碧娜．鮑許一九四○年出生在德國西部以金屬加工製造業聞名的索林根市。十五歲即進入至今仍以音樂與舞蹈聞名的福克望學校學習舞蹈。因成績優秀，畢業後獲政府獎學金赴紐約繼續深造。一九六○、六一年間得到紐約茱麗亞音樂學院特殊學生獎，同時也開始了她職業舞者的生涯。返回歐洲後，碧娜在許多著名的編舞家旗下演出許多重要角色。一九七三年德國北萊茵西法稜州政府頒予碧娜．鮑許藝術新人獎的同時，她接掌了烏伯塔爾舞團芭蕾總監的職位。初時，碧娜因前衛的理念與不尋常的表達方式，飽受本地觀眾的質疑與排斥，然而，碧娜仍能秉持著ㄧ股對藝術的熱愛與執著，不斷自我要求、自我超越。碧娜．鮑許的舞蹈劇場，終於能在歐洲的舞蹈及戲劇界日漸嶄露頭角，並且建立了今日國際上舉足輕重的地位。 碧娜．鮑許的舞蹈劇場，是一種前所未有的舞蹈與戲劇的結合。正如諾貝爾特．賽佛斯（Norbert Servos），這位長久以來伴隨碧娜．鮑許舞蹈劇場成長的作家兼藝評家，在他最近出版的《碧娜．鮑許之舞蹈劇場（Pina Bausch /Tanztheater）》一書中談到：「烏伯塔爾之舞蹈劇場模式，在以透過對人性心理，如：渴望與盼望、恐懼與勉強為主題的表達方式，誠然已創造出了在造型、色彩、氣氛及動感的畫面上，一個極其豐富的世界性戲劇。」碧娜也一再強調，她的舞蹈劇場是以一種真實又確切的眼光來看人性與人的行為。它代表著她的一種不帶成見的處世態度。它所要告訴人們的是：他們「是怎樣的人」，而不是他們「該是怎樣的人」。它也不立下任何人所該追尋的理想或是道德標準，卻是說明人們在不斷追求幸運的嘗試與誤解過程裡，即使常有失敗挫折，仍然要保持幽默的心情。因為唯有如此執著，方能使得人們對獲得幸運與愛，這「人類基本要求」的希望，不至破滅。 碧娜舞蹈劇場的內容多來自與現實生活接近的童話、神話及夢境的片段。經由類似交響樂般的作曲方式，將真實與幻想的層面相互交織在一起，使兩者間近乎沒有界限。這不是說真實將為夢境所取代，而是「醒著的夢」同樣能說出人真正的一面。在舞蹈劇場裡、在想像與真實之間，使得感情與理智結合在一起。就如碧娜心中常引用來自法國作家聖．修伯里在他著名的《小王子》所說的：「只有用心來看，才能看見美好的。」 碧娜．鮑許不僅創造出了一種新的舞蹈形式、新的呈現方式 ，她也讓「舞蹈」這個名詞有了新的定義。它的影響不僅及於舞蹈；今天，全球在碧娜．鮑許的舞蹈劇場影響啟發下的戲劇、歌劇以及影片的實例已比比皆是。

叶浅予先生说：速写本就是画家的笔记本，它为画家准备了创作素材，其次，它本身又是一种绘画艺术，它的任务是捉住描写对象的一刹那，它必须练出心灵手快的本领；第三，速写是线条的艺术，对于线条技巧的锻炼，画速写是最好的方法之一。 速写不独可以独立为一门艺术，为绘画创作立功张本，速写也是可以出如叶浅予这样光彩夺目的速写大家的。

