居斯塔夫库尔贝(Gustave Courbet,1819--1877)的出生地奥尔南(Ornans)靠近美丽的杜河峡谷的地方,也正是这个地方,让这个男孩成长为男人,并培养了他对于这片风景的热爱。 在本质上,他是个革命者,天生具有反抗现存秩序和独立的精神;他咆哮和残酷的性格使得他的革命性不仅仅体现在艺术中,也体现在政治上。在这两个方面,他的革命精神不证自明。他到巴黎去学习艺术,但是他却不属于任何一个著名的大师的工作室。在此之前在母国,他只学习了很少的绘画技巧,他更愿意去卢浮宫中学习大师的杰作。初,他的绘画作品还不足以引起任何的反对声音,并被一些美术展览馆收录。而面对之后的《奥尔南的葬礼》,批评家激烈地抨击道:“这是一场伪装的葬礼,在这六米长的画布中,只有啼笑皆非,没有痛哭流涕。”确实,对库尔贝作品真实的攻击便是鲜活的血肉。他真实地刻画了男男女女的真实面貌和他们从事的事情。他笔下的人物,绝非剥夺了个性、理想化类型的男男女女,也绝不是摆着造型来装饰画布。他宣扬真实的、原本的东西,宣称真理才是艺术家追求的目标。所以,在1855年的世界博览会上,他将他的作品从展览厅中取出,放在入口外的一个小木厅旁。在小木厅上他悬挂了一张大写的横幅,上面写着:“库尔贝——现实主义者。”和每一个革命者一样,库尔贝也是位*主义者。他忽视了这样的事实:自然的真理隐藏在不同的伪装下,不同的视角和经历都会对其有所影响。相反,他坚持认为艺术仅仅是自然的复制品,重新选择和排列也就无关紧要了。在追求美的过程中,库尔贝常常选择那些比较丑陋的主题。但是他同样也有审美观,这体现在他的风景画中。这种美感与他深厚的情感相混合,体现在了他的海景画中——他后一幅令人印象深刻的作品。不仅如此,无论是否吸引观赏者,他所有的作品都证实了他是一位强有力的画家,以宽广、自由的姿态,色彩的美感和坚固的颜料,使得他的代表作真实而震撼人心。

Tamara de Lempicka created some of the most iconic images of the twentieth century. Her portraits and nudes of the years 1925-1933 grace the dust jackets of more books than the work of any other artist of her time. Publishers understand that in reproduction, these pictures have an extraordinary power to catch the eye and kindle the interest of the public. In recent years, the originals of the images have fetched record sums at Christie’s and Sotheby’s. Beyond the purchasing power of most museums, these paintings have been eagerly collected by film and pop stars.

After the New World had been settled by European immigrants landing on America’s eastern coastline, the only direction to go was west. This new country contained untold fortunes, and drew adventurers who wished to explore this vast frontier, and settlers who longed to make it their own.

At the time when Dionysius and his sons were active, ownership of icons became increasingly common. Previously nobles and merchants had begun the practice of displaying them in a place of honour in their homes, sometimes even in a special room, but now peasant families who could afford it also began to hang icons in a krasny ugol, or“beautiful corner”.

The Art of Champa

Evoking Champa means glorifying death, sanctifying remnants, magnifying clues, singing the praises of mourning, and reconstructing history. Champa only exists now in the memories of a diminishing collection of living people who desire eternal life, in a half-audible melody – necessarily exotic – that is hummed by a few disquieted spirits.

After an initial period of brilliance, during which time it rose to achieve perfection, Flemish art gradually fell into decline. Although thorough studies of its origins have revealed works, in particular those of the miniaturists, that are deserving of notice and which predate the artistic careers of the two Van Eycks, Hubert and Jan, the genius of the brothers remains stunningly spectacular, surpassing that of their predecessors to such a degree that it would be impossible to find an equally sudden, decisive and glorious evolution in the history of art.

如果色情也有一个名字的话,那肯定是喜多川歌麿。喜多川歌麿细腻地勾画了构成江户时代的乐之园。丰富多样的画布,天鹅长长的脖颈,神秘的面孔,寥寥几笔,便是东方的肉欲之欢。

Edvard Munch, born in 1863, was Norway's most popular artist. His brooding and anguished paintings, based on personal grief and obsessions, were instrumental in the development of Expressionism. During his childhood, the death of his parents, his brother and sister, and the mental illness of another sister, were of great influence on his convulsed and tortuous art. In his works, Munch turned again and again to the memory of illness, death and grief. During his career, Munch changed his idiom many times. At first, influenced by Impressionism and Post-impressionism, he turned to a highly personal style and content, increasingly concerned with images of illness and death. In the 1892s, his style developed a ‘Synthetist' idiom as seen in The Scream (1893) which is regarded as an icon and the portrayal of modern humanity's spiritual and existential anguish. He painted different versions of it. During the 1890s Munch favoured a shallow pictorial space, and used it in his frequently frontal p

