Tattoo Portraits Slovakia
Veríme, že naša nová obrazová publikácia plná fotografií od skvelých slovenských fotografov i menej známych talentov otvorí oči a mysle širšiemu publiku a postaví fenomén tetovania tam, kde naozaj patrí - na piedestál svojbytnej formy umeleckého vyjadrenia či projektovania vlastného svetonázoru na svojom tele. Radi by sme zotreli stigmy, ktoré nahliadajú na tetovanie ako na subkultúrny fenomén polosveta asociálov a ukázali, že tetovanie patí k ľuďom mnohých profesií a názorov, čo determinovalo aj výber ľudí v tejto knihe. Nie je plošným prieskumom kvantity, ani špecializovaným výskumom kvality. Je výberom rôznych ľudí s rôznymi pohľadmi na tento svet a samozrejme s rôznym prístupom k tetovaniu. Sú to skrátka umelecké portréty zvonku aj zvnútra, ktoré ukazujú človeka ako komplexnú bytosť, ktorej integrálnou a prirodzenou súčasťou sú aj kérky.
Birdy - Portraits LP
KDO: Jasmine Lucilla Elizabeth Jennifer van den Bogaerde patřila už jako náctiletá k hvězdám hudebního nebe. Britská zpěvačka zaujala v talentové soutěži Open Mic, kterou vyhrála jako dvanáctiletá. Celosvětově se proslavila, když jí bylo patnáct. První album v roce 2011 poskládala povětšinou z předělávek indie-folkových a indie-popových písniček a uspěla se singly Skinny Love, People Help The People nebo Shelter. Vkusně vybrané skladby citlivě přearanžovala a velmi přesvědčivě interpretovala. Následoval hitparádový úspěch nebo účast na zahajovacím ceremoniálu paralympiády v Londýně. Druhou deskou Fire Within v roce 2013 dokázala, že obstojí i s vlastním repertoárem.
CO: Již pátá studiová deska britské zpěvačky. Album vychází dva roky po předchozím Young Heart a je k dispozici na CD a v několika barevných variantách na LP.

Portraits carnivores / Masožravé portréty
Dvojjazyčné vydání zpřístupňuje českému čtenáři poprvé francouzsky napsané básnické prózy Masožravé portréty (Portraits carnivores, Le Nyctalope, 1982), jež doplňuje autorčin vlastní komentář Une langue plurielle (Pomnožný jazyk), napsaný v roce 1988. Masožravé portréty sestávají ze tří výjimečných textů: Stařena z hory (La Vielle de la Montagne), Učitel Sagiro (Maître Sagiro) a Zajatá divoška (Une barbare captive), jež jsou třemi epizodami téhož příběhu, který se odvíjí v jakémsi bezčasí, jinde. Přítomnost, a zároveň nepřítomnost řeči, která míří k zapomnění, k tichu tak hlubokému, že je slyšet. Věra Linhartová nazývá tyto texty mýtem o nezdařené vzpouře, která se v jakési očistné spirále navrací skrze odříkání. Čtenář je doslova vtahován do víru promluv. Text se prosvětluje, jakoby prozařován světlem odjinud. Prosvítá z něho právě to, co je jen zdánlivě mimo. Nesmírně čistá próza Masožravých portrétů svým tónem naprosté nezbytnosti potvrzuje vzácnou jednotu celé tvorby Věry Linhartové, v níž jde o nejzákladnější zkušenost naší přítomnosti ve světě. – Vychází za podpory Ministerstva kultury ČR a programu F. X. Šalda Francouzského instititutu v Praze.
Věra Linhartová patří k nejvýznamnějším autorkám druhé poloviny dvacátého století. Od roku 1968 žije v Paříži, kde vystudovala japanistiku, naučila se čínsky a léta pracovala v muzeu orientálních umění Guimet. Od roku 1969 píše francouzsky. Do francouzštiny přeložila a komentářem opatřila japonské texty o malířství od 9. do 19. století (Gallimard, 1996) a texty japonského zenového mnicha ze 13. století Dogena (Gallimard, 1999). Vydala monografie o Josefu Šímovi (Brusel, 1974) a Antonim Tapiesovi (Stuttgart, 1973). Za soubor studií a esejů o českém, evropském a japonském výtvarném umění a literatuře nazvaný Soustředné kruhy (Torst, 2010) obdržela Cenu F. X. Šaldy. Za francouzsky psané prózy Mé zapomínky (Mes oubliettes, Deyrolle Éditeur, 1996) získala v roce 1998 Cenu Jaroslava Seiferta.
Portréty Dvanáctera tenisových hvězd / Portraits of Twelvesome Tennis Stars
Dvanáct tenisových hvězd (Berdych, Djoković, Federer, Kodeš, Krejčíková, Kvitová, Lendl, Lenglenová, Nadal, Navrátilová, Štěpánek, Tilden) je představeno v poetických profilech, resumé jejich kariéry a ve výstižných uměleckých ztvárněních, která se leckomu mohou jevit jako uhrančivé karikatury. Portréty jsou aplikovány na rakety, které byly voleny podle afinity tenistů k příslušným značkám, volba hornin soklíků, v nichž jsou rakety upevněny, odráží herní a osobnostní projev tenistů. Dílko se tak dokládá maximu amerického tenisty Williama Tildena: Tenis je zároveň umění a věda. Text je český a anglický.
SJ Axelby's Interior Portraits
An artist's record of the homes of 89 leading creatives from interior designers to ceramicists, antiques dealers, florists and chefs.
SJ Axelby brings new life to interior portraiture, capturing in paint the favourite rooms of 89 leading creatives from interior designers to ceramicists and antiques dealers (and florists and chefs). A sumptuously illustrated record of a home or special project, each interior portrait is accompanied by a charming and quirky interview with the owner, in which we discover invaluable nuggets of design advice, cocktail choice, life hacks and so much more - all illustrated in watercolour by SJ.
There is a long tradition of painting rooms to provide a record of grand homes, giving a glimpse into the life and times of previous generations. Today there is a resurgence of interest in our living spaces, but there is no book in the tradition of illustrated room portraiture to inspire you. SJ Axelby's Interior Portraits will take you into multiple unique and colourful homes, seen through the artist's eye.
Creating an authentic and characterful scheme is much like the composition of a painting: the shape, form, contrast, colour, pattern and texture all need to work in harmony. This pictorial guide includes not only Sarah-Jane's original watercolours but scrapbook pages annotated with design wisdom from each room's owners, which will enthuse and empower the reader to try new ideas in their own homes. It's a creative who's who of the international design world featuring mouth-watering compositions bursting with colour and pattern and displaying the true joy of a home that reflects its owner's personality. With a foreword by Kit Kemp of Firmdale Hotels.

