How to Look at a Painting pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Which of us, when finding ourselves in the presence of a painting, has not sensed that we lack the keys to decipher it? We feel an emotional response, but the work still seems to evade our understanding.
Francoise Barbe-Gall combines a nuanced understanding of the way viewers respond to paintings with a rich knowledge of their context and circumstances of their creation. The result is like a tour of a dazzlingly eclectic museum in the company of a gentle yet authoritative guide.
She takes as her point of departure the impressions that we all feel when confronted by a canvas and takes us on a voyage of discovery fired by her own passionate enthusiasm for the subject. What is the painting’s relationship with the real world? Has the artist idealized nature, or distorted it? Did they want to shock the viewer, or provide consolation? With a clear approach and straightforward yet subtle analysis, the meaning of each work slowly becomes clear.
From Raphael’s penetrating character study of Castiglione, through Hopper’s cinematic take on the wee small hours of the morning Barbe-Gall begins by covering a number of ostensibly realistic works, made from the stuff of everyday life. Going in quite the other direction, she looks at the way paintings can express moments of heightened reality, from the perfection of Boticelli’s Primavera to the arresting glance of Vermeer’s girl with the Pearl Earring. She discusses paintings that distort the visible world (Parmigianino’s Madonna with an improbably long neck to Dali’s melting clocks) and those that sow confusion to make us more vigilant and pay closer attention to the real world (Cezanne’s depiction of a forest glade, or a mysterious fifteenth century altarpiece). Questions of history, style, iconography and composition are not neglected and are dealt in context of the paintings she discusses.
Francoise Barbe-Gall studied history of art at the Sorbonne and also at the Ecole du Louvre, where she now teaches. She also directs an association called CORETA (Comment Regarder un Tableau), for whom she gives many lectures. She is regularly called upon to participate in management workshops, where her experience of analysing images in relation to publicity and marketing is called upon. Editions de l'Agenda de L'Empresa have published a collection of her articles, and she is the author of several articles on the work of the sculptor Tom Carr. She is the author of How to Talk to Children about Art and How to Understand a Painting, both published in English by Frances Lincoln.

评分艺术,有时候真是一个最好装腔作势的话题,就是门槛有点高,爬到一半摔下来也不是没可能。黄永玉就曾经讲过一个故事,他在卢浮宫亲眼看到夫妇俩指着伦勃朗的一幅老头像赞叹地说:“啊!蒙娜丽莎!” 当然,你会说,如何欣赏艺术,是一件私人的事。认识蒙娜丽莎的人那么多,非...
评分估计很多人都看过微博上那个很热的帖子:“一句话教你认出世界各种著名画家作品” “如果画上每个人都是受尽人世折磨脸而且全是黑森森的背景,不用说,一定是提香; 如果所有人都有个大屁股,那就是鲁本斯; 如果每个男人都画得跟个卷发的娘炮的话,那就是卡拉瓦乔了; 如果画...
评分谈点名画好不好 文/Sofia 莎士比亚说,一千个读者的眼中有一千个哈姆雷特。 某种程度上,艺术具有共同性。所以,莎翁那句话的含义从文学作品领域转换到艺术作品的领域里,也是行得通的。 一千个欣赏者的心中便有一千个蒙娜丽莎。有人欣赏蒙娜丽莎倾城倾国的微笑,有人却认为蒙...
评分这本书读起来就好像是一份下午茶的甜点。静下心来品尝,很美好的午后。 它结构是 case study 式的,所以确切来说是“如何看这几幅画”,不同于《如何阅读一本书》是明确的方法论式的。 这么看来,更适合下午茶时间了,高兴可以多看几幅,不高兴可以随时放下。 对于每一幅画,...
