Bosch

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。

Na?ve Art
¥61.23
Until the end of the 19th century Na?ve Art, created by untrained artists and characterised by spontaneity and simplicity, enjoyed little recognition from professional artists and art critics. Na?ve painting is often distinguished by its clarity of line, vivacity and joyful colours, as well as by its rather clean-cut, simple shapes, as represented by French artists such as Henri Rousseau, Séraphine de Senlis, André Bauchant and Camille Bombois. However, this movement has also found adherents elsewhere, including Joan Miró (who was influenced by some of its qualities), Guido Vedovato, Niko Pirosmani, and Ivan Generalic.
Picasso
¥40.79
Picasso was born a Spaniard and, so they say, began to draw before he could speak. As an infant he was instinctively attracted to artist’s tools. In early childhood he could spend hours in happy concentration drawing spirals with a sense and meaning known only to himself. At other times, shunning children’s games, he traced his first pictures in the sand. This early self-expression held out promise of a rare gift. Málaga must be mentioned, for it was there, on 25 October 1881, that Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born and it was there that he spent the first ten years of his life. Picasso’s father was a painter and professor at the School of Fine Arts and Crafts. Picasso learnt from him the basics of formal academic art training. Then he studied at the Academy of Arts in Madrid but never finished his degree. Picasso, who was not yet eighteen, had reached the point of his greatest rebelliousness; he repudiated academia’s anemic aesthetics along with realism’s pedestrian prose and, quite naturall
Persian Art
¥122.54
This book consists of two sections. The wide-ranging introduction attempts to outline the basic stages in the development of Persian Art, from the first appearance of Persian peoples on the Iranian plateau during the 10th-8th centuries BCE up to the 19th century CE. Detailed commentaries on the works of art reproduced here provide not only factual information (dates, iconography, provenance, techniques, etc.), but are also, in many instances, followed by brief scholarly studies of the examples of Persian art housed in various museums of the former Soviet Union that are, in the authors’ opinion, of the greatest interest and significance. Some of these objects are reproduced and discussed here for the first time.
Icons
¥122.54
As such, icons deserve the attention of art historians, for artistic handicrafts present difficult and complicated problems to historical interpretation which, for such reasons, have long been avoided. The time has come for Russian archaeology to study Russian icon-painting and trace through this particular phenomenon's five centuries of history. Three centuries of neglect beginning with Peter the Great have sundered the Russian people from the last flourishing period of this artform and destroyed a greater number of icons than all the town fires and devastations in the Russian countryside combined.
Edward Hopper Light and Dark
¥122.54
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。

Leonardo da Vinci volume 1

莱昂纳多·达·芬奇(1453—1519)不仅仅是位出神入化的画家,也是一位科学家、解剖师、雕塑家、建筑家、音乐家、工程师、发明家,乃至更多。那么也许该这么问:他不是什么呢?在意大利文艺复兴时期,他为意大利美第奇家族和法国王室创作了美的作品。达·芬奇深受同辈的钦佩,是个闻名全世界的少有而高尚的天才。即使是今天,人们对达·芬奇和他的作品的兴趣仍然丝毫没有消退;时代前沿的艺术家们仍然在研习他的作品和书法,希望能够揭开这位远见卓识的艺术家的秘密。
Paul Klee
¥122.54
作为二十世纪早期的标志性人物,保罗·克利(Paul Klee)参与了德国和瑞士前卫的先锋派运动。从充满活力的青骑士运动开始,到二十世纪三十年代末的超现实主义时期,以及他在包豪斯从教的岁月里,保罗·克利研究了诗歌、文学、以及重要的音乐等其他艺术媒介,来试图抓住绘画那有机的、和谐的本质。尽管他与其他艺术家——例如奥古斯特·麦克(August Macke?)和雅弗林斯基(Alexej von Jawlensky)合作过,但他有名的合作伙伴还是抽象表现主义画家瓦西里·康定斯基(Wassily Kandinsky)。作者艾力克.薛恩斯(Eric Shanes)——她还是安迪·沃霍尔(Andy Warhol)和布朗库西(Constantin Brancusi)的专著作者——的这本专著,通过收集和展示保罗·克利重要的作品,向读者发出了探索这位画家诗人那无可替代的艺术人生的邀请。
The Art of the Shoe

Aside from noticing a shoe for its comfort or elegance, contemporaries rarely take interest in this necessary object of daily life. However, the shoe is considerable in the history of civilization and art.
Courbet
¥61.23
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。

Persian Miniatures

文森特·梵高(1853-1890)是传奇,是被诅咒的艺术家神话的化身,是当代艺术的楷模。作为后印象派运动中表现主义画家,他的艺术在他生前备受误解。在荷兰,他研习农民的人物形象,参与了荷兰现实主义绘画运动。梵高一生忧心忡忡,丧心丧意,创作了超过两千幅艺术作品,但只在生前卖出去了一幅。梵高是一位自力更生的画家,他的作品因为粗犷而富含感情之美而闻名于世,是当今艺术市场上为有名的作品之一。
Renoir

