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,

Universally celebrated for his rosy and concupiscent nudes, Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) was an artist whose first concern was sensuality in all its forms.

He felt that the human body was as lovely and natural as the many natural landscapes he painted as a young man. In a lushly illustrated text, María Varshavskaya and Xenia Yegorova explore the master at work, bringing a unique focus to Ruben’s life and work

浮世绘是日本江户时代繁荣时期(1615-1868)兴起的一种独特的民族艺术。浮世绘是这一时代的特色,它是艺术家、雕刻家和印花家共同创作的成果。因为技术进步、创作成本降低,浮世绘的创作展示了人们的日常生活,女人、歌舞伎甚至是相扑手,还有美景也都是浮世绘作品所偏爱的主题。菱川师宣(他享有浮世绘始祖的桂冠)、胜川春章、喜多川歌麿、葛饰北斋,甚至是歌川广重都是这场运动中负盛名的艺术家。1868年,日本明治维新,对西方开放。浮世绘精湛的技艺、细腻的作品、生动的刻画,深深地吸引了西方世界,影响了印象主义的大师,例如梵高,例如克林姆。这就是所谓的“日本主义”时期。冯赛德利茨(Woldemar von Seidlitz)和多拉·阿姆斯登(Dora Amsden)含蓄地强调了这一运动对于整个西方艺术的重大影响。这本书中重要的作品勾勒了女性理想、上帝之位和顺应山水自然之景的重要性,而这些同样成为了对于早期社会的不可多得的见证。

Her serene face encircled in a wreath of flaming hair, the broken, pinned, stitched, cleft, and withered husk that once contained Frida Kahlo surrendered to the crematory’s flames. The blaze heating the iron slab that had become her final bed replaced dead flesh with the purity of powdered ash and put a period – full stop – to the Judas body that had contained her spirit. Her incandescent image in death was no less real than her portraits in life. As the ashes smoldered and cooled, a darkness descended over her name, her paintings and her brief flirtation with fame. She became a footnote, a “promising talent” forever languishing in the shadow of her husband, the famed Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, or as a New York Times art critic stated with a yawn over one of her works: “…painted by one of Rivera’s ex-wives.”

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。

汉斯·梅姆林(约1433年-1494年)长期以来被认为是个小众画家,他并非宫廷画家,而是个资产阶级画家。他在十七世纪被人遗忘,而如今,梅姆林却被认为是15世纪伟大的北欧画家之一,这主要得益于他的肖像画中现实主义和理想主义的完美平衡。他的作品常常是双连画、三联画或祭坛作品,展示出了可以与凡·艾克媲美的精湛技巧。他对于细节的把控、精确的绘制、技巧的精通和对创作的灵感都在他恢宏的作品中展现得淋漓尽致,诸如《后的审判》、《圣凯瑟琳神秘的婚姻》、《圣母玛利亚的七喜》。以梅姆林毕生作品中*代表性的作品为例,他的作品通过人物细腻的面部和冷静的姿态,来表现这一重要艺术家的复杂而精湛的技艺。

A hysterical send-up of everyday life and love with lots of heart, Lipshtick is a quick fix, a good schmooze, a heartfelt sob or two.It will take you on a trip through things universal to all pairs of X chromosomes worth their salt: for coping with social dances in junior high (where the sexes meet like a hormonal high noon) to the joys of plucking out your chin hair like evil weeds; from the natural order of a girl's fantasies (like sweets that don't make you fat, spending that doesn't break the bank, a beautiful nap in the middle of a long day) to why flings with bad boys are the ultimate in dating pleasure (finding the right boy to lust after is a lifelong struggle--eventually you grow to be picky about who rejects you); from getting married (His best qualityHe was like family. His worst qualityHe was like family.) to the sad state of postnatal breasts. Gwen Macsai cover it all--with a shtick twist. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll thank God you're not her. No situation unaccounted for, no mole left unexamined, Macsai captures a woman's life from her first leg-shave to her last dose of hormone replacement therapy.When you finish Lipshtick you'll have added another great girlfriend to your already glittering array. And in this world you can't have enough girlfriends or laughter.
