V roce 2012 se součástí Nakladatelství Slovart stalo nakladatelství Brio. Nakladatelství Brio vydávalo ve spolupráci s předními spisovateli a výtvarníky nádherně ilustrované originální příběhy a sbírky pohádek pro děti od šesti do dvanácti let. Pro starší děti, mládež a dospělé Brio nabízelo sebrané spisy pohádek a bajek od renomovaných spisovatelů, doplněné o to nejlepší z klasické literatury celého světa. V této tradici pokračujeme také my v rámci stejnojmenné edice.

This book offers a radically new perspective on the so-called ‘Pop Art’
creative dynamic that has been around since the 1950s. It does so by
enhancing the term ‘Pop Art’ which has always been recognised as a
misnomer, for it obscures far more than it clarifies. Instead, the book
connects all the art in question to mass-culture which has always
provided its core inspiration. Above all, the book suggests that this
Mass-Culture Art has created a new Modernist tradition which is still
flourishing. The book traces that tradition through the forty or more
years since Pop/Mass-Culture Art first came into being in the 1950s, and
locates it within its larger historical context.
Naturally the book discusses the major contributors to the
Pop/Mass-Culture Art tradition right up to the present, in the process
including a number of artists who have never previously been connected
with so-called ‘Pop Art’ but who have always been primarily interested
in mass-culture, and who are therefore partially or totally connected
with Pop/Mass-Culture Art. The book reproduces in colour and discusses
in great detail over 150 of the key works of the Pop/Mass-Culture Art
tradition. Often this involves the close reading of images whose meaning
has largely escaped understanding previously. The result is a book that
qualitatively is fully on a level with Eric Shanes’s other best-selling
and award-winning writings.
