English Painting
¥122.54
Strictly speaking, the word school applies only in a very imperfect manner to the growth of painting in England. Generally it is used to designate a special collection of traditions and processes, a particular method, a peculiar style in design, and an equally peculiar taste in colouring – all contributing to the representation of a national ideal existing in the minds of the artists of the same country at the same time. In this sense, we speak of the Flemish school, the Dutch school, the Spanish school, several Italian schools, and the French school, but not of the English school. We cannot apply the word to English art, for it is just this absence of any national tradition that strikes one most forcibly in studying English painting. Each painter seems to stand by himself, and is, so to speak, isolated from his brother artists. No trace is to be found of any uniformity of method or of teaching, none of systematic instruction by the State, the Academy, or the Fine Art school. English a
Aestheticism in Art
¥122.54
It is no wonder that this subject was considered inexplicable for so long, as the nature of many parts of it cannot possibly come within the reach of mere men with pens; otherwise those ingenious gentlemen who have published treatises about it (and who wrote much more learnedly than can be expected from one who never took up the pen before) would not so soon have been bewildered in their accounts of it and obliged so suddenly to turn into the broad and more beaten path of moral beauty, in order to extricate themselves from the difficulties they seem to have met with in this. What’s more, they were forced for the same reasons to amuse their readers with amazing (but often misapplied) encomiums on deceased painters and their performances, wherein they continually discoursed effects instead of developing causes. After much flattery, in very pleasing language, one is fairly set down just from where they were picked up, honestly confessed to that in terms of grace, the main point in questio
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.
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.
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.
American Graffiti
¥122.54
自从二十世纪七十年代早期起,涂鸦艺术家便用铺天盖地的复杂标签占领了地铁车厢。Margo Thompson在书中分析了这种决然反抗的表现形式,他将涂鸦艺术家与当代走廊艺术联系了起来。正如涂鸦艺术家代表了少数种族人发声,这位作家也用原始的方式成为了这种被误解的艺术形式的代言人。这本著作从新的角度分析了涂鸦艺术和巴斯奎特(Basquiat)作品的交叉性。这本书的可读性不仅在于讨论这一话题的作品少之又少,同样,这本书本身也吸引了大量的读者。
Romanesque Art
¥122.54
罗马艺术指的是11世纪到13世纪的艺术史。这一时代有各种学派百家争鸣,多种多样,各具特色。在建筑和雕塑领域,罗马艺术的特色是具有原始的形式。这本著作通过丰富的插图和迷人的文字,重新发现这种在当今备受轻视的中世纪艺术仍然可与之后功成名就的哥特艺术相媲美。
William Blake
¥122.54
英国艺术家威廉·布雷克(William Blake,1757-1827)是浪漫主义运动的主要人物,也曾是一位画家、设计师、雕刻家和诗人。他一生致力于诠释他的文学作品,他的文字也随着他雕刻的线条和奇妙的绘画,成为了名副其实的手工绘本。受到圣经和先知预言的感染(《地狱的箴言》,《永远的福音书》和《天堂之门》),布雷克的艺术将他所处的时代及浪漫主义运动的现代感与他所探索的古典主义相结合。
Landscapes
¥122.54
This book does not claim to be a complete history of landscape painting. The length of such a history would considerably exceed the proportions of this volume, but I have nevertheless endeavoured to give some idea of the order in which the different masters appeared, and of the relative importance of each. Having only to speak here of those who excelled, I have tried to show, in some sort of sequence, whence these artists came, the special merit of each, and his influence on the development of art.
Malevich
¥122.54
卡济米尔·谢韦里诺维奇·马列维奇(Kazimir Malevich, 1878-1935)是一位画家和伟大的艺术理论家。但为重要的是,他是至上主义(出现在俄国的纯几何形抽象绘画艺术运动)的奠基人。“至上主义”,马列维奇写道,“让我发现了很多过去不能理解的东西。这都潜伏在人类的潜意识中,是对于空间的迫切愿望,是逃离地球的夙愿。”这本新出版的著作收录了马列维奇*才气的作品。这位创新的艺术家,直到二十七岁时都没有接受过专业的绘画教育,但却出于好奇和好学的愿望来进行绘画创作。Gerry Souter又一次带领我们欣赏才华横溢的艺术家的作品,领略这位艺术家人格的新视点。
Caravaggio
¥122.54
直到二十世纪中期,长期以来备受争议的意大利画家卡拉瓦乔(Caravaggio,1571-1610)才重新被发现。作为现实主义的倡导者,这位反宗教改革的艺术家挑战陈习旧规,回归圣人形象的人性感。这位神秘的画家赋予了圣人纵欲之情,远远超出了通常的圣人崇拜,为模糊的色情打开了一扇门,这也导致了教廷的愤怒。这位影子画家矛盾而强烈地阐释了他堕落的生活方式和放荡的道德准绳。他所创造的明暗处理技巧,在艺术史上留下了血腥的印象。
Fra Angelico
¥122.54
At the beginning of the fifteenth century, the Dominican convent of Fiesole had a lively intellectual atmosphere. The convent was founded in 1406 by the Blessed Giovanni di Dominici Bacchini, (who later became the Archbishop of Ragusa and, in 1419, a cardinal,) in order to reestablish the former discipline and strictness of the Dominican order in the spirit of Saint Dominic. Members of the observant monasteries were expected to consecrate themselves to the saving of souls not only through study, science, and preaching, but also through applied artistic labour. Exiled from Venice, Giovanni arrived in Città di Castello near Arezzo in 1399. From there he was summoned to preach in the cathedral of Florence for Lent. San Lapo Mazzei wrote to a friend after hearing one of Giovanni’s sermons, and summarized his impressions in the following terms, “I was at Santa Liparata (the cathedral) where a Dominican friar was supposed to preach, and where he did indeed preach. I assure you that I have ne
Greek Sculpture
¥122.54
The study of Greek sculpture was unknown two hundred and fifty years ago. Winckelmann1 was the first to study it, and to publish a book on the subject in 1755. The excavations in Pompeii and Herculaneum, the removal of the Parthenon sculptures to London by Lord Elgin, and above all, the regeneration of Greece and the subsequent rich finds in her soil, added zest to the continually growing interest in this new study.
