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.

帶著巨大的興趣看完瞭霍剋尼的這本書,不過我想先從其他地方說起。 美國自然的特性,特彆是它的巨大、未經耕作的原始麵貌,以及毫不做作的樣子,翻新瞭歐洲對自然的詮釋。在這些自然景觀裏是否存在印第安人的蹤影?梭羅從那些古老足跡,以及耕作天地時殘留在地麵上的餘跡提及...
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...
評分大衛霍剋尼,英國著名藝術傢,與佛洛伊德培根是親密夥伴,本書我覺得非常值得購買讀,十四五世紀是偉大的世紀,大衛對古典藝術的解讀讓人在討論古典藝術時改變瞭討論基礎,這是非常瞭不起的行為,就憑這一點,足以嚮他緻敬。
評分給兩星,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...
