This book is the follow up to the previous volume On Beauty. Apparently beauty and ugliness are concepts that imply each other, and by ugliness we usually mean the opposite of beauty, so all we need do is define the first to understand the nature of the second. But the various manifestations of ugliness over the centuries are richer and more unpredictable than is commonly thought. The anthological quotations and the extraordinary illustrations in this book lead us on a surprising journey among the nightmares, terrors, and loves of almost three thousand years, where acts of rejection go hand in hand with touching gestures of compassion, and the rejection of deformity is accompanied by decadent ecstasies over the most seductive violations of all classical canons. Among demons, madmen, horrible enemies, and disquieting presences, among horrid abysses and deformities that verge on the sublime, among freaks and the living dead, we discover a vast and often unsuspected iconographic vein. So much so that, on gradually encountering in these pages the ugliness of nature, spiritual ugliness, asymmetry, disharmony, disfigurement, and the succession of things sordid, weak, vile, banal, random, arbitrary, coarse, repugnant, clumsy, horrendous, vacuous, nauseating, criminal, spectral, witchlike, satanic, repellent, disgusting, unpleasant, grotesque, abominable, odious, crude, foul, dirty, obscene, frightening, abject, monstrous, hair-raising, ugly, terrible, terrifying, revolting, repulsive, loathsome, fetid, ignoble, awkward, ghastly and indecent, the first foreign publisher to see this book exclaimed: ‘How beautiful ugliness is!’
丑有很多种,因为丑而“自挂东南枝”的人却很少,“东施效颦而可厌,无盐刻画以难堪,此女之丑者。”东施虽丑,却冥冥中保了命。 曹雪芹有诗言:“一代倾城逐浪花,吴宫空自忆儿家。效颦莫笑东村女,头白西边尚浣纱。” 王昭君很美,因为不肯花钱给宫廷画师毛延寿P图,结果画了...
评分基本靠看图。旁征博引扎实有趣。比如: “你能为我解释吗,我们大便的时候,为什么经常端详我们的排泄物?”伊索解释说:“从前有个国王的儿子,他因为生活安逸又奢华,大多时间坐在那里大便。有一回,他坐在那里,忘了自己在做什么,坐太久,把他的常识也给拉掉了。从那天起,...
评分 评分(与《华商报》编辑我老妹的初次合作) 意大利学者翁贝托•艾柯在撰写他那本惊艳之作《美的历史》时,就专门设立了单章《怪物之美》来释解美与丑的辨证关系:“所有文化皆有其美的观念,亦有其丑的观念……在西方人眼中,其他文化的拜物与面具是可怖、畸形之物,当地人则可...
