Beauty is neither a history of art, nor a history of aesthetics but Umberto Eco draws on the histories of both these disciplines to define the ideas of beauty that have informed sensibilities from the classical world to modern times. In terms of form and style, Beauty has been conceived for a vast and diversified readership: taking in painting, sculpture, architecture, film, photography, the decorative arts, novels and poems, it offers a rich and intelligent panorama of this huge subject. It traces the philosophy of aesthetics through history and examines some of the many treatises that have sought to define it. Beauty is Umberto Eco at his most captivating and eclectic: we read not only of Botticelli and Michelangelo but of how the fashion of the 1960s owes much to ancient Egyptian dress, and how ancient Roman and eighteenth-century hairstyles have much in common. It makes the familiar new, and sheds a brilliant new light on the unfamiliar. Illustrated in full colour throughout and produced to the highest standards, Beauty is an indispensable book.

读后感

我是看了joyo的介绍买的，书很精致，但学究味很浓。要注意力集中才能好好地慢慢地看下去。精装书看着挺美，我倒更想要软皮装的多册薄书，这样可以躺床上慢慢欣赏。现在只能正经危坐地在书桌上看它了。也好，就当是美术赏析课的延伸吧。

刚开始翻看，之所以说翻看，是因为第一印象这是本图书。 图片真是精美，仅仅这个就算是值回票价了。 图像只有精制地复制，才能更准确地还原观感。我们到底看到的不是原画，但是那种建立在观看粗糙复制品基础上的感受，是多么地失真啊。精确的图像和粗糙的，两者有很大的区别，...  

我肯定Umberto Eco在艺术界、艺术史界是无名的。 举个例：在写到巴洛克时期时：作者文中一句：哥白尼与开普勒重新设计的苍穹下，天体之间的关系愈来愈复杂。他是不是想把此复杂和他认为巴洛克线条的繁复关联？把洛可可风格画家之一的 Watteau的《Pilgrimage to Cythera》与巴...
