《隋唐五代工艺美术史》内容简介：隋唐五代的历史大约400年，其核心是唐。这不仅因为有唐一代时间居中，且绵延近300年。更重要的是，从工艺美术考察，唐代的成就最辉煌、影响更深远，而隋可视为唐前期的酝酿，五代该看作唐后期的延续。因此，《隋唐五代工艺美术史》的讨论将以唐代为中心。
所谓唐前期是指初唐和盛唐，唐后期则指中唐和晚唐。风云变幻的大唐史事历来引人关注，为做出更加细致地解说，将唐代分为初、盛、中、晚已成史家通例，不过，如何界说却因关注对象的区别、认识评价的差异而人言人殊。前期，所指为隋和初唐、盛唐，后期，所指为中唐、晚唐和五代。
同前期与后期的工艺美术差异相比，初唐与盛唐、中唐与晚唐的区别无疑有些模糊，不过，依然可以辨识。它们的划分均以君王统治的起讫为界断，主流工艺美术也是封建政治的物质体现，而君王则是封建政治的代表，他们的好恶总要左右工艺美术的走向。至于《隋唐五代工艺美术史》选择的两位君王，对工艺美术，都有作为。武后临朝是盛唐的开端，武氏革命，雷厉风行，在那众多的改易中，也包含了服色、绣文等重要的工艺美术内容，并且，还有天枢、九鼎等令人瞠目的特大型的工艺造作。文宗践阼是晚唐的启始，这位受制于宦官的短命天子虽乏帝王之威，却慕帝王之道，其崇俭抑奢、改易品官常服花纹等种种举措也令工艺美术的面貌多少改观。

《音乐图像学与云南民族音乐图像研究》从以下五个方面对云南民族音乐图像展开了具体的探讨：第一，比较全面系统地搜集和整理了自远古至清代云南各民族丰富的音乐图像资源，并结合书面记载对这些音乐图像资源进行了认真的梳理和分类。第二，对云南民族音乐图像乐舞文化进行了分期，勾画出云南民族音乐图像的发展脉络，揭示不同时期云南民族音乐图像及其所反映的音乐舞蹈的特征。云南历史上不同时期都遗留有大量音乐图像资料，作者参考了前人对清代以前云南艺术历史的分期，以典型的音乐图像载体形式作为分期标准，把清代以前的云南民族音乐图像乐舞文化分为相对独立的五个时期，分别叙述各个时期云南民族音乐图像的主要内容，探寻音乐图像与相关时代各民族雕刻绘画、音乐舞蹈之间的联系，概括不同时期云南民族音乐图像的典型特征，展现云南民族音乐图像及其所反映的相关民族音乐舞蹈文化的历史演变过程。第三，进行了云南民族音乐图像的典型个案研究。首先，描述云南民族音乐图像的形式要素和内容，分析其刻画的音乐舞蹈类别、表演时间和场景。进而探讨其创作意图、艺术家个性、所属文化背景、所体现的文化习俗，追溯其形式因素的本原、与现实的联系等要素，确定其本质含意，解读和阐释其文化学、艺术史和美学意蕴，说明有关民族史、文化学与艺术史的问题。第四，对云南有代表性的少数民族——白、藏、傣、纳西族的音乐图像进行深入研究。通过整体的系统研究，结合典型个案分析，阐释云南有代表性的少数民族的音乐图像所蕴涵或象征的神话、巫术、民族历史、社会环境、文化特征、艺术传统、宗教情结、审美心理等意蕴，概括各少数民族音乐图像的不同特点，以开拓云南民族音乐图像研究，为探索云南民族音乐图像研究的理论做必要的准备。第五，对云南民族音乐图像研究进行初步的理论概括。通过对不同时期、不同民族、不同载体音乐图像的研究，作者不仅归纳出云南民族音乐图像的主要特点、音乐本体特征、文化意蕴，而且从中引申出对保护和开发云南民族音乐图像的思考、对文化艺术交流的启示，指出云南民族音乐图像研究的价值意义以及发展中国音乐图像研究的前景。最后，作者对音乐图像研究本身进行了理论概括，包括音乐图像的本质、音乐图像的表现性以及音乐图像研究应注意的问题。

Serving as both an introduction to fifteenth-century Italian painting and as a text on how to interpret social history from the style of pictures in a given historical period, this new edition to Baxandall's pre-eminent scholarly volume examines early Renaissance painting, and explains how the style of painting in any society reflects the visual skills and habits that evolve out of daily life. Renaissance painting, for example, mirrors the experience of such activities as preaching, dancing, and gauging barrels. The volume includes discussions of a wide variety of painters, including Filippo Lippi, Fra Angelico, Stefano di Giovanni, Sandro Botticelli, Masaccio, Luca Signorelli, Boccaccio, and countless others. Baxandall also defines and illustrates sixteen concepts used by a contemporary critic of painting, thereby assembling the basic equipment needed to explore fifteenth-century art.
This new second edition includes an appendix that lists the original Latin and Italian texts referred to throughout the book, providing the reader with all the relevant, authentic sources. It also contains an updated bibliography and a new reproduction of a recently restored painting which replaces the original.

