主要内容: 本书因系“平面构成”的著作，所以各造型专业共同基础的形态、色彩、材料、构图、构思法等当中的平面关系为对象。对涉及色彩的内容，除在论述中特别需要外，予以省略。用节省下来的篇幅，对“形态”、“构图”、“构思法”及其他有关平面造型的技法、材料效果等的篇章予以充实，以期扩充与深化“平面构成”的范围。因此，有可能会遇到对部分相当深入的问题的解释，及对初学者来说出现稍感困难的专门主题。本书从第一章起始到第45页，选登了20世纪初以来对构成有深入研究的艺术家的作品，并在其后的正文中，也选收了一些活跃于第一线的艺术家的作品。 本书目录: 1 平面构成的目的；2 造型的要素；3 造型文法A——构图：离心的构图；向心的构图；构图的平衡感觉；4 造型文法B——幻像的创造：错视与无理图形（A）；错视与无理图形（B）；三维的幻像（A）；三维的幻像（B）；四维的幻像（A）；四维的幻像（B）；变形；5 技法的开拓。参考文献；画版作者索引。

In Anatomy for the Artist, acclaimed artist and teacher Sarah Simblet unveils the extraordinary construction of the human body, and celebrates its continual prominence in Western Art. The transparent body. Using superb, specially commissioned photographs of male and female models, together with historical and contemporary works of art, and her own illustrations, Sarah shows us how to see inside the human frame, to map its muscle groups, skeletal strength, balance, poise, and grace. Selected drawing superimposed over photographs reveal fascinating relationships between external appearance and internal structure. Drawing from life. Six drawing classes guide the reader to see the human body afresh, offering techniques and attitudes that imaginatively show how to view and draw the skeleton, head, ribcage, pelvis, hands, and feet. Dissecting the Masters. By investigating ten Masterworks, the author demonstrates different artist's ideas and knowledge across time, ranging from Holbein's Christ Entombed, to Edward Hopper's Hotel Room. Each Masterclass presents a photographed model set in the same pose, so that anatomical comparisons can be made. Understanding anatomy is often the key to an artist's understanding and interpretation of the body. This imaginative modern reference book will enhance the drawing and painting techniques of artists at every level.

本书是西方写实绘画与摄影术的比较研究，但重点是绘画，而摄影术只是作为一个“参照系”。论述的内容饱含三条记事本线索。第一，将人的“视觉景象”与“照相机景象”作比较。第二，将一切采取写实手法的绘画（不计艺术价值的高低）与照相作比较。第三，以上述两种比较为基础，论述西方写实绘画（尤其是艺术价值很高的名作）中容易被人忽视的特点。总之，通过衡量写实绘画与摄影术两者的异同得失，重新认识西方写实绘画在世界艺苑中的特殊地位，也将重新评量其真正的艺术价值。 　　西方写实绘画与摄影术的关系十分紧密，对于这个课题，西方也有一些专门论著，但为数不多（并且往往不从美术史、美学的观点论述）。至于大量的美术通史，对于摄影术往往只偶一提及，而没有以较多的篇幅作深入的探讨。“不识庐山真面目，只缘身在此山中”，对此不必深责。笔者是个东方人，从东方瞻望西方，或许反而看得比较清楚。因此试撰此文，或可作为一个“外篇”，略补西方美术史之不足吧。

《平面构成》主讲平面构成，平面构成是现代设计基础的一个重要组成部分。指将既有的形态（包括具象形态和抽象形态——点、线、面、体）在二维的平面内，按照一定的秩序和法则进行分解、组合，从而构成理想形态的组合形式。平面构成作为一种设计基础的训练方法，在很早就被设计家和设计教育家所重视，并随着社会科学技术的发展逐渐完善起来。 平面构成是一种理性的艺术活动，它在强调形态之间的比例、平衡、对比、节奏、律动、推移等的同时，又要讲究图形给人的视觉引导作用。平面构成在于探求二度空间世界的视觉文法，形象之建立，骨格之组织、各种元素之构成规律与规律之突破，造成既严谨又有无穷率动变化的装饰构图。它综合了现代物理学、光学、数学、心理学、美学的成就，扩大了传统抽象图案和几何图案的表现领域，大大丰富了装饰图案的图象和表现手段，在现代设计基础的教学训练中，对于培养学员的艺术思维能力和设计能力，尤其有重大作用。 《平面构成》作者黄刚，系中央工艺美术学院环境艺术系学士、硕士，曾任教于北京建筑工程学院建筑系，对现代设计基础的研究颇具心得，《平面构成》从成人教材的要求出发，力求简明清晰，并以大量图象范例，提供学员参考，内容精练，图象丰富，按照进度，对学员提出一定的作业要求，只要学员严格按照要求进行练习，收效一定是会很快的。

