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
￥122.54
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
￥122.54
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.
Romanesque Art
￥122.54
罗马艺术指的是11世纪到13世纪的艺术史。这一时代有各种学派百家争鸣，多种多样，各具特色。在建筑和雕塑领域，罗马艺术的特色是具有原始的形式。这本著作通过丰富的插图和迷人的文字，重新发现这种在当今备受轻视的中世纪艺术仍然可与之后功成名就的哥特艺术相媲美。
Diego Rivera
￥122.54
弗里达卡罗（Frida Kahlo）与迭戈里维拉（Diego Rivera）在1928年相识，当年弗里达才21岁，而迭戈42岁。当时迭戈已经是举世闻名的画家，而弗里达还在努力中。 这对备受折磨的组合——特别是对于弗里达来说，在痛苦和磨难中催生了大量艺术创作。弗里达时常处于丈夫的阴影下，忍受着他的不忠和她的妒忌，将所有的痛苦倾注在了画布上，逐渐吸引了公众的目光。在美洲和欧洲两块大陆上，坚定的艺术家宣告着自由的自白书，留下了卓越绝伦的才华。 在这本书中，作者Gerry Souter不仅为我们带来了艺术家的传记，也热情地凸显了这两位二十世纪伟大的墨西哥艺术家之间的联系。
Art of War
￥122.54
在历史的进程中，很多战争改变了这个世界的政治文化格局。尽管重大事件取决于战争的剧变和激烈程度，战争也影响了整个民族和几代人的身份定位，因而产生了深远的文化效应。尽管在激烈动荡的时期，战争对身体和情绪造成了破坏，但也刺激了丰富的艺术创造。几个世纪以来，伴随着战争的创伤数不胜数的艺术家创造了不朽的作品来祭奠战争中*戏剧性的时刻，从而将它们永恒定格在历史中。 这本著作中优美的画作刻画了著名的战役和战争场景，形象地加入了传说的中国孙子兵法的说明，以及记载了不同战争中重要的时刻，每一篇都由著名的作者撰写。从乌切洛（Uccello）的《圣罗马洛战争》（The Battle of San Romano）到毕加索的《格尔尼卡》（Guernica），这本著作为我们展现了战争灵感下艺术作品的魅力以及它们所展现的人类历史。
African Art
￥122.54
Well-known and appreciated by Africanists, Maurice Delafosse (1870-1926) knew how to exceed the requirements of his environment and of his time for the benefit of an authentic Africa.
Aestheticism in Art
￥122.54
It is no wonder that this subject was considered inexplicable for so long, as the nature of many parts of it cannot possibly come within the reach of mere men with pens; otherwise those ingenious gentlemen who have published treatises about it (and who wrote much more learnedly than can be expected from one who never took up the pen before) would not so soon have been bewildered in their accounts of it and obliged so suddenly to turn into the broad and more beaten path of moral beauty, in order to extricate themselves from the difficulties they seem to have met with in this. What’s more, they were forced for the same reasons to amuse their readers with amazing (but often misapplied) encomiums on deceased painters and their performances, wherein they continually discoursed effects instead of developing causes. After much flattery, in very pleasing language, one is fairly set down just from where they were picked up, honestly confessed to that in terms of grace, the main point in questio
Persian Art
￥122.54
This book consists of two sections. The wide-ranging introduction attempts to outline the basic stages in the development of Persian Art, from the first appearance of Persian peoples on the Iranian plateau during the 10th-8th centuries BCE up to the 19th century CE. Detailed commentaries on the works of art reproduced here provide not only factual information (dates, iconography, provenance, techniques, etc.), but are also, in many instances, followed by brief scholarly studies of the examples of Persian art housed in various museums of the former Soviet Union that are, in the authors’ opinion, of the greatest interest and significance. Some of these objects are reproduced and discussed here for the first time.
