内容简介
" The Story of Art, one of the most famous and popular books on art ever written, has been a world bestseller for over four decades. Attracted by the simplicity and clarity of his writing, readers of all ages and backgrounds have found in Professor Gombrich a true master, and one who combines knowledge and wisdom with a unique gift for communicating his deep love of the subject. For the first time in many years the book has been completely redesigned. The illustrations, now in color throughout, have all been improved and reoriginated, and include six fold‐outs. The text has been revised and updated where appropriate, and a number of significant new artists have been incorporated. The bibliographies have been expanded and updated, and the maps and charts redrawn. The Story of Art has always been admired for two key qualities: it is a pleasure to read and a pleasure to handle. In these respects the new edition is true to its much‐loved predecessors: the text runs as smoothly as ever and the improved illustrations are always on the page where the reader needs them. In its new edition, this classic work continues its triumphant progress tirelessly for yet another generation, to remain the title of first choice for any newcomer to art or the connoisseur."
作者简介
Sir Ernst Gombrich's (1909-2001) standing in the world of art and his popularity with experts and a vast general readership alike remain unrivalled. His books have been translated into more than twenty languages and many titles have become classics. Ernst Gombrich was born in Vienna and came to England in 1936. He spent the larger part of his working life at the University of London's Warburg Institute, where he was Director from 1959 until his retirement in 1976. His 'retirement' saw the publication of numerous books, reviews, and articles, and the conferring of many international honors, including a knighthood and the Order of Merit. In 1994 the city of Frankfurt awarded him the Goethe Prize. Professor Gombrich's books are models of good art-historical writing, and reflect his deep and abiding concern with the standards and values of our cultural heritage.

精彩书评
正如美国国立艺术馆馆长卡特·布朗所说:“在那项帮助人们熟悉艺术的伟大事业中,《艺术的故事》是一部巅峰之作……此书值得一读再读,就像美酒佳酿那样,愈加品赏愈觉其味隽永。”在贡布里希的眼里,艺术的发展过程,乃是一个精彩的故事,是人类寻求“美”的真谛的伟大历险故事,因此,在《艺术的故事》中他自己也就成了一个说故事的人。然而,这毕竟是洞悟之后的归于平淡,“故事”中的字字句句,其实都沉淀着作者成熟独特的学术观和历史观,在阅读此书的过程中,人们会时时感到贡布里希那极具穿透力的眼光,他对艺术现象和艺术品的分析,让每个人都有醍醐灌顶之感。因此,可以说《艺术的故事》已经远远超越了一般美术读物的意义,它影响了西方几代人的思维。一位英国艺术研究专业人士曾这样说道:“正如我这一代的每一个艺术史家一样:我考虑绘画的方式在很大程度上是由恩斯特·贡布里希塑造成型的。”作者的另一个重要思想,即作者在前言中所交代的一个观点:一方面,在艺术问题的解决上,某个问题的解决方案无论怎样激动人心,都毫无例外的在别处激起了新问题;另一方面,艺术发展在一个方面有什么所得或进步,都必然会在另一个方面有所失,主观的进步概念无论多么重要也不等同于客观的艺术价值的提高。
正是由于这些原因,《艺术的故事》讲述的是各种传统不断迂回、不断改变的故事,每一件作品在其故事中都既回顾过去又导向未来,因为在这个故事中,哪一方面也不如这样的景观奇妙:即一条有生命的传统锁链还继续把当前的艺术跟金字塔时代的艺术联系在一起。艺术的故事》的心理学出发点正是这种观念,作者谈到了原始人和古埃及人画他们的所知,而印象主义者却想画他们的所见。通读全书,我们看到艺术家如何从原始人和古埃及人的概念方法一步步走到印象主义的方法。尤其值得注意的是,作者在结尾写道:在印象主义的方案中也许有某种矛盾导致了再现艺术在20世纪的崩溃。因为实际上没有哪位艺术家可以抛弃所有的法规和程式,单纯地画他的所见。换言之,作者提出了所见与所知理论本身存在的一个巨大问题。从而把这个理论问题留给了他的更高深的著作《艺术与错觉》去解决。至此,我们可以进一步地说,《艺术的故事》不仅教给人们欣赏艺术,而且它还让人们欣赏了知识和智慧的魅力。总之,作为经典之作,此书值得一读再读。
