Fantastický realismus 1960 - 1966: Jan Jedlička - Vladivoj Kotyza - Mikuláš Rachlík - Vojtěch Lahoda, Marie Rakušanová, Jan Jedlička, Lenka Kodlová, M
Katalog k výstavě představuje dílo tří malířů, Jana Jedličky, Vladivoje Kotyzy a Mikuláše Rachlíka, kteří se setkali na pražské Akademii výtvarných umění v letech 1961- 1968. Tehdy směřovali k fantaskní a groteskní malbě. Odmítali jakékoliv programy. Přesto bylo cosi, co je spojovalo: zájem o fantastické v realitě, které ovšem nemuseli příliš vyhledávat. Svět "vítězného socialismu", v němž žili, jim dával spoustu možností k odhalování grotesky, absurdity a doslova magického v banální realitě. V každodennosti nalézali černý humor i kouzlo nechtěného, ale také skrytou, nezjevenou brutalitu. Jejich obrazy a kresby měly znaky podivné, tragikomické dystopie. V roce 1966 konfrontovali vzniklé práce na improvizované výstavě v jednom prázdném bytě na Újezdě č. 26 na Malé Straně v Praze. Výstava v Galerii města Plzně a katalog k ní ukazuje tvorbu tří umělců z šedesátých let, která od té doby nebyla prakticky vystavena. Tragické události roku 1968 a vstup vojsk SSSR a Varšavské smlouvy do Československa rozdělily cesty tří aktérů výstavy. Náznakem je představena jejich tvorba po roce 1968 až do současnosti.

Vladimír Jindřich Bufka - Antonín Dufek
Vladimír Jindřich Bufka (1887-1916) je neprávem opomíjeným českým fotografem. Byl všestranně nadaným tvůrcem a chemikem. Svého času konkuroval Františku Drtikolovi. Jeho ateliér v pražské Lucerně byl zároveň významným uměleckým salonem. Českou fotografii ovlivňoval od svých 21 let, kdy začal publikovat své fotografie i texty. V jeho vlastním díle se prolíná secesní symbolismus s "naturalismem" momentní fotografie a impresionismem. Mistrně zvládl novou techniku tříbarevného gumotisku, která byla tehdy považována za zvláště vhodnou pro uměleckou fotografii. Technické mistrovství ho vedlo k obtížným motivům (např. noční snímky). S první široce využitelnou technikou barevné fotografie, autochromem, se seznámil přímo u jeho vynálezců, bratří Lumierů v Lyonu. Zemřel ve věku 29 let na leukemii. Autorem monografie je historik fotografie Antonín Dufek.

Svoboda + Palcr: Vidět sochy - Katarína Mašterová
Fotograf Jan Svoboda (1934-1990) vnímal sochy Zdeňka Palcra (1927-1996) jako autonomní výtvarný motiv. Fotografie těchto soch vznikaly v 60. - 80. letech 20. století primárně jako dokumentace sloužící sochaři, fotograf je však autorsky přetvořil v obrazy specifických výtvarných kvalit a nevšední obrazové hodnoty. Kniha těchto fotografií je zároveň katalogem stejnojmenné výstavy, která proběhla v roce 2019 v Galerii výtvarného umění v Chebu. Vedle početných reprodukcí zahrnuje čtyři odborné studie rozebírající samotné fotografie soch od Jana Svobody (studie Kataríny Mašterové) i vlastní dílo Zdeňka Palcra (studie Ivy Mladičové a esej Vladimíry Koubové-Eidernové), které je dnes téměř zapomenuté, přestože patří k nejkvalitnějším výtvarným dílům druhé poloviny 20. století. Knihu doplňuje popis přátelství i výtvarného a myšlenkového souznění obou autorů (text Jaromíra Zeminy), jejich stručné životopisy a výběrová bibliografie. Kniha zahrnuje unikátní a nově zpřístupněný obrazový materiál.