Warhol Portraits
To the general public, Andy Warhol is known as a painter of famous faces, from Liz and Marilyn and Jackie and Marlon to his own ever-changing self-portrait. Less known are the portraits he made throughout his career of socialites, art dealers, collectors, politicians, and a variety of contemporary cult figures, mostly commissioned work that helped finance Warhol's many other artistic activities. Now available in paperback, this book is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of Warhol's many portraits, including well-known icons as well as many works largely unknown even by avid Warhol followers.

Self-Portraits
Bringing together novelist Osamu Dazai’s best autobiographical shorts in a single, slim volume, Self-Portraits shows the legendary writer at his best?and worst
“Art dies the moment it acquires authority.” So said Japan’s quintessential rebel writer Osamu Dazai, who, disgusted with the hypocrisy of every kind of establishment, from the nation’s obsolete aristocracy to its posturing, warmongering generals, went his own way, even when that meant his death?and the death of others. Faced with pressure to conform, he declared his individuality to the world?in all its self-involved, self-conscious, and self-hating glory. “Art,” he wrote, “is ‘I.’”
In these short stories, collected and translated by Ralph McCarthy, we can see just how closely Dazai’s life mirrored his art, and vice versa, as the writer/narrator falls from grace, rises to fame, and falls again. Addiction, debt, shame, and despair dogged Dazai until his self-inflicted death, and yet despite all the lies and deception he resorted to in life, there is an almost fanatical honesty to his writing. And that has made him a hero to generations of readers who see laid bare, in his works, the painful, impossible contradictions inherent in the universal commandment of social life?fit in and do as you are told?as well as the possibility, however desperate, of defiance.
Long out of print, these stories will be a revelation to the legions of new fans of No Longer Human, The Setting Sun, and The Flowers of Buffoonery.

The Writers: Portraits
Intimate photo essays of thirty-eight important writers, including Margaret Atwood, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Zadie Smith, and Colm Toibin
"We've all seen writers on the dust jackets of their books. These portraits, it seemed to me, generally failed to convey either character or personality. Writers deserve better. I wanted to make compelling pictures that would stick in the mind's eye."-Laura Wilson
Inspired by the classic photo essays that once appeared in Life magazine, renowned photographer Laura Wilson presents dynamic portraits of thirty-eight internationally acclaimed writers. Through her photos and accompanying texts, she gives us vivid, revealing glimpses into the everyday lives of such luminaries as Rachel Cusk, Edwidge Danticat, David McCullough, Haruki Murakami, and the late Carlos Fuentes and Seamus Heaney, among others. Margaret Atwood works in her garden. Tim O'Brien performs magic tricks for his family. And Louise Erdrich, who contributes an introduction, speaks with customers in her Minneapolis bookstore. At once inviting and poignant, the book reflects on writing and photography's shared concerns with invention, transformation, memory, and preservation. With 220 duotone images, The Writers: Portraits will appeal to fans of literature and photography alike.

Picasso: The Self-Portraits
The first book dedicated to Picasso's self-portraits, many held in private collections and published here for the first time.
Much has been said and written about Picasso's life and art, but until now his self-portraits have never been studied and presented in a single book, perhaps because the artist always left many doubts about his work. However, there is no doubt that Picasso represented himself ceaselessly, whether in a dashed-off pencil sketch, as a flourish at the bottom of a letter, or on a giant canvas.
At the suggestion of Picasso's widow Jacqueline, the distinguished art historian Pascal Bonafoux began researching Picasso's self-portraits more than forty years ago. This meticulously researched book presents the fruits of his decades-long project. From the first attributed painting in 1894 as a thirteen-year-old boy, until Picasso's final self-portrait in 1972, a year before his death, Bonafoux charts the evolution of the artist's life and art. Here is Picasso as a student; as a young bohemian; an impetuous artist in Paris; as harlequin; as lover, husband and father; and finally, as an old man confronting his mortality. The book comprises about 170 drawings, paintings and photographs, some from private collections and previously unpublished, bringing together for the first time the attributed self-portraits of this genius of 20th-century art.
