Picasso
￥40.79
毕加索出生于西班牙，正如人们说的那样，他还未呀呀学语就已经开始了涂鸦。在1899年到1900年期间,毕加索绘画的主题是"终真理",即人生的虚幻无常和死亡的不可避免。在早期作品后是他的“蓝色时期”，然后是“玫瑰时期”，在1906年冬至1907年春期间，裸体女性形象对毕加索来说尤其重要，他独自完成了一幅不同寻常的画作《亚威农的少女》。1908年秋天，毕加索和乔治·布拉克成为了朋友，并且共同领导了立体派*的六年。在二十世纪二十年代期间,毕加索的画风回到了一种更形象化和接近于超现实主义的风格，在他晚年成名之前，他开始临摹艺术大师的画作，比如委拉斯奎兹，普桑,戈雅,马奈,库尔贝和德拉克洛瓦。
Rembrandt
￥40.79
伦勃朗的思想、生活和工作都是神秘的，我们只能够通过他的画作和他琐碎的或者说悲惨的不幸生活来猜测他的本性。悲剧的元素被他画在每一幅画上，不论主题；他的画作有不平等的也有崇高的，这可以被看做是这个混乱的存在所引发的不可避免的后果。然而在绘画方面，他并没有马上找到让我们赞美的在成熟的晚期作品中体现出的大胆、多样和原创性的方法来表达那些他不得不说的却又让人费解的东西。尽管有些微妙，但在他全盛时期，那些野蛮的判定也确实有助于他远离社会纷扰。他满怀好奇前往伟大的威尼斯，学习神话和宗教，他还从现实生活和其他人的画作吸收知识形成自己的风格。
Goya
￥40.79
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
Schiele
￥40.79
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。
Turner
￥40.79
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
Constable
￥40.79
John Constable was the first English landscape painter to take no lessons from the Dutch. He is rather indebted to the landscapes of Rubens, but his real model was Gainsborough, whose landscapes, with great trees planted in well-balanced masses on land sloping upwards towards the frame, have a rhythm often found in Rubens. Constable’s originality does not lie in his choice of subjects, which frequently repeated themes beloved by Gainsborough. Nevertheless, Constable seems to belong to a new century; he ushered in a new era. The difference in his approach results both from technique and feeling. Excepting the French, Constable was the first landscape painter to consider as a primary and essential task the sketch made direct from nature at a single sitting; an idea which contains in essence the destinies of modern landscape, and perhaps of most modern painting. It is this momentary impression of all things which will be the soul of the future work. Working at leisure upon the large canva

The cathartic and therapeutic value of hearing these things said aloud in a public place is part of our essential healing process and proves, once again, that art has the ability to go where angels fear to tread.”?Daily News, Durban
Da Vinci Notebooks
￥40.79
A singular fatality has ruled the destiny of nearly all the most famous of Leonardo da Vinci's works. Two of the three most important were never completed, obstacles having arisen during his life-time, which obliged him to leave them unfinished; namely the Sforza Monument and the Wall-painting of the Battle of Anghiari, while the third—the picture of the Last Supper at Milan—has suffered irremediable injury from decay and the repeated restorations to which it was recklessly subjected during the XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries. Nevertheless, no other picture of the Renaissance has become so wellknown and popular through copies of every description.
Leviathan
￥40.79
Leviathan is one of the earliest and most influential examples of social contract theory. A classic western work on statecraft comparable to Machiavelli's The Prince. Written during the English Civil War (1642–1651), Leviathan argues for a social contract and rule by an absolute sovereign.
Agamemnon
￥40.79
A watchman on top of the house, reporting that he has been lying restless there like a dog for a year, for so rules the expectant manly-willed heart of a woman (that woman being Clytemnestra awaiting the return of her husband, who has arranged that mountaintop beacons give the signal when Troy has fallen). He laments the fortunes of the house, but promises to keep silent: 'A huge ox has stepped onto my tongue.' However, when Agamemnon returns, he brings with him Cassandra, the enslaved daughter of the Trojan king, Priam, and a priestess of Apollo, as his concubine, further angering Clytemnestra.
The Choephori
￥40.79
Orestes arrives at the grave of his father, accompanied by his cousin Pylades, the son of the king of Phocis, where he has grown up in exile; he places two locks of his hair on the tomb. Orestes and Pylades hide as Electra, Orestes' sister, arrives at the grave accompanied by a chorus of elderly slave women (the libation bearers of the title) to pour libations on Agamemnon's grave; they have been sent by Clytemnestra in an effort to ward off harm. Just as the ritual ends, Electra spots a lock of hair on the tomb which she recognizes as similar to her own; subsequently she sees two sets of footprints, one of which has proportions similar to hers. At this point Orestes and Pylades emerge from their hiding place and Orestes gradually convinces her of his identity.
The Persians
￥40.79
The Persians takes place in Susa, which at the time was one of the capitals of the Persian Empire, and opens with a chorus of old men of Susa, who are soon joined by the Queen Mother, Atossa, as they await news of her son King Xerxes' expedition against the Greeks. Expressing her anxiety and unease, Atossa narrates what is probably the first dream sequence in European theatre.
The Knights
￥40.79
The Knights is a satire on political and social life in 5th-century BC Athens, the characters are drawn from real life and Cleon is clearly intended to be the villain.

Lysistrata
￥40.79
Lysistrata is a comedy originally performed in classical Athens in 411 BC. A comic account of one woman's extraordinary mission to end the Peloponnesian War. Lysistrata persuades the women of Greece to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands and lovers as a means of forcing the men to negotiate peace—a strategy, however, that inflames the battle between the sexes. The play is notable for being an early exposé of sexual relations in a male-dominated society.
Women In Council
￥40.79
A group of women, led by the wise and redoubtable Praxagora, has decided that the women of Athens must convince the men to give them control of the city, as they are convinced they can do a better job. Disguised as men, the women sneak into the assembly and command the majority of votes needed to carry their series of revolutionary proposals, even convincing some of the men to vote for it on the grounds that it is the only thing they have not tried.
