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。
Botticelli
¥122.54
美第奇宫廷画家波提切利(Botticelli)是意大利文艺复兴时期与莱昂纳多·达·芬奇(Leonard da Vinci)、米开朗基罗(Michelangelo)和拉斐尔(Raphael)相比肩的艺术家之一。波提切利擅长女性肖像画,他笔下那巧妙的线条和无拘无束的纵欲之情将他与其他画家区分开来。在宗教和私人的委托创作之间,这位佛罗伦萨的艺术家将世俗的元素引入复杂的神话主题的艺术当中,创作了例如《春》(Primavera)和《维纳斯的诞生》(The Birth of Venus)等不容置疑的杰作。
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。
Jasper Johns
¥122.54
这本书不仅仅为读者展示了这位艺术家那类目众多的艺术画卷,同样讨论了他对二十世纪六十年代及其之后的艺术的影响,以及他与当时其他的艺术大家的个人和艺术交往。这本书回顾了琼斯的艺术,同时它也展示了过去六十年美国艺术图景,让读者能够感受到他们喜爱的艺术家在历史和当代的重要性。
Leonardo da Vinci volume 1
¥122.54
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。
Art of War
¥122.54
在历史的进程中,很多战争改变了这个世界的政治文化格局。尽管重大事件取决于战争的剧变和激烈程度,战争也影响了整个民族和几代人的身份定位,因而产生了深远的文化效应。尽管在激烈动荡的时期,战争对身体和情绪造成了破坏,但也刺激了丰富的艺术创造。几个世纪以来,伴随着战争的创伤数不胜数的艺术家创造了不朽的作品来祭奠战争中*戏剧性的时刻,从而将它们永恒定格在历史中。 这本著作中优美的画作刻画了著名的战役和战争场景,形象地加入了传说的中国孙子兵法的说明,以及记载了不同战争中重要的时刻,每一篇都由著名的作者撰写。从乌切洛(Uccello)的《圣罗马洛战争》(The Battle of San Romano)到毕加索的《格尔尼卡》(Guernica),这本著作为我们展现了战争灵感下艺术作品的魅力以及它们所展现的人类历史。
African Art

Well-known and appreciated by Africanists, Maurice Delafosse (1870-1926) knew how to exceed the requirements of his environment and of his time for the benefit of an authentic Africa.
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.
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.

The Art of the Shoe
¥122.54
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.
William Morris
¥122.54
For us there is a violent contrast between the beauty of nature and the ugliness of man’s work which most past ages have felt little or not at all. We think of a town as spoiling the country, and even of a single modern house as a blot on the face of the earth. But in the past, until the eighteenth century, men thought that their own handiwork heightened the beauty of nature or was, at least, in perfect harmony with it. We are aware of this harmony in a village church or an old manor house or a thatched cottage, however plain these may be; and wonder at it as a secret that we have lost.
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。
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.
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.
The ABC of Style
¥122.54
你是否想过,为什么你的天花板的形状看起来像哥德式教堂的门拱?为什么你所在的办公楼看起来那么与众不同? 《建筑风格基础》带您探索从古代源头到二十世纪四十年代期间不同的建筑和室内装饰风格。这本书将带着你畅游历史,纵观法国贵族的宫殿和城堡,饱览中世纪多明尼加君主教堂的简约设计。通常,政治变动会带来艺术风格的转变。因此,常常以君王或历史时期来命名不同的欧式风格(文艺复兴式、中世纪风格)。直到十九世纪末,时代风格的转变仍是基于皇室贵族的品味。因此,风格可以说就是一种对权力的确认。
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。