Welcome to Todd McLellan’s unique photographic vision of the material world: fifty design classics—arranged first by size and then by intricacy—are beautifully displayed, piece by piece, exploding in midair and dissected in real-time, frame-by-frame video stills. This book makes visible the inner workings of some of the world’s most iconic designs. From SLR camera to mantel clock to espresso machine, from iPad to bicycle to grand piano, every single component of each object is revealed. These disassembled objects show that even the most intricate of modern technologies can be broken down and understood, while beautifully illustrating the quality and elegance of older designs. Stunning photography is interspersed with essays by notable figures from the worlds of restoration, DIY, and design innovation who discuss historical examples of teardowns, disassembly, and reverse-engineering. Each photograph is itself a work of art and offers a reinterpretation of our familiar world. They connect people with the child-like joy of taking something apart to see how it works and will appeal to anyone with a curiosity about the material world. 181 color illustrations

碎冰社成立于 2003 年，但它的由来却要从1999年讲起，因为这是一群因音乐、电影、摄影、文学等等而结缘的人的故事。 —— 付海亮 天南海北。碎冰社本来就是一个虚拟的网络小组。当它存在或不存在，没多大差别。但这个词被正式确认过，这个词后面前面上面下面的 X 空间里确实活动着一些有血有肉的身躯，并且一晃已经十年了。这个时间的重量和价值现今已无法抵消、抹除或退还了。许多事已然发生过了。 —— 刘禹 六百余页文集收录十年内冰块们的过往痕迹： 陈伟/付海亮/付聿容/钢克/高健/海鹰/何龙/纪旭/金东宣/刘禹/刘凯恩/曲艺/王长存/鹦鹉/夏楠/云游/庄严/张君钢/张立明

This third volume of Kinfolk explores how we all might benefit from incorporating more of the things we love into our daily routines instead of saving them for the weekend or our next vacation. The essays and personal stories focus on welcoming food, community, and simplicity into our lives as regularly as possible. Over 50 well-known artists collaborate to showcase people creating these routines: a design firm finding ways to eat together at the office, a married couple trying to eat breakfast together every morning, and a young family the unintentionally created their own morning ritual of breakfast and freshly pulled espresso. Meals and relationships evolve in tandem: setting a date for lunch, finding our favorite restaurants and local spots, or sharing a meal that ultimately leads to marriage. These meals, moments, and places make us who we are individually and collectively. They leave sweet memories to revisit every time we return to the table.

An exciting monograph dedicated to an extraordinary figure and one of last century’s most famous and influential artists. Man Ray (1890-1976) was a photographer, painter, and creator of objects, experimental films, and images which were at times enigmatic. This catalog, which presents more than 200 works and compares and contrasts images with biographical details, is divided into three main sections: Man Ray’s formative years spent between New York and an artists’ colony in Ridgefield, New Jersey; the Paris period; and the period spent between Hollywood and Paris, France-the city he ultimately chose to adopt as his home. The publication describes the creation of some of his most famous pieces and the motifs-very often of females-that inspired the works. Man Ray’s life was marked by a succession of love affairs with famous and intriguing women, and this catalog dedicates several sections to this topic. The book also deals with the themes permeating Man Ray’s work throughout the years, such as his passion for chess, the relationship between reality and illusion, and experimental photography and film. Comparisons are also made with the works of some of the most important artists of the twentieth century, such as Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Constantin Brancusi, Jean Arp, and Francis Picabia.
