Tillmans – autor neuvedený
Wolfgang Tillmans has explored the medium of photo-imaging with greater range than any other artist of his generation. From early portraits of his friends to abstract images made in a darkroom without a camera or works made with a photocopier, he has pushed the photographic process to its outer limits in myriad ways. For this collection of photos, his fifth book with TASCHEN, Tillmans edited his previous four books into one stream of intersecting perspectives on life around the turn of the millenium. Keeping his original layouts intact, he added some new works, bringing the scope of the publication to the present day.
Calissons Nougats from Le Roy Rene – autor neuvedený
Delectable history of Provence's traditional sweets, with 25 modern recipes The history of the calisson, a traditional French candy, is said to have begun as early as the middle of the 15th century in the Count of Provence, when confectioners created a new treat made out of Provencal almonds. Centuries later, calissons, along with nougats, are still a part of Provence's gastronomic heritage that is enjoyed today. Calissons Nougats from Le Roy Rene takes us through this history, from the making of the candy with the harvest of almonds and melons to the secrets and stories of the 100-year-old leading French manufacturer Le Roy Rene.The book also features 25 modern, accessible recipes combining calissons, black nougat, and white nougat from five prominent chefs: Laila Aouba, Christophe Felder, Patrice Gelbart, Stephane Jego, and Georgiana Viou. Filled with beautiful photographs, Calissons Nougats from Le Roy Rene gives a taste of these renowned confections in a different yet delectable way.
Plague, Pestilence and Pandemic – autor neuvedený
When the great Muslim traveller Ibn Battuta visited Damascus in 1348 it was in the throes of a great plague which killed half of the population. Even so, he reported 'God lightened their affliction, for the number of deaths in a single day at Damascus did not attain 2,000, while in Cairo it reached the figure of 24,000 a day'. Humankind has always struggled with illness and the experiences of different cities and countries have been compared and connected for thousands of years.Plague, pestilence and pandemics have been part of the human story through the ages and have been reflected on at every turn. Many great authors have left us their eyewitness accounts or survivor stories. From the plagues of ancient Egypt recorded in Genesis to the Black Death that ravaged Europe in the Middle Ages to Covid-19, this anthology contains intimate, revelatory accounts.Across the world the array of human responses ranges from rage, despair, the blackest of humour, heartbreak and, finally, hard-won hope that it may all be over before so many of these events recede into the fog of history. Peter Furtado's anthology places the human experience at the centre of the story.
The Self-Portrait – autor neuvedený
Self-portraiture shows no sign of losing its ability to capture the public imagination. Given our current proclivity to snap and share 'selfies' in seconds, it is unsurprising to find a renewed interest in the genre among general audiences and students. Self-portraits have the power to illuminate a range of universal concerns, from identity, purpose and authenticity, to frailty, futility and mortality.In this volume, curator Natalie Rudd expertly casts fresh light on the self-portrait and its international appeal, exploring the historical contexts within which self-portraits have proliferated and considering the meanings they hold today. With commentaries on works by artists ranging from Jan van Eyck and Artemisia Gentileschi to Francisco Goya, Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo and Jenny Saville, the book explores the emotive and expressive potential of self-portraiture, and its capacities to distance or to demystify. Can self-portraits offer windows into artistic process? Is there ever a singular identity to be captured? Is it necessary for a self-portrait to depict the human form? In her vibrant and timely discussion, Rudd dissects these and other important questions, revealing the shifting faces of individuality and selfhood in an age where we are interrogating notions of personal identity more than ever before.