Sváry zření - Karel Srp, Vojtěch Lahoda, Marie Rakušanová, Petr Wittlich
Monografie postihuje mnohovrstevnatý a mnohostranný vývoj českého moderního umění v období, kdy byl poznamenán nebývalým tvůrčím kvasem. V „kotli“ nabitém mimořádnou energií se tak v rychlém sledu střídaly hlavní tendence : impresionismus a symbolismus, dekadence a expresionismus, kubismus a civilismus. V Čechách se protagonisty svérázně přijímaných směrů stali umělci tzv. generace devadesátých let, kteří založili Spolek výtvarných umělců Mánes (Antonín Slavíček, Otakar Lebeda, Jan Preisler, František Bílek) nebo byli spojeni s okruhem Moderní revue (např. Karel Hlaváček), dále na počátku 20. století představitelé Osmy a budoucí Skupiny výtvarných umělců (Emil Filla, Bohumil Kubišta, Otto Gutfreund, Václav Špála, Josef Čapek) či uměleckého sdružení Sursum, navazujícího programově na předcházející generaci (např. Josef Váchal, Jan Zrzavý). Kniha končí připomínkou skupiny Tvrdošíjní, která jako jediná navázala krátce před skončením první světové války na výdobytky moderního umění, prosazené předválečnou generací. Jedenáct oddílů knihy představuje umělecké osobnosti bez ohledu na jejich generační či skupinovou příslušnost. Tímto členěním podtrhujeme skryté souvislosti, jež často unikaly dobovým reflexím, avšak s odstupem téměř sta let jsou stále očividnější. Z mnohých zastoupených umělců se během doby staly pilíře českého moderního umění.

Jaromír Funke - Mezi konstrukcí a emocí - Antonín Dufek
Jaromír Funke (1896-1945)patřil mezi novátory moderní fotografie, podobně jako Jaroslav Rössler, Man Ray, László Moholy-Nagy, Albert Renger-Patzsch, Alexander Rodčenko, Paul Strand, Edward Weston a další. Podobně jako oni se Funke - roku 1922 - vydal na cestu k abstrakci, která vyústila v jeho vlastním -ismu, "fotogenismu". Reagoval také na kubismus a vytvořil vzorová díla nové věcnosti a konstruktivismu, stál nejblíž Bauhausu. V průběhu dvacátých let akceptoval jako jeden z prvních také iracionální směry, poetismus a surrealismus. Na Bretonově pojetí zázračného setkání založil po polovině třicátých let svoji "emoční fotografii". Byl typickým všestranně vzdělaným intelektuálem své doby. Součástí knihy je Antologie textů Jaromíra Funkeho. Kniha přibližuje především logiku utváření a proměn Funkeho tvorby, zasazuje Funkeho dílo do kontextu evropské avantgardní fotografie a kultury. Prokazuje, že Funke patří k jejím průkopníkům. Jde o první velkou monografii tohoto světově proslulého fotografa. Na knize spolupracovala paní Miloslava Rupešová, dcera Jaromíra Funkeho. Při předložení dokladu o zakoupení knihy, má zákazník vstup na stejnojmennou výstavu zdarma.

Pavel Mára - Antonín Dufek
Pavel Mára (Praha, 1951) patří k výrazným představitelům evropské fotografie. Je také již téměř dvě desetiletí pedagogem na Institutu tvůrčí fotografie Slezské univerzity v Opavě. K tomuto poslání ho přímo předurčuje jeho tvorba, která je příkladem koncepčnosti a promyšlenosti. Podoba jeho děl často vychází z nové interpretace možností fotografického média. Pavel Mára patřil již v sedmdesátých letech k několika málo fotografům v Československu, kteří svoji volnou tvorbu realizovali v barvě, navíc většinou ve velkých formátech. Asociace profesionálních fotografů České republiky Pavla Máru vyhlásila Osobností české fotografie za nejvýznamnější počin roku 2015.

