诞生于二十世纪的破晓,野兽派在1905年的秋季沙龙中出现在了艺术家的眼帘。野兽派艺术家用明亮、生动的色彩冲击了艺术传统,也带来了巨大的争议。受到改变的鼓舞,诸如马蒂斯(Matisse),德兰(Derain)和弗兰曼克(Vlaminck)等艺术家通过采用习惯之外的色彩,寻找新的彩色语言。脱离了巴黎美术学院(Ecole des Beaux-Arts)所倡导的严格技艺的束缚,他们以浓淡不均的色彩为工具,深深浸透到绝美的画作之中。本书的作者邀请我们来体验这一生动艺术演变,尽管它在艺术史上的历时尚短,但在通往现代的道路上留下了不可磨灭的印记。

在向日葵之上,在鸢尾花之外,在加谢医生的肖像背后,有一个男人——梵高。他敏感脆弱,他天赋异禀,从1853年出生到1890年去世这几十年的岁月里,后印象主义画家梵高用他的创造力和技巧塑造了十九世纪绘画的概念。他成为了表现主义、野兽派和现代艺术的先驱。但是今天,梵高成为了备受疾病折磨的画家的象征,受制于他人,更受制于自己。在这本著作中,作者从梵高的书信和绘画入手,探索色彩的新的表现方式。传奇总是与平庸并存,伟大的艺术天才也总会遭遇现实的繁琐。

圣经中的后一部语言,称为《启示录》或者《若望默示录》,揭示了世界末日所发生之事。在中世纪时期,宗教权威统治了社会,上帝的信仰深入人心,关于世界末日的话题也常常出现在艺术之中。宗教话题那些象征性的内容常常引发不同的解释,不同的说法往往援引不同类型的支撑材料(壁毯、彩图级、雕塑和绘画)。这本书收集了有名的宗教主题作品,例如昂热大教堂(Angers Cathedral)的天启帘,欧坦大教堂(Autun Cathedral)雕刻的半月楣,阿尔比教堂(Albi Cathedral)的壁画。启示录的话题能够让艺术家们发挥自己的想象力来表现内心。

Marc Chagall was born into a strict Jewish family for whom the ban on representations of the human figure had the weight of dogma. A failure in the entrance examination for the Stieglitz School did not stop Chagall from later joining that famous school founded by the Imperial Society for the Encouragement of the Arts and directed by Nicholas Roerich. Chagall moved to Paris in 1910. The city was his “second Vitebsk”. At first, isolated in the little room on the Impasse du Maine at La Ruche, Chagall soon found numerous compatriots also attracted by the prestige of Paris: Lipchitz, Zadkine, Archipenko and Soutine, all of whom were to maintain the “smell” of his native land. From his very arrival Chagall wanted to “discover everything”. And to his dazzled eyes painting did indeed reveal itself. Even the most attentive and partial observer is at times unable to distinguish the “Parisian”, Chagall from the “Vitebskian”. The artist was not full of contradictions, nor was he a split personality, but he always remained different; he looked around and within himself and at the surrounding world, and he used his present thoughts and recollections. He had an utterly poetical mode of thought that enabled him to pursue such a complex course. Chagall was endowed with a sort of stylistic immunity: he enriched himself without destroying anything of his own inner structure. Admiring the works of others he studied them ingenuously, ridding himself of his youthful awkwardness, yet never losing his authenticity for a moment. At times Chagall seemed to look at the world through magic crystal – overloaded with artistic experimentation – of the Ecole de Paris. In such cases he would embark on a subtle and serious play with the various discoveries of the turn of the century and turned his prophetic gaze like that of a biblical youth, to look at himself ironically and thoughtfully in the mirror. Naturally, it totally and uneclectically reflected the painterly discoveries of Cézanne, the delicate inspiration of Modigliani, and the complex surface rhythms recalling the experiments of the early Cubists (See-Portrait at the Easel, 1914). Despite the analyses which nowadays illuminate the painter’s Judaeo-Russian sources, inherited or borrowed but always sublime, and his formal relationships, there is always some share of mystery in Chagall’s art. The mystery perhaps lies in the very nature of his art, in which he uses his experiences and memories. Painting truly is life, and perhaps life is painting.

