Umberto Eco is the author of four bestselling novels, The Name of The Rose, Foucault's Pendulum, The Island of The Day Before and, most recently, Baudolino. His collections of essays include Five Moral Pieces, Kant and the Platypus, Serendipities, Travels In Hyperreality, and How To Travel With a Salmon and Other Essays. A Professor of Semiotics at the University of Bologna, Umberto Eco lives in Italy.
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.
《美的历史》先写于《丑的历史》,但为满足我个人的猎奇心理,先看的《丑的历史》。《美的历史》相较于《丑的历史》,材料更为充足,文风更加严肃,作者的主观情感降为零,是一本非常冷峻的史书。而主题“美”,也比“丑”,更为受到正统和大众的关注,因此无论是流派,还是作...
评分阐述美的观念从古希腊到现代。拿一个世纪拉开与距离来看,有一个区别于上世代的不连贯的特征,那就是这个时代的“美”。 如作者导论所言“美的观念,千汇万状,在这些变化之上,可能有某种施诸百世百世万族皆准的规则,本书并不期望不计代价地搜寻这些规则,我们不做此意...
评分我都上传到博客了http://booktown.blogbus.com/logs/39421980.html喜欢的朋友自己下吧。
评分我肯定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...
评分我是看了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。