Josef Sudek-Otto Rothmayer: Návštěva u pana kouzelníka - Jan Mlčoch, Josef Sudek, Jan Mergl, Otto Rothmayer
Kniha Josef Sudek / Otto Rothmayer: Návštěva u pana kouzelníka vychází ze stejnojmenné výstavy konané v roce 2021 a 2022 ke 125. výročí narození Josefa Sudka a 55. výročí úmrtí architekta Otto Rothmayera v Uměleckoprůmyslovém museu v Praze. Publikace čtenáře zavede jednak na Pražský hrad - společnou lásku obou přátel - a jednak do architektovy vily a její nevelké zahrady v břevnovské ulici Na Bateriích, jež se ve čtyřicátých až šedesátých letech 20. století staly místem setkávání skupiny spřízněných umělců a přátel. Útočiště v neklidné době a inspiraci pro svou tvorbu tu nacházeli například i Josef Kaplický, Bedřich Stefan, Hana Wichterlová, Vladimír Studený, Pravoslav Rada či René Roubíček. Josef Sudek zde pořídil celou řadu fotografií, které pak řadil do několika cyklů, například do sérií Procházka po kouzelné zahrádce, Vzpomínky, Malé vzpomínky či Poznámky. Velký soubor Sudkových prací - kontaktní kopie a fotografické pigmenty - doplňují tzv. puřidla a veteše, na jejichž originální adjustaci se Sudkem spolupracoval právě Otto Rothmayer a jež jsou dnes ceněny jako nejprogresivnější příspěvek světové fotografii. V ukázkách kniha připomíná též práce samotného hostitele i společných přátel ze sbírek Uměleckoprůmyslového musea v Praze, Muzea hlavního mšsta Prahy, Národního technického muzea v Praze, Muzea umění Olomouc a soukromého ...

Sudek a sochy - Hana Buddeus
Josef Sudek (1896-1976), zachytil na fotografiích Prahy jedinečnou atmosféru města a i díky nezaměnitelným fotografickým zátiším se už za svého života stal uznávaným autorem v českém i v mezinárodním kontextu. V jeho celoživotní fotografické práci lze i dnes objevovat dosud neznámé kapitoly, k nimž patří početné zakázky na fotografování uměleckých děl. Kniha se zaměřuje na Sudkovo milované téma - sochy. Tematické eseje doprovázejí celostránkové reprodukce, bohatě ilustrované jsou i medailonky nejdůležitějších zákazníků (umělců, spolků či nakladatelů), které odhalují nečekanou provázanost Sudkovy práce s dobovými uměleckými okruhy a tendencemi. Kniha odkrývá podstatné otázky spjaté s dějinami fotografie a mapuje proměňující se napětí mezi schopností fotografických reprodukcí přibližovat umění lidem a potenciálem fotografie obstát jako svébytné umělecké dílo.

Reclaiming Art in the Age of Artifice - J. F. Martel
A compelling call to rediscover the transformative power of art in an age of distraction, coercion and spectacle - with a new introduction by Donna TarttIn Reclaiming Art in the Age of Artifice, J. F. Martel offers a compelling and incisive meditation on the nature of art in a world dominated by invasive media, rampant consumer culture, and artificial intelligence. Drawing on a wide range of examples, from Paleolithic cave art to contemporary cinema, Martel argues that true art reveals the unseen forces shaping our existence-forces that transcend politics, technology, and even culture. In contrast to artifice, which seeks to manipulate or distract, authentic art calls us back to the essence of things, opening "rifts" onto the sublime and the weird and reconnecting us with the radical mystery at the heart of the world.Featuring a foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Donna Tartt, this edition also includes a new afterword by the author, reflecting on the continued relevance of art in our increasingly mediated world.

Philosophy and Art in Southeast Asia - Melvin Chen
Guiding you through the topics that shape aesthetics and the philosophy of art, this introduction explores the truth, meaning, taste, aesthetic merit and judgement, creativity and the possibility of machine art, and morality and the possibility of immoral art. Each chapter offers a wealth of examples from Southeast Asia, including the Nanyang style of painting, the mooi indie genre and its postcolonial legacy, groundbreaking works of poetry and literature, dragon kiln pottery, the art of making ang ku kueh, contemporary conceptual art, the dikir barat and the balitaw. Selected for their merit, boldness and connection to the Southeast Asian region, these artworks traverse art and craft, visual art and music, perceptual and conceptual art, real-life and hypothetical examples and folk and fine art. As case studies, these artworks allow us to deal with controversies and address central questions including: - When are artworks considered dangerous? - Why does Socrates recommend the banishment of the poets? - What are the problems and challenges posed by forgery? - How do we resolve ambiguity when interpreting and making sense of works of art? - Can there be such a thing as immoral art?

