Her abstractions tell us that the play of horizontal and vertical shapes, concentric circles, curved and diagonal lines, images that exist in the mind, are alive as well and deserve to be shared. Georgia sensed this even as an art student in the early part of this century as she sat copying other people's pictures or plaster torsos.

Picasso, however, was born a Spaniard and, so they say, began to draw before he could speak. As an infant he was instinctively attracted to the artist’s tools. In early childhood he could spend hours in happy concentration drawing spirals with a sense and meaning known only to himself; or, shunning children’s games, trace his first pictures in the sand. This early self-expression held out promise of a rare gift.

To this day the name of the seventeenth-century Flemish painter Anthony van Dyck (1599–1641) remains a symbol of artistic refinement. Yet his real contribution to art lies in his novel approach to the representation of the subject, his perception of each human being as a unique individuality which reveals itself only on direct contact, not through mere contemplation. In his day Van Dyck had his greatest success as a portraitist. He created painted portraits throughout his life, and in his later periods graphic portraits as well. It was as a portraitist that the artist gained worldwide recognition and went down in the history of seventeenth-century European art.

英国艺术家威廉·布雷克(William Blake,1757-1827)是浪漫主义运动的主要人物,也曾是一位画家、设计师、雕刻家和诗人。他一生致力于诠释他的文学作品,他的文字也随着他雕刻的线条和奇妙的绘画,成为了名副其实的手工绘本。受到圣经和先知预言的感染(《地狱的箴言》,《永远的福音书》和《天堂之门》),布雷克的艺术将他所处的时代及浪漫主义运动的现代感与他所探索的古典主义相结合。

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。

Wallace, Alfred Russel

Reflecting their owner’s taste and serving as an impressive exhibition space for visitors, cabinets of curiosities were a place of interest in the houses of the wealthy in the 16th an 17th centuries. Displaying rare vegetable and animal species and fossils, these cabinets were always dedicated to science and knowledge. By collecting uncommon and beautiful objects in nature, rich noblemen were able to build a microcosm expressing the diversity of God’s creation.

At the beginning of the fifteenth century, the Dominican convent of Fiesole had a lively intellectual atmosphere. The convent was founded in 1406 by the Blessed Giovanni di Dominici Bacchini, (who later became the Archbishop of Ragusa and, in 1419, a cardinal,) in order to reestablish the former discipline and strictness of the Dominican order in the spirit of Saint Dominic. Members of the observant monasteries were expected to consecrate themselves to the saving of souls not only through study, science, and preaching, but also through applied artistic labour. Exiled from Venice, Giovanni arrived in Città di Castello near Arezzo in 1399. From there he was summoned to preach in the cathedral of Florence for Lent. San Lapo Mazzei wrote to a friend after hearing one of Giovanni’s sermons, and summarized his impressions in the following terms, “I was at Santa Liparata (the cathedral) where a Dominican friar was supposed to preach, and where he did indeed preach. I assure you that I have ne

The study of Greek sculpture was unknown two hundred and fifty years ago. Winckelmann1 was the first to study it, and to publish a book on the subject in 1755. The excavations in Pompeii and Herculaneum, the removal of the Parthenon sculptures to London by Lord Elgin, and above all, the regeneration of Greece and the subsequent rich finds in her soil, added zest to the continually growing interest in this new study.

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。

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。

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.

鲁本斯,巴洛克绘画繁荣时期伟大的艺术巨匠,从意大利文艺复兴中汲取了所有对其有用的精华,从而建立起了自己的风格。这个来自北方的艺术家希望并且实现了将佛兰德艺术与拉丁艺术融合起来,却不失自己热情四溢的个性与不断探索的想象力以及作为伟大色彩大师的醉人发现。他的风格以对人体形态的绝妙把握和对华丽的明亮色彩极为丰富的运用而著名。对自己理智*自信的鲁本斯像个深受信任的使者带着浮夸的举止旅行于各个国家之间,因此也习惯了宫廷的生活。如果说米开朗基罗是激情澎湃的代表,那么鲁本斯也可以被认作是描绘生活喜悦和生机的高产代表。

