Capture the Reality of Your Urban Surroundings The genre of choice of some of photographys greats, from Henri Cartier-Bresson onwards, street photography is now experiencing a renaissance in the 21st century, as the omnipresence of digital cameras allows us all to seize the moment and shoot whenever and wherever we like - and at the same time, a resurgence of interest in lo-tech and retro film cameras highlights their portability and spontaneity.

Already well-established in the fields of fashion, journalistic, and portrait photography in his native Berlin, Bernd Obermann moved to New York City in 1996 to experience the city’s vibrant mix of culture, ethnicity, and race. For the next five years he ventured out of his apartment nearly every day, camera in hand, to explore what New York had to offer. The results of these walks through city streets, parks, and neighborhoods are collected in this paean to a place whose energy and spirit are as palpable as they are memorable. "When I take a photograph of somebody I am also making a photo of a deeper level of myself." Says Obermann, "I believe in acceptance and not in analysis." From the Bronx to the Battery, from poor to rich, young to old, Obermann’s images reflect his own fascination and sense of discovery.
水墨画鱼类，虽看似粗略几笔，齐白石对原物却观察得异常仔细，并抓住其主要特征进行刻画。他晚年曾对弟子胡絮青说：“鲫鱼腮旁有一条灰白的线，直通鱼尾，从这条线可以计算它身上有若干鳞片……画画的人如能这么仔细地去研究它，在画它时就不会马虎的了。”齐白石画虾享誉于世。他早期画虾，基本上是青虾（河虾）的造型，且多是游动的群虾，用小号羊毫笔，其质感和透明度不强，虾的腿和须画得短密且欠弹性，后腿呈排列状且多至八九条。为求神似，老人70岁后画虾，一改早年画法，加大并明确了虾身的起伏角度，同时对虾的游足也一删早年时的繁多，始而画游足五只，虾壳的质感和透明感也得到加强。80岁后他删繁就简，已不再画繁复的虾群，只为几只虾传神。画虾变化明显的是他把虾头前面的短须省去，仅画六条大须。虾须的简化，使得画幅的空
法国印象派绘画虽然在有些人看来分别存有或片面追求光学的客观主义，或把科学原理与艺术创作有机结合，以及自我表现的个体主义倾向等，但在西方传统绘画的历史性超越、对西方现代主义艺术的精神启迪等方面，提出了许多关键性的问题并进行了有益的探索性实验。因此可以说，法国印象派绘画扭转了西方美术的发展方向，开启了美术的新纪元。

修订一部深受读者欢迎的音乐通史，目的不是推倒重写，而是提高它的时代性。看惯前几版的读者，会觉得此书不论外貌或者内容改动甚大，但章次和范围基本未变。收名中加上“西方”一词，说明我们意识到西欧和南北美洲的音乐体系不过是世界文明的诸音乐体系之一。本书范围的又一局限在于只谈“艺术音乐”；而必须承认，“艺术音乐”这一概念本身便十分含糊。通俗音乐、爵士乐以及诸如此类的品种确已有相当高深的技巧，但不能期望本书同等对待西方音乐的这一广大支系（如今已成为独立的研究课题），常规的音乐史教程也未必能等同视之，而本书不过是一本常规音乐史的手册。