Editorial Reviews Product Description "A compendium of cutting-edge art." - Miami HeraldThe summer forecast for contemporary art is decidedly "cooler" thanexpected.Massive cutting-edge international exhibitions including TheVenice Biennale, Documenta 12 in Kassel, Germany and Sculpture ProjectsMuenster are all scheduled for June 2007 and the art world will be abuzz. But what if you can't make it to these events and you want a piece of theaction?ICE CREAM: CONTEMPORARY ART IN CULTURE is an up to the minute collection ofthe most exceptional contemporary artists of tomorrow.It presents 100 ofthe world's top emerging artists selected by 10 esteemed curators includingJens Hoffman, Director of the CCA Wattis Institute in San Francisco; ShamimMomin, Associate Curator at the Whitney; Philippe Vergne, Chief Curator atthe Walker Art Center; and The Wrong Gallery, formally "the smallestexhibition space in New York" that is now housed within the Tate Modern.Continuing the phenomenon established by its predecessors Cream (1998)Fresh Cream (2000) and Cream 3 (2003) as in "one that rises to the top,"ICE CREAM identifies the cutting edge artists to watch in the future.Theprevious titles were a favorite among collectors as they accuratelypredicted a number of art stars including Tacita Dean, Olafur Eliasson andThomas Hirschhorn.Stylishly designed, ICE CREAM also upholds the series'heritage of innovative packaging by featuring a shiny iridescent cover. In ICE CREAM, each curator has selected 10 important new artists who haveeither emerged internationally over the past five years, or are stillrelatively unknown.Their definition of emerged means that an artist hashad solo shows, but nothing large-scale in a major institution (apart froma couple recent exceptions), has been reviewed in the international artpress, but not been the subject of a major monograph, and has been givensufficient exposure without yet becoming fully established. In the selection process, no limitations on geography or media wereimposed. Over 25 countries are represented including China (a currentfavorite with collectors), Brazil Russia, Canada, Slovenia, Korea, Israel,Kenya, Mexico and the U.S.Age was also not a factor.The Wrong Galleryeven went so far as to select the "most unlikely candidates."MassimilianoGioni explained, "In other words, we went for the wrong ones: artists whoare more than 60 years old; artists who are not emerging, but have emergedor simply stuck around long enough to make their voices heard by anyone whowould listen."They selected artists such as Maria Lassnig, David Medallaand Jiri Kovanda.ICE CREAM opens with a conversation between the contributors as they debatethe changing role of the curator and current trends in contemporary art,including: *The blurring of roles between artist and curator demonstrated by thefact that artists have recently been invited to make selections inexhibitions. For example, The Wrong Gallery curated the 4th Berlin Biennialfor Contemporary Art (2006) and presented an exhibition within the 2006Whitney Biennial. The ICA London also exhibited the "Artist's Favorites"show in 2004.*The shift in the conception of the exhibition that expands beyondmuseum walls. Inserting art in different environments.*The effect of private art spaces that are run by collectors todisplay their own collections.Jens Hoffman states, "This will have astrong impact on the overall landscape of contemporary art, since many ofthose collectors who are opening spaces are also the people who give moneyto public institutions, which they'll probably cease to do (once they havetheir own location)." *The impact of the booming art market on artists who seem deeplyaffected by the pressure to conform to market forces and adapt their work.Each of the 100 artists is featured over four pages with a selection oftheir work together with a commentary by the curator who selected them, anexhibition history, and a bibliography.Every curator also selects aSource Artist, namely any artist from any previous generat About the Author The 10 Curators of ICE CREAM -Sergio Edelsztein founded The Center for Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv in 1995, where he has been the Director since 1997. -Jens Hoffmann is a curator and writer based in San Francisco where he is the newly appointed Director of the CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts. -Lisette Lagnado was the Chief Curator of the 27th São Paulo Biennial (2006) and, since 2001 she has been editor of the online journal, Trópico. -Midori Matsui is an art critic who has written extensively on Japanese and Western art for a wide variety of periodicals and catalogues. -Shamim Momin is an Associate Curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art.

年過七十，依舊精力旺盛的John Berger，向來被敬重為英國最具影響力的藝術評論家。他的Ways of Seeing，從社會關係談論藝術，翻轉傳統觀畫的方式，從側面切入，看到了傳統藝術史沒有看到的問題，是使許多人印象深刻，影響深遠的一本書。 本書同時清楚標示了他的馬克思主義色彩，為文熱情、反向思考、大膽批評。二○○一年的新作The Shape of a Pocket，收錄二十四篇，他在蘇黎士、馬德里、瑞典、法蘭克福、赫爾辛基等地以不同語言發表的講演與文章，初次翻成英文出版，基本觀點集中於對現下經濟全球化趨勢的批評，文字依舊有著濃烈的批評色彩，John Berger曾在訪問中提及，這是近幾年少數幾本迫切著非出不可的一本書。 書中以對法國史前藝術的觀察，古典藝術大師米開蘭基羅、林布蘭、竇加，以及個性強烈的墨西哥女畫家卡蘿，廿世紀雕塑大師布朗庫西（Brancusi）等人的作品，以及相關的歷史社會分析，批評全球經濟掛帥環境下，對藝術的欠缺理解與乏善可陳，是一本權威敢言且殷切提醒的書。 我所謂群體意指一小群反抗勢力。當兩個以上志同道合的人聯合起來，便組成一個群體。反抗的是世界經濟新秩序的缺乏人性。凝聚的這群人是讀者、我、以及這些文章的主題人物─林布蘭，舊石器時代的洞窟壁畫畫家，一個來自羅馬尼亞的鄉下人，古埃及人，對描繪孤寂的旅館客房很在行的一位專家，薄暮中的狗，廣播電台的一個男子。意外的是，我們的交流強化了我們每個人的信念，堅信今天在世界上發生的事情是不對的，所說的相關話題往往是謊言。我寫過的書，就屬本書最迫切。─約翰．柏格 「柏格既敢言且獨特…其散文風格─一種不加渲染的放聲思考─引發…不同的世界體驗，而當中的藝術，讓人永久牢記。」─〈華盛頓郵報〉 「激發、誘惑、旁敲側擊、暗示，甚至鎮定人心…柏格令我們吃驚的是，重新賦予日常事物以深度，並擴展我們自己。」─〈奧勒岡人報〉（The Oregonian） 「激發、誘惑、旁敲側擊、暗示，甚至鎮定人心…柏格令我們吃驚的是，重新賦予日常事物以深度，並擴展我們自己。」─〈奧勒岡人報〉（The Oregonian）

