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.

如果色情也有一个名字的话,那肯定是喜多川歌麿。喜多川歌麿细腻地勾画了构成江户时代的乐之园。丰富多样的画布,天鹅长长的脖颈,神秘的面孔,寥寥几笔,便是东方的肉欲之欢。

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.

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.

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。

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。
Andrea Mantegna and the Italian Renaissance
Andrea Mantegna and the Italian Renaissance
Joseph Manca

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

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)。

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。

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.

Sargent was born in Florence, in 1856, the son of cultivated parents. When Sargent entered the school of Carolus-Duran he attained much more than the average pupils. His father was a retired Massachusetts gentleman, having practised medicine in Philadelphia. Sargent’s home life was penetrated with refinement, and outside it were the beautiful influences of Florence, combining the charms of sky and hills with the wonders of art in the galleries and the opportunities of an intellectual and artistic society. Accordingly, when Sargent arrived in Paris, he was not only a skilful draughtsman and painter as a result of his study of the Italian masters, but he also had a refined and cultivated taste, which perhaps had an even greater influence upon his career. Later in Spain, it was chiefly upon the lessons learned from Velázquez that he found his own brilliant method. Sargent belongs to America, but is claimed by others as a citizen of the world, or a cosmopolitan. Sargent, with the exception

爱德华·霍普,1882年出生于奈阿克,是重要的美国画家之一。在学习了插图画之后,他进入了大名鼎鼎的纽约艺术学院学习,师从罗伯特·亨利(Robert Henri)。亨利对霍普产生了重大的影响,他鼓励霍普从美国人的生活中去发现素材。在创作中,诗意地表达了人们反对二十世纪二十年代的美国生活方式的孤独。受到电影作品—特别是多种摄影角度和人物性格的影响,他的绘画作品表达了对大众文化的疏离感。通过采用冷色调和绘画匿名人物,霍普的作品同样象征性地反映了大萧条时期。尽管霍普曾多次游历欧洲,但他在当时流行的的改革绘画面前仍然无动于衷,例如立体主义,例如超现实主义。霍普用一种非常个性化的形式来表达主题,致力于效仿古典艺术家,例如伦布兰特(Rembrandt)、德加斯(Degas)或者杜米埃(Daumier)。他绘画的加油站、旅馆和日常生活的场景代表了对个人主义的美学宣言、宽敞的开放空间和美国的基本价值观。霍普在1967年去世了,在美国艺术上留下了后的痕迹。

文森特·梵·高的生活和创作是如此紧密地联系在一起,以至于不了解他的生平便无法理解其作品。他作为生存环境的局外人而不被人理解成为痛苦的现代艺术殉难者的化身。一篇文章这样描述他,“一个可怕的疯狂的天才,常常表现卓越,有时荒诞,总是站在近乎病态的边缘。”1888年2月,文森特离开巴黎前往阿尔勒,那几个月是他一生中产的时期,次年他开始了著名的自残行为并且先后三次住院。据说他是在1890年7月29日,在一片田野里朝自己开枪自杀的,他的弟弟特奥这样描述他生命的后时刻,“他说想自杀,当时我坐在他身边向他保证我们会努力治愈他······但他回答说,悲哀将会永远持续。”

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。

For Claude Monet the designation ‘impressionist’ always remained a source of pride. In spite of all the things critics have written about his work, Monet continued to be a true impressionist to the end of his very long life. He was so by deep conviction, and for his Impressionism he may have sacrificed many other opportunities that his enormous talent held out to him. Monet did not paint classical compositions with figures, and he did not become a portraitist, although his professional training included those skills. He chose a single genre for himself, landscape painting, and in that he achieved a degree of perfection none of his contemporaries managed to attain. Yet the little boy began by drawing caricatures. Boudin advised Monet to stop doing caricatures and to take up landscapes instead. The sea, the sky, animals, people, and trees are beautiful in the exact state in which nature created them – surrounded by air and light. Indeed, it was Boudin who passed on to Monet his convictio

Influenced by the masters of Antiquity, the genius of Michelangelo and Baroque sculpture, particularly of Bernini, Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) is one of the most renowned artists in history. Though Rodin is considered a founder of modern sculpture, he did not set out to critique past classical traditions. Many of his sculptures were criticised and considered controversial because of their sensuality or hyperrealist qualities. His most original works departed from traditional themes of mythology and allegory, and embraced the human body, celebrating individualism and physicality. This book uncovers the life and career of this highly acclaimed artist by exploring his most famous works of art, such as the Gates of Hell, The Thinker and the infamous The Kiss.
