Śmiały i zaskakujący formą oraz rozbudowany w sferze treści barokowy ołtarz główny w kościele parafialnym pw. św. Erazma i św. Pankracego w Jeleniej Górze przyciąga uwagę widzów od pierwszego spojrzenia. Jest najcenniejszym zabytkiem kościoła miejskiego, a także swoistym theatrum sacrum, który porusza każdego, kto odwiedza jeleniogórską świątynię.
Artur Kolbiarz i Andrzej Kozieł opisują dzieło wyjątkowe, jeden z nielicznych barokowych ołtarzy, które zachowały się do naszych czasów w niemalże pierwotnym stanie. Wykonany przez znakomitych artystów: urodzonego w Oslo rzeźbiarza Thomasa Weissfeldta i głogowskiego malarza Johanna Philippa Kretschmera, ucznia Michaela Willmanna, jest wybitnym przykładem barokowej sztuki na Śląsku oraz świadectwem politycznej i religijnej rzeczywistości, która przyczyniła się do jego powstania. Znakomicie wpisuje się w ówczesną rywalizację między konfesją katolicką i luterańską.
Monografia szczegółowo przybliża historię powstania ołtarza, sylwetki jego twórców, genezę artystycznej formy i architektonicznej konstrukcji, a także analizuje program ideowy zakodowany w malarskich i rzeźbiarskich przedstawieniach. Całość dopełnia ponad sto ilustracji ukazujących niezwykłe piękno tej monumentalnej realizacji, która — dzięki pracom konserwatorskim — odzyskuje dziś dawny blask.
W kolejnym tomie z serii 20 Lat XX Wieku zaprezentowane jest polskie wzornictwo czasów międzywojnia. Odbudowa kraju, tworzenie struktur państwowych, a także dynamicznie zachodzące zmiany społeczne i technologiczne wymagały zastosowania efektywnych i ekonomicznych rozwiązań. Książka autorstwa profesor Irmy Koziny, znawczyni polskiego wzornictwa, pokazuje, jak polscy projektanci odpowiedzieli na bieżące wyzwania, w jakich dziedzinach były realizowane ich projekty i które z nich mają wpływ na współczesne projektowanie przedmiotów użytkowych.

Arriving in Paris from Ravenna in 1973, Paolo Roversi produced his first series of photographs in 1977, which were immediately picked up by the fashion press. From then on, he devoted himself to fashion photography, working for the greatest designers and for the most prestigious magazines, simultaneously occupying a position both at the heart of the fashion world and far from its ephemeral trends.
Ultimately in search of pure beauty, he formulates timeless and mysterious work, which is defined by his choice of studio and use of large format and Polaroid cameras. At the heart of his photography are his dedicated relationships with fashion designers and models, most famously with Yohji Yamamoto, as well as Romeo Gigli, Rei Kawakubo and Dior, and these fruitful collaborations have allowed Roversi to continuously challenge and renew his practice.
Conceived and designed in close collaboration with the photographer, and drawing on his archives, this book features many original prints, including some that have never been seen before. Spanning the entirety of Roversi’s career, it explores his approach to his creative space and the way he treats it like a theatre stage, constantly reinventing it to suit each new collaboration.

Hollywood Fashion explores the art and legacy of the cinematic costume designer, starting with the birth of the modern motion picture industry on a prime piece of California real estate known as Hollywood.
Readers will discover how film clothing evolved from actors selecting items from their home wardrobes to outfits customized for their roles; everything from suits of armor to ball gowns to office attire to lingerie, all created by a studio designer and a dedicated staff of costumers.
They will also encounter the actresses from each decade who displayed a distinct fashion sense, on and off the screen - women who made the costumer's job less demanding by embodying the character and evoking the time, place and circumstances the designer wished to portray.
The body was cold as ice; the heart had long ceased to beat: yet there were no other signs of death.'

