The ABC of Style
¥122.54
你是否想过,为什么你的天花板的形状看起来像哥德式教堂的门拱?为什么你所在的办公楼看起来那么与众不同? 《建筑风格基础》带您探索从古代源头到二十世纪四十年代期间不同的建筑和室内装饰风格。这本书将带着你畅游历史,纵观法国贵族的宫殿和城堡,饱览中世纪多明尼加君主教堂的简约设计。通常,政治变动会带来艺术风格的转变。因此,常常以君王或历史时期来命名不同的欧式风格(文艺复兴式、中世纪风格)。直到十九世纪末,时代风格的转变仍是基于皇室贵族的品味。因此,风格可以说就是一种对权力的确认。
Malevich
¥122.54
卡济米尔·谢韦里诺维奇·马列维奇(Kazimir Malevich, 1878-1935)是一位画家和伟大的艺术理论家。但为重要的是,他是至上主义(出现在俄国的纯几何形抽象绘画艺术运动)的奠基人。“至上主义”,马列维奇写道,“让我发现了很多过去不能理解的东西。这都潜伏在人类的潜意识中,是对于空间的迫切愿望,是逃离地球的夙愿。”这本新出版的著作收录了马列维奇*才气的作品。这位创新的艺术家,直到二十七岁时都没有接受过专业的绘画教育,但却出于好奇和好学的愿望来进行绘画创作。Gerry Souter又一次带领我们欣赏才华横溢的艺术家的作品,领略这位艺术家人格的新视点。
Caravaggio
¥122.54
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。
James McNeill Whistler
¥85.76
During the last half of the 19th century, three American artists were to work in Europe, mainly in England and France. Each of them was to play an important role. Mary Cassatt participated in the Impressionist movement in France, John Singer Sargent was to be considered one of the greatest painters of his day, and James McNeill Whistler, to whom this biography is dedicated, was to create a completely original style.
Klimt
¥40.79
古斯塔夫·克林姆(Gustav Klimt)初因其采用的装饰花纹闻名(与他的兄弟及其在艺术学校的伙伴弗朗茨·马什共同创作)。因为大多剧院和重要的维也纳艺术史博物馆(在他的时代是重要的)均采用的是玛卡特(Makart)式的冷色调摄影风格。在他三十岁的时候他有了自己的工作室,并且开始了架上绘画。在三十五岁的时候,他成为了维也纳分离派的奠基人之一。在八年之后,在对自然主义日益强势的趋势倍感失望的情况下,他离开了这一领域。
Dürer
¥40.79
阿尔布雷特·丢勒(Albrecht Durer,1471-1528)是北部文艺复兴中*创新性的代表人物之一,他改革了宗教画和世俗画中的风景和肖像的绘画技巧。这本著作精选了不同类型的丢勒作品,紧致小巧的形式也成为了献给每一位艺术爱好者的完美赠礼。
Klee
¥40.79
你很难将保罗克利(Paul Klee)归类到某个艺术史上的运动。与瓦西里康定斯基(Wassily Kandinsky)和弗兰茨马尔克(Franz Marc)类似,克利曾是表现主义画家团体蓝骑士(Der Blaue Reiter)的重要成员之一。之后,他又参与到了包豪斯建筑学派之中,甚至在德绍的学校中教授绘画课程。就克利看来,艺术与生产无关,只是为了让事物更加清晰可见。在他的绘画中,克利微妙地融入了二十世纪初的趋势。对于德国的表现主义来说,克利为其注入了立体主义和奥费主义的元素,用超现实主义的忧郁的诗歌来点缀他的作品。 作者带领我们穿越克利世界中的奇迹,画中的每一笔都回响着色彩的力量。
Pissarro
¥40.79
“Father Pissarro”, as his friends liked to call him, was the most restrained of the artists of the Impressionist movement. Perhaps it was his age, being older than his fellow artists Monet, Sisley, Bazille, and Renoir, or rather his maturity, which resulted in his works having such serene and sober subjects and compositions. A man of simple tastes, he enjoyed painting peasants going about their daily lives. However, Pissarro owes his belated fame to his urban landscapes, which he treated with the same passion he used to paint beautiful stormy skies and frost-whitened mornings.