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

Rembrandt is completely mysterious in his spirit, his character, his life, his work and his method of painting. What we can divine of his essential nature comes through his painting and the trivial or tragic incidents of his unfortunate life; his penchant for ostentatious living forced him to declare bankruptcy. His misfortunes are not entirely explicable, and his oeuvre reflects disturbing notions and contradictory impulses emerging from the depths of his being, like the light and shade of his pictures. In spite of this, nothing perhaps in the history of art gives a more profound impression of unity than his paintings, composed though they are of such different elements, full of complex significations. One feels as if his intellect, that genial, great, free mind, bold and ignorant of all servitude and which led him to the loftiest meditations and the most sublime reveries, derived from the same source as his emotions. From this comes the tragic element he imprinted on everything he pa

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。

Goya is perhaps the most approachable of painters. His art, like his life, is an open book. He concealed nothing from his contemporaries, and offered his art to them with the same frankness. The entrance to his world is not barricaded with technical difficulties. He proved that if a man has the capacity to live and multiply his experiences, to fight and work, he can produce great art without classical decorum and traditional respectability. He was born in 1746, in Fuendetodos, a small mountain village of a hundred inhabitants. As a child he worked in the fields with his two brothers and his sister until his talent for drawing put an end to his misery. At fourteen, supported by a wealthy patron, he went to Saragossa to study with a court painter and later, when he was nineteen, on to Madrid. Up to his thirty-seventh year, if we leave out of account the tapestry cartoons of unheralded decorative quality and five small pictures, Goya painted nothing of any significance, but once in contro

埃贡·席勒(Egon SchieleA)的作品是如此与众不同,他拒绝被分类。席勒在年仅十六岁的时候被维也纳艺术学院录取,很早就成为了出色的艺术家。他对于线条的完美把控,使得作品充满了紧张的表现张力。他深刻地坚信自己作为艺术家的重要性,在短暂的年轻岁月中完成了很多其他艺术家一生的艺术成就。他扎根在维也纳分离艺术中的“青年风格,和那一代人一样,他受到了维也纳*魅力和名气的艺术家古斯塔夫·克里姆特(Gustav Klimt)的影响。克里姆特也认识到了席勒那超凡脱俗的分才能,他开始支持这位年轻的艺术家。席勒在短短几年的时间里,便脱离了他导师的性感装饰影响,独具一格。1910年开始席勒进行了大量而创新的创作,坚定不移地揭示人类的形式——不仅仅是他自身——如此深刻,也展现了他正在经历更加心理的、精神和情感的解剖,而非物理上的解剖。他绘画了很多城镇、乡村的风景,也创作了不少正式的肖像画和寓言神话的人物。但正是他极其坦率的作品,有些时候甚至带有明显的色情,以及他与未成年的模特的合作使他在吹毛求疵的道德观念面前有些脆弱无力。在1912年,他因冒犯道德的嫌疑——包括绑架、强奸和伤风败俗——而锒铛入狱。严重的指控(差不多指的是伤风败俗)没有成立,但席勒却在监狱中度过了绝望的三个星期。德国的表现主义画家圈子对席勒的作品的接受程度不温不火。他的同胞奥斯卡·柯克西卡(Kokoschka)的待遇却要好得多。他崇拜慕尼黑艺术家蓝骑士(Der Blaue Reiter),但蓝骑士却断然回绝了他。之后,在次世界大战期间,他的作品逐渐小有名气。在1916年的一次事件中,他被柏林的表现主义杂志Die Aktion认定为左翼。席勒是一种嗜好。在很早的时候,他便被认为是天才,这为他招揽了一小群长期沉迷其中的收藏家和崇拜者。但虽然如此,多年来他的生活和经济状况都岌岌可危。他经常欠债,也偶尔会被迫用一些廉价的材料,在发黄的皱巴巴的纸上画画或是用硬纸板,而不是画家的画纸或画布。只有在1918年他才在维也纳拥有了次实质性的成功。悲剧的是,不久之后,他和他的妻子伊迪丝(Edith)便被1918年大规模的流感所击倒,席勒及其妻子和千千万万其他受害者一样都去世了。那年,席勒才年仅二十八岁。

At fifteen, Turner was already exhibiting View of Lambeth. He soon acquired the reputation of an immensely clever watercolourist. A disciple of Girtin and Cozens, he showed in his choice and presentation of theme a picturesque imagination which seemed to mark him out for a brilliant career as an illustrator. He travelled, first in his native land and then on several occasions in France, the Rhine Valley, Switzerland and Italy. He soon began to look beyond illustration. However, even in works in which we are tempted to see only picturesque imagination, there appears his dominant and guiding ideal of lyric landscape. His choice of a single master from the past is an eloquent witness for he studied profoundly such canvases of Claude as he could find in England, copying and imitating them with a marvellous degree of perfection. His cult for the great painter never failed. He desired his Sun Rising through Vapour and Dido Building Carthage to be placed in the National Gallery side by side w
