想知道世界的黑暗就來看吧
各時代的陰影與人的恐懼躍然紙上
現實與理想的落差也是 那份諷刺無所不在

想知道人性的光輝也來看吧
因為黑暗教會人珍惜與看見希望與光明

多看點畫吧 那樣你會學會更多 窺探更多

Kowai E (aka “Scary Pictures”)

A brief but insightful journey through European history via twenty two perhaps not so well known masterpieces. Professor Nakano choses as her uniting theme paintings that have something disquieting about them. The disturbing thing can sometimes be quite obvious, but at other times the thing that is disturbing can be as subtle as the type of bird and what it is sitting on, or whether the bird is flying. She parses not only the symbolism in each work, but also the context in which the painting came to be created, and the personal history of the artist. All in very digestible 8 to 10 page summaries. This is part of a series, and I sense I may be picking up the next one.

I enjoyed this book a lot. If you know the story/history behind a picture all of a sudden it appears in a totally different light...

If you think of the Renaissance era you think of pictures of beautiful bodies, female and male, but there are also lots of very cruel pictures of old women drawn with every wrinkle and a grumpy facial expression. While young women were idealized elder women who had lost their youth were despised and considered worthless.

I rarely give non fiction books more then 3 stars just because I prefer fictional books but this one is a solid 3 star book.

“只有小孩的眼睛才會害怕畫中的魔鬼”
一個日本人寫的從16～20世紀的西洋名畫賞析，還是蘊含著恐怖意味的名畫。
本書共收錄了22幅名畫，舉凡眾所皆知的梵谷、孟克、波提切利、丁托列托、列賓等等的西方藝術家（這幾個是我有聽過的XD)，也有些乏人問津的畫家😅
至於這些畫到底有多恐怖或是它真的帶有那麼可怕的意念在裡頭嗎？
這些就見人見智了🤓
-
以下從22幅中挑出我最喜歡的5張（應該只有最後一張稍微可怕一點，其他都還好🤔）
👻第一張(pic2)- 布隆津諾的《愛的寓意》：這張光是第一眼看到就覺得超美！ 只是沒想到它有著難解的寓意在裡頭，考驗著鑒賞者的文化素養及眼界。
👻第二張-布勒哲爾的《絞刑架上的喜鵲》：我覺得布勒哲爾的風景畫都很漂亮，另外推薦一幅叫做《巴別塔》的作品。
👻第三張-克諾普夫《被遺棄的城市》：這幅畫帶給我一種...生無可戀的感受，好像所有的好運都不曾降臨在這。
👻第四張-德比的萊特《氣泵裡的鳥實驗》：我覺得這幅畫很適合掛在學校的實驗室裡😂
👻第五張-傑利柯《梅杜薩之筏》：這幅很有史詩的磅礴感，不愧是放在羅浮宮的名畫(?!)😂
