Claude Lorrain
Claude Lorrain
Daniel, Sergei
¥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

Calosse, Jp. A.

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,

Pissarro
Pissarro
Brodskaya, Nathalia
¥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.
Burne-Jones
Burne-Jones
Bade, Patrick
¥40.79
Burne-Jones’ oeuvre can be understood as an attempt to create in paint a world of perfect beauty, as far removed from the Birmingham of his youth as possible. At that time Birmingham was a byword for the dire effects of unregulated capitalism – a booming, industrial conglomeration of unimaginable ugliness and squalor. The two great French symbolist painters, Gustave Moreau and Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, immediately recognised Burne-Jones as an artistic fellow traveller. But, it is very unlikely that Burne-Jones would have accepted or even, perhaps, have understood the label of ‘symbolist’. Yet he seems to have been one of the most representative figures of the symbolist movement and of that pervasive mood termed “fin-de-siecle”. Burne-Jones is usually labelled as a Pre-Raphaelite. In fact he was never a member of the Brotherhood formed in 1848. Burne-Jones’ brand of Pre-Raphaelitism derives not from Hunt and Millais but from Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Burne-Jones’ work in the late 1850s i

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。

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。

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。

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.

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.
