The Fauves
¥110.28
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。
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

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。
Edgar Degas

德加是印象主义画家中接近雷诺阿(Renoir)的人。他从1853年开始在路易斯-欧内斯特·巴里亚斯(Louis-Ernest Barrias)的工作室做学徒。1854年起,他师从拉莫特(Louis Lamothe)学习。拉莫特为崇敬法国画家安格尔(Ingres),并且将对这位大师的崇敬之情传递给了埃德加·德加。从1854年起,德加频繁地游历意大利,向早期的大师临摹学习。他的绘画和素描非常明晰地展现了自己的偏好,特别是对于拉斐尔、莱昂纳多·达·芬奇、米开朗基罗和曼坦那(Mantegna)。在他次创作——绘画马——德加开始了另一场发现之旅。德加的幅作品《勒伯迪街上剧院内的练舞场》献给了芭蕾舞。经过了细致的构图,左右人物相互平衡,姿态各异。广泛的观察和大量的素描是完成这幅作品的关键。芭蕾舞的画作中将至始至终保留德加的热情。
Ilya Repin

伊利亚·列宾(Ilya Repin)是俄罗斯领先的画家和雕塑家,是俄罗斯巡回展览画派的重要代表人物。这场先锋运动反对形式主义和官方艺术学院的传统,宣扬自由、平等、博爱的观念。列宾有力量的作品极具心理学深度(《伊凡雷帝杀子》),揭露了当时社会秩序内部的紧张事态(《伏尔加河上的纤夫》)。这本著作邀请您来欣赏这位进步性现实主义画家的杰作。他的作品终定义和影响了未来的社会艺术运动。
Post-Impressionism
¥110.28
印象主义彻底改变了备受学术规范桎梏的艺术媒介,标志着向现代绘画迈出的步。后印象主义则更加革命性,完全解放了色彩,带我们进入了新的未知的视野领域。乔治·修拉(Georges Seurat)在新时代起锚启航,通过研习谢弗勒尔(Chevreul ,Michel Eugene)的色彩法则,将色彩的化学原理融入到点绘中,创造了全新的形象。梵高也通过浓墨重彩的画笔来表现正午的太阳,而塞尚(Cézanne)则摒弃了线性透视法。正是这些艺术家们的多元化和奇特性,后印象主义成为了二十世纪著名绘画大家的华美乐章。Nathalia Brodskaa的这本《印象主义》正是基于此,以飨读者。

费利克斯·瓦洛东(Félix Vallotton, 1865-1925))是世纪之交非常活跃的艺术家。虽然瓦洛东负盛名的是他那鲜明而高雅的日本风格木版画,但他也是位手法娴熟的画家,创作了不少有趣的作品,将娴熟的技术和情绪写实主义完美地结合。这本精华之作为读者评价了这位革命性的艺术家的一生,引人入胜。

Baroque Art
¥110.28
The Baroque period lasted from the beginning of the seventeenth century to the middle of the eighteenth century. Baroque art was artists’ response to the Catholic Church’s demand for solemn grandeur following the Council of Trent, and through its monumentality and grandiloquence it seduced the great European courts. Amongst the Baroque arts, architecture has, without doubt, left the greatest mark in Europe: the continent is dotted with magnificent Baroque churches and palaces, commissioned by patrons at the height of their power. The works of Gian Lorenzo Bernini of the Southern School and Peter Paul Rubens of the Northern School alone show the importance of this artistic period. Rich in images encompassing the arts of painting, sculpture and architecture, this work offers a complete insight into this passionate period in the history of art.
Cubism
¥110.28
Les Demoiselles d’Avignon: five young women that changed modern art forever. Faces seen simultaneously from the front and in profile, angular bodies whose once voluptuous feminine forms disappear behind asymmetric lines - with this work, Picasso revolutionised the entire history of painting. Cubism was thus born in 1907. Transforming natural forms into cylinders and cubes, painters like Juan Gris and Robert Delaunay, led by Braque and Picasso, imposed a new vision upon the world that was in total opposition to the principles of the Impressionists. Largely diffused in Europe, Cubism developed rapidly in successive phases that brought art history to all the richness of the 20th century: from the futurism of Boccioni to the abstraction of Kandinsky, from the suprematism of Malevich to the constructivism of Tatlin. Linking the core text of Guillaume Apollinaire with the studies of Dr. Dorothea Eimert, this work offers a new interpretation of modernity’s crucial moment, and permits the read
Impressionism

