British born painter

British painter David Hockney, well known for his cool and lovely paintings of California pools, has taken on the new role of detective. For two years Hockney seriously investigated the painting techniques of the old masters, and like any admirable sleuth, compiled substantial evidence to support his revolutionary theory. Secret Knowledge is the fruit of this labor, an exhaustive treatise in pictures revealing clues that some of the world's most famous painters, Ingres, Velázquez, Caravaggio (just to mention a few) utilized optics and lenses in creating their masterpieces. Hockney's fascination with the subject is contagious, and the book feels almost like a game with each analysis a "How'd they do that?" instead of a whodunit. While some may find the technical revelation a disappointment in terms of the idea of genius, Hockney is quick to point out that the use of optics does not diminish the immensity of artistic achievement. He reminds the reader that a tool is just a tool, and it is still the artist's hand and creative vision that produce a work of art. (296 pages, 460 illustrations, 402 in color.) --J.P. Cohen --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

給兩星,是因為書壓根不值這個價,韆萬彆買,200塊買來的一本銅闆紙印刷很精美的書,從頭到尾作者隻想說那些畫的惟妙惟肖,真的跟照片一樣的畫,是藉助光學儀器的。 然後作者一路捕風捉影,湊足證據,我好像能看到作者哈哈的笑著,說,你看,這幫畫畫的作弊被我捉住咯。 看到最...
評分這本書解決瞭我很多疑惑和自身問題所在,①並非是單純的透視不準和景深淺的問題,以及②解釋瞭為什麼我的興趣與偏愛從早年卡拉瓦喬式轉嚮魯本斯、弗洛伊德,還有③上第一節美術課就發現用手機拍攝靜物對著照片打形會更容易而不用,堅持用裸眼觀測的潛意識所在。 首先,大衛作...
評分James Elkins談瞭霍剋尼數年前同各位學者們一起參加的研討會(他本人也在場)。以及這本書為什麼會這麼受到關注。 (草譯:在此之前我也再吐槽一句,藝術傢用科學技術說真的不是新聞,我還想讓大傢提起注意從14世紀開始藝術傢們就用小型蠟像雕塑做造型,纔能完成臨摹、構圖、...
評分神作。縱使油畫被稱為西畫,這些西方的大師也沒有對傳統理所應當的接受,而是用質疑和身體力行的方式來驗證。可惜的是中國的老師們隻會告訴學生去練好基本功。藝術的價值不僅僅在於視覺呈現的效果,是否閤理,是否自然,是否有意思?透鏡的使用本身無可厚非,問題是使用的方法...
評分古典繪畫采用投影的方式,在霍剋尼之前就有很多人提到過瞭。文字很少,且原創性不高,因為圖多,讀起來倒也輕鬆有趣。這本書的印刷一般吧,200買貴瞭,100左右還可以考慮。如果真的對古典技法感興趣的話,還是應該買本文字更加翔實的。