Art in a State of Siege - Joseph Leo Koerner
An art historical epic for dangerous timesWhat do artworks look like in extreme cases of collective experience? What signals do artists send when enemies are at the city walls and the rule of law breaks down, or when a tyrant suspends the law to attack from inside? Art in a State of Siege tells the story of three compelling images created in dangerous moments and the people who experienced them—from Philip II of Spain to Carl Schmitt—whose panicked gaze turned artworks into omens.Acclaimed art historian Joseph Koerner reaches back to the eve of iconoclasm and religious warfare to explore the most elusive painting ever painted. In Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Delights, enemies are everywhere: Jews and Ottomans at the gates, witches and heretics at home, sins overtaking the mind. Following a paper trail leading from Bosch’s time to World War II, Koerner considers a monumental self-portrait painted by Max Beckmann in 1927. Created when Germany was often governed by emergency decree, this image brazenly claimed to decide Europe’s future—until the Nazis deemed it to be a threat to the German people. For South African artist William Kentridge, Beckmann exemplified “art in a state of siege.” Koerner shows how his work ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Art in Theory
A ground-breaking new anthology in the Art in Theory series, offering an examination of the changing relationships between the West and the wider world in the field of art and material culture Art in Theory: The West in the World is a ground-breaking anthology that comprehensively examines the relationship of Western art to the art and material culture of the wider world. Editors Paul Wood and Leon Wainwright have included 370 texts, some of which appear in English for the first time. The anthologized texts are presented in eight chronological parts, which are then subdivided into key themes appropriate to each historical era. The majority of the texts are representations of changing ideas about the cultures of the world by European artists and intellectuals, but increasingly, as the modern period develops, and especially as colonialism is challenged, a variety of dissenting voices begin to claim their space, and a counter narrative to western hegemony develops. Over half the book is devoted to 20th and 21st century materials, though the book’s unique selling point is the way it relates the modern globalization of art to much longer cultural histories.

Art into Life
Tracey Emin has undergone an extraordinary metamorphosis from a young, unknown artist into the ‘bad girl’ of the Young British Art (YBA) movement, challenging the complacency of the art establishment in both her work and her life. Today she is arguably the doyenne of the British art scene and attracts more acclaim than controversy. Her work is known by a wide audience, yet rarely receives the critical attention it deserves.In Tracey Emin: Art Into Life, writers from a range of art historical, artistic and curatorial perspectives examine how Emin’s art, life and celebrity status have become inextricably intertwined. This innovative collection explores Emin’s intersectional identity, including her Turkish-Cypriot heritage, ageing and sexuality, reflects on her early years as an artist, and debates issues of autobiography, self-presentation and performativity alongside the multi-media exchanges of her work and the tensions between art and craft. With its discussions of the central themes of Emin''s art, attention to key works such as My Bed, and accessible theorization of her creative practice, Tracey Emin: Art into Life will interest a broad readership.

A draughtsman''s obsession with drawing locomotives provides a dark twist to a love story. A cartoonist takes over the work of a colleague who has suffered a nervous breakdown only to discover that his own sanity is in danger.In these witty, sharp, often disquieting stories, Tove Jansson reveals the fault-lines in our relationship with art, both as artists and as consumers. Obsession, ambition, and the discouragement of critics are all brought into focus in these wise and cautionary tales.

