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。

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。

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。

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。

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。

The smoothly metallic portraits, nudes and still lifes of Tamara de Lempicka encapsulate the spirit of Art Deco and the Jazz Age, and reflect the elegant and hedonistic life-style of a wealthy, glamorous and privileged elite in Paris between the two World Wars. Combining a formidable classical technique with elements borrowed from Cubism, Lempicka’s art represented the ultimate in fashionable modernity while looking back for inspiration to such master portraitists as Ingres and Bronzino. This book celebrates the sleek and streamlined beauty of her best work in the 1920s and 30s. It traces the extraordinary life story of this talented and glamorous woman from turn of the century Poland and Tsarist Russia, through to her glorious years in Paris and the long years of decline and neglect in America, until her triumphant rediscovery in the 1970s when her portraits gained iconic status and world-wide popularity.

直到二十世纪中期,长期以来备受争议的意大利画家卡拉瓦乔(Caravaggio,1571-1610)才重新被发现。作为现实主义的倡导者,这位反宗教改革的艺术家挑战陈习旧规,回归圣人形象的人性感。这位神秘的画家赋予了圣人纵欲之情,远远超出了通常的圣人崇拜,为模糊的色情打开了一扇门,这也导致了教廷的愤怒。这位影子画家矛盾而强烈地阐释了他堕落的生活方式和放荡的道德准绳。他所创造的明暗处理技巧,在艺术史上留下了血腥的印象。

Since The Turkish Baths (1863) by the French painter Ingres, the Far Eastern woman has, to many, been a symbol of out of reach or forbidden pleasures. Seafaring explorers, military adventurers and simple travellers from Europe over the centuries have all been enthralled by the exotic nature of the Asian woman, her foreignness accentuated by the gentle pallor of her skin. Thus arose the myth that she, of all women, was in possession of the knowledge of certain refined pleasures.

一直以来,艺术家都与动物世界保持着紧密的关系,这样常常是他们灵感的无穷无尽的资源。首先,他们直接从环境中获得灵感。动物是人类的朋友,是亲密的家庭生活的象征,也是天马行空的想象力的起点,因此在艺术中频频出现,特别是在文艺复兴时期备受推崇。在之后的东方主义中,异国动物群出现在动物艺术中,吸引了当代艺术家的目光。动物及其野性的美通过阿尔布雷特·丢勒(Albrecht Durer)、布勒哲尔(Pieter Brueghel)、莱昂纳多·达·芬奇(Leonard da Vinci)、欧仁·德拉克洛瓦(Eugene Delacroix)、亨利·卢梭 (Henri Rousseau)和保罗·克利(Paul Klee)的作品在本书中体现得淋漓尽致。

圣经中的后一部语言,称为《启示录》或者《若望默示录》,揭示了世界末日所发生之事。在中世纪时期,宗教权威统治了社会,上帝的信仰深入人心,关于世界末日的话题也常常出现在艺术之中。宗教话题那些象征性的内容常常引发不同的解释,不同的说法往往援引不同类型的支撑材料(壁毯、彩图级、雕塑和绘画)。这本书收集了有名的宗教主题作品,例如昂热大教堂(Angers Cathedral)的天启帘,欧坦大教堂(Autun Cathedral)雕刻的半月楣,阿尔比教堂(Albi Cathedral)的壁画。启示录的话题能够让艺术家们发挥自己的想象力来表现内心。

Picasso was born a Spaniard and, so they say, began to draw before he could speak. As an infant he was instinctively attracted to artist’s tools. In early childhood he could spend hours in happy concentration drawing spirals with a sense and meaning known only to himself. At other times, shunning children’s games, he traced his first pictures in the sand. This early self-expression held out promise of a rare gift. Málaga must be mentioned, for it was there, on 25 October 1881, that Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born and it was there that he spent the first ten years of his life. Picasso’s father was a painter and professor at the School of Fine Arts and Crafts. Picasso learnt from him the basics of formal academic art training. Then he studied at the Academy of Arts in Madrid but never finished his degree. Picasso, who was not yet eighteen, had reached the point of his greatest rebelliousness; he repudiated academia’s anemic aesthetics along with realism’s pedestrian prose and, quite naturall

Trusts a Practical Guide
Trusts a Practical Guide
Terence O'halloran
¥24.44
Within the genre of financial selfhelp, ‘Trusts A Practical Guide’ is an invaluable and rare resource for financial experts and members of the public alike who need a reference work on a subject that is, on the face of it, complex but which undeniably affects many people’s lives at one point or another. Whatever your occupation or background, you are almost certain at some time to need some understanding of this subject, whether in your own financial planning or in advising those around you – and this guide is particularly helpful when dealing with a relative’s probate or the complex issues arising from an inheritance.After thirtyfive years at the top of his profession, FSA member Terry O'Halloran writes passionately and informatively, not only about his subject but also about the importance of spreading the word to others. He has seen many times first hand the benefits of wellorganized and implemented financial planning on people’s lives. More poignantly, he has seen what can happen when such matters are left to chance.Using famous historical characters, placing them in recognizable situations and using real life case histories, he explains the organization and procedure of Trusts simply and easily bringing his subject alive by putting it in a perspective that is easily assimilated by the layman. Terry O'Halloran clearly explains the intricacies of Trusts and confronts their realities with reallife examples such as a family case involving a number of exwives, a business partnership that goes very expensively wrong and even the attempted murder of a director and removal of the wouldbe assassin (as a Trustee). Building the full picture from simple steps, the author explains the merits or otherwise of trusts and their uses with life assurance and pension products. “Trusts are the most important adjunct to life assurance, business protection, estate planning and pension provision. A basic understanding is essential,” he insists. After searching in vain for a book for his own use, the need for a reference book on this subject was clear. “I needed a reference book that I could refer to during the working day but which would also be simple enough for any of my clients to understand. So I wrote one – in fact I had to write it because there was simply nothing suitable in existence. Moreover, I use it all the time. My own copies are dogeared from use.” “I believe,’ Trusts’ is a practical tool for the professional’s everyday use and a good guide for the layman.
