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.
Umberto Eco is the author of four bestselling novels, The Name of The Rose, Foucault's Pendulum, The Island of The Day Before and, most recently, Baudolino. His collections of essays include Five Moral Pieces, Kant and the Platypus, Serendipities, Travels In Hyperreality, and How To Travel With a Salmon and Other Essays. A Professor of Semiotics at the University of Bologna, Umberto Eco lives in Italy.
《美的历史》先写于《丑的历史》,但为满足我个人的猎奇心理,先看的《丑的历史》。《美的历史》相较于《丑的历史》,材料更为充足,文风更加严肃,作者的主观情感降为零,是一本非常冷峻的史书。而主题“美”,也比“丑”,更为受到正统和大众的关注,因此无论是流派,还是作...
評分我是看了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。
評分Eco知识渊博,生性好引,书中颇多原文。唯中文版译自英文版,而英文版又译自意大利文版。岂料原文各国文字混杂,不拘泥意文一种,原文至中文,其中转折,可谓重峦叠嶂,译笔若失之毫厘,则差之千里也。 38页上将普里阿摩斯译成普里安尚情有可原,毕竟其名不显,但281页引用亚...
評分起初看得出发点,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...
評分平心而论,其实书本身的内容还是不错的,但是翻译很有问题,一是没有把书本身的几条主线用统一的语言反复强化,让读者更容易抓住书的主要内容;二是作为一本半科普的书,语言完全没考虑到读者群体,很晦涩;三是有部分人名画作等翻译没有遵循常规翻法。 我自己觉得这本书有几条...