Natures Palette – autor neuvedený
First published in 1814 and expanded in 1821 - long before the era of colour photography or print - Syme's edition of Werner's Nomenclature of Colours attempted to establish a universal colour reference system to help identify, classify and represent species from the natural world. Werner's set of 54 colour standards was enhanced by Patrick Syme with the addition of colour swatches and further references from nature, taking the total number of hues classified to 110. The resulting resource proved invaluable not only to artists but also to zoologists, botanists, mineralogists and anatomists.In Nature's Palette this technicolour trove has, for the first time, been enhanced with the addition of illustrations of the animals, vegetables and minerals Werner referenced alongside each colour swatch and accompanied by expert text explaining the uses and development of colour standards in relation to zoology, botany, minerology and anatomy. This fully realized colour catalogue includes elegant contemporary illustrations of every animal, plant or mineral that Syme cited. Readers can see for themselves Tile Red in the Cock Bullfinch's breast, Shrubby Pimpernel and Porcelain Jasper, or admire the Berlin Blue that Syme identified on the wing feathers of a Jay, in the Hepatica flower and in Blue Sapphire.Displays of contemporary collector's cabinets of birds, butterflies, eggs, flowers and minerals are interspersed at intervals throughout the compendium, with individual specimens colour matched to colour swatches. Still a much-loved reference among artists, naturalists and everyone fascinated by colour today, Werner's Nomenclature of Colours finds its fullest expression in this beautiful and comprehensive colour reference system.
Edvard Munch – autor neuvedený
A revised edition of the most comprehensive monograph on MunchThough The Scream is undoubtedly his best-known piece, Edvard Munch's body of work extends far beyond this silent howl to encompass a wide practice across paint, pastel and print. The joint effort of ten scholars, and first published in 2013 to great acclaim, this volume offers a comprehensive survey of Munch's inimitable contributions to modern art. The publication covers many aspects of Munch's versatile artistic practice, with a focus on specific themes and phenomena that characterize his work. The texts offer a fresh look at Munch's oeuvre in the context of modernism, highlighting the issues that the artist grappled with throughout his career: the relationship between art and reality, the artist and the public, and Munch's misgivings about modernism and his place in the world. With a thorough bibliography, a timeline of the artist's life, and excerpts of Munch's own writing, this monograph proves to be a most comprehensive tribute to the artist. Edvard Munch (1863-1944) was born in rural Norway before his parents moved to Oslo (then called Kristiana). He grew up under the influence of frequent family illness, both mental and physical, and would later use his art as a means of expressing his turbulent psychological state. He studied at the Royal School of Art and Design in Oslo and spent time in Paris and Berlin. Most of his work managed to survive the Nazi purges of ",degenerate art.",
The Art of Contemporary China – autor neuvedený
Fulfilling a need for an accessible, affordable introduction to a subject of sustained and growing significance in contemporary culture, this volume in the World of Art series redefines contemporary Chinese art in the last forty years since the end of China's Cultural Revolution, placing it in the context of unprecedented cultural, political and urban transformation. This book offers neither an art historian's chronological review of Chinese art in post-Mao China, nor does it join the debate of previous terminologies coined by art critics, instead, it provides the most up-to-date understanding of contemporary Chinese art through original research and informed curatorial perspectives on the selected representative work, including painting, printmaking, sculpture, photography, installation, video, performance and participatory art. It is about art, but it is also about China, and thus is not about the past, but also about the present - the truly 'contemporary'.

Ať vejde ten pravý – autor neuvedený
Zima roku 1981. Poklidný život na stockholmském předměstí Blackeberg naruší podivné události. Nejprve nedaleko objeví mrtvolu chlapce, kterého vrah nechal záměrně vykrvácet. Vše nasvědčuje tomu, že by mohlo jít o rituální vraždu. A to je jenom začátek. Místní obyvatele pozvolna zachvátí strach a bojí se v noci vycházet z domu. Nikdo z nich ale netuší, co se opravdu děje. Dvanáctiletý Oskar má zatím jiné starosti. Jeho spolužáci ho už dlouho šikanují a on se jim nedokáže postavit. Marně sní o pomstě. Dokud se do vedlejšího bytu nenastěhuje postarší muž s holčičkou. Jmenuje se Eli. Oskar se s Eli spřátelí. Jeho nová kamarádka je ale poněkud divná. Vychází ven jen v noci, i v mrazu chodí nalehko a často bývá hladová. Navíc trvá na tom, že nemůže vejít dovnitř, dokud ji nepozve dál. Přesto mezi nimi vzniká silné pouto. Pusť mě dál (šv. Lat den rätte komma in, 2004) je románový debut švédského spisovatele Johna Ajvida Lindqvista (*1968). "Všechno v mé knize je v podstatě pravda, jenom se to stalo trochu jinak," říká autor. Tento upíří horor o první lásce ze švédského předměstí, kde Lindqvist sám vyrůstal, vzbudil na švédské literární scéně senzaci, byl přeložen do řady jazyků a zatím vyšel v jedenácti zemích. Stejnojmenný film Tomase Alfredsona podle Lindqvistova vlastního scénáře měl ve Švédsku premiéru v roce 2008. V současné době se připravuje americká filmová adaptace pod názvem Let Me In.