皮埃尔-奥古斯特·雷诺阿生活和呼吸着的是一种新的艺术风格,对他来说,次印象派画展意义重大,他的画作得到艺术家们的肯定。1873年他搬到了蒙马特并在那里度过了一生,在那里有他需要的“外光”题材,他的模特,以及他的家人。在夏季,雷诺阿大量的室外画作是和莫奈一起完成,有时还有爱德华·马奈。在1877年,在第三次印象派画展,雷诺阿展示了超过二十余幅画作,并且在1880年后,他取得了“持续性的成功”。他受雇于富有的金融家,画作在伦敦和布鲁塞尔,以及1886年在法国乔治·帕蒂举办的第七届国际展览会上展出。
Franz Marc

他曾被纳粹诽谤为“堕落艺术家”,他笔下鲜明的线条和感情充沛的颜色有力地展现了战争的疼痛与创伤,他就是德国画家弗兰茨·马尔克(1880-1916)。在他的名作《动物的命运》中,马尔克创造性地用指直白的情感表达了原始的暴力,他称之为“战争的预感”。终,也正是这种对战争的热情终导致了三十六岁的马尔克的死亡。
Paul Signac

保罗·西涅克(Paul Signac,1863-1935)在年少之时便深受莫奈的作品的影响,其朋友及师父乔治·修拉(Georges Seurat)是点彩画派大师,将点彩的科学精确性与印象主义色彩和感情的表达相结合。西涅克与文森特·梵高(Vincent van Gogh)也私交甚密,他崇敬梵高的绘画技巧,通过游历全国为那些不朽的画作寻找灵感。这本著作介绍了西涅克纷繁复杂、闻名于世的技巧,也展示了他有名的作品。
Gustav Klimt
¥110.28
“I am not interested in myself as a subject for painting, but in others, particularly women…”Beautiful, sensuous and above all erotic, Gustav Klimt’s paintings speak of a world of opulence and leisure, which seems aeons away from the harsh, post-modern environment we live in now. The subjects he treats – allegories, portraits, landscapes and erotic figures – contain virtually no reference to external events, but strive rather to create a world where beauty, above everything else, is dominant. His use of colour and pattern was profoundly influenced by the art of Japan, ancient Egypt, and Byzantium. Ravenne, the flat, two-dimensional perspective of his paintings, and the frequently stylised quality of his images form an oeuvre imbued with a profound sensuality and one where the figure of woman, above all, reigns supreme. Klimt’s very first works brought him success at an unusually young age. Gustav, born in 1862, obtained a state grant to study at Kunstgewerbeschule (the Vienna School of
Diego Rivera

弗里达卡罗(Frida Kahlo)与迭戈里维拉(Diego Rivera)在1928年相识,当年弗里达才21岁,而迭戈42岁。当时迭戈已经是举世闻名的画家,而弗里达还在努力中。 这对备受折磨的组合——特别是对于弗里达来说,在痛苦和磨难中催生了大量艺术创作。弗里达时常处于丈夫的阴影下,忍受着他的不忠和她的妒忌,将所有的痛苦倾注在了画布上,逐渐吸引了公众的目光。在美洲和欧洲两块大陆上,坚定的艺术家宣告着自由的自白书,留下了卓越绝伦的才华。 在这本书中,作者Gerry Souter不仅为我们带来了艺术家的传记,也热情地凸显了这两位二十世纪伟大的墨西哥艺术家之间的联系。
Central Asian Art
¥122.54
Ever since the Bronze Age and the beginning of the Iron Age, Central Asia has rivalled with classical Eastern Asia (which extended from Mesopotamia to India) in the abilities and skills of its peoples. In the 6th century BCE it was largely conquered by the powerful Achaemenian Dynasty and in the 4th century BCE by Alexander the Great's army which gave it considerable artistic impetus. The period between the 3rd century BCE and the 3rd century CE marked the area with the appearance of powerful Kingdoms: the Parthians of the Arsacid dynasty (south of Turkmenistan, in Persia, and in part of Mesopotamia), the Greco-Bactrians, the Kushans (which included Bactria and the territory beyond Amu-Daria as far as the Indus and the Ganges), the Kangas (that united the Kharezm, the Sogdian, and the northern territories) whose social and cultural development founded an entirely new cultural impulse throughout the territory they controlled.

In 1905 Georgia travelled to Chicago to study painting at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1907 she enrolled at the Art Students’ League in New York City, where she studied with William Merritt Chase. During her time in New York she became familiar with the 291 Gallery owned by her future husband, photographer Alfred Stieglitz. In 1912, she and her sisters studied at university with Alon Bement, who employed a somewhat revolutionary method in art instruction originally conceived by Arthur Wesley Dow. In Bement’s class, the students did not mechanically copy nature, but instead were taught the principles of design using geometric shapes. They worked at exercises that included dividing a square, working within a circle and placing a rectangle around a drawing, then organising the composition by rearranging, adding or eliminating elements. It sounded dull and to most students it was. But Georgia found that these studies gave art its structure and helped her understand the basics of abstra
