The Story of Art

Sir Ernst Hans Josef Gombrich, OM, CBE (30 March 1909 – 3 November 2001) was an Austrian-born art historian who became a naturalized British citizen in 1947.[1] He spent most of his working life in the United Kingdom. He is the author of many works of cultural history and art history, including The Story of Art, a book widely regarded as one of the most accessible introductions to the visual arts.

BiographyThe son of Karl Gombrich and Leonie Hock, Gombrich was born in Vienna, Austria-Hungary, into an assimilated bourgeois family of Jewish origin who were part of a sophisticated social and musical milieu. His father was a lawyer and former classmate of Hugo von Hofmannsthal and his mother was distinguished pianist who graduated from the Vienna Conservatoire with the School's Medal of Distinction. At the Conservatoire she was a pupil of, amongst others, Anton Bruckner. However, rather than follow a career as a concert pianist (which would have been difficult to combine with her family life in this period) she became an assistant of Theodor Leschetizky. She also knew Arnold Schoenberg, Gustav Mahler, Hugo Wolf and Johannes Brahms [3]. Rudolf Serkin was a close family friend. Adolf Busch and members of the Busch Quartet regularly met and played in the family home. Throughout his life Gombrich maintained a deep love and knowledge of classical music. He was a competent cellist and in later life at home in London regularly played the chamber music of Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven and others with his wife and elder sister Dea Forsdyke, a concert violinist.

Gombrich was educated at Theresianum Secondary School and at Vienna University before coming to Britain in 1936, where he took up a post as a research assistant at the Warburg Institute, University of London. In 1936, he married Ilse Heller, a pupil of his mother, and herself an accomplished pianist. Their only child, Richard, went on to become a noted Indologist and scholar of Buddhism, acting as the Boden Professor of Sanskrit at Oxford University from 1976 to 2004.

During World War II, Gombrich worked for the BBC World Service, monitoring German radio broadcasts. When in 1945 an upcoming announcement was prefaced by a Bruckner symphony written for Wagner's death, Gombrich guessed correctly that Hitler was dead and promptly broke the news to Churchill. He returned to the Warburg Institute in November 1945, where he became Senior Research Fellow (1946), Lecturer (1948), Reader (1954), and eventually Professor of the History of the Classical Tradition and director of the institute (1959–72). He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 1960, made CBE in 1966, knighted in 1972, and appointed a member of the Order of Merit in 1988. He was the recipient of numerous additional honours, including Goethe Prize 1994 and Balzan Prize in 1985 for History of Western Art.

Gombrich was close to a number of Austrian émigrés who fled to the West prior to the Anschluss, among them Karl Popper (to whom he was especially close), Friedrich Hayek and Max Perutz. He was instrumental in bringing to publication Popper's magnum opus The Open Society and Its Enemies. Each had known the other only fleetingly in Vienna, as Gombrich's father served his law apprenticeship with Popper's father. They became lifelong friends in exile.

[edit] WorkGombrich's first book, and the only one he did not write in English, was Eine kurze Weltgeschichte für junge Leser (A short history of the world for young readers), published in Germany in 1936. It was very popular and translated into several languages, but was not available in English until 2005, when a translation of a revised edition was published as A Little History of the World. He did most of this translation and revision himself, and it was completed by his long-time assistant and secretary Caroline Mustill and his granddaughter Leonie Gombrich after his death [4].

The Story of Art, first published in 1950 and currently in its 16th edition, is widely regarded as one of the most accessible introductions to the history of visual arts. Originally intended for adolescent readers, it has sold millions of copies and been translated into more than 30 languages.

Other major publications include Art and Illusion (1960), regarded by critics to be his most influential and far-reaching work, and the essays gathered in Meditations on a Hobby Horse (1963) and The Image and the Eye (1981). Other important books are Aby Warburg: An Intellectual Biography (1970), The Sense of Order (1979) and The Preference for the Primitive (posthumously in 2002). The complete list of his publications, E.H. Gombrich: A Bibliography, was published by Joseph Burney Trapp in 2000.

具體描述

讀後感

評分

爱好美丽的题材也爱好平淡的。 首先理解手法,然后才是感情。 逼真可美,粗略也可美。 不要随意指责画家画得不正确。 摒弃陋习和偏见,接受新画法。 艺术创作都有特定场合和目的。 美和观念曾经不是艺术家的考虑。 而是努力地追求合适的平衡。 有一颗赤子之心,捕捉每个暗示,...  

評分

当一件艺术品摆在我的面前时,我当如何看待它。这是作者写作此书的一个目的,同时也是我在阅读的过程中一直在思考的一个问题。 如果有人指着一幅“光怪陆离”的油画告诉我,这出自一个当代大师的手笔。我就会显得手足无措,甚至有些面红耳赤。看着那些综合交错的线条与纷繁复...

評分

比较了李春的《西方美术史》教程和德比奇等人著的《西方艺术史》,就是贡布里希给我的收获最大。也难怪会有出到十六版,要不是他在1995年过世,我们还会看到他最新的补记呢。 李春的是典型美院式的教材,用马克思主义的唯物史观一一分析了艺术流派和艺术家产生的社会历史条件,...  

評分

在我到今天为止的阅读过程中,有三本书是无论如何都绝不愿意错过的,它们分别是罗素的西方哲学史,曼昆的经济学原理,和贡布里希的艺术的故事。 (虽然真的这样一本正经的把这三本没什么联系的书排列在一起让我觉得自己有点傻气)但对一个,算不上聪明,又懒,又缺乏基础知识...  

評分

前段时间想看看关于艺术方面的书,因为不是专业人士所以希望能找一本图文并茂,描述通俗易懂但又不是很低幼的书,这本艺术的故事很对我的胃口。 在买书之前我看了前几年大家对这本书的评论,包括桃子依旧与大家互动的一些回复,看得出大家对这本书的感情...... 我还去了书店看...

中文版看瞭無數遍,這本在national gallery買的時候隨便翻瞭翻,抱著書齣門右拐偶遇老根,中間省略幾十字,總之老根開過光的,裱起來瞭

讀瞭快一年瞭,最近買瞭新版本,每天翻幾頁,都是很漲姿勢的~

印刷好贊!可惜詞匯量太傷人……

入門讀很好,有趣。從學美術史的角度說結構稍微有點鬆散。欣賞貢布裏希讀畫的包容。

內容就不說瞭,說說這個版本。這個版本太值瞭!去書店翻過pocket版,這個比pocket版大很多,全銅版紙印刷,字體大小極舒適,插圖也很大,光翻著都讓人喜歡得不得瞭。就是書比較厚重,不可能隨便帶著到處走,現在丟在床頭,沒事兒或沒彆的書看就隨手翻兩頁。
