这本书的书名本身就是一个值得反思的问题——艺术的力量。 在这之前我已记不得有多少次遇到过类似的问题,比如艺术有何用?文学有何用?人文科学的阅读有何用?哲学书籍有何用? 我回答可以提高文化素养,然而这对实用主义,金钱至上的朋友来说似乎太虚化了。...
评分 评分在读ing,6折买到,16开,纸张和图片都不错,总体性价比可以。 和纪录片并不完全相同,书的内容、分析应该是更为详细。 但看到错字错句时还是如眼中进沙: 第26页:“他才不会描绘那种喜剧式的吵吵闹闹的人群,才目及他刻画很少几个人物,将其画得如真人大小......” ‘第78页...
评分总体还行,印刷色彩细节还是可以的,就是有点反光。边看边用小日历记一下每一章的简单感受几个字,最后发现和人家的封面风格还挺配呢,都红红,留存。 卡拉瓦乔和贝尼尼的两章最精彩,文字有力也比较流畅。当然首先是人家的作品有力量。 梵高和毕加索的也还行。觉得伦勃朗和透...

"Great art has dreadful manners," Simon Schama observes wryly at the start of his epic and explosive exploration of the power, and whole point, of art. "The hushed reverence of the gallery can fool you into believing masterpieces are polite things; visions that soothe, charm and beguile, but actually they are thugs. Merciless and wily, the greatest paintings grab you in a headlock, rough up your composure, and then proceed in short order to re-arrange your sense of reality. . . ."
With the same disarming force, The Power of Art propels us on an eye-opening, breathtaking odyssey, zooming in on eight extraordinary masterpieces, from Caravaggio's David and Goliath to Picasso's Guernica. Jolting us far from the comfort zone of the hushed art gallery, Schama closes in on intense make-or-break turning points in the lives of eight great artists who, under extreme stress, created something unprecedented, altering the course of art forever.
The embattled heroes—Caravaggio, Bernini, Rembrandt, David, Turner, Van Gogh, Picasso and Rothko—each in his own resolute way, faced crisis with steadfast defiance, pitting passion and conviction against scorn and short-sightedness. The masterpieces they created challenged convention, shattered complacency, shifted awareness and changed the way we look at the world.
With vivid storytelling and powerfully evocative descriptive passages, Schama explores the dynamic personalities of the artists and the spirit of the times they lived through, capturing the flamboyant theatre of bourgeois life in Amsterdam, the passion and paranoia of Revolutionary Paris, and the carnage and pathos of Civil War Spain.
Most compelling of all, The Power of Art traces the extraordinary evolution of eight "eye-popping" world-class works of art. Created in a bolt of illumination, such works "tell us something about how the world is, how it is to be inside our skins, that no more prosaic source of wisdom can deliver. And when they do that, they answer, irrefutably and majestically, the nagging question of every reluctant art-conscript . . . 'OK, OK, but what's art really for?'"
某些地方Simon Schama的看法是有偏颇的,然而既然艺术的成就在于观点和角度,那么艺术评论就是关于观点之观点,关于角度之角度, 无法评论正确与否. 就表达技巧和感染力而言, 算是Simon Schama数十年经验的完美表现鸟
评分我很少推荐课本,但确实不错。
