Sargent
￥61.23
Sargent was born in Florence, in 1856, the son of cultivated parents. When Sargent entered the school of Carolus-Duran he attained much more than the average pupils. His father was a retired Massachusetts gentleman, having practised medicine in Philadelphia. Sargent’s home life was penetrated with refinement, and outside it were the beautiful influences of Florence, combining the charms of sky and hills with the wonders of art in the galleries and the opportunities of an intellectual and artistic society. Accordingly, when Sargent arrived in Paris, he was not only a skilful draughtsman and painter as a result of his study of the Italian masters, but he also had a refined and cultivated taste, which perhaps had an even greater influence upon his career. Later in Spain, it was chiefly upon the lessons learned from Velázquez that he found his own brilliant method. Sargent belongs to America, but is claimed by others as a citizen of the world, or a cosmopolitan. Sargent, with the exception
Art Nouveau

作为对工业革命的回应，新艺术运动以装饰和建筑风格发端。新艺术运动初的目标是通过回归自然主题，创造新的自然美学。该运动中的设计常常伴有植物图案和高度风格化、反大起大落曲线的细致刻画，是谓之新艺术风格。 为了达到该目标，诸如古斯塔夫克林姆(Gustav Klimt)、科罗曼穆塞尔(Koloman Moser)、安东尼高迪（Antoni Gaudi）、扬托罗普（Jan Toorop）、威廉莫里斯(William Morris)等艺术家更加偏爱技术创新和形式新颖。新艺术运动试图将艺术融合进生活的所有侧面，从物质的家具到家中的装饰物品再到建筑物；建立在艺术与日常生活相融合的艺术哲学之上。1900年在巴黎世界博览会大获成功之后，这一趋势继续流行且营销了不少艺术家以及装饰艺术运动。新艺术运动的继承者在次世界大战之后依然层出不穷。所以说新艺术运动时装饰艺术“文艺复兴”的核心，一点都不为过。
Andrea Mantegna and the Italian Renaissance
￥122.54
The art of Andrea Mantegna (born c.1431, died 1506) has long maintained a broad and deep appeal. From the impressive illusionism of his earliest works (Fig. 4) to the narrative power of his mature paintings (Fig. 2), Mantegna's art remained vivid and heroic, dramatic and emotional. They are also painted in stunning detail: pebbles, blades of grass, veins, and hair are rendered with excruciating care, and he depicted even in his great narrative works the mundane particulars of earthly existence, showing laundry hanging out to dry and buildings fallen into disrepair. He had a deep interest in human nature and issues of moral character. Perhaps most strikingly, Mantegna's pictures are filled with references to classical antiquity. No other painter of the fifteenth century so thoroughly understood and abundantly included in his art the costumes, drapery folds, in*ions, architecture, subject matter, ethical attitude, and other aspects of ancient classical civilisation. And instead of t

安东尼·高迪（1852-1926）是西班牙建筑师和设计师，是西班牙当代艺术史上十分重要和具有影响力的人物。他对于色彩的运用，对材料的采纳和将有机形态融入到建筑中，都是建筑领域的创新。在他的日记中，高迪自由地表达了自己对艺术的看法：“用于建筑的色彩要紧实、有序和丰富。”他已经完成的作品巴特罗公寓（Casa Batllo, 1905-1907）和米拉公寓（Casa Mila, 1905-1910）以及他尚未竣工的作品（修复巴塞罗那的波夫莱特修道院和阿雷亚祭坛）展示了这一重要的艺术哲学。他的家具设计也蕴含着同样的哲理，例如他自己的办公室（1878）或者是巴塞罗那皇家广场的灯具都体现了这一点。圣家族大教堂（Sagrada Familia, 1882-1926）是具有重大纪念意义的项目，高迪终未能见到它的竣工（在高迪去世之时，该教堂尚未完成）。
Art of Islam
￥122.54
伊斯兰艺术并不是某个国家或者某个民族的艺术，而是一种宗教的艺术：伊斯兰教。从阿拉伯半岛延展开来，宗教的皈依者在几个世纪中征服了从大西洋到印度洋的领土。跨越了多文化和多种族，这种多形态和高度精神化的艺术禁止所有关于人和神的东西，发展出教规和极具装饰艺术价值多种动机。这些艺术家详细而独出心裁地表达了他们的信念，创造了诸如耶路撒冷的阿克萨清真寺、阿格拉的泰姬陵和格拉纳达的阿罕布拉宫等不朽之作。

