, and the second focuses on the work of her successors, Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie Viard, and up to the present day. This beautifully produced publication gathers together the inspirational editorials dreamt up by world-famous fashion illustrators and photographers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, from Edward Steichen, Horst P. Horst, George Hoyningen-Huene, Irving Penn and Helmut Newton, to Peter Lindbergh, Ellen von Unwerth, Annie Leibovitz, Steven Meisel and many more.
Featuring iconic images as well as lesser-known photography and illustration, this book is a trove of stunning visual material, granting readers unparalleled access to the more than a century’s worth of fashion imagery. Published as two volumes in a slipcase, this high-end, large-format package is the definitive book on the fashion of Chanel as seen through the pages of the world’s most influential fashion magazine.
