The Pre-Raphaelite Language of Flowers


This exquisite collection of paintings illustrates just how marvelously the Pre- Raphaelites’ focus on the natural world intersected with the Victorian passion for all things botanical. Short-lived but highly influential, the Pre-Raphaelite movement was fueled by a rejection of academic artistic conventions and a longing for the aesthetic simplicity and moral sincerity of medieval and early Renaissance art. But it also coincided with a Victorian obsession with botany, gardening and flower arranging. As a result, painters such as Rosetti, Millais and Hughes populated their works with floral symbols that were steeped in religious and cultural significance. This stunning book examines the greatest of these works, including portraits of Hamlet’s Ophelia, the Virgin Mary, and figures from Greek mythology and medieval lore. Each entry features a full-page reproduction of the painting, accompanied by smaller details and an engaging text that offers fascinating background and contextual clues to deepen readers’ appreciation of the Pre- Raphaelite language. As lush and colorful as a late summer bouquet, this book is the perfect gift for lovers of flowers as well as for fans of romantic Victorian art.

The Book of Colour Concepts


Four Centuries of Color The human history of color, in two sweeping volumes The earliest forms of human creativity – in carvings, markings, and cave paintings – bear witness to humanity’s engagement with color. Almost as old as these examples is the desire to assign structure, order, and meaning to this universal yet elusive concept, and it is this fascination that unites the works compiled in this expansive edition. Gathering over 65 rare books and manuscripts from a wealth of institutions, including the most distinguished color collections worldwide, The Book of Colour Concepts takes the reader on a chromatic odyssey across four centuries and over 1,000 images of luscious wheels and globes, painstakingly collated charts, and meticulous diagrams, many of them newly photographed exclusively for this edition. Some of these concepts provide exhaustive taxonomies of color, while others reflect upon the relationship of color and music, or the affinities between color and human emotions. Seminal works of color theory, such as Isaac Newton’s Opticks and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s hugely significant Zur Farbenlehre, are shown alongside rare and unfamiliar contributions, including the theosophical color systems of Charles Webster Leadbeater and Annie Besant, the comprehensive color ‘dictionary’ of Aloys John Maerz and Morris Rea Paul, and the patchwork combinations of the Japanese costume designer and artist Sanz? Wada. The two volumes also bring many intriguing and often overlooked works by women into the spotlight, including the radically inventive color “blots” of the English flower painter Mary Gartside and a botanical notebook by the pionieering spiritualist Hilma af Klint. The color systems that make up this edition are contextualized by introductory essays from editor Alexandra Loske and co-author Sarah Lowengard, while authoritative texts from the editor on the works reproduced set out each concept in further detail. Illuminating the history of color in all its shapes and forms, The Book of Colour Concepts offers a chromatic chronology unparalleled in scope.

Kryštůfkovy písničky


Soubor třinácti skladbiček Kryštůfkovy písničky pro nejmenší zpěváky je složen ze skladeb pro zpěv a klavír (Mámo, táto, v komoře je myš, Houpala se s kočkou kočka, Kyblíček a lopatička, Kámen, nůžky, papír, Kolo, kolo mlýnský) a pro zpěv, klavír a další hudební nástroj (trubky, tympány, klarinety, pozoun, fagot, kontrabas, xylofon, flétna), který vnáší do každé drobné kompozice instrumentální barvu, náladu, humor, umocňuje hudební charakter drobné písňové formy (Leze, leze po železe, Bumtarata na ta vrata, Paci, paci, pacičky, Takhle jedou páni, Šiju boty, Ten vařil, Závin, Kukačka a Kryštof). V jednotlivých partiturách je naznačeno, že lze pro snadnější provedení nástroje vynechat (senza) nebo jejich part přebírá klavír (ossia). Klavírní doprovod je mnohdy velice osobitý, harmonická složka je plná moderních spojů, zahuštěných či mimotonálních akordů, ale hudba je zcela tonální, má vztah k předem dané tónině, tedy využívá především tóny patřící dané stupnici (C dur, E dur, Es dur). Cyklus na texty známých dětských říkanek je v pěvecké melodické lince zcela tonální. Výjimečně se objeví chromatický postup (Houpala se s kočkou kočka, Paci, paci, pacičky) nebo křížkem zvýšený, alterovaný tón (Takhle jedou páni). Klavírní doprovod je však pro zpěv v těchto případech intonační oporou. Opačně tomu může být v písni Kyblíček a lopatička. Její melodika je prostá, v rozsahu kvinty (pěti tónů), především stupnicovitá. Doprovod ve formě polky však obsahuje řadu mimotonálních tónů, takže zpěvák musí svou melodiku důkladně znát, ale současně prožít humorný moderní doprovod zcela přirozeně. V těchto aspektech je každá skladba cyklu skutečně malým uměleckým dílem. Vydatnou pomůckou jsou pro každou píseň vytvořené nahrávky doprovodů (QR kódy). Některé písně jsou melodicky prosté, vycházejí jen z jediného tónu (Bumtarata na ta vrata), některé jsou v rozsahu prvních pěti tónů stupnice (Kyblíček a lopatička, Šiju boty, Paci, paci, pacičky, Mámo, táto, v komoře je myš, Kukačka a Kryštof, Kolo, kolo mlýnský), maximálním rozsahem je oktáva (Takhle jedou páni), tedy celá durová řada, stupnice kombinující melodiku stupnicovitých kroků s rozklady akordů. Cyklus skladeb Kryštůfkovy písničky vznikl spontánně pro všechny nadané malé zpěváky, jejich učitele a pro všechny ostatní, kteří zpěvem, aktivním prožitkem neopomíjejí hudební procesy ve výchově a zrání dětí.