保罗·高更早是一名水手,之后成为巴黎一名成功的股票经纪人,不过1874年他开始在周末画画,9年之后,在一次股市崩盘之后,他退休成为全职画家。1891年高更离开法国,在塔希提度过两年时光,并决定了他未来的生活和职业。1895年,他回到那里。在塔希提,高更发现了原始的自然艺术,并真诚地用画布展现出来。从那时起他的画作表现了这样的风格:构图简洁;色彩纯净明亮,具有观赏性;对异度风景的从容表现。高更称之为“合成象征理论”。

奥古斯特·麦克(1887-1914),德国表现主义大师。德国表现主义萌芽于19世纪早期,主张放弃勾勒物理实在的艺术,转而致力于谋求情绪的表达,尤其注重于表达悲惨和恐惧的黑暗情绪。麦克是色彩与形体大师,创作了很多吸引人眼球、引起观赏者强烈共鸣的作品。他的笔下既有阳光明媚的突尼斯街道,也有阴云密布的波恩大教堂和那些不知名的拥挤的火车站。在这本书中,作者沃尔特·科恩回顾了这位艺术家短暂的一生,看似潜力无限的他,却终英年早逝。

波纳尔、维亚尔、鲁塞尔和丹尼斯是纳比派画家中为赫赫有名的几位。纳比派是19世纪末形成的后印象派艺术团体。但是,他们艺术创作中日益增长的个人主义威胁到了纳比派的团结,他们的作品也逐渐分化。这本书让读者能够认真地对比和视察这一迷人的社团中的艺术家们。通过在和谐的创作中赞美日常的场景和景观,纳比派的作品不仅吸引了艺术学院的学生和艺术爱好者的注意,同样也吸引了一大批普通观众。

For Claude Monet the designation ‘impressionist’ always remained a source of pride. In spite of all the things critics have written about his work, Monet continued to be a true impressionist to the end of his very long life. He was so by deep conviction, and for his Impressionism he may have sacrificed many other opportunities that his enormous talent held out to him. Monet did not paint classical compositions with figures, and he did not become a portraitist, although his professional training included those skills. He chose a single genre for himself, landscape painting, and in that he achieved a degree of perfection none of his contemporaries managed to attain. Yet the little boy began by drawing caricatures. Boudin advised Monet to stop doing caricatures and to take up landscapes instead. The sea, the sky, animals, people, and trees are beautiful in the exact state in which nature created them – surrounded by air and light. Indeed, it was Boudin who passed on to Monet his convictio

Influenced by the masters of Antiquity, the genius of Michelangelo and Baroque sculpture, particularly of Bernini, Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) is one of the most renowned artists in history. Though Rodin is considered a founder of modern sculpture, he did not set out to critique past classical traditions. Many of his sculptures were criticised and considered controversial because of their sensuality or hyperrealist qualities. His most original works departed from traditional themes of mythology and allegory, and embraced the human body, celebrating individualism and physicality. This book uncovers the life and career of this highly acclaimed artist by exploring his most famous works of art, such as the Gates of Hell, The Thinker and the infamous The Kiss.

Egon Schiele’s work is so distinctive that it resists categorisation. Admitted to the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts at just sixteen, he was an extraordinarily precocious artist, whose consummate skill in the manipulation of line, above all, lent a taut expressivity to all his work. Profoundly convinced of his own significance as an artist, Schiele achieved more in his abruptly curtailed youth than many other artists achieved in a full lifetime. His roots were in the Jugendstil of the Viennese Secession movement. Like a whole generation, he came under the overwhelming influence of Vienna’s most charismatic and celebrated artist, Gustav Klimt. In turn, Klimt recognised Schiele’s outstanding talent and supported the young artist, who within just a couple of years, was already breaking away from his mentor’s decorative sensuality. Beginning with an intense period of creativity around 1910, Schiele embarked on an unflinching exposé of the human form – not the least his own – so penetrating th

作为对工业革命的回应,新艺术运动以装饰和建筑风格发端。新艺术运动初的目标是通过回归自然主题,创造新的自然美学。该运动中的设计常常伴有植物图案和高度风格化、反大起大落曲线的细致刻画,是谓之新艺术风格。 为了达到该目标,诸如古斯塔夫克林姆(Gustav Klimt)、科罗曼穆塞尔(Koloman Moser)、安东尼高迪(Antoni Gaudi)、扬托罗普(Jan Toorop)、威廉莫里斯(William Morris)等艺术家更加偏爱技术创新和形式新颖。新艺术运动试图将艺术融合进生活的所有侧面,从物质的家具到家中的装饰物品再到建筑物;建立在艺术与日常生活相融合的艺术哲学之上。1900年在巴黎世界博览会大获成功之后,这一趋势继续流行且营销了不少艺术家以及装饰艺术运动。新艺术运动的继承者在次世界大战之后依然层出不穷。所以说新艺术运动时装饰艺术“文艺复兴”的核心,一点都不为过。

Art Deco style was established on the ashes of a disappeared world, the one from before the First World War, and on the foundation stone of a world yet to become, opened to the most undisclosed promises. Forgetting herself in the whirl of Jazz Age and the euphoria of the “Années Folles”, the Gar?onne with her linear shape reflects the architectural style of Art Deco: to the rounded curves succeed the simple and plain androgynous straight line… Architecture, painting, furniture and sculpture, dissected by the author, proclaim the druthers for sharp lines and broken angles. Although ephemeral, this movement keeps on influencing contemporary design.