In this companion volume to "Iconology", the author extends his investigation to pictures - the concrete, representational objects in which images appear. Although we have many words about pictures, Mitchell notes that we do not yet have a satisfactory theory of them. What we have is a variety of disciplines - semiotics, philosophical inquiries into representation, new departures in art history, studies in mass media - that attempt to converge on the problem of pictorial representation and visual culture. Identifying the problems inherent in the attempt to master visual representation with verbal discourse, Mitchell proposes instead to "picture theory." He looks at the way pictures function in theories about culture, consciousness, and representation, and at theory itself as a form of picturing. What precisely, he asks, are pictures (and theories about pictures) doing now , in the late 20th century, when the power of the visual is said to be greater than ever before, and the "pictorial turn" supplants the "linguistic turn" in the study of culture? Focusing on Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing", Oliver Stone's "JFK", and television coverage of the Gulf War, he examines the capacity of visual images to awaken or stifle public debate, collective emotion, and political violence. An "applied iconology," this volume by one of America's leading theorists of visual representation offers an account of the interplay between the visible and the readable across the culture, from literature to visual art to the mass media.

什么是美？一个古老而烦难的问题，从古至今都从不缺少思想的巨人为之争辩不已。20世纪艺术批评巨匠克莱门特·格林伯格，在一个艺术与生活含混不清的时代里重新回到康德，以晓畅而通俗的语言参与美学大师的论争。
本书收录了格林伯格未曾结集的文章和1971年本宁顿学院系列研讨会演讲稿 ，反映了他对艺术趣味与品质的最广泛见解。他坚持认为，尽管现代艺术家通过生产一些如此跳脱常理以至于无法被评价的艺术品来奋力逃避趣味的审判，但趣味仍然是不可抗拒的。他坚守艺术品质的标准，并认为去探寻一种媒介最具有挑战性的要求是艺术家的责任，对此进行鉴别则是批评家的责任，而这两者都是伟大艺术的必备条件。他讨论审美体验中期待和惊奇之间的相互作用，也讨论伟大艺术所带来的激动心情。《自制美学》使得我们可以审视批评家的心理是如何运作的，同时也会给他充满争议但又影响深远的理论提供辩护（时不时还会给予反思）。查尔斯·哈里森的序言介绍了《自制美学》的写作背景——格林伯格的艺术批评及20世纪批评的演变。

本书旨在向那些没有或者没有多少文科背景的学生介绍人文学带给我们的喜悦。一直以来，我们的目标就是交流我们对于作为心智与情感体验的人文学所怀有的热情。学生藉由学习审慎的思考，以及对于创造性艺术的认知，也将会更好地了解自身。
本书叙述历史上人文学取得的杰出成就。尽管我们的方法是主题式，而不是编年史式的，但是历史语境仍然作为了解特定作品发挥着，并将继续发挥着重要的作用。我们感激过去了所取得的成就，这是因为我们非常相近的人过去并存在过，他们说过的话和做过的事可以帮助我们了解今天。我们会继续发现新的原因去体验喜悦，并在过去的、现在的、西方的、非西方的、男人的、女人的，以及在不同种族文化的作品中所体现出的感受力中得到的激励。

The first UK film biography of the world-renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), whose print The Great Wave is as globally famous as Leonardo's Mona Lisa. With Andy Serkis reading the voice of Hokusai, the film features artists David Hockney and Maggi Hambling, and passionate scholars who study, admire and venerate this great Japanese master.
The film focuses on Hokusai's work, life and times in the great, bustling metropolis of Edo, now modern Tokyo. Using extraordinary close-ups and pioneering 8K Ultra HD video technology, Hokusai's prints and paintings are examined by world experts. In the process they reveal new interpretations of famous works and convey the full extent of Hokusai's extraordinary achievement as a great world artist.
Hokusai spent his life studying and celebrating our common humanity as well as deeply exploring the natural and spiritual worlds, using the famous volcano Mount Fuji as a protective presence and potential source of immortality. He knew much personal tragedy, was struck by lightning and lived for years in poverty, but never gave up his constant striving for perfection in his art. Hokusai influenced Monet, Van Gogh and other Impressionists, is the father of manga and has his own Great Wave emoji.

