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.
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.
与刚刚读完的《少有人看见的美》相比,是风格迥异的,但并不妨碍她成为一本美丽的书。 开始读之前,特意了解了作者和译者,弗洛索瓦丝.芭布-高尔(这名字真长),法国艺术史教授,她排斥精英主义,致力于为大众开启通往绘画艺术史之门,写本书的目的,也是为了拉近艺术...
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...
评分专门下载豆瓣,就是来吐槽翻译的。这翻译的是什么?翻译先生自己能看懂吗?有时句子中莫名出现前文从未提到的主语、有时前后主语宾语内容不搭、有时逻辑不通、还有时,句子本身就有语病……看得我太累了????个人认为,译者是不是可以多了解一些艺术史,再通读一遍全书,把内容...
评分 评分抽象画还是理解不了,作者的解说如同呓语,恕我愚钝,无法理解。理解西方的画作,还是要了解西方的文化(历史、宗教等)以及画家的个人经历,作画的时代背景、时间、地点、委托方的情况。历史宗教画充满隐喻、暗示、代指的元素。历史宗教题材画曾是画家最愿意的作画题材,报酬...