Matthew Wong - Vincent van Gogh


A beautifully illustrated exploration of the artistic and personal connections between Matthew Wong (1984-2019) and Vincent van Gogh. Shortly before his early death, the Canadian artist Matthew Wong (1984-2019) emerged as a phenomenon. He started drawing and painting in 2011, at the age of 27, and within the space of just a few years had developed a highly personal style, using intense colours to paint imaginative landscapes. Wong's expressively lyrical works were inspired by both traditional Chinese painting and Western art. He was especially influenced by Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), not only in terms of his painting style and choice of motifs, but also in some aspects of his life. Both artists were self-taught, acquiring their drawing and painting skills without tuition, and both faced mental health issues. Wong saw his own life reflected in that of Van Gogh, and once said: 'I see myself in him. The impossibility of belonging in this world.' Published to accompany the exhibition at the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, this book explores the artistic and personal connection between the two artists, bringing around 45 paintings and drawings by Wong into dialogue with a group of Van Gogh masterpieces. Kenny Schachter, who knew Matthew Wong, contributes a personal introduction, which is followed by essays exploring the artists' biographical and artistic kinship.

Yves Saint Laurent: Flora


Produced with the Yves Saint Laurent museums in Paris and Marrakech, this book examines how flowers served as the designer’s muse throughout his life and work. Yves Saint Laurent’s passion for flowers and gardens was the source of endless inspiration. From a thousand and one rose buds to sprigs of lily of the valley, from an avalanche of bougainvillea to delicate poppy blooms, and from sheaves of wheat to majestic lilies, he metamorphosed nature in his creations. Employing flowers as a palette of patterns and techniques, he adorned women in floral appliqués, prints, and embroideries. Under the direction of Elsa Janssen and Alexis Sornin, this volume features texts from Serena Bucalo-Mussely, Emanuele Coccia, Marc Jeanson, and Olivier Saillard that explore the symbolism and role of flowers throughout the history of fashion and at Yves Saint Laurent. Archival design sketches, photographs of the collections and runway shows, and scenes of the designer at work accompany images by Sarah Braeck that offer a poetic interpretation of the couturier’s work. This book accompanies exhibitions at the Yves Saint Laurent museums in Paris and Marrakech in 2024 and 2025.

London Estates: Modernist Council Housing 1946-1981


The most comprehensive photographic document of the once-utopian London council estate buildings The UK’s landmark Housing Act of 1919 catalyzed the rapid development of state-owned public housing in planned council estates. Construction of these estates has largely ceased since the Thatcherist austerity policies of the ’80s. Fast-forward a few decades and the estates have met various fates; some council estates are now considered notorious, while others are arguably the most desirable places to live in London. As the most comprehensive photographic document of the London council estates, this book features 275 estates from the City and every borough. A huge range of architectural styles are represented: from prefabricated and “self-built” schemes to Modernist and Brutalist designs, including over 30 protected historic buildings. There are designs from a broad range of architects, including Denys Lasdun, Erno Goldfinger, Basil Spence and many more. Kate Macintosh’s ziggurat-inspired Dawson’s Heights (1972) shares space with Chamberlin, Powell & Bon’s primary-colored tower Golden Lane Estate (1962). From the paltry to the posh, each estate possesses a fascinating history, and is emblematic of a distinct vision of urban planning. This book celebrates London council estates in all their diversity?championing the neglected alongside the distinguished, and honoring their immeasurable contribution to the social and architectural fabric of the capital.

The Art of Pin-up. 40th Ed.


