The Advertising Photographs - Josef Sudek
Čtvrtý svazek knižní řady Sudkových fotografických cyklů představuje jeho zakázkovou tvorbu. Historik umění Vojtěch Lahoda ve svém doprovodném textu ukazuje vývoj Sudkova vztahu k reklamní fotografii, zdůrazňuje klíčové Sudkovo setkání s Družstevní prací a Ladislavem Sutnarem a ukazuje, jak v mnoha případech Sudkovy snímky vznikající na zakázku volně přecházely v jeho volnou tvorbu. Sudek vytvářel na svých snímcích ze skleněných předmětů abstraktní kompozice, pracoval s neobvyklými úhly pohledu i se světlem. Sám si své reklamní práce vážil a některé své takto vzniklé snímky zahrnoval do svého díla a vystavoval je.

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 ...

Josef Sudek v rozhovorech a vzpomínkách - Jaroslav Anděl, Petr Hron, Adéla Petruželková
V první části knihy jsou shromážděny více než dvě desítky časopiseckých rozhovorů s Josefem Sudkem z let 1936-76, tato pramenná edice poprvé přináší v celku jejich úplné a doslovné znění. Publikované rozhovory doplňují přepisy dvou nahrávek z archivu Českého rozhlasu. Druhá část knihy obsahuje unikátní soubor vzpomínek pamětníků, Sudkových kolegů a přátel, které na začátku 80. let zaznamenal fotograf Petr Hron. V tomto rozsahu celek jím shromážděných vzpomínek rovněž dosud publikován nebyl, část přepisů byla pořízena až pro toto vydání. Třetí část tvoří původně ineditní sborník "Pocta Josefu Sudkovi", který k autorovým osmdesátinám začal pořádat Jaroslav Anděl. Po jeho odchodu do exilu pracoval na shromažďování příspěvků Antonín Dufek. Sborník obsahuje pětadvacet textových příspěvků nejrůznějších autorů několika generací, od Jana Lauschmanna a Adolfa Schneebergera po Petra Rezka, a také příspěvky výtvarné. Část původní obrazové přílohy, včetně fotografií zachycujících Josefa Sudka, je v přítomném svazku reprodukována. Čtenářům se v této knize dostává do rukou mnohostranný portrét Josefa Sudka a jeho díla, tvořený jeho vlastními slovy, zachycený očima jeho nejbližších přátel i z odstupu uměnovědné reflexe. Kniha je doplněna ediční poznámkou a jmenným rejstříkem.

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.

A Doggie and Pussycat - How They Were Making a Cake - Josef Čapek, Eduard Hofman
Dear children and others, we are informing you that everything is in the best disorder, and so we are again meeting you in this next book from the Tales About a Doggie and a Pussycat, which is all about the two of us, written by the author Mr. Josef Čapek. We want to add to this that we are both very happy that he had portrayed us so nicely in his pictures. This new book about us is named How They Were Making a Cake, because once we really made such a big cake since as it happened we both had a name day and a birthday at the same time. However, it was also for the last time, because we found out that we should not overdo even a good thing; but we can't reveal more because then you would easily guess how all of this ended. So have a good read and perhaps don't show our recipe for a real proper cake to your mum. Ask her instead to make you a cake for your name day or birthday from her own head, or from a cookery book. Good appetite! So cheerio and regards Yours PUSSYCAT and DOGGIE

Dr. Josef's Little Beauty - Zyta Rudzka
In the middle of summer, omnipresent heat radiates as a group of elderly people are remembering their youth. The story focuses on two sisters, Leokadia and Czechna, who live together in a retirement home not far from Warsaw. These are not ordinary stories they are sharing, because both of them spent time as children in a concentration camp in Nazi Germany. At the center is Czechna, who at the age of 12 was saved from extermination by the notorious doctor Josef Mengele, the real-life Nazi officer and physician who was known as the ''angel of death'' for the experiments he conducted on prisoners, including twins and siblings. This is a story both provocative and disturbing about the fear that lingers in victims. Was the sisters'' relationship with the executioner a desperate attempt to save their lives, or perhaps they harbour a hideous pride and sense of superiority over other prisoners? Rudzka''s extraordinary writing turns unsettling questions about memory and survival into art.

Oasis The Masterplan - Kevin Cummins
How does a band come into being? What are the myriad forces that shape the sound, look, and identity of an emerging band?In 1993, Oasis signed to Creation Records and were shortly to begin recording their first album. Unknown, and unknowing what was ahead, the following year began with a masterplan - the creation of Oasis. At the centre of this enterprise was Kevin Cummins, brought on board to help the band find a look that fitted their sound.As chief photographer of Joy Division depicting that band on a snowy bridge and in the chilly environs of Manchester with a backdrop of the black stone of a gothic cathedral, Cummins was well aware of the intersection between the visual and the sonic. Oasis The Masterplan tells the story of how Oasis cemented their identity. Drawing on the first six months of the year, we follow Cummins as he photographs the band in various locations such as London, Manchester and the Netherlands.Using many unseen images as well as more well-known iconic shots, Cummins guides us through the ways a band can be shaped and designed, such as the famous photographs of the Gallagher brothers in Manchester City shirts - emblazoned with ...

The Vedute of Prague - Roman Koucký
„Book „The Vedute of Prague“ describes the development of Prague cityscape in the period of last 5 centuries and emphasizes future possible scenarios how the city composition could be continuously developed in the 21st century,“ comments the content of the book Roman Koucký, the co-author of the book and the chief of the Metropolitan plan office, that prepares new urban plan of Prague, called Metropolitan plan.The overall visual composition of the city forms a significant part of its identity and the collective mental “city image”. The layered and diverse composition of the city “from medieval times up to now” is, as emphasized in the book’s first chapter, the reason for Prague’s inscription in the prestigious UNESCO Register of World Cultural Heritage. The second chapter describes how it is not only possible but indeed necessary to read the contemporary city/metropolis, and what to emphasis in supplementing its composition. The third chapter is a brief history of the formulation of Prague’s historic urban landscape, particularly in the turbulent 20th century, and an outline of a possible solution for its further development based on the Metropolitan Plan.