Hans Memling
¥122.54
汉斯·梅姆林(约1433年-1494年)长期以来被认为是个小众画家,他并非宫廷画家,而是个资产阶级画家。他在十七世纪被人遗忘,而如今,梅姆林却被认为是15世纪伟大的北欧画家之一,这主要得益于他的肖像画中现实主义和理想主义的完美平衡。他的作品常常是双连画、三联画或祭坛作品,展示出了可以与凡·艾克媲美的精湛技巧。他对于细节的把控、精确的绘制、技巧的精通和对创作的灵感都在他恢宏的作品中展现得淋漓尽致,诸如《后的审判》、《圣凯瑟琳神秘的婚姻》、《圣母玛利亚的七喜》。以梅姆林毕生作品中*代表性的作品为例,他的作品通过人物细腻的面部和冷静的姿态,来表现这一重要艺术家的复杂而精湛的技艺。
Hokusai
¥122.54
毫无疑问,葛饰北斋是十九世纪中期以来负盛名的日本艺术家,他的作品在西方世界广为人知。葛饰北斋的作品是对于一种被孤立的文明的艺术表达和反应,极大影响了诸如梵高之类的欧洲印象派和后印象派画家;这也使得葛饰北斋成为了跻身欧洲艺术界个日本艺术家。葛饰北斋是位日本浮世绘的大师,他的作品丰富多样、意蕴重大,创作年限长达九十年,其气势恢宏和类型缤纷的特点在本书中展现得淋漓尽致。
Michelangelo
¥122.54
米开朗基罗(Michelangelo)的名字不断浮现在西斯廷教堂、阿波罗、丘比特等数不计数的杰作中。在《意大利绘画》(The Italian Painting)这本书中,作者司汤达写道:“在古希腊风物和米开朗基罗之间,没有任何距离,除了或多或少技术娴熟的伪造物。”在《漫步罗马》(Promenade in Rome)一书中,沙特布莱表达了对《圣母怜子像》(Pieta)中那些精致的线条的崇敬之情。诸如司汤达等大连古欧秀的作家将米开朗基罗视为西方艺术复兴的大家之一。毫无疑问,米开朗基罗的作品经历住了时间的考验。在若干年后,米开朗基罗的作品何以能够揭示希腊先驱们的创造性来源?米开朗基罗是创造性的天才和超人,是意大利文艺复兴中无与伦比的艺术家,他的影响力和成就与达芬奇可相媲美。在这本著作中, Jean-Matthieu Gosselin探讨了米开朗基罗所有的身份:雕塑家、建筑师、画家和美术家。
Pollock
¥122.54
Each of the four sections of this book refers to a span of at least ten years. Each subsection, usually covering one year, opens by noting historical events relative at least indirectly to Pollock, or offers some significant backdrop to his life. Events named within that year are not necessarily presented here in strict chronological order. This book should not be relied on for trying to create a strict chronology of details.
莫奈第一卷
¥122.54
对莫奈而言,艺术创作始终是一种痛苦的挣扎。较之同时代人,他更深沉地痴迷于表达情感,更强烈地渴望传达超越大自然的光线效果。用他自己的话来形容:“技巧来来去去……艺术始终如一——它是大自然的转译,需要与意志力同等的敏感性。我和太阳搏斗……(我)应该用金 子和宝石作画。”

Titian

这本著作不仅为我们提供了研究性和富有洞察力的视角来欣赏世界上*有天赋的艺术家之一——提香的作品,同样也邀请读者来发掘威尼斯艺术场景中熙熙攘攘的世界,这也正是提香生活和工作的地方。书中迷人的叙述既可愉悦大众,其中对十六世纪威尼斯画家的独特的交叉分析同样也会吸引艺术家和学生。
Gothic Art
¥122.54
Gothic art finds its roots in the powerful architecture of the cathedrals of northern France. It is a medieval art movement that evolved throughout Europe over more than 200 years. Leaving curved Roman forms behind, the architects started using flying buttresses and pointed arches to open up cathedrals to daylight. A period of great economic and social change, the Gothic era also saw the development of a new iconography celebrating the Holy Mary – in drastic contrast to the fearful themes of dark Roman times. Full of rich changes in all of the various art forms (architecture, sculpture, painting, etc.), Gothic art paved the way for the Italian Renaissance and International Gothic movement.