A beautifully illustrated celebration of the life and work of activist, provocateur, and fashion icon, Vivienne Westwood.
Vivienne Westwood spent more than five decades breaking the rules and pushing the envelope of the fashion world. Renowned for her rebellious spirit and avant-garde designs, Westwood lived a life dedicated to a free artistic expression that continues to redefine fashion and inspire generations worldwide. She gifted us countless iconic moments and designs, from her days at the Kings Road ‘SEX’ shop and wearing no knickers to receive her OBE from the Queen, to her trailblazing 90s runway collections and her tireless pursuit of social and climate justice.
Beginning with her working-class upbringing and traversing through the McLaren years, her contributions to early punk culture, her most iconic collections and her activism, amongst more, Vivienne Westwood is a new illustrated guide to a true one-of-a-kind.
Longtime collaborators of Pierre Cardin, Jean-Pascal Hesse and Pierre Pelegry share their intimate knowledge of the fashion designer’s early career in Paris. They analyze the influences that inspired him to conceive not only some of the most iconic haute couture creations of the 1950s and 1960s, but also the space-ageinflected Cosmocorps collection, which presciently explored gender fluidity.
By drawing upon sources that have been assembled over more than two decades—from Cardin’s personal recollections to many exclusive photographs by Yoshi Takata and Roland de Vassal—this book pays tribute to the modernity of a visionary creator who revolutionized fashion on a global scale.
Dress Codes
The ultimate compendium of clothing from the 18th to the 20th century
Clothes define people. A person’s attire, whether it be a sari, kimono, or business suit, is an essential code to his or her culture, class, personality, even faith. Indeed, clothing has the power to define people and their generation. Recognizing this sartorial significance is the Kyoto Costume Institute, whose team of curators examine fashion through sociological, historical, and artistic perspectives. With one of the world’s most extensive clothing collections, the KCI has amassed a wide range of historical garments, including underwear, shoes, and fashion accessories dating from the 18th century to the present day.
Showcasing the Institute’s vast collection, Fashion History is a fascinating excursion through clothing trends from the 18th to the 20th century. With photographs of clothing displayed on custom-made mannequins and commentary from some of the sharpest minds in fashion studies, the book is a testimony to attire as “an essential manifestation of our very being” and to the Institute’s passion for fashion as a complex and intricate art form.
Białostocki hotel Ritz jest jedną z legend snutych o dawnym, przedwojennym mieście. Legenda żyje pomimo tego, że od dziesięcioleci budynku sławnego hotelu nie ma. W 1944 roku został spalony i wkrótce, pomimo możliwości odbudowy, rozebrany. Nie powstały legendy innych związanych z historią miasta budowli, nawet tych, które ocalały ze zniszczeń wojennych, bądź zostały odbudowane. Pomimo ciekawej historii nie doczekał się aury legendarności ani pałac Commichaów przy ulicy Warszawskiej 63, ani nawet pałac Branickich. To właśnie Ritzowi białostoczanie przypisali miano symbolu. To w nim upatrywali nośnika wyidealizowanego miasta z jego towarzyskimi elitami i ich szalonymi fanaberiami. To Ritz stał się w Białymstoku synonimem luksusu, a praca w nim nobilitowała nawet wiele lat po zburzeniu gmachu. Przez te wszystkie lata budowania legendy Ritza snuto o nim wiele często niewiarygodnych opowieści, ale przecież to prawo wręcz obowiązek legendy. Książka, którą macie Państwo przed sobą też powstała z chęci dalszego pamiętania.
Despite what society says, humans were born to create and have been doing so since ancient times. Starting with cave paintings, people have documented their heritage and culture regardless of geography, as seen in intricate Indian miniature paintings, awe-inspiring African mural masterpieces, delicate Nordic stone and wood carvings, and dreamy Chinese ink wash landscapes.
Just like its design and branding-focused sister title New Folk Art, Folkish collates a resurgence of old folk tales and traditions through the contemporary brushstrokes of artists who seamlessly blend the old with the new, weaving a new visual tapestry that not only preserves our roots, but also reshapes the vibrant mosaic that is our collective artistic heritage for the future.
[…] Domem książki jest biblioteka: biblioteka (publiczna lub prywatna) to przestrzeń stworzona dla książek i ich odbiorców. A jednak na pewnym poziomie książki i biblioteki to dwie siły połączone specyficzną relacją, której podstawowym napędem jest napięcie, wynikające z ekspansywności jednej strony i nieuchronnej statyczności drugiej. Manguel zadaje niemal oczywiste w tym kontekście pytanie: czy jesteśmy w stanie tak planować przestrzeń biblioteczną, by z jednej strony uwzględnić nieopanowany przyrost nowych tytułów, z drugiej zaś odpowiedzieć na zmieniające się potrzeby czytelniczek i czytelników. Odpowiedź jest banalna -oczywiście, że możemy, nic innego nie robimy od kilku tysięcy lat. Chodzi o to, by tego rodzaju namysł i wynikające z niego działania prowadzić nieustannie, bowiem proces ten nigdy się nie skończy. Nigdy nie dotrzemy do punktu, w którym ukształtowana przez nas przestrzeń biblioteczna będzie doskonała. Dlatego tak niezwykle cenna jest inicjatywa kierownictwa Wojewódzkiej i Miejskiej Biblioteki Publicznej im. Cypriana Norwida w Zielonej Górze, dlatego refleksje wszystkich prelegentek i prelegentów zaproszonych na międzynarodową konferencję naukowa pt. Modernizacja przestrzeni co dolej?" mogą być tak inspirujące. […]

An inspiring collection of the best images from the tastemaking Kinfolk magazine
With over 650,000 copies of their books in print and nearly 50 issues of their magazine distributed worldwide, Kinfolk has come to define the taste of a generation: From interiors to fashion, portraiture, food and travel, the consistently boundary-pushing photography produced by the brand has coalesced into one of the most influential and immersive lifestyle aesthetics of the last decade. The Art of Kinfolk brings more than 300 of the most iconic images from the first decade of the magazine into focus. Ranging from the deceptively simple to the surreal to the perennially stylish, this collection of originally commissioned photography captures the arc of an artistic adventure, a creative community at work, and in the process illuminates one of the most enigmatic aesthetics of the era.
‘This book is an action, a political action where revolution is the goal’
Andrea Dworkin’s blazing, prophetic debut argued that a deep-rooted hatred of women has been ingrained in society for centuries – and still governs us today. From fairy tales to erotic novels to witch-burnings, she uncovers the ways in which male violence and oppression have been normalized throughout history, and points the way to liberation.
‘To see where we are going we must understand where we have been. Woman Hating is a much needed and long overdue addition toward that understanding’ Audre Lorde
‘A singularly powerful voice … Dworkin [gave] definitive expression to the radical feminist tenet that sexual domination was the beating heart of patriarchy’ Amia Srinivasan, LRB
‘Pornography is the orchestrated destruction of women’s bodies and souls … it is war on women’
Pornography, Andrea Dworkin argued in this landmark work, is about power: the power of owning, of money, of sex. It is not merely violence against women, but the essential DNA of male dominance. As images of women’s bodies continue to be manipulated and consumed, her searing, fearless critique of pornographic media is more urgent and discomfiting than ever.
‘A major text for our time’ Adrienne Rich
‘Dworkin writes with power, anger, daring – and from a great care and love of womankind’ Alice Walker
‘The woman who showed us the dark core of pornography, the punishing hatred of women that pervades it’ Guardian