“我画我所见,而非他人所想见。”难道还有什么能比 爱德华马奈(Edouard Manet)的这句话更能诠释印象主义运动了。马奈的这句话似乎与莫奈(Monet)或雷阿诺(Renoir)的情感表达完全不同。莫奈在去世前不久曾写道:“印象主义之名源我而起,但却冠以了一群并非印象主义者的群体,对此我深表遗憾。” 在这本书中,Nathalia Brodskaia考察了这场十九世纪末期的印象主义运动的矛盾之处,分析了印象主义群体在艺术家个人的主张之下形成了的连贯整体的悖论。学术艺术和现代抽象绘画之间的道路漫长而艰辛。作者逐一分析这场艺术运动的基本元素,通过每位艺术家的作品考察了个人的需求是如何催生出现代绘画。
The Viennese Secession
¥110.28
维也纳分离派预示着一场变革。这一学派拥有约二十位才华横溢的艺术家,他们持不同意见,反对保守的学院派画风,认为学院派的风格僵化了维也纳和当时的奥匈帝国。受到新艺术运动的影响,克林姆(Klimt)、莫尔(Moll)和霍夫曼(Hoffmann)在1897年创造了分离派,这并非是一场匿名的艺术革命。因为本质上的不同,分离派将自身定义为“完全艺术”。没有受到任何政治或商业的限制,分离派运动更加类似于哲学运动,是一种以意识形态的风暴来影响工匠、建筑师、图形艺术家和设计师。艺术家们从功成名就的艺术中抬起头来,将目光投放在大量装饰性的植物、仙女之中。他们拥抱唯美主义;当然,这些情色的力量只会冒犯当时的官僚阶级。在这本书中,作者谈到了绘画、雕塑、建筑,强调了分离派运动的多样性和丰富性,正如他们那明确有力的口号:“为时代的艺术,为艺术应得的自由”,阐释了创新性和创造力。
Symbolism
¥110.28
Symbolism appeared in France and Europe between the 1880s and the beginning of the 20th century. The Symbolists, fascinated with ancient mythology, attempted to escape the reign of rational thought imposed by science. They wished to transcend the world of the visible and the rational in order to attain the world of pure thought, constantly flirting with the limits of the unconscious. The French Gustave Moreau, Odilon Redon, the Belgians Fernand Khnopff and Félicien Rops, the English Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and the Dutch Jan Toorop are the most representative artists of the movement.
Peter Paul Rubens
¥110.28
Universally celebrated for his rosy and concupiscent nudes, Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) was an artist whose first concern was sensuality in all its forms. This Baroque master devoted himself to a lifelong celebration of the joys and wonders of the physical realm. He felt that the human body was as lovely and natural as the many natural landscapes he painted as a young man. In a lushly illustrated text, María Varshavskaya and Xenia Yegorova explore the master at work, bringing a unique focus to Ruben’s life and work
Na?ve Art
¥110.28
Naive art first became popular at the end of the 19th century. Until that time, this form of expression, created by untrained artists and characterised by spontaneity and simplicity, enjoyed little recognition from professional artists and art critics. Influenced by primitive arts, naive painting is distinguished by the fluidity of its lines, vivacity, and joyful colours, as well as by its rather clean-cut, simple shapes. Naive art counts among it artists: Henri Rousseau, Séraphine de Senlis, André Bauchant, and Camille Bombois. This movement has also found adherents abroad, including such prominent artists as Joan Miró, Guido Vedovato, Niko Pirosmani, and Ivan Generalic.
