《中国美术院校教材：潘思同水彩画直观教材选》所介绍的是潘思同20世纪五、六十年代在浙江美术学院水彩画教学中使用的部分直观教材。所谓直观教材就是上课时的图示和示范作品。由于上课的教学时间有限，不可能在课堂里做大量示范，所以在每堂课上课之前，作为备课，潘思同都要针对一、二个问题，画一些直观教材，上面配备必要的文字说明，一方面为了节省时间，另一方面也为了取得视觉效果。在直观教材中，有些图本身就是独立的作品，因此，下课后学生常常争先恐后地拿去观摩、临摹。对这些直观教材，学生反应很好，有些青年教师也常借去作为参考。当时许多同行建议让这些教材印刷出版，但由于当时彩色印刷费用高昂，会大大提高书价，而且印刷质量也大有问题，如果采用黑白图版则大大削弱教材的直观效果，因而始终未能出版面世1993年，“

In 1958, the first edition of Robert Frank's TheAmericans was published in Paris. Les Américains contained Frank's 83 photographs in the same sequence as allsubsequent editions, with the image on the right hand page, butjuxtaposed with historical texts about American society andpolitics, gathered by Alain Bosquet. The following year, in thefirst American edition, the French texts were removed and anintroduction by Jack Kerouac was added. Over the subsequent 50years, The Americans has been republished in many editions,in numerous languages, with a variety of cover designs, and even ina range of sizes. It is the most famous photography book everpublished, and it changed the face of the medium forever. Robert Frank discussed with his publisher,Gerhard Steidl, the idea of producing a new edition using modernscanning and the finest tritone printing. The starting point was tobring original prints from New York to G?ttingen, Germany, whereSteidl is based. In July 2007, Frank visited G?ttingen. A new forma

Vasari famously wrote that Giotto "recovered the true method ofpainting, which been lost for many years before him," and indeed heis traditionally considered a founder of the Italian Renaissance.Producing a series of commissioned works for the church and upperclasses in his native Tuscany and surrounding regions, Giottochanged the course of European art by breaking away from the rigid,stereotyped figures of the Byzantine and Giotto medievaltraditions. His innovation was to give his characters naturalmovement and expression. His great fresco cycles, such as the livesof the Virgin and Christ in the Scrovegni (or Arena) Chapel, Padua,are populated with realistic depictions of three-dimensionalfigures; secondary characters, both comic and tragic, display therange of the painter's wit and invention. And Giotto's treatment ofperspective was just as revolutionary as his approach to the humanform. The dramatic power of his scenes is heightened by theconvincing illusionistic spaces in which he places them. In thisaut

This book includes 100 examples of 20th-century prints kept inthe permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum ofLondon. Arranged chronologically, each entry represents one year ofthe century and includes a full-page reproduction, along with apage of background information about the print and artist.

Austrian Expressionist Egon Schiele produced a prolific bodyof work before his early death at the age of twenty-eight in 1918.The oeuvre is comprised of a few hundred oil paintings andthousands of drawings and watercolors. Schiele's oils have often been reproduced and are wellrecognized. However, limited access to the fragile works on paperand dispersion among several collections have made for anunbalanced representation of his work as a draftsman. This book assembles drawings and watercolors from public andprivate collections and reproduces work from every year of theartist's career, beginning with the juvenilia and early academicstudies. The focus means that work that is rarely reproduced isrepresented extensively, providing a unique opportunity to studythe rapid artistic development of Schiele over the course of hisbrief twelve-year career. The book is organized chronologically and divided intoyear-by-year sections. Each section includes a text that discussesthe major events in Sch

《中国美术院校教材：潘思同水彩画直观教材选》所介绍的是潘思同20世纪五、六十年代在浙江美术学院水彩画教学中使用的部分直观教材。所谓直观教材就是上课时的图示和示范作品。由于上课的教学时间有限，不可能在课堂里做大量示范，所以在每堂课上课之前，作为备课，潘思同都要针对一、二个问题，画一些直观教材，上面配备必要的文字说明，一方面为了节省时间，另一方面也为了取得视觉效果。在直观教材中，有些图本身就是独立的作品，因此，下课后学生常常争先恐后地拿去观摩、临摹。对这些直观教材，学生反应很好，有些青年教师也常借去作为参考。当时许多同行建议让这些教材印刷出版，但由于当时彩色印刷费用高昂，会大大提高书价，而且印刷质量也大有问题，如果采用黑白图版则大大削弱教材的直观效果，因而始终未能出版面世1993年，“