Bonnard and the Nabis
￥122.54
The Nabis group, assembled by Paul Sérusier, was comprised of several members from the Académie Julian. In refusing to comply with the rules of Impressionism, these artists claimed instead to be largely influenced by Gaugin. Their name, derived from the Hebrew Nahbi, signifies a prophet or a visionary, thus symbolizing their will to discover the sacred nature of writing. They were largely influenced by Japanese art, most notably wood engravings, as well as popular and primitive art and the art of the symbolic artist, Pierre Puvis de Chavannes. Although they all differed considerably from one another, there were two lines of thought in particular on which they all agreed; firstly, subjective misinterpretation, born within the artist’s emotions accentuating certain aspects of the subject that is being depicted, and secondly, objective misinterpretation ensuring the depiction finds its place in the fundamental order of the work. Their art is characterized by an absence of perspective and
Bosch
￥122.54
在电子游戏发明之前，希罗尼穆斯波希（Hieronymus Bosch）的笔下就已经创作出了恐怖但丑萌的怪物，还带有一点小幽默。他的作品是自信的宣言，有力地挑战了背叛基督教教义之人的精神恐慌。波希生于1450年，死于1516年，他的出生之时正值文艺复兴的高潮时期，也见证了这一时期的宗教战争。中世纪传统和价值观轰然倒塌，为新世纪的到来开辟了道路。在这样的新世纪里，信念失去了力量和魔力。 ?波希开始警告那些不信教者和对上帝丧失了信仰的人——等待是危险的。波希相信所有人必须要有自己的道德选择，他关注地狱、天堂和欲望的主题，才华横溢地挖掘了水果和植物的象征意义，让他的意向充满了强烈的性欲色彩。这本独特的选集展示了波希为引人入胜的作品，小巧的形式也让它成为了一份完美的礼物。
Mucha
￥61.23
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.

Historic Maritime Maps
￥61.23
In the Middle Ages, navigation relied upon a delicate balance between art and science. Whilst respecting the customs and the precautions of their forbearers, sailors had to count on their knowledge of the stars, the winds, the currents, and even of migratory flights. They also used hand-painted maps, which, although certainly summary, were marvellously well-drawn. In following the saga of old sailors, from Eric Le Rouge to Robert Peary, Donald Wigal leads us in discovering the New World. This magnificent overview of maps dating from the 10th to the 18th centuries, often ‘primitive’ and sometimes difficult to understand, retraces the progress of cartography and shows the incredible courage of men who endeavoured to conquer the seas with tools whose geographical accuracy often left much to be desired.
Bauhaus

