Exploring the mysteries of the subconscious, this title deals with the grandfather of surrealism. In reaction to the 'narrow-mindedness' of his fellow artists, symbolist painter Odilon Redon (1840-1916) sought to open the door on the invisible. Art, according to the theories of the symbolist movement, should 'add to human beauty the nimbus of thought'. In his studio, Redon would dedicate his energies, like an alchemist, to the creation of his 'black pictures', those barely tangible charcoal drawings teeming with fantasy figures. Gradually, color took hold in his works and Redon applied it with a boldness and imagination that heralded the experimental approach of modernism and surrealism. Fallen angels and deformed monsters gave way to a completely different vision that was radiant and serene: the triumph of light over darkness. Every book in Taschen's "Basic Art Series" features: a detailed chronological summary of the artist's life and work, covering the cultural and historical importance of the artist; approximately 100 color illustrations with explanatory captions; and, a concise biography. This is the work of the great symbolist painter who was a forefather of surrealism.

这本书的语言风格极其古典,带有一种近乎巴洛克式的华丽感,大量的长句和复杂的从句结构,初读时确实有些挑战性,需要放慢语速,细细品味每一个词语的精确用义。它没有迎合现代快节奏阅读的习惯,反而坚持用一种近乎仪式性的方式展开叙事。比如,当描述一场盛大的庆典时,作者会花费三四页的篇幅,细致入微地描摹礼服的质地、乐器的音色、空气中弥漫的香料气味,以及旁观者眼中闪烁的光芒。这种冗长却又不拖沓的描写,反而营造出一种时间被拉伸、沉淀下来的历史厚重感。我发现自己不再是单纯地追逐情节,而是开始享受作者用文字搭建起来的那个精致的艺术品。更妙的是,在这样华丽的辞藻之下,作者偶尔会插入一些极其犀利、一针见血的现代哲学思考,这两种风格的强烈对比,反而产生了奇妙的化学反应,让阅读体验充满了惊喜。这绝对不是一本可以囫囵吞枣的书,它需要耐心,更需要沉浸式的专注。
评分翻开这本厚厚的精装本,一股油墨混合着陈年纸张的独特气味扑面而来,瞬间将我拉入了一个全然陌生的世界。这本书的排版设计简直是一场视觉盛宴,那种带着古典韵味的衬线字体,在柔和的米黄色纸张上显得格外醒目,每一个章节的开头都有一幅精心绘制的插图,笔触细腻,色彩饱满,仿佛能触摸到画中人物的衣袂飘飘。我花了整整一个下午的时间,沉浸在那些关于遥远星系间权力更迭和古老文明遗迹的宏大叙事中。作者对于细节的把控令人叹为观止,无论是描述一场突如其来的沙暴如何改变了整个星球的地貌,还是描绘一场宫廷舞会上贵族们暗流涌动的眼神交锋,都刻画得入木三分,让人仿佛亲历其境。特别是书中对于那些非人类种族的心理活动的刻画,那种迥异于人类情感的逻辑和动机,被作者处理得既疏离又引人入胜,展现了极其高超的想象力和洞察力。这本书的节奏掌控也恰到好处,时而如山涧溪流般轻快流畅,引人入胜地推进情节;时而又如深海暗流般缓慢而充满张力,将关键的冲突和人物的内心挣扎层层剥开,让人屏息凝神,生怕错过任何一个细微的转折。这种阅读体验,与其说是阅读,不如说是一场精心编排的感官冒险。
评分这本书最让我感到震撼的是它对于“时间”和“记忆”的探讨,这种深层次的主题,往往被宏大的冒险故事所掩盖,但在这里,它却是故事跳动的心脏。书中的核心冲突之一,似乎围绕着一种可以被篡改的历史记录展开。不同的角色,基于不同的记忆和立场,对同一场关键事件有着截然不同的叙述。作者高明地利用这种叙事视角的切换,让读者不断质疑自己所读到的一切:“我所看到的,究竟是真相,还是某个强大势力希望我看到的版本?”这种对主观认知的颠覆,贯穿了整本书。我经常会暂停下来,合上书本,回味刚刚读到的情节,思考不同角色的动机,试图从不同的角度去解读那些模棱两可的对话。这种思考的深度和广度,远超一般小说能提供的范畴。它探讨的不仅是外部世界的纷争,更是人类(或者类人生物)如何通过构建和选择性遗忘记忆来维持自我认同的过程。这本书读完后,我感觉自己不仅读了一个故事,更像是上了一堂关于认知心理学和历史哲学的深度研讨课,回味无穷。
评分说实话,一开始被这书的封面吸引,那种深邃的靛蓝色背景上点缀着如同碎钻般闪烁的光点,充满了未知的神秘感。然而,真正让我留恋不舍的是它所构建的那个社会体系的复杂性。这不是那种简单的善恶对立的故事,书中的每一个主要角色,无论立场如何,都有着多重面向和深刻的内在矛盾。我特别欣赏作者在处理道德灰色地带时的那种毫不手软的真实。书中那些看似正义的举动背后,往往隐藏着自私的动机,而那些被认为是反派的角色,他们的“邪恶”也常常源于对某种更高价值的扭曲追求。这种对人性的深刻剖析,让故事的层次感一下子提升了好几个维度。我甚至能感觉到,作者在每一个关键决策点上,都花费了大量的心思去设计那些连锁反应,一个小小的决定,可能会在未来引发一场席卷整个大陆的浩劫,这种因果报应的严密性,让人在阅读时不得不时刻保持警惕,不断推测下一步的发展。读到后半段,我甚至开始怀疑自己对书中一些既定事实的判断,因为作者总能在看似尘埃落定时,抛出一个足以颠覆前文所有理解的视角。这种智力上的挑战,正是这类史诗叙事最迷人的地方。
评分关于这本书所描绘的那个世界观构建,我只能用“令人窒息的宏大”来形容。它不仅仅是设定了一个新的星球或一个架空的王国,而是真正建立了一套完整运行的生态、天文、乃至神学体系。我翻阅了附在书末的几张手绘地图和时间年表,发现作者似乎真的为这个虚构的世界设计了数万年的历史演变轨迹。那些被提及一笔带过的古代战争和传说中的神祇,都有着清晰的背景脉络,它们彼此关联,互相影响,共同塑造了当代社会的方方面面。这种扎实的基础,使得故事中的一切行为都有了合理的逻辑支撑,即便是最离奇的魔法或科技,也都有其内部的运行法则。我尤其喜欢作者处理信息透露的方式,他不会像教科书一样将设定一股脑地抛给读者,而是通过角色间的对话、古籍的残篇、甚至是建筑的残骸中,碎片化地让读者自行拼凑出真相。这种“考古式”的阅读过程,极大地增强了读者的参与感和成就感,仿佛自己也是这个世界的探险家,在层层迷雾中挖掘被遗忘的真相。
评分Redon的画是与痛苦和孤独的共处:‘What distinguishes the artist from the dilettante is the pain experienced by the former. The dilettante looks to art only for his pleasure’ ‘// Art is a flower which blossoms freely, to the exclusion of all rules; in my view, it leaves sad disarray the microscopic analyses of the aestheticians who seek to explain it’