Everyone loves cheesecake! This book features the top 10 pin-up artists of the 20th century, from Enoch Bolles to Gil Elvgren, George Petty, and Alberto Vargas, plus Dian Hanson's history of the art form. Each chapter includes original art and associated calendars, magazine covers, original model photos, and preparatory sketches. One Big Slice of Cheesecake Pin-up travels the long road from barracks wall to high art Since TASCHEN released The Great American Pin-up, international interest in this distinctly American art form has increased exponentially. Paintings by leading artists such as Alberto Vargas, George Petty, and Gil Elvgren that sold for $ 2,000 in 1996 are going for $ 200,000 and more today. Pin-up—drawings, paintings, and pastels of an idealized female face and figure intended for public display—was produced between 1920 and 1970 for calendars, magazine covers, and centerfolds. The majority of original paintings were discarded by publishers and calendar companies after printing, making the surviving art that much more precious. This attractively priced edition showcases the top 10 names in the game. Each chapter opens with a reproduction of an original calendar or magazine cover by that artist. The reproduction quality of the paintings, pastels, and preparatory sketches that follow—largely sourced from the original art—invites the viewer to trace the brushstrokes, while the exquisite period calendars, vintage prints, and original model photos document the artists’ creative process. Much of these ephemera were photographed on-site at the historic Brown & Bigelow Company, home to the world’s largest archive of vintage pin-up calendars.

Leonardo, Frida and the Others


This fresh and engaging, illustrated history of art explains the fundamentals every art lover needs while presenting the development of different schools and styles as one continuous, astonishing timeline? from Giotto to Leonardo, Frida to Banksy. When she became interested in painting, the author would visit museums and wonder about all the information she was missing. How did one style develop after another? What meanings were hidden in these works? What were these artists’ lives like? How did their works survive for so many years? She longed for the kind of essential knowledge that would enable her to decode a painting loaded with references. The result of her curiosity is a highly accessible and vividly illustrated book that brings together the fundamentals of eight centuries of art. It covers the basics about such topics as how museums are structured, how painters use proportion and perspective, the anatomy of a painting. Jouneaux offers surprising comparisons between artists such as Sandro Botticelli and Mary Cassatt, Claude Monet and Joan Mitchell, Delacroix and Rubens. Terms such as Baroque, Ukiyo-e, Graffiti, Cubism, Degenerate Art, and De Stijl are explored and explained. Non-western traditions are given much greater prominence than in other art history books – Chinese, Indian, Australian Aboriginal, and African Art are all included in the timeline. Numerous women artists who were overlooked during the author’s own education are restored to the canon. Accompanying the unpretentious but authoritative texts are hundreds of illustrations, reproductions, timelines and sidebars.

The Gourmand's Lemon. A Collection of Stories and Recipes


The deceptively simple lemon takes center stage in the second volume of TASCHEN’s collaboration with The Gourmand, masters of the rich intersection of food and art. The star of Renaissance gardens, that shaped the Medici dynasty, have the power to ward off scurvy, had a hand in forming the mob, and whose juice has been used as an invisible ink since 600 CE to pen covert messages, these joyful yellow orbs are ripe with intrigue. The Gourmand charts the fruit’s astonishingly intricate genealogy, explores its role as a literary device for the likes of Joan Didion, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tom Wolfe, and James Joyce, and examines its unique representation of the American dream through lemonade stands. A favorite subject of art history’s giants, the lemon captivates in the still lifes of Old Masters and inspired the breakthroughs of modern visionaries like Picasso, Matisse, and Warhol. Lemons also find themselves at the cutting edge of design in Philippe Starck’s iconic Juicy Salif and the unassuming yet revolutionary Jif Lemon. Their presence extends to the decorative arts, gracing everything from Arts and Crafts wallpapers to mythological ceramics. Even the famed Bloomsbury Group found lemons entangled in their literary love affairs. Accompanying these citrus-centric anecdotes are a foreword by chef and acclaimed food writer Simon Hopkinson and an introduction by art critic and author Jennifer Higgie alongside more than 60 lemon-infused recipes across global cuisines and for every occasion-including perfect poultry, decadent sauces, classic cocktails, and indulgent desserts, with custom photography by Bobby Doherty.

The Rejects


Imagine you've made it. You and your friends have hit the big time in music and you're going to be a star. But then, quite suddenly, it's over. Your best friends don't want you anymore, and you're on the outside. Perhaps they're tired of your bad habits, they think you're not good enough, or they sense you just don't want it as much as they do. Whatever the cause, you're a reject. So, what do you do next? Featuring a player rejected by both Nirvana and Soundgarden who became a decorated special forces soldier, Britpoppers who spiralled into addiction before becoming novelists and missionaries, the terrifying story of Guns N' Roses' first drummer, super-rejecting band leaders, self-destroying rappers, troubled hard rock bassists and girl-band burnouts, The Rejects takes an intimate, thoughtful look at people who've been kicked out of bands, what they experienced and what came afterwards. Coming from a writer with twenty years' music industry experience, The Rejects is a sympathetic study of some of music's most fascinating characters, and what happens when the dream comes crashing to an end. The result is a compelling alternative history of popular music.
