Dali
¥40.79
身为画家、设计师、奇异物品发明者、作家以及电影导演,达利可以说是著名的超现实主义者。布纽埃尔、洛卡、毕加索和布列塔尼都对他的生涯产生了巨大的影响。达利的电影,《一只安达卢西亚犬》标志着他进入了巴黎超现实派,在那里他遇到了盖拉,他一生的伴侣和灵感源泉。但是,当1939年他与安德烈·布列塔尼决裂,他与此派关系交恶。然而,达利的艺术哲学与艺术表现仍然归于超现实主义,并成为超现实主义的典范。终其一生,达利是一位天才的具有自我提升力、创造力的神秘人物。
Gauguin
¥40.79
保罗·高更早是一名水手,之后成为巴黎一名成功的股票经纪人,不过1874年他开始在周末画画,9年之后,在一次股市崩盘之后,他退休成为全职画家。1891年高更离开法国,在塔希提度过两年时光,并决定了他未来的生活和职业。1895年,他回到那里。在塔希提,高更发现了原始的自然艺术,并真诚地用画布展现出来。从那时起他的画作表现了这样的风格:构图简洁;色彩纯净明亮,具有观赏性;对异度风景的从容表现。高更称之为“合成象征理论”。
August Macke
¥61.23
奥古斯特·麦克(1887-1914),德国表现主义大师。德国表现主义萌芽于19世纪早期,主张放弃勾勒物理实在的艺术,转而致力于谋求情绪的表达,尤其注重于表达悲惨和恐惧的黑暗情绪。麦克是色彩与形体大师,创作了很多吸引人眼球、引起观赏者强烈共鸣的作品。他的笔下既有阳光明媚的突尼斯街道,也有阴云密布的波恩大教堂和那些不知名的拥挤的火车站。在这本书中,作者沃尔特·科恩回顾了这位艺术家短暂的一生,看似潜力无限的他,却终英年早逝。
Van Dyck

安东尼·凡·代克(Anthony Van Dyck,1599-1641)在年近十六岁之时就有了自己的个工作室,从那时起他便在艺术界堪称传奇人物。荷兰著名画家鲁宾斯(Rubens)是代克的启蒙导师,他评价代克为自己有才华的学生。代克之后成为了英格兰和西班牙著名的宫廷画家,也算是不辱才华之名。历史学家、学者和艺术爱好者也欣赏他的作品的复杂精妙和永恒之美。在这本引人入胜的小册子是凡·代克那几十年的艺术生涯的缩影,娜塔莉亚(Natalia Gritsai)将凡·代克一生杰出的作品奉献给了读者。
Francisco Goya
¥85.76
Astudy of Francisco Goya’s life and work appears to present many contradictions. For nearly forty years Goya was the principal painter at court and he recorded the glittering wealth of the Spanish nobility. At the same time, in one of the least enlightened countries in Europe, Goya was a liberal thinker. He was a tireless commentator on the social conditions of his age. He hated authority in any form, be it priest, soldier or official, and above all he hated those who exploited the helpless. He was concerned with the floating population, with criminals and prostitutes, and by the crippling poverty that resulted from the injustices of an uneven distribution of wealth. The court must have been ignorant of his criticism or blind to his cries of protest.
Paul Gauguin

On 8 May 1903, having lost a futile and fatally exhausting battle with colonial officials, threatened with a ruinous fine and an imprisonment for allegedly instigating the natives to mutiny and slandering the authorities, after a week of acute physical sufferings endured in utter isolation, an artist who had devoted himself to glorifying the pristine harmony of Oceania’s tropical nature and its people died. There is bitter irony in the name given by Gauguin to his house at Atuona – “Maison du Jouir” (House of Pleasure) – and in the words carved on its wood reliefs, Soyez amoureuses et vous serez heureuses (Be in love and you will be happy) and Soyez mystérieuses (Be mysterious). After receiving news of the death of their old enemy, the bishop and the brigadier of gendarmes – the pillars of the local colonial regime – hastened to demonstrate their fatherly concern for the salvation of the sinner’s soul by having him buried in the sanctified ground of a Catholic cemetery. Only a small gr

