重估透纳在西方艺术史上的革命性地位
收录多幅透纳艺术生涯最具代表性的画作
以绘画为线索呈现19世纪大英帝国的兴衰
透纳在西方艺术史上具有承前启后的重要地位,但因其很难被划分进某一流派,他在普通读者心中的知名度恐怕比不上受其启发的后辈——以莫奈为代表的印象派画家。基于此,关于透纳的相关学术著作,无论是在数量上还是质量上都无法概括透纳为现代艺术的发展所做的贡献。本书广泛参考了艺术评论家罗斯金的代表作《现代画家》和《透纳与拉斐尔前派》,同时又将透纳一生的创作与18世纪末19世纪初英国和欧陆的历史联系起来,不仅对透纳在艺术史上的开创性贡献进行了完整的呈现和深入的分析,同时也展现了透纳风景画创作背后的文明观和历史观,将对透纳绘画的分析从单纯的审美体验上升为对人类文明整体的思考,从而打破了艺术史和政治史、社会史的边界,为普通读者了解透纳、专业读者重新审视透纳提供了新颖独特的视角和较为完整的素材。

A brief introduction to the Fallacy of Hope
"Open Art History" series original new
Reassessing Turner's revolutionary role in Western art history
A collection of some of Turner's most iconic paintings
It presents the rise and fall of the British Empire in the 19th century with the clue of painting
Turner plays an important role in the history of Western art, but because he is difficult to be classified into a certain school, his popularity in the minds of ordinary readers may not be as good as that of his later generation, represented by Monet, Impressionist painters. For this reason, neither the quantity nor the quality of the academic works on Turner can summarize Turner's contribution to the development of modern art. This book makes extensive reference to Ruskin's masterpieces The Modern Painter and Turner and the Pre-Raphaelite, and at the same time connects Turner's life creation with the history of Britain and Europe in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It not only presents a complete presentation and in-depth analysis of Turner's pioneering contribution to art history, At the same time, it also shows the view of civilization and history behind the creation of Turner's landscape paintings, elevates the analysis of Turner's paintings from a simple aesthetic experience to a reflection on the whole human civilization, thus breaking the boundaries of art history, political history and social history, providing a new and unique perspective and relatively complete material for ordinary readers to understand Turner and professional readers to re-examine him.