塞尚成为19世纪著名的日常静物写生的画家,其强烈的风格无人可以匹敌。当搬到巴黎,受到雷诺阿的鼓舞之后,这位普罗旺斯艾克斯出生的画家与印象派画家们一起在1874年和1877年开了画展,尽管他遭受到评论的嘲讽和伤害。塞尚的雄心,用他自己的话来说,是“创作出可以留在博物馆的坚实不催的印象主义画作”。不久之后,孤独寂寞的塞尚退隐到普罗旺斯,忧郁和无助常常侵袭而来。他变得野蛮而挑剔,撕毁画布,扔到画室外,丢弃到树林田间,或剪碎给儿子拼图玩,或丢给艾克斯当地人。1906年他因在一场大雨中作画,高烧去世,之后不久,他的作品得到了晚来的认同。

Naive art first became popular at the end of the 19th century. Until that time, this form of expression, created by untrained artists and characterised by spontaneity and simplicity, enjoyed little recognition from professional artists and art critics. Influenced by primitive arts, naive painting is distinguished by the fluidity of its lines, vivacity, and joyful colours, as well as by its rather clean-cut, simple shapes. Naive art counts among it artists: Henri Rousseau, Séraphine de Senlis, André Bauchant, and Camille Bombois. This movement has also found adherents abroad, including such prominent artists as Joan Miró, Guido Vedovato, Niko Pirosmani, and Ivan Generalic.

“我画我所见,而非他人所想见。”难道还有什么能比 爱德华马奈(Edouard Manet)的这句话更能诠释印象主义运动了。马奈的这句话似乎与莫奈(Monet)或雷阿诺(Renoir)的情感表达完全不同。莫奈在去世前不久曾写道:“印象主义之名源我而起,但却冠以了一群并非印象主义者的群体,对此我深表遗憾。” 在这本书中,Nathalia Brodskaia考察了这场十九世纪末期的印象主义运动的矛盾之处,分析了印象主义群体在艺术家个人的主张之下形成了的连贯整体的悖论。学术艺术和现代抽象绘画之间的道路漫长而艰辛。作者逐一分析这场艺术运动的基本元素,通过每位艺术家的作品考察了个人的需求是如何催生出现代绘画。

印象主义彻底改变了备受学术规范桎梏的艺术媒介,标志着向现代绘画迈出的步。后印象主义则更加革命性,完全解放了色彩,带我们进入了新的未知的视野领域。乔治·修拉(Georges Seurat)在新时代起锚启航,通过研习谢弗勒尔(Chevreul ,Michel Eugene)的色彩法则,将色彩的化学原理融入到点绘中,创造了全新的形象。梵高也通过浓墨重彩的画笔来表现正午的太阳,而塞尚(Cézanne)则摒弃了线性透视法。正是这些艺术家们的多元化和奇特性,后印象主义成为了二十世纪著名绘画大家的华美乐章。Nathalia Brodskaa的这本《印象主义》正是基于此,以飨读者。

维也纳分离派预示着一场变革。这一学派拥有约二十位才华横溢的艺术家,他们持不同意见,反对保守的学院派画风,认为学院派的风格僵化了维也纳和当时的奥匈帝国。受到新艺术运动的影响,克林姆(Klimt)、莫尔(Moll)和霍夫曼(Hoffmann)在1897年创造了分离派,这并非是一场匿名的艺术革命。因为本质上的不同,分离派将自身定义为“完全艺术”。没有受到任何政治或商业的限制,分离派运动更加类似于哲学运动,是一种以意识形态的风暴来影响工匠、建筑师、图形艺术家和设计师。艺术家们从功成名就的艺术中抬起头来,将目光投放在大量装饰性的植物、仙女之中。他们拥抱唯美主义;当然,这些情色的力量只会冒犯当时的官僚阶级。在这本书中,作者谈到了绘画、雕塑、建筑,强调了分离派运动的多样性和丰富性,正如他们那明确有力的口号:“为时代的艺术,为艺术应得的自由”,阐释了创新性和创造力。
