Discover art that dared to be different, risked reputations and put careers in jeopardy. This is what happens when artists take tradition and rip it up. ArtQuake tells the stories of 50 pivotal works that shook the world, telling the fascinating stories behind their creation, reception and legacy. The books begin with the rebels who struck out against Victorian conformism, daring painters and sculptors like Manet and Rodin, Van Gogh and Courbet, who experimented with expressionist and realist art styles as well as controversial subjects. Moving into the fin de siècle and the 20th century, we study the truly iconic works and turbulent lives of artists like Munch and Klimt, Picasso and Egon Schiele, whose work into abstraction, surrealism and cubism shocked and scandalized, but ultimately changed the course of western art forever.

Sochař, malíř, architekt a básník. Génius, který vdechl renesanci duši. Toskánský rodák Michelangelo Buonarroti patří k titánským zjevům, jejichž nesmrtelný tvůrčí odkaz ani po staletích neztrácí nic z mimořádné umělecké působivosti. Ve své době se stal dokonalým ztělesněním renesančního člověka – malířem, sochařem, architektem a básníkem. První vavříny si však vydobyl právě sochařským uměním, vždyť již v pouhých dvaceti letech dokázal vytesat nesmrtelná díla, včetně slavné Piety nebo sochy Davida. Jako mistr lidské postavy dokonale chápal její výrazové možnosti a jeho tvorba v tomto směru zůstává pro mnohé znalce dodnes nepřekonaná – a nepřekonatelná. Ponořte se do pozoruhodného příběhu Michelangelova života. Provázejte ho během prvních učednických let v dílně malíře Domenica Ghirlandaia, vydejte se s ním na humanistickou akademii rodu Medici a staňte se svědky vzniku jeho vrcholných děl ve službách papeže Julia II. a jeho následovníků, ať jde o výzdobu Sixtinské kaple nebo sochu Mojžíše na Juliově náhrobku.

Acclaimed mixed-media artist Mike Bernard has been at the forefront of collage painting for decades, and his work has a sought-after vitality. He brings his latest guidance, ideas, and techniques on a subject about which he is passionate: coastal painting. From his home near the Devon coast, he and coauthor (art writer) Susie Hodge cover all aspects of mixed-media painting: from considering composition and looking for contrasts to reducing elements for greater impact (and even moving towards abstraction); from working with limited palettes to including imaginary colors to a painting; from collaging with torn magazines, tin foil, plastic, and newsprint to combining inks, oil pastels, PVA, acrylic, and watercolors; from playing with proportion to create mood to using thick and thin oils for effect. And, of course, how to capture the mood and atmosphere of coastal life, from quiet stretches to busy harbors around the world. The authors include several step-by-step projects to demonstrate techniques, plus a series of experimental exercises helps the reader try something new.

Začtěte se do pohádkových příhod psích předškoláků! V téhle školce si budete připadat jako v psí grotesce. Malý pejsek Bobeš jde poprvé do školky mezi ostatní štěňátka. Paní učitelka, velice elegantní a náramně upravená fenka afgánského chrta, všechny učí společně jíst, plavat, zahrabávat kostičky a spořádaně se venčit na procházce. Všechna štěňátka jsou moc šikovná, jen ten Bonifác! Tenhle nenapravitelný propadlík má v hlavě samou lumpárnu. Tak trochu bláznivé pohádkové vyprávění Ivy Geckové by nebylo úplné bez vtipných ilustrací Michala Sušiny.

V pohádkách se většinou nesportuje, a to je chyba, kterou napravuje tato vtipná knížka. Tady platí - co pohádka, to jeden sport a jeho tajemství. Tajemství, o kterých nikdo netuší! Přečtěte si, co se skrývá za vznikem tenisu, vodního lyžování nebo třeba horolezectví a jak to chodí na golfovém hřišti nebo hokejovém stadionu.V dalším z pohádkových souborů oblíbené autorky Zuzany Pospíšilové se tentokrát sportuje a sportuje se velmi vtipně. Neočekávané zápletky, opět skvěle ilustrované Michalem Sušinou, pobaví děti i rodiče. Ve dvaceti pohádkových příbězích mají své místo nejrůznější zvířata, ale také skřítek, obr nebo anděl. Tato pestrá směs hrdinů dětem například vysvětlí, že za vznik vodního lyžování vděčíme sumcům, že akrobatické létání lidé odkoukali od vlaštovek a tenis vznikl díky dvěma kuchařům, kteří neuměli vařit. Sportem ke vtipné pohádce!

In her family, in society, even in the business world, she’s the one who doesn’t quite fit.

From Amazon bestselling author Susie Tate comes a new edition of the perfect enemies-to-lovers billionaire romance, set between the luxurious English countryside and London City - bonus content is included in this exclusive paperback edition!Lottie Forest never expected a job cleaning for a duke would turn her world upside down. He’s infuriatingly arrogant, devastatingly handsome, and so far out of her league it’s laughable. Besides, she has no time for a man like him—not when she’s barely scraping by and fighting to keep her little sister safe. Oliver Harding knows Lottie is off-limits. She’s messy, stubborn, and utterly unimpressed by his title. But she’s also brilliant, her laughter lingers in his mind, and for the first time in his privileged life, someone sees him for more than his name. She swore she wouldn’t fall. He told himself he didn’t care… But when betrayal shatters the fragile trust between them, Ollie realises he’ll do anything to win her back. Even if it means risking his heart—and a scandalous fake engagement—to prove she belongs with him.
