It's hard to remember the dark days before 2008. It was a time of hatred, racism, violence, obese children, war, untaxed rich people, and incandescent light bulbs -- perhaps the worst days we had ever seen. And at the heart of it all was a thuggish, thoughtless man, George W. Bush, who lashed out angrily at whatever he didn't understand -- and he understood so very little. Then there was that laugh of his -- that horrible snicker that mocked everything intelligent and nuanced. Also, he looked like a chimp. It seemed like the end for the United States of America. We would crumble in the hands of vicious, superstitious dimwits determined to hunt "ter'ists" or other figments of Bush's rotten mind. There was nothing left to do but head to Whole Foods to prepare our organic, sustainable, fair-trade last meal as the country ended around us. Despair had overtaken us, and we wondered aloud whether we could ever feel hope again. And then a man emerged who firmly answered, "Yes we can!" Oh, but Barack Obama was no mere man. He was a paragon of intelligence and civilized society. A savior to the world's depressed. A lightbringer. A genius thinking thoughts the common man could never hope to comprehend. And his words -- his beautiful words read from crystal panes -- reached down to our souls and told us all would be well. With the simple act of casting a ballot for Barack Obama, we could make the world an immeasurably better place -- a world of peace, of love, of understanding, of unicorns, of rainbows, of expanded entitlements. This was his promise. And now, having had him as president for more than two years, we can say without reservation that he has delivered all his promises and more and is the best president this country -- or any country -- has ever had or could even imagine to have.

Impressionism
￥61.23
“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。

Raphael
￥61.23
拉斐尔（Raphael，1483-1520），意大利文艺复兴鼎盛时期的画家和建筑家，是位超越时代的天才人物。他与米开朗琪罗和莱昂纳多达芬奇并称为古典艺术的“文艺复兴三杰”，它们的作品展现了和谐和几何的多种风格。作为文艺复兴时期的大家之一，作为欧洲皇室和罗马教廷的艺术家，拉斐尔的作品包括了多种神学和哲学的主题，包括但不限于著名的圣母玛利亚画像。拉斐尔成长的环境和经历使他更倾向于将人文主义的理想和宗教相结合，从而在心中树立起坚定的信念，即艺术是揭开自然之美面纱的必然中介。
Michelangelo
￥110.28
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。
Hieronymus Bosch
￥110.28
Hieronymus Bosch was painting terrifying, yet strangely likeable, monsters, long before computer games were invented, often with a touch of humour. His works are assertive statements about the mental dangers that befall those who abandon the teachings of Christ. With a life that spanned from 1450 to 1516, Bosch was born at the height of the Renaissance and witnessed its wars of religion. Medieval traditions and values were crumbling, thrusting man into a new universe where faith had lost some of its power and much of its magic. Bosch set out to warn doubters of the perils awaiting all and any who lost their faith in God. Believing that everyone had to make their own moral choices, he focused on themes of hell, heaven and lust. He brilliantly exploited the symbolism of a wide range of fruits and plants to lend sexual overtones to his themes.
Edward Hopper
￥110.28
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。
Alphonse Mucha
￥110.28
Born in 1860 in a small Czech town, Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) was an artist on the forefront of Art Nouveau, the modernist movement that swept Paris in the 1910s, marking a return to the simplicity of natural forms, and changing the world of art and design forever. In fact, Art Nouveau was known to insiders as the “Mucha style” for the legions of imitators who adapted the master’s celebrated tableaux. Today, his distinctive depictions of lithe young women in classical dress have become a pop cultural touchstone, inspiring album covers, comic books, and everything in between. Patrick Bade and Victoria Charles offer readers an inspiring survey of Mucha’s career, illustrated with over one hundred lustrous images, from early Parisian advertisements and posters for Sandra Bernhardt, to the famous historical murals painted just before his death, at the age of 78, in 1939.
Van Gogh
￥40.79
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。”
Dali
￥40.79
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。
