评分我很少推荐课本,但确实不错。
评分某些地方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

Simon Schama is University Professor of Art History and History at Columbia University in New York. His award-winning books include The American Future: A History; Rough Crossings; The Power of Art; The Embarrassment of Riches: An Interpretation of Dutch Culture in the Golden Age; Citizens: A Chronicle of the French Revolution; Dead Certainties (Unwarranted Speculations); Landscape and Memory; Rembrandt's Eyes; and the History of Britain trilogy. He has written and presented forty television documentary films for the BBC, PBS, and The History Channel—including the Emmy-winning Power of Art—on subjects that range from John Donne to Tolstoy.
"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?'"
本身不是一个对艺术特别追求的人,无意中在朋友家一起看了BBC纪录片版的《艺术的力量》,觉得视角很独特,讲述了很多艺术家背后不为人所熟悉的故事,抱着听故事的心态看了,过程中却被深深的震撼与吸引了,这也就构成了我买这本书的契机,希望能从书本之中再次领略到当初的那份...
评分装帧很精美,从装帧到内容这本书还是不错的,让你了解到不一样的艺术家及画作背后的故事,引用西蒙的话“画廊中的安静与敬畏氛围会欺骗你,让你相信那些艺术杰作都彬彬有礼;一切景象都温和、迷人又令人沉醉,可事实上,他们都是些暴徒。残忍、狡诈,最杰出的画作就这样一把夹...
评分长假最后一本,现在只看了一半,希望今天能看完。这本书有一部同名的纪录片,很赞,当年我把那部纪录片来来回回看了两遍,无他,因为涵盖了我最喜欢的卡拉瓦乔、伦布朗以及透纳。原以为同名的书是纪录片的文字记录,看了却发现略有不同,视频的方式更侧重于跌宕起伏的情节铺垫...
评分读这本书的感觉不仅是被艺术作品吸引,更吸引我的是因为西蒙选择的对象都是那么的富有争议,这些艺术家原本可以选择另一种更轻松更优渥的生活,但他们不约而同的走上了这条自己坚持的道路,我想这些艺术家本身也就很好的解读了何为艺术的力量吧
评分特别喜欢梵高的话,短而粗的斑纹,非常的具有冲击力而且直白,鲜活的就像刚刚被画家创作出来一样,他画笔下肮脏的指甲、花香、头发和皮肤清晰可感的触感,都在让我们感受到梵高是在用绘画感触生命,用充满生命力的饱满情绪将它点亮,那瞬间的光亮便是永恒
