《西方艺术新史》解构并揭开了欧洲艺术漫长历史的神秘面纱，揭示了某些艺术作品何以成为具有持久魅力的经典之作。

 

艺术如何从追求“理想”的人体形态演变为一块白色画布上的黑色方块？为什么一根用胶带贴在墙上的香蕉在艺术市场上的价值会超过一幅美丽的17世纪风景画？

 

本书将艺术还原为其本真面貌——一块石头或木头、一张画有几条线的纸、一幅绘有图像的画布——通过这一生动且易于理解的叙述，展示了看似毫无意义的物体如何被转化为备受赞誉的艺术作品。

 

科恩拉德·容克希尔打破了关于艺术天才的传统观念，探讨了故事和情感如何赋予物体意义，以及为什么随着历史环境的变化，人们对艺术的看法会随之改变。

 

从古代追溯至今，《西方艺术新史》重新构建了欧洲艺术的发展历程，并彻底改变了我们对艺术史的理解。

 

A New History of Western Art deconstructs and demystifies the long history of art in Europe to reveal how and why certain works of art become iconic and enduring in their appeal.

 

How has art evolved from the pursuit of the ‘ideal’ human form to a black square on a white canvas? Why is a banana duct-taped to a wall worth more on the art market than a beautiful seventeenth-century landscape?

 

By taking art for what it actually is – a piece of stone or wood, a sheet of paper with some lines drawn on it, a painted canvas – this lively and accessible account shows how seemingly meaningless objects can be transformed into celebrated works of art.

 

Breaking with conventional notions of artistic genius, Koenraad Jonckheere explores how stories and emotions give meaning to objects, and why changing historical circumstances result in such shifting opinions over time.

 

Tracing its story from ancient times to present, A New History of Western Art reframes the evolution of European art and radically reshapes our understanding of art history.