Ještě jsme ve válce – autor neuvedený
Příběhy pojednávají o konfliktu konkrétních lidí s totalitní mocí a jsou pestré jako život sám - přinášejí vítězství i prohry, velké heroické činy i lidské slabosti a vyrovnání se s nimi. Jedním z komiksových hrdinů je například Jiřina Tvrdíková, v jejímž příběhu se dozvíte, jaké to je "česat bílého medvěda" a že v sovětských gulazích bylo vězněno i mnoho československých občanů. Rudolf Bělohoubek zase vypráví, jak mu zavraždili oba rodiče, jen pár kilometrů od Berouna, během poválečného divokého odsunu Němců. Nechybí ani příběhy z období normalizace a mezi komiksovými hrdiny vystupuje i spolupracovník Státní bezpečnosti. Osud "estébáka", který promluvil o svém selhání, zpracoval v komiksu Chytřejší než oni Tomáš Kučerovský.

The Great Journeys in History – autor neuvedený
Marco Polo, Ferdinand Magellan, David Livingstone, Amelia Earhart, Neil Armstrong: these are some of the greatest travellers of all time. This book chronicles their stories and many more, describing epic voyages of discovery from the extraordinary migrations out of Africa by our earliest ancestors to the latest voyages into space. In antiquity, we follow Alexander the Great to the Indus and Hannibal across the Alps, in medieval times we trek beside Genghis Khan and Ibn Battuta.The Renaissance brought Columbus to the Americas and the circumnavigation of the world. The following centuries saw gaps in the global maps filled by Tasman, Bering and Cook, and journeys made for scientific purposes, most famously by von Humboldt and Darwin. In modern times, the last inhospitable ends of the earth were reached - including both poles and the world's highest mountain - and new elements were conquered.With evocative photographs, paintings and portraits, The Great Journeys in History reveals the stories of those who were there first, who explored the unexplored and who set out into the unknown, bringing alive the romance and thrill of travel.

Beethoven – autor neuvedený
2020 marks 250 years since Beethoven's birthLudwig van Beethoven: to some, simply the greatest ever composer of Western classical music. Yet his life remains shrouded in myths, and the image persists of him as an eccentric genius shaking his fist at heaven. Beethoven by Oxford professor Laura Tunbridge cuts through the noise in a refreshing way.Each chapter focuses on a period of his life, a piece of music and a revealing theme, from family to friends, from heroism to liberty. It's a winning combination of rich biographical detail, insight into the music and surprising new angles, all of which can transform how you listen to his works. We discover, for example, Beethoven's oddly modern talent for self-promotion, how he was influenced by factors from European wars to instrument building, and how he was heard by contemporaries.This tour de force - published for the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth - provides a fresh overview and a wealth of material that has never been revealed to the wider public before. It's a compelling, human portrayal of Beethoven and a fascinating journey into one of the world's most amazing creative minds. 'Tunbridge has come up with the seemingly impossible: a new way of approaching Beethoven's life and music.. . profoundly original and hugely readable' John Suchet, author Beethoven: The Man Revealed'We are doubly blessed that Beethoven should have led such an extraordinary life.Laura has combined the two - the genius of his music and the richness of his experiences - to shine a revealing light on our greatest composer' John Humphrys 'This well researched and accessible book is a must read for all who seek to know more about the flesh and blood tangible Beethoven.' John Clubbe, author of Beethoven: The Relentless Revolutionary 'This book is really wonderful! ... However many books on Beethoven you own, find the space for one more. This one' Stephen Hough, pianist, composer, writer 'In a year when everyone's looking for a new take on Beethoven, Laura Tunbridge has found nine....Fresh and engaging' Norman Lebrecht, author of Genius and Anxiety'Remarkable . . .she captures the essence of his genius and character. I'll always want to keep it in easy reach' Julia Boyd, author of Travellers in the third Reich