Renoir
¥61.23
Pierre-Auguste Renoir was born in Limoges on 25 February 1841. In 1854, the boy’s parents took him from school and found a place for him in the Lévy brothers’ workshop, where he was to learn to paint porcelain. Renoir’s younger brother Edmond had this to say this about the move: “From what he drew in charcoal on the walls, they concluded that he had the ability for an artist’s profession. That was how our parents came to put him to learn the trade of porcelain painter.” One of the Lévys’ workers, Emile Laporte, painted in oils in his spare time. He suggested Renoir makes use of his canvases and paints. This offer resulted in the appearance of the first painting by the future impressionist. In 1862 Renoir passed the examinations and entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and, simultaneously, one of the independent studios, where instruction was given by Charles Gleyre, a professor at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. The second, perhaps even the first, great event of this period in Renoir’s life was

Michelangelo
¥122.54
米开朗基罗(Michelangelo)的名字不断浮现在西斯廷教堂、阿波罗、丘比特等数不计数的杰作中。在《意大利绘画》(The Italian Painting)这本书中,作者司汤达写道:“在古希腊风物和米开朗基罗之间,没有任何距离,除了或多或少技术娴熟的伪造物。”在《漫步罗马》(Promenade in Rome)一书中,沙特布莱表达了对《圣母怜子像》(Pieta)中那些精致的线条的崇敬之情。诸如司汤达等大连古欧秀的作家将米开朗基罗视为西方艺术复兴的大家之一。毫无疑问,米开朗基罗的作品经历住了时间的考验。在若干年后,米开朗基罗的作品何以能够揭示希腊先驱们的创造性来源?米开朗基罗是创造性的天才和超人,是意大利文艺复兴中无与伦比的艺术家,他的影响力和成就与达芬奇可相媲美。在这本著作中, Jean-Matthieu Gosselin探讨了米开朗基罗所有的身份:雕塑家、建筑师、画家和美术家。
Pollock
¥122.54
Each of the four sections of this book refers to a span of at least ten years. Each subsection, usually covering one year, opens by noting historical events relative at least indirectly to Pollock, or offers some significant backdrop to his life. Events named within that year are not necessarily presented here in strict chronological order. This book should not be relied on for trying to create a strict chronology of details.
Claude Lorrain
¥61.23
Claude Gellée, called Claude Lorrain was neither a great man nor a lofty spirit like Poussin. His genius cannot, however, be denied and he was, like Poussin, a profoundly original inventor within the limitations of a classical ideal. He too spent most of his life in Rome though the art he created was not specifically Italian, but French. For more than two centuries afterwards everyone in France who felt called upon to depict the beauties of nature would think of Lorrain and study his works, whether it be Joseph Vernet in the eighteenth century or Corot in the nineteenth. Outside France it was the same; Lorrain was nowhere more admired than in England. There is an element of mystery in the vocation of this humble and almost illiterate peasant whose knowledge of French and Italian was equally poor, and who used to inscribe on his drawings notes in a strange broken Franco-Italian. This mystery is in some way symbolic of that with which he imbued his pictures, le mystère dans la lumière. T
Dalí
¥40.79
在超现实主义艺术家中,毫无疑问,萨尔多瓦·达利(Salvador?Dalí?)是为多产的、为有名的,他创作了很多20世纪*标示性的形象。
Rubens
¥40.79
The eclectic art of which the Carracci family dreamed was realised by Rubens with the ease of genius. However, the problem was much more complicated for a man of the north, who wished to add to it a fusion of the Flemish and Latin spirits, of which the rather pedantic attempts of Romanism had illustrated the difficulties. He achieved it without losing anything of his overflowing personality, his questing imagination, and the enchanting discoveries of the greatest colourist known to painting. Rubens, the greatest master of Baroque painting’s exuberance, took from the Italian Renaissance what could be of use to him, and then built upon it a style of his own. It is distinguished by a wonderful mastery of the human form and an amazing wealth of splendidly lighted colour. He was a man of much intellectual poise and was accustomed to court life, travelling from court to court, with pomp, as a trusted envoy. Rubens was one of those rare mortals who do real honour to humanity. He was handsome,

Illuminated Manuscripts
¥61.23
Those who have had the chance to hold a medieval manu* in their hands cannot fail to have been impressed by the feeling of being in touch with a long-passed epoch. Back when a book was a true handicraft and every copy the result of a laborious process, the object was more a work of art than a volatile commercial product. The Mega Square Illuminated Manu*s puts the reader in touch with amazing medieval illustrations and unique adornments, which document the imaginative power of their creators.