沃林格的这部早期著作是从情致的反命题出发的，抽象与移情的对峙构成了全书的结构，全书的论点和框架均由这个对峙而来。抽象是一个至上的艺术律令，沃林格首先是单纯作为移情的对立面而否定性地去界定这个概念的。至于移情这个概念，沃林格则是从立普斯的美学中吸收而来的，但他与立普斯不同 ，他不认为移情是我们面对对象的审美态度以之为前提条件并始终以其为特征的普遍原则，他更多地是把移情描述为这样一种审美态度，这种审美态度仅仅适用于古希腊罗马时期、文艺复兴时期，以及一切以之为传统的艺术作品和面对这种艺术作品的观赏者的态度，因而我们可以进一步推断，这种极具人性意味的向自然的移情并不是天生自在的，而是一种历史的产物，而且，尤其是由艺术所催发出的东西。
◎通过本书，读者可以触及到一个纲领性的核心，这不仅是艺术学和美学方面的核心，而且也是艺术史和艺术批评方面的核心。
◎出版之后短短十几年内，该书不断得到重新再版和修订，这本著作成了表现主义时代最杰出的艺术学文献。

This extraordinary catalogue accompanies a major traveling exhibition of 128 works of bronze, jade, and clay dating from the thirteenth century B.C. to the second century A.D. The majority of these stunningly sophisticated works of art--among the most unusual and spectacular produced anywhere in the ancient world--all come from a startling archaeological discovery made just fourteen years ago at the previously unknown site of Sanxingdui in Sichuan province. The discovery of this Bronze Age civilization fundamentally changes our understanding of Chinese history. Representing fifteen hundred years of cultural production, these striking objects are extraordinarily varied, ranging from a monumental standing figure and an almost life-size bronze horse to ritual vessels, masks, and bronze heads of fantastic-looking supernatural beings, finely honed jade knives and ritual blades, and marvelous clay statuettes. Most have never before been seen in the United States. The exhibition and catalogue represent a unique international effort to continue the study of ancient Sichuan. Under the leadership of Robert Bagley, an international team of scholars contributes eight essays on the archaeological discoveries at Sanxingdui, the art historical importance of these objects, and the new history of ancient China they tell. Contributors are Michle Pirazzoli-t'Serstevens, Jessica Rawson, Lothar von Falkenhausen, Alain Thote, Jenny F. So, Michael Nylan, and the Seattle Art Museum's Curator of Chinese Art, Jay Xu. In addition to the essays, there are individual entries for each object, nearly all of which have been newly photographed for this publication. Ancient Sichuan contributes to a revolutionary change in perceptions of ancient Chinese civilization, providing an unprecedented opportunity to explore the art, material culture, and spiritual life of ancient China. EXHIBITION SCHEDULE: Seattle Art Museum, Seattle May-August 2001 Kimbell Museum of Art, Fort Worth September 2001-January 2002 Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York March-June 2002 Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto August-November 2002

In this collection of essays, five previously published and three new in this volume, a western historian of Chinese art examines the received ideas of art history from the vantage point of another culture. On the premise that what we feel a need to explain and how we explain it alike depend on what we assume to be normal, the essays all adopt a comparative approach. Whatever body of material is taken as case study-Gothic churches, Egyptian reliefs, Chinese bronzes, insular gospel manuscripts-the problems addressed are of broad general relevance to the discipline. They include the nature of art history's styles and periods, iconography as explanation, the rationale for art historical description, technical studies and the artistic imagination, and histories of representation. Clear and accessible, this book will interest anyone concerned with the conduct of art historical scholarship and the origins and consequences of its practices.
"Since the late 1970s, the field of art history has been characterized by self-scrutiny that has, ironically, too often encouraged methodological self-satisfaction; these essays, in contrast, permit no intellectual complacency. The author does not hesitate to challenge fundamental concepts, principles, and practices, both those that have been explicitly articulated and those that have gone unquestioned. The criticisms he offers are neither trivial nor self-serving; they are often blunt, but they are justified. His book will engage all historians of art-professionals and advanced students-who are interested in the intellectual foundations of our discipline as well as scholars whose work involves more general intellectual history."
