Collins Taak of the Toon: How to Speak Geordie
￥44.65
Gain an insight into the English language via one of the UK’s richest dialects: Geordie.

Newcastle in particular has successfully reinvented itself as a centre of the arts, while still maintaining its own regional identity. This book is the definitive guide to the most distinctive element of that identity: the Geordie dialect. This book is a must for anyone with even a passing interest in the language of the North East, and also provides a thorough examination of the general state of English, from the traditional wit and wisdom of the Geordie perspective.

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,
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
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.
Burne-Jones
￥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

Na?ve Art
￥110.28
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.
The Arts & Crafts Movement
￥110.28
工艺美术曾触发了英格兰实用艺术的真正改革，形成了一场独特的运动。工艺美术运动由约翰·拉斯金（John Ruskin）发起，威廉·莫里斯（William Morris）付诸实践，推动了维多利亚时代英格兰的革命思想。工匠和设计师因而成为了新的意识形态的核心人物，影响了全世界的风格，将工艺美术运动的关键思想体现在了设计、建筑和绘画之中。
Baroque Art
￥110.28
The Baroque period lasted from the beginning of the seventeenth century to the middle of the eighteenth century. Baroque art was artists’ response to the Catholic Church’s demand for solemn grandeur following the Council of Trent, and through its monumentality and grandiloquence it seduced the great European courts. Amongst the Baroque arts, architecture has, without doubt, left the greatest mark in Europe: the continent is dotted with magnificent Baroque churches and palaces, commissioned by patrons at the height of their power. The works of Gian Lorenzo Bernini of the Southern School and Peter Paul Rubens of the Northern School alone show the importance of this artistic period. Rich in images encompassing the arts of painting, sculpture and architecture, this work offers a complete insight into this passionate period in the history of art.
Cubism
￥110.28
Les Demoiselles d’Avignon: five young women that changed modern art forever. Faces seen simultaneously from the front and in profile, angular bodies whose once voluptuous feminine forms disappear behind asymmetric lines - with this work, Picasso revolutionised the entire history of painting. Cubism was thus born in 1907. Transforming natural forms into cylinders and cubes, painters like Juan Gris and Robert Delaunay, led by Braque and Picasso, imposed a new vision upon the world that was in total opposition to the principles of the Impressionists. Largely diffused in Europe, Cubism developed rapidly in successive phases that brought art history to all the richness of the 20th century: from the futurism of Boccioni to the abstraction of Kandinsky, from the suprematism of Malevich to the constructivism of Tatlin. Linking the core text of Guillaume Apollinaire with the studies of Dr. Dorothea Eimert, this work offers a new interpretation of modernity’s crucial moment, and permits the read
Impressionism
￥110.28
“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。
Post-Impressionism
￥110.28
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。
The Viennese Secession
￥110.28
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。
Symbolism
￥110.28
Symbolism appeared in France and Europe between the 1880s and the beginning of the 20th century. The Symbolists, fascinated with ancient mythology, attempted to escape the reign of rational thought imposed by science. They wished to transcend the world of the visible and the rational in order to attain the world of pure thought, constantly flirting with the limits of the unconscious. The French Gustave Moreau, Odilon Redon, the Belgians Fernand Khnopff and Félicien Rops, the English Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and the Dutch Jan Toorop are the most representative artists of the movement.
Pre-Raphaelites
￥61.23
在维多利亚时代，工业革命席卷了英格兰。诸如威廉·莫里斯（William Morris）的拉斐尔前派艺术家们以及工艺美术运动激发了回到传统价值观的灵感。带着重新树立意大利文艺复兴的纯正和高贵形式的愿望，包括约翰·艾佛雷特·米莱（John Everett Millais）、但丁·加百列·罗塞蒂 （Dante Gabriel Rossetti）、爱德华·伯恩·琼斯（Edward Burne-Jones）的艺术家们更加偏爱现实主义和圣经主题。这本著作以翔实的内容和丰富的阐释，热情洋溢地描述了这场激发了象征主义和新艺术主义的运动。
