中文简介:
蒙德里安在大众眼里是一个西装革履的严肃男人,矜持而冷漠。正是一组约10张的照片随着时间的推移塑造了这一形象,然而,还有大约400张关于这位艺术家和他的工作室的照片,将提供一个更平衡、更生动的蒙德里安形象。
这不是一本传记,而是一本视觉和情感参考书,供任何想要沉浸在这位现代艺术家的世界里的人阅读。蒙德里安在阿姆斯特丹、巴黎和纽约的工作室本身就是艺术作品,和这些房间里的客人一样迷人。这里有展示他私人生活的快照,都是在旅行或访问期间拍摄的,也有晚宴和晚餐的照片,以及他用来宣传严肃、不妥协的艺术家形象的正式画像。书中包括详细的插图说明和关于摄影在蒙德里安作品中的意义的文章,使这本书成为他那个时代的特别记录。
英文简介:
The general public's image of Mondrian is of a serious man in a suit and tie with a reserved, rather aloof look. It is the same group of some ten photographs that shaped this image over time, although there are around 400 known photographs of the artist and his studios that provide a far more balanced and livelier image of Mondrian.
This gorgeous book is not a biography, but rather a visual and emotional reference work for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the world of this extraordinarily modern artist. The studios in Amsterdam, Paris, and New York are works of art themselves, as fascinating as the guests in these rooms. There are snapshots showing his private life, taken during journeys or visits, photographs of vernissages and dinners as well as formal portraits that he uses to promote the image of a serious, uncompromising artist. Detailed captions and richly illustrated essays on the significance of photography in the context of Mondrian's work make this book an extraordinary document of his time.