Příběh, na jehož začátku stála sveřepá vůle dobýt s rockovou hudbou celý svět, ani po téměř padesáti letech nekončí. Ze zaplivaných sydneyských putyk vedla k úspěchu u protinožců trnitá cesta, v londýnské „kolébce rocku“ ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Art in Hong Kong - Enid Tsui
Art in Hong Kong is a fascinating analysis of the history, current status and possible future of Hong Kong as an international art hub, written by a local journalist who has reported on the cityÂ’s cultural landscape for many years. Enid Tsui presents a balanced and insightful picture of recent changes in the city which was once the poster-child of artistic freedom in Asia as well as the undisputed leader of the region''s booming contemporary-art market. Some of Hong Kong''s traditional advantages now look precarious following new laws imposed by China curbing freedom of expression and the city''s long period of isolation during the Covid-19 pandemic. Yet despite the exodus of talent from Hong Kong and growing uncertainties over the ''red lines'' of censorship, there are more world-class art institutions in the city than ever before and the market has proved resilient, with international auction houses and galleries continuing to expand their presence there.This book lifts the lid on a diverse art scene in a city of fascinating contradictions: a former British colony where artists have long been inspired by the interplay between east and west, and where the new M+ museum and other venues have to tread a tightrope ...

Art in a Multipolar World
How do geopolitical, economical, and socio-political upheavals impact the field of art todayThis monograph takes a look at how the increasing multipolarity of our world affects art. It is a diagnosis of the socio-political contexts that surround art and questions what the upheavals in geopolitics, economic and social policy mean for the field of art today. The text is divided into four sections. First, the phenomenon is conceptualized and theorized. This is followed by an in-depth examination of the interrelationships using documenta fifteen as a case study, an exhibition that can be seen as a crystallization point for current political shifts. This is followed by an in-depth reading of Chinese art policy, which oscillates between particularist and universalist claims, in order to arrive at the concluding section, which opens up a horizon of thought and experimentation that helps us to come to terms with the era of multipolarity.

Art in a Disrupted World – Poland 1939–1949 - Agata Pietrasik
With Art in a Disrupted World, art historian Agata Pietrasik presents a study of artistic practices that emerged in Poland during and after World War II. Pietrasik highlights examples of artworks by a number of Polish-born artists that were created in concentration camps and ghettos, in exile, and during the years of social, political, and cultural disintegration immediately following the war. She draws attention to the ethics of artistic practice as a method of fighting to preserve one’s own humanity amid even the most dehumanizing circumstances. Breaking out of entrenched historical timelines and traditional forms of narration, this book brings together drawings, paintings, architectural designs, and exhibitions, as well as literary and theatrical works created in this time period, to tell the story of Polish life in wartime. ?Employing an accessible, essayistic style, Pietrasik offers a new look at life in the ten years following the outbreak of World War II and features artists—including Marian Bogusz, Jadwiga Simon-Pietkiewicz, and Józef Szajna—whose work has not yet found substantial audiences in the English-speaking world. Her reading of the art and artists of this period strives to capture their autonomous artistic language and poses critical questions about the ability of traditional art history ...

Art in California - Jenni Sorkin
This introduction to the art of California focuses on the distinctive role the state played in the history of American art, from early twentieth-century photography and Chicanx mural painting to the fiber art movement and beyond. Shaped by a compelling network of geopolitical influences—including waves of migration and exchange from the Pacific Rim and Mexico, the influx of African Americans immediately after World War II, and global immigration after quotas were lifted in the 1960s—California is a center of artistic activity whose influence extends far beyond its physical boundaries. Including work by artists Yun Gee, Helen Lundeberg, Henry Taylor, Richard Diebenkorn, Albert Bierstadt, Chiura Obata, and Judith Baca, among many others, art historian Jenni Sorkin tells California’s story as a place at the forefront of radical developments in artistic culture.Art in California

Minimalism in Photography
We live in turbulent times, which arouses a longing to pare down to the essentials in many people. The trend towards minimalism is reflected in the worlds of home living, environmental awareness, and mindfulness, to be sure, but it is also reflected in art and photography.The minimalist photographer’s eye directs the viewer’s gaze to the aesthetics of the ordinary, transforming them into something extraordinary, something inspiring. The resulting photographs always use clean lines, often arranged in geometric compositions.Minimalist artists such as Maria Svarbova, Maarten Rots, Matthieu Venot, and Natalie Christensen borrow their motifs from everyday life. They can be schematic depictions of topography, or purely two-dimensional, abstract compositions. Sometimes they are detailed, sometimes large-scale. The point is always reduction.Text in English and German.