Central Asian Art
￥122.54
Ever since the Bronze Age and the beginning of the Iron Age, Central Asia has rivalled with classical Eastern Asia (which extended from Mesopotamia to India) in the abilities and skills of its peoples. In the 6th century BCE it was largely conquered by the powerful Achaemenian Dynasty and in the 4th century BCE by Alexander the Great's army which gave it considerable artistic impetus. The period between the 3rd century BCE and the 3rd century CE marked the area with the appearance of powerful Kingdoms: the Parthians of the Arsacid dynasty (south of Turkmenistan, in Persia, and in part of Mesopotamia), the Greco-Bactrians, the Kushans (which included Bactria and the territory beyond Amu-Daria as far as the Indus and the Ganges), the Kangas (that united the Kharezm, the Sogdian, and the northern territories) whose social and cultural development founded an entirely new cultural impulse throughout the territory they controlled.
Icons
￥122.54
As such, icons deserve the attention of art historians, for artistic handicrafts present difficult and complicated problems to historical interpretation which, for such reasons, have long been avoided. The time has come for Russian archaeology to study Russian icon-painting and trace through this particular phenomenon's five centuries of history. Three centuries of neglect beginning with Peter the Great have sundered the Russian people from the last flourishing period of this artform and destroyed a greater number of icons than all the town fires and devastations in the Russian countryside combined.
Leonardo da Vinci volume 2
￥122.54
莱昂纳多·达·芬奇（1453—1519）不仅仅是位出神入化的画家，也是一位科学家、解剖师、雕塑家、建筑家、音乐家、工程师、发明家，乃至更多。那么也许该这么问：他不是什么呢？在意大利文艺复兴时期，他为意大利美第奇家族和法国王室创作了美的作品。达·芬奇深受同辈的钦佩，是个闻名全世界的少有而高尚的天才。即使是今天，人们对达·芬奇和他的作品的兴趣仍然丝毫没有消退；时代前沿的艺术家们仍然在研习他的作品和书法，希望能够揭开这位远见卓识的艺术家的秘密。
Paul Klee
￥122.54
作为二十世纪早期的标志性人物，保罗·克利（Paul Klee）参与了德国和瑞士前卫的先锋派运动。从充满活力的青骑士运动开始，到二十世纪三十年代末的超现实主义时期，以及他在包豪斯从教的岁月里，保罗·克利研究了诗歌、文学、以及重要的音乐等其他艺术媒介，来试图抓住绘画那有机的、和谐的本质。尽管他与其他艺术家——例如奥古斯特·麦克（August Macke?）和雅弗林斯基（Alexej von Jawlensky）合作过，但他有名的合作伙伴还是抽象表现主义画家瓦西里·康定斯基（Wassily Kandinsky）。作者艾力克．薛恩斯（Eric Shanes）——她还是安迪·沃霍尔（Andy Warhol）和布朗库西（Constantin Brancusi）的专著作者——的这本专著，通过收集和展示保罗·克利重要的作品，向读者发出了探索这位画家诗人那无可替代的艺术人生的邀请。
William Morris
￥122.54
For us there is a violent contrast between the beauty of nature and the ugliness of man’s work which most past ages have felt little or not at all. We think of a town as spoiling the country, and even of a single modern house as a blot on the face of the earth. But in the past, until the eighteenth century, men thought that their own handiwork heightened the beauty of nature or was, at least, in perfect harmony with it. We are aware of this harmony in a village church or an old manor house or a thatched cottage, however plain these may be; and wonder at it as a secret that we have lost.
American Graffiti
￥122.54
自从二十世纪七十年代早期起，涂鸦艺术家便用铺天盖地的复杂标签占领了地铁车厢。Margo Thompson在书中分析了这种决然反抗的表现形式，他将涂鸦艺术家与当代走廊艺术联系了起来。正如涂鸦艺术家代表了少数种族人发声，这位作家也用原始的方式成为了这种被误解的艺术形式的代言人。这本著作从新的角度分析了涂鸦艺术和巴斯奎特（Basquiat）作品的交叉性。这本书的可读性不仅在于讨论这一话题的作品少之又少，同样，这本书本身也吸引了大量的读者。
