A wonderfully illustrated exploration of one of Hokusai's key motifs: Mount Fuji.

Hokusai's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji and the three volumes of his subsequent One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji show his fascination with a single motif: Mount Fuji. Hokusai's near-obsession with Fuji was part of his hankering after artistic immortality – in Buddhist and Daoist tradition, Fuji was thought to hold the secret to eternal life, as one popular interpretation of its name suggests: 'Fu-shi' ('not death'). Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji was produced from c. 1830 to 1832 when Hokusai was in his seventies and at the height of his career. Among the prints are three of the artist's most famous: The Great Wave off Kanagawa, Fine Wind, Clear Morning and Thunderstorm Beneath the Summit. By the time he created his second great tribute to Mount Fuji, three volumes comprising One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji, he was using the artist names Gakyo rojin ('Old Man Crazy to Paint'), and Manji ('Ten Thousand Things', or 'Everything'). Contrasting the mountain's steadfastness and solidity with the ravages of the surrounding elements, Hokusai depicts Fuji through different seasons, weather conditions and settings, and in so doing communicates an important message: while life changes, Fuji stands still.

Including all the illustrations from these two masterpieces, this book also features many of Hokusai’s earlier renditions of the

Chatsworth has been home to the Cavendish family and the hereditary dukes of Devonshire since the original Elizabethan house was built on the site purchased by Sir William Cavendish in 1549. A famous historic house in England, Chatsworth is renowned as much for its fashionable history—its majestic dresses and tiaras, its magnificent lace and splendid uniforms—as its unrivaled collection of art, its palatial gardens, and its celebrated family dynasty.

A new take on the history of art as parodied, reinterpreted and ultimately reinforced by the international phenomenon that is Banksy.

Few would dispute that Banksy is the most famous urban artist in the world today. That he is also one of the most perceptive art historians of our age might come as a surprise to many. Taken together, the myriad memorable works the street artist has created over the course of the past thirty years, since his emergence in the Bristol underground scene in the early 1990s, constitute an audacious commentary on the history of image-making – a captivating critique waiting to be pieced together.

Armed with little more than stencils, spray paint and an anonymizing cloak of after-hours darkness, Banksy has forged an alluring identity for himself as an incorrigible prankster who doesn’t embrace tradition, but shreds it. Consider Banksy and you think of grubby city walls far removed from elite galleries and privileged museums where art is conventionally shown. What actually illuminates Banksy’s audacious murals, impromptu urban sculptures and vandalized paintings, however, is a profound understanding of the story of art. He wields this secret knowledge like a weapon against our senses.

Through the dark satirical lens of Banksy’s mischievous reimagined masterpieces, art history is viewed afresh and brought into unexpected focus. From his droll lampooning of the Lascaux cave paintings to his reinvention of Monet’s enchanting water-lily pond, a reboot of Géricault’s tragic gut-wrenching vision to Vermeer's girl now instilled with street cred, everyone’s genius is grist for his unmerciful mill. Far from being diminished in their significance, however, the works that Banksy ruthlessly parodies are ultimately refurbished by the ordeal. Banksy’s iconoclastic works force us to rethink our affection for, and appreciation of, great works of art that define cultural history.

Оновлений та перероблений посібник How to Shoot Video That Doesn’t Suck – це короткий і простий посібник, який миттєво покращить ваше відео – незалежно від того, чи ви прочитаєте його від початку до кінця, чи просто переглянете кілька розділів. Він розповідає про мову відео та про те, як мислити як режисер, незалежно від обладнання (аматори думають про камеру, професіонали – про комунікацію). Він розповідає про правила, розроблені протягом століття кіновиробництва, які так само добре працюють і під час зйомки вечірки з нагоди дня народження дворічної дитини на телефон. Написаний Стівом Стокманом, режисером нагородженого фільму «Два тижні», а також телешоу, музичних кліпів та сотень рекламних роликів, посібник «Як знімати відео, яке не буде поганим» у 74 коротких, лаконічних та проникливих розділах пояснює, як розповісти історію та розважити свою аудиторію. Іншими словами, як знімати відео, які люди захочуть подивитися.

