一部浩瀚的19世纪艺术史 由法国和比利时的顶尖艺术史专家团队编著 跨多个学科、角度新颖、主题丰富 - 【编辑推荐】 ◎一部“非典型”、聚焦“现代性”的19世纪艺术史 在西方世界，19世纪堪称一个波澜壮阔的大时代，轰轰烈烈的政治运动、工业革命、城市发展和殖民扩张集中爆发，各种文学、哲学和科学理论层出不穷，包括波德莱尔的“现代性”理论、谢弗勒尔的色彩理论等，这一切深深影响了当时的艺术。本书以19世纪艺术领域的多元发展为线索，基本放弃了传统教材式的“绘画/雕塑/建筑/摄影”艺术分类和“艺术流派”划分，反而采用了一种更广博的跨学科、跨地域的方式，在“现代性”这一框架之下，以文学、哲学、历史学、社会学等多重视角深入探讨了19世纪的艺术流派、艺术空间、艺术教育、艺术市场、工业设计，以及当时新兴的量产图像、建筑设计、摄影技术和文化遗产保护等内容。 ◎法国和比利时顶...(展开全部)

The Birth of the Modern World is a wonderfully ambitious book that effectively demonstrates the global nature of the modern world and the need to decentre national histories and think big.

Review By choosing to consider the rich interface between liberalism and philosophy (rather than, say, sociology or party organisation), Ryan has opened up a vast and exciting field for exploration and debate.

Few years can justly be said to have transformed the earth: 1914 did. In July that year, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Britain and France were poised to plunge the world into a war that would kill or wound 37 million people, tear down the fabric of society, uproot ancient political systems and set the course for the bloodiest century in human history. In the longer run, the...(展开全部)