The Trial - Franz Kafka
On his thirtieth birthday, the bank clerk Josef K. is suddenly arrested by mysterious agents for an unspecified crime. He is told that he will be set free, but must make regular appearances at a court in the attic of a tenement building while his trial proceeds. Although he never comes to know the particulars of his case, Josef K. finds his life taken over by the opaque bureaucratic procedures and is tormented by the psychological pressures exerted by his legal nightmare.Published the year after the author’s death, but written ten years earlier, The Trial is the most acclaimed of Kafka’s three novels, and is both a haunting meditation on freedom and the powerlessness of the individual in the face of state power, and an ominous prefiguration of the totalitarian excesses of the twentieth century.

Branch Lines of the Chester & Holyhead Railway - Philip M Lloyd
This book complements the author’s previous book on the Chester and Holyhead Railway and completes the story of railways associated with the London and North Western Railway in north Wales. It does so by breaking down developments to three districts working from east to west across the region. The book examines the background to the construction of the branch lines in the context of relevant wider railway developments. It provides an account of the operation of each of the lines with reference to significant incidents on the railway and the relationship of the branch to the communities it served. The dominance of railways peaked around 1914 so the book analyses the process of decline from that status. That decline was relatively rapid and featured several rounds of closures of stations and branches, culminating in the notorious Beeching cuts of the 1960s that eventually left north Wales with fewer than fifty miles of branch railways – under 20% of the original total. The book has maps and tables that provide an overview of the detail contained in the text and the 150 photographs. The book concludes with an overview of the railway system in north Wales.

The Experimental Self - Patricia G. Berman, Tom Gunning, MaryClaire Pappas
Edvard Munch was the first artist of his time to use the camera for "selfies". Munch saw the camera as another way to express himself artistically."I have an old camera with which I have taken countless photographs of myself. It often produces astonishing effects", Edvard Munch states in a 1930 interview. "Someday when I am old and have nothing better to do than work on an autobiography, all my photographic self-portraits will see the light of day again." The autobiography was never realized, but the self-portraits have found their way to the pages of The Experimental Self. The Photography of Edvard Munch, which demonstrates the fundamentally experimental nature of the artist’s photographic practice. As a photographer, Munch embraced the freedom provided by the amateur position, and the unpredictable aspects of analogue photographic technology. By playfully approaching his own image in picture after picture, Munch extends his explorations of selfhood in other media through photography. The resulting photographs provide unique access to Munch’s radical artistic vision, which this book studies through eminent essays by Patricia G. Berman, Tom Gunning and MaryClaire Pappas.

The Office of Good Intentions. Human(s) Work - Florian Idenburg, LeeAnn Suen, Iwan Baan
Immerse yourself with architects Florian Idenburg and LeeAnn Suen as they journey through a wide-ranging collection of the objects, systems, and buildings that have occupied the American office space since the advent of the internet. Through stories and speculations, Idenburg and Suen expose the relationships between space, work, and people, and explore the intentions that have driven the development of office design for working humans. In twelve essays, this book examines the spatial typologies and global phenomena that have defined the office in the last half century. Topics include the return of the work club, the rise of the corporate festival, the way of the charismatic guru, the shattering of the time clock, and the design of playgrounds for work. We cycle through Frank O. Gehry's radical, playful spaces for digital nomads in the advertising world, stagger under the weight of stacks of punch cards, feel the fit of our bodies in the Aeron Chair, answer the phone in Hugh Hefner's bed, and scroll through Lil Miquela's feed. Photographic essays by Iwan Baan provide a visual post-occupancy report on a range of canonical office projects, such as Marcel Breuer's IBM campus in Florida and the Ford Foundation's urban garden in ...

Prague at the turn of the century - Pavel Scheufler
Towards the end of the Austro-Hungarian Empire Prague still possessed its venerable majesty, but now it was fast becoming a modern European metropolis. The old Jewish Quarter had been replaced with broad boulevards, modern bridges spanned the river, and the first steam trains from Vienna were arriving at the station. While only recently the Emperor and his guard had promenaded here, soon independence would be declared and a new country, Czechoslovakia, would be founded. The remarkable photographs in this book capture key moments and everyday life in Prague. Pavel Scheufler has selected over 140 photographs from his family's archive and written a learned commentary on each one. This book is not only a valuable account of a city in transition, but a guide to reading photographs in a way that lets us hear the fascinating stories they tell.

This new selection of Joan Leigh Fermor’s photographs is to show what caught the eye of an artist whose interest in what she saw and photographed was outward, and never filtered through a self-referencing lens nor constrained by censorship and market forces. The selection of photographs – as with the previous book, The Photographs of Joan Leigh Fermor: Artist and Lover – is personal and are those which evoke a sense of place and time, and leave – as Joan did – many things unsaid. The 2018 Exhibition of Joan’s photographs at the Benaki Museum achieved exactly what we wanted – in the beauty and detail that could be seen in the larger photographs, and by creating a space of calm with a flow of movement. Â

Mixing sharp humour with a delicious edge of melancholy, Little People in the City brings together the collected photographs of Slinkachu, a street-artist who for several years has been leaving little hand-painted people in the bustling city to fend for themselves, waiting to be discovered. . . ‘Oddly enough, even when you know they are just hand-painted figurines, you can’t help but feel that their plights convey something of our own fears about being lost and vulnerable in a big, bad city.’ The Times
