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.

评分摘录并体会既是学习,也是刺激。 关于小——我们拜服我们敬佩之物,而喜爱向我们拜服之物。前者为崇高,后者寓于小。“又大又美”极少这样说,“又大又丑”十分常用。简言之,崇高与美丽基础差异极大,两者很难并见同一物体,两者若要并存,一定要减少其中之一对我们激情的影...
评分起初看得出发点,是为了学着欣赏那些伟大艺术家流传下的不朽作品。 那些油画,雕塑,国画,音乐为什么历百年仍让人着迷? 这书有几个好: 一是铜版纸彩印,很多经典作品图稿,细观可得皮毛感受;但缺点就是没有针对每幅作品的赏析介绍。 二作者知识渊博旁征博引蔚为壮观,的确...
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。