Only the Young: Experimental Art in Korea, 1960s–1970s
A pioneering survey of Korea’s dynamic postwar avant-garde, with new translations of manifestos, articles and primary sourcesThe 1960s and 1970s marked a period of exceptional change in Korea, propelled by rapid urbanization and modernization, and influenced by an authoritarian state at home and a globalizing world beyond. Young artists of the era were not immune to these unprecedented socioeconomic, political and material conditions, responding with a groundbreaking and genre-defying body of avant-garde art known broadly as Experimental art (silheom misul). Both as individuals and in collectives, these artists broke definitively with their predecessors, redefining the boundaries of traditional painting and sculpture while embracing innovative—and often provocative—approaches to materials and process through performance, installation, photography and video.Only the Young: Experimental Art in Korea, 1960s–1970s accompanies the first exhibition in North America to examine this influential but understudied period. Featuring incisive new scholarship and lavish photography of works drawn from public and private collections across the globe, the volume also brings together translations of articles, artist manifestos and other primary sources that offer a firsthand perspective on the ideas and discourses then shaping Korean art. What emerges is the story of how this generation of young Korean artists harnessed the power of ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Art in the Cinema
In the 1940s and 1950s, hundreds of art documentaries were produced, many of them being highly personal, poetic, reflexive and experimental films that offer a thrilling cinematic experience. With the exception of Alain Resnais’s Van Gogh (1948), Henri-Georges Clouzot’s Le Mystère Picasso (1956) and a few others, most of them have received only scant scholarly attention. This book aims to rectify this situation by discussing the most lyrical, experimental and influential post-war art documentaries, connecting them to contemporaneous museological developments and Euro-American cultural and political relationships. With contributors with expertise across art history and film studies, Art in the Cinema draws attention to film projects by André Bazin, Ilya Bolotowsky, Paul Haesaerts, Carlo Ragghianti, John Read, Dudley Shaw Aston, Henri Storck and Willard Van Dyke among others.

Handel in London - Jane Glover
''How refreshing, to read a book about music written for a music lover and not a musicologist. In clear, lucid, entertaining prose, Jane Glover makes those of us who lack musical literacy better understand and appreciate Handel’s divinity.'' - Donna Leon, author of Handel''s Bestiary and the Inspector Brunetti mysteries.Handel in London tells the story of a young German composer who in 1712, followed his princely master to London and would remain there for the rest of his life. That master would become King George II and the composer was George Frideric Handel.Handel, then still only twenty-seven and largely self-taught, would be at the heart of musical activity in London for the next four decades, composing masterpiece after masterpiece, whether the glorious coronation anthem, Zadok the Priest, operas such as Giulio Cesare, Rinaldo and Alcina or the great oratorios, culminating, of course, in Messiah. Here, Jane Glover, who has conducted Handel’s work in opera houses and concert halls throughout the world, draws on her profound understanding of music and musicians to tell Handel’s story. It is a story of music-making and musicianship, of practices and practicalities, but also of courts and cabals, of theatrical rivalries and of eighteenth-century society. It ...

The Manuscript Found in Saragossa - Jan Potocki
Alphonse, a young Walloon officer, is travelling to join his regiment in Madrid in 1739. But he soon finds himself mysteriously detained at a highway inn in the strange and varied company of thieves, brigands, cabbalists, noblemen, coquettes and gypsies, whose stories he records over sixty-six days. The resulting manuscript is discovered some forty years later in a sealed casket, from which tales of characters transformed through disguise, magic and illusion, of honour and cowardice, of hauntings and seductions, leap forth to create a vibrant polyphony of human voices. Jan Potocki (1761-1812) used a range of literary styles - gothic, picaresque, adventure, pastoral, erotica - in his novel of stories-within-stories, which, like the Decameron and Tales from the Thousand and One Nights, provides entertainment on an epic scale.