Ось як мислити кадрами – як рухатися-наводити-знімати-зупиняти-повторювати, замість того, щоб залишатися на одному місці та натискати кнопку «Запис» протягом п’яти хвилин. Чому ніколи не варто знімати, доки не побачите білки очей об'єкта зйомки. Чому варто «зумувати» ногами, а не об'єктивом. Як створити інтригу на камері. Книга охоплює основи відеовиробництва: кадрування, освітлення, звук (використовуйте зовнішній мікрофон), монтаж, спецефекти (вимкніть їх!), а також дає поради щодо зйомки в різних конкретних ситуаціях: спортивних подіях, вечірках та сімейних зустрічах, випускних та виступах. Крім того, розповідає, як створювати навчальні та рекламні відео, як знімати музичний кліп, як знімати трюки та багато іншого. В кінці кожного розділу є порада, як негайно застосувати отримані знання на практиці, щоб наступного разу, коли ви зніматимете, ви вже почали опановувати цю навичку. Вебсайт Стіва (stevestockman.com) містить відеоприклади для ілюстрації різних ідей, технік та ситуацій виробництва, а також його останні думки щодо всього, що стосується відео.

This is the first comprehensive overview of the career to date of British-born Jamaican artist Hurvin Anderson (b. 1965). Anderson is known for painting lush and loosely rendered observations of scenes and spaces loaded with personal meaning.

Turner Prize-nominated artist Hurvin Anderson is best known for his brightly painted, densely detailed landscapes and interior scenes — particularly those relating to his upbringing in the Afro-Caribbean community in the Midlands of England, as well as more recent trips to the Caribbean. Anderson’s luscious paintings have hybridity at their heart. A tug-of-war plays out between abstraction and figuration, nature versus the manmade, beauty and menace, and his British and Jamaican heritage.

Born in the United Kingdom as a member of the Jamaican diaspora, Anderson relates to the Caribbean as both insider and outsider, aware of the mythmaking that the idea of lost or future paradise generates. This book, Anderson’s first major monograph, has been carefully curated by the artist himself and includes paintings, sketches, source material and ephemera, and studio shots. The volume also features a foreword by Courtney J. Martin, an in-depth and deeply considered essay by art historian Catherine Lampert, poems by Roger Robinson, and an illustrated chronology.

Захопливий постапокаліптичний науково-фантастичний графічний роман від відомого творця всесвітів Бена Мауро, ідеальний для шанувальників «Дюни» та «Зоряних війн».

Побудований на попелі ядерного голокосту, колись процвітаючий світ, зруйнований поколіннями планетарних війн, тепер лежить у вічному руйнуванні. Щоб врятувати людство від самого себе, штучний інтелект, що залишився, виводив та клонував елітних людей як робітників, солдатів та силовиків – броньованих воїнів, відомих як Роніни – щоб допомогти підтримувати порядок і дати людству мету в цьому новому світі. Після певного віку клони починають думати самостійно та відправляються на дедалі небезпечніші місії, поки їх не вбивають або не «виходять на пенсію», замінюючи молодшими та більш слухняними клонами, доки цикл не повториться знову.

Поки людство кульгає в цьому новому світі, життя двох солдатів, Макса та Кая, незворотно переплітаються під час рутинної місії після виявлення стародавнього розумного робота, відомого як Хакслі, у пустках безлюдної планети. Ці двоє постапокаліптичних шукачів несподівано опиняються втягнутими в таємницю галактичного масштабу, і в міру розгортання саги читач починає розгадувати справжнє призначення Хакслі. Приголомшлива дебютна пригода Бена Мауро готує ґрунт для захопливого нового науково-фантастичного всесвіту, яким читачі та шанувальники жанру зможуть насолодитися та закохатися.

Winner of the James A. Porter and David C.