The appendix, with its compressed chronology summarising the history of the Bauhaus and evoking parallel events in culture, politics, technology and science, allows for individual conclusions and the identification of links and references not included in the text.
Bikini Story
￥122.54
The beginning of a new millennium – let alone a new century – simply demands a quick but thorough look back at the past hundred years. Different outline sketches of the history of the twentieth century might all too quickly resort to headline-style formulae about “a century of war and terrorism”, “a century of barbarism”, and omit any mention of a great number of events and triumphs that should be rightfully regarded as entirely positive. These might seem to have been of secondary significance in relation to more sombre events, but they certainly cannot be excluded if our historical round-up of a hundred years is to retain its proper balance, if it is to be truly historical, and not be reduced to checklists of damage and destruction, of wars and disasters alike and their cost of lives and property, of the numbers of casualties, and of the people, places, and things that are now as if they had never been.
Gustave Courbet
￥122.54
居斯塔夫库尔贝（Gustave Courbet，1819－－1877）的出生地奥尔南（Ornans）靠近美丽的杜河峡谷的地方，也正是这个地方，让这个男孩成长为男人，并培养了他对于这片风景的热爱。 在本质上，他是个革命者，天生具有反抗现存秩序和独立的精神；他咆哮和残酷的性格使得他的革命性不仅仅体现在艺术中，也体现在政治上。在这两个方面，他的革命精神不证自明。他到巴黎去学习艺术，但是他却不属于任何一个著名的大师的工作室。在此之前在母国，他只学习了很少的绘画技巧，他更愿意去卢浮宫中学习大师的杰作。初，他的绘画作品还不足以引起任何的反对声音，并被一些美术展览馆收录。而面对之后的《奥尔南的葬礼》，批评家激烈地抨击道：“这是一场伪装的葬礼，在这六米长的画布中，只有啼笑皆非，没有痛哭流涕。”确实，对库尔贝作品真实的攻击便是鲜活的血肉。他真实地刻画了男男女女的真实面貌和他们从事的事情。他笔下的人物，绝非剥夺了个性、理想化类型的男男女女，也绝不是摆着造型来装饰画布。他宣扬真实的、原本的东西，宣称真理才是艺术家追求的目标。所以，在1855年的世界博览会上，他将他的作品从展览厅中取出，放在入口外的一个小木厅旁。在小木厅上他悬挂了一张大写的横幅，上面写着：“库尔贝——现实主义者。”和每一个革命者一样，库尔贝也是位*主义者。他忽视了这样的事实：自然的真理隐藏在不同的伪装下，不同的视角和经历都会对其有所影响。相反，他坚持认为艺术仅仅是自然的复制品，重新选择和排列也就无关紧要了。在追求美的过程中，库尔贝常常选择那些比较丑陋的主题。但是他同样也有审美观，这体现在他的风景画中。这种美感与他深厚的情感相混合，体现在了他的海景画中——他后一幅令人印象深刻的作品。不仅如此，无论是否吸引观赏者，他所有的作品都证实了他是一位强有力的画家，以宽广、自由的姿态，色彩的美感和坚固的颜料，使得他的代表作真实而震撼人心。
Lempicka
￥122.54
Tamara de Lempicka created some of the most iconic images of the twentieth century. Her portraits and nudes of the years 1925-1933 grace the dust jackets of more books than the work of any other artist of her time. Publishers understand that in reproduction, these pictures have an extraordinary power to catch the eye and kindle the interest of the public. In recent years, the originals of the images have fetched record sums at Christie’s and Sotheby’s. Beyond the purchasing power of most museums, these paintings have been eagerly collected by film and pop stars.
Remington

After the New World had been settled by European immigrants landing on America’s eastern coastline, the only direction to go was west. This new country contained untold fortunes, and drew adventurers who wished to explore this vast frontier, and settlers who longed to make it their own.
Russian Painting
￥122.54
At the time when Dionysius and his sons were active, ownership of icons became increasingly common. Previously nobles and merchants had begun the practice of displaying them in a place of honour in their homes, sometimes even in a special room, but now peasant families who could afford it also began to hang icons in a krasny ugol, or“beautiful corner”.
The Art of Champa
￥122.54
Evoking Champa means glorifying death, sanctifying remnants, magnifying clues, singing the praises of mourning, and reconstructing history. Champa only exists now in the memories of a diminishing collection of living people who desire eternal life, in a half-audible melody – necessarily exotic – that is hummed by a few disquieted spirits.
The Brueghels
￥122.54
After an initial period of brilliance, during which time it rose to achieve perfection, Flemish art gradually fell into decline. Although thorough studies of its origins have revealed works, in particular those of the miniaturists, that are deserving of notice and which predate the artistic careers of the two Van Eycks, Hubert and Jan, the genius of the brothers remains stunningly spectacular, surpassing that of their predecessors to such a degree that it would be impossible to find an equally sudden, decisive and glorious evolution in the history of art.
Utamaro
￥122.54
如果色情也有一个名字的话，那肯定是喜多川歌麿。喜多川歌麿细腻地勾画了构成江户时代的乐之园。丰富多样的画布，天鹅长长的脖颈，神秘的面孔，寥寥几笔，便是东方的肉欲之欢。
Art Deco
￥110.28
Art Deco style was established on the ashes of a disappeared world, the one from before the First World War, and on the foundation stone of a world yet to become, opened to the most undisclosed promises. Forgetting herself in the whirl of Jazz Age and the euphoria of the “Années Folles”, the Gar?onne with her linear shape reflects the architectural style of Art Deco: to the rounded curves succeed the simple and plain androgynous straight line… Architecture, painting, furniture and sculpture, dissected by the author, proclaim the druthers for sharp lines and broken angles. Although ephemeral, this movement keeps on influencing contemporary design.