Examining the black and white animated films of William Kentridge, this volume discusses the political and philosophical dimensions of drawing, a term the artist applies equally to his works on paper, film and theatre productions. It surveys Kentridge's work within a broad historical and geographic context of politicised art practices while analyzing the formal innovations of his animation techniques.

The best of Klimt's drawings and watercolors, beautifully reproduced in full color. There is no doubt about Gustav Klimt's greatness as a draftsman. Remarkable above all is the intensely sensual mood that he establishes in his limpid, fluid drawings and watercolors: the pencil or crayon line with which his subjects are described explores and caresses as though the act of drawing was itself a seduction. Klimt's drawings are often highly erotic and explicit, many to such an extent that they have rarely been reproduced. This has made for an unbalanced representation of his work as a draftsman, and a comprehensive survey of his graphic output is long overdue. Rainer Metzger, a noted art historian, has brought together hundreds of Klimt's drawings and watercolors in a way that enriches our knowledge of the artist and enhances the visual impact of his oeuvre. Klimt's drawings and studies, and his elegantly direct and dangerously intoxicating preparatory sketches, reveal the underlying impetus for and structure of his elaborate canvases. 307 color illustrations.

In this brilliant essay, Jacques Derrida explores issues of vision, blindness, self-representation, and their relation to drawing, while offering detailed readings of an extraordinary collection of images. Selected by Derrida from the prints and drawings department of the Louvre, the works depict blindness--fictional, historical, and biblical. From Old and New Testament scenes to the myth of Perseus and the Gorgon and the blinding of Polyphemus, Derrida uncovers in these images rich, provocative layers of interpretation. For Derrida drawing is itself blind; as an act rooted in memory and anticipation, drawing necessarily replaces one kind of seeing (direct) with another (mediated). Ultimately, he explains, the very lines which compose any drawing are themselves never fully visible to the viewer since they exist only in a tenuous state of multiple identities: as marks on a page, as indicators of a contour. Lacking a "pure" identity, the lines of a drawing summon the supplement of the word, of verbal discourse, and, in doing so, obscure the visual experience. Consequently, Derrida demonstrates, the very act of depicting a blind person undertakes multiple enactments and statements of blindness and sight. "Memoirs of the Blind" is both a sophisticated philosophical argument and a series of detailed readings. Derrida provides compelling insights into famous and lesser known works, interweaving analyses of texts--including Diderot's "Lettres sur les aveugles," the notion of mnemonic art in Baudelaire's "The Painter of Modern Life," and Merleau-Ponty's "The Visible and the Invisible." Along with engaging meditations on the history and philosophy of art, Derrida reveals the waysviewers approach philosophical ideas through art, and the ways art enriches philosophical reflection. An exploration of sight, representation, and art, "Memoirs of the Blind" extends and deepens the meditation on vision and painting presented in "Truth and Painting." Readers of Derrida, both new and familiar, will profit from this powerful contribution to the study of the visual arts.

在线阅读本书 Drawing has recently experienced a renewal of importance in the art world; in fact, it has rarely been as widely represented in the biennials, art fairs, and exhibitions as it is now. Similar in concept, scope and structure to Phaidon's successful volume Vitamin P, Vitamin D presents, in A to Z order, the work of 109 artists who have emerged internationally since 1990 using the medium of drawing. Whether representational or abstract, small or large in scale, using only one line or rich in colors and pattern, drawings have a highly descriptive and meticulously detailed quality that is being explored by an increasing number of contemporary artists. Extending beyond the traditional image associated with this medium, Vitamin D hopes to illustrate the complexity, variety, and relevance of the practice of drawing today.
