給青年藝術家的信 =  Letters to a young artist

蔣勳著

索書號:PL2844 H834 K45 2004

 

「如果我們的生活被塞滿了,我們還能有空間給美嗎?如果我們的心靈没有空間,美要如何進來呢?」作者向青年藝家傳達的是,使一個人走向藝術的,不是嚴肅的訓話,而是一些身體深處揮之不去的感覺記憶。作者並不是教讀者具體的寫詩、畫畫、作曲、舞蹈的技巧,也不是教導一切與藝術有關的形式,本書所重視的是「感官」,是打開視覺、開啟聽覺、用全部的身體去感覺氣味、重量、質地、形狀、色彩;是在做為藝術家之前,先為自己準備了豐富的人的感覺。

The Castellani jewelry consisted of finely wrought gold that was often combined with delicate and colorful mosaics, carved gemstones, or enamel. This magnificent book is the first to display and discuss the jewelry and the family behind it.