在向日葵之上,在鸢尾花之外,在加谢医生的肖像背后,有一个男人——梵高。他敏感脆弱,他天赋异禀,从1853年出生到1890年去世这几十年的岁月里,后印象主义画家梵高用他的创造力和技巧塑造了十九世纪绘画的概念。他成为了表现主义、野兽派和现代艺术的先驱。但是今天,梵高成为了备受疾病折磨的画家的象征,受制于他人,更受制于自己。在这本著作中,作者从梵高的书信和绘画入手,探索色彩的新的表现方式。传奇总是与平庸并存,伟大的艺术天才也总会遭遇现实的繁琐。
Canaletto
¥122.54
乔凡尼安东尼奥康纳尔(Venetian Giovanni Antonio Canal),通常被叫做卡纳莱托(Canaletto,1697-1768)受父亲的影响进入了绘画和透视的世界。他是一位剧院的装修师,他的城市景观图为有名。当时的业余爱好者从意大利旅行归来后,也带回了他们的城市绘画。卡纳莱托成为了巴洛克时代西罗尼希玛的化身。卡纳莱托在绘画中注重隔开不同位面,他也是这一技巧的先驱人物,他以精确的细节装饰绘画。为了更好地强调距离,卡纳莱托层用一架针孔照相机把摄得的画面投影到幕布上,然后在幕布上精确地描绘出风景。卡纳莱托的绘画是静态的,利用线条的准确性和调色板的不同色调,在他手中创造了艺术*美丽的全景图。 在这本引人入胜、内容丰富的著作中,Octave Uzanne激发了读者对于这位十七世纪的不同寻常的威尼斯画家的热情。
Bauhaus

The appendix, with its compressed chronology summarising the history of the Bauhaus and evoking parallel events in culture, politics, technology and science, allows for individual conclusions and the identification of links and references not included in the text.
Antoni Gaudí
¥122.54
安东尼·高迪(1852-1926)是西班牙建筑师和设计师,是西班牙当代艺术史上十分重要和具有影响力的人物。他对于色彩的运用,对材料的采纳和将有机形态融入到建筑中,都是建筑领域的创新。在他的日记中,高迪自由地表达了自己对艺术的看法:“用于建筑的色彩要紧实、有序和丰富。”他已经完成的作品巴特罗公寓(Casa Batllo, 1905-1907)和米拉公寓(Casa Mila, 1905-1910)以及他尚未竣工的作品(修复巴塞罗那的波夫莱特修道院和阿雷亚祭坛)展示了这一重要的艺术哲学。他的家具设计也蕴含着同样的哲理,例如他自己的办公室(1878)或者是巴塞罗那皇家广场的灯具都体现了这一点。圣家族大教堂(Sagrada Familia, 1882-1926)是具有重大纪念意义的项目,高迪终未能见到它的竣工(在高迪去世之时,该教堂尚未完成)。
Art of Islam
¥122.54
伊斯兰艺术并不是某个国家或者某个民族的艺术,而是一种宗教的艺术:伊斯兰教。从阿拉伯半岛延展开来,宗教的皈依者在几个世纪中征服了从大西洋到印度洋的领土。跨越了多文化和多种族,这种多形态和高度精神化的艺术禁止所有关于人和神的东西,发展出教规和极具装饰艺术价值多种动机。这些艺术家详细而独出心裁地表达了他们的信念,创造了诸如耶路撒冷的阿克萨清真寺、阿格拉的泰姬陵和格拉纳达的阿罕布拉宫等不朽之作。
Bikini Story
¥122.54
The beginning of a new millennium – let alone a new century – simply demands a quick but thorough look back at the past hundred years. Different outline sketches of the history of the twentieth century might all too quickly resort to headline-style formulae about “a century of war and terrorism”, “a century of barbarism”, and omit any mention of a great number of events and triumphs that should be rightfully regarded as entirely positive. These might seem to have been of secondary significance in relation to more sombre events, but they certainly cannot be excluded if our historical round-up of a hundred years is to retain its proper balance, if it is to be truly historical, and not be reduced to checklists of damage and destruction, of wars and disasters alike and their cost of lives and property, of the numbers of casualties, and of the people, places, and things that are now as if they had never been.
Andrea Mantegna and the Italian Renaissance
¥122.54
The art of Andrea Mantegna (born c.1431, died 1506) has long maintained a broad and deep appeal. From the impressive illusionism of his earliest works (Fig. 4) to the narrative power of his mature paintings (Fig. 2), Mantegna's art remained vivid and heroic, dramatic and emotional. They are also painted in stunning detail: pebbles, blades of grass, veins, and hair are rendered with excruciating care, and he depicted even in his great narrative works the mundane particulars of earthly existence, showing laundry hanging out to dry and buildings fallen into disrepair. He had a deep interest in human nature and issues of moral character. Perhaps most strikingly, Mantegna's pictures are filled with references to classical antiquity. No other painter of the fifteenth century so thoroughly understood and abundantly included in his art the costumes, drapery folds, in*ions, architecture, subject matter, ethical attitude, and other aspects of ancient classical civilisation. And instead of t
Bonnard and the Nabis
¥122.54
The Nabis group, assembled by Paul Sérusier, was comprised of several members from the Académie Julian. In refusing to comply with the rules of Impressionism, these artists claimed instead to be largely influenced by Gaugin. Their name, derived from the Hebrew Nahbi, signifies a prophet or a visionary, thus symbolizing their will to discover the sacred nature of writing. They were largely influenced by Japanese art, most notably wood engravings, as well as popular and primitive art and the art of the symbolic artist, Pierre Puvis de Chavannes. Although they all differed considerably from one another, there were two lines of thought in particular on which they all agreed; firstly, subjective misinterpretation, born within the artist’s emotions accentuating certain aspects of the subject that is being depicted, and secondly, objective misinterpretation ensuring the depiction finds its place in the fundamental order of the work. Their art is characterized by an absence of perspective and
Bosch

在电子游戏发明之前,希罗尼穆斯波希(Hieronymus Bosch)的笔下就已经创作出了恐怖但丑萌的怪物,还带有一点小幽默。他的作品是自信的宣言,有力地挑战了背叛基督教教义之人的精神恐慌。波希生于1450年,死于1516年,他的出生之时正值文艺复兴的高潮时期,也见证了这一时期的宗教战争。中世纪传统和价值观轰然倒塌,为新世纪的到来开辟了道路。在这样的新世纪里,信念失去了力量和魔力。 ?波希开始警告那些不信教者和对上帝丧失了信仰的人——等待是危险的。波希相信所有人必须要有自己的道德选择,他关注地狱、天堂和欲望的主题,才华横溢地挖掘了水果和植物的象征意义,让他的意向充满了强烈的性欲色彩。这本独特的选集展示了波希为引人入胜的作品,小巧的形式也让它成为了一份完美的礼物。
Lempicka
¥122.54
Tamara de Lempicka created some of the most iconic images of the twentieth century. Her portraits and nudes of the years 1925-1933 grace the dust jackets of more books than the work of any other artist of her time. Publishers understand that in reproduction, these pictures have an extraordinary power to catch the eye and kindle the interest of the public. In recent years, the originals of the images have fetched record sums at Christie’s and Sotheby’s. Beyond the purchasing power of most museums, these paintings have been eagerly collected by film and pop stars.
Remington

After the New World had been settled by European immigrants landing on America’s eastern coastline, the only direction to go was west. This new country contained untold fortunes, and drew adventurers who wished to explore this vast frontier, and settlers who longed to make it their own.
Russian Painting
¥122.54
At the time when Dionysius and his sons were active, ownership of icons became increasingly common. Previously nobles and merchants had begun the practice of displaying them in a place of honour in their homes, sometimes even in a special room, but now peasant families who could afford it also began to hang icons in a krasny ugol, or“beautiful corner”.
The Art of Champa
¥122.54
Evoking Champa means glorifying death, sanctifying remnants, magnifying clues, singing the praises of mourning, and reconstructing history. Champa only exists now in the memories of a diminishing collection of living people who desire eternal life, in a half-audible melody – necessarily exotic – that is hummed by a few disquieted spirits.
The Brueghels
¥122.54
After an initial period of brilliance, during which time it rose to achieve perfection, Flemish art gradually fell into decline. Although thorough studies of its origins have revealed works, in particular those of the miniaturists, that are deserving of notice and which predate the artistic careers of the two Van Eycks, Hubert and Jan, the genius of the brothers remains stunningly spectacular, surpassing that of their predecessors to such a degree that it would be impossible to find an equally sudden, decisive and glorious evolution in the history of art.
