TO THE RESCUE OF ART: TWENTY SIX ESSAYS

Book ID/图书代码： 13520020C00002

English Summary/英文概要： Never before published essays by the widely admired psychologist of art. Arnheim spiritedly asserts art’s fundamental achievements.

Rudolf Arnheim has spent a lifetime analyzing the basic psychological principles that make works of visual art meaningful, stirring, indispensable, and lasting. But recent fashionable attitudes and theories about art, he argues, are undermining the foundation of artistic achievement itself.

The essays collected in this volume are written in his familiar, careful, and solidly supported manner, but under present circumstances they amount to a call to arms. Included is a series of miniature monographs on a variety of great works of art. In other essays, Arnheim uncovers enlightening perspectives in the art of the blind, in architectural space, in caricature, and in the work of psychotics and autistic children. He also presents new scientific aspects on the psychology of art and widens our range of vision by connecting art with language, literature, and religion.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 艺术心理学是艺术与心理学的交叉学科，主要从艺术创作和欣赏两个角度研究人类在艺术活动中的心理机制。最著名的艺术心理学是格式塔心理学(Gestalt Psychology)，又称完形心理学，其集大成者为鲁道夫·阿恩海姆(Arnheim)，其学说重在脑波力场与视觉反应的关系。除此之外，精神分析亦是艺术心理学的重点学科，其创始人为佛洛伊德。

鲁道夫·阿恩海姆（Rudolf Arnheim）毕生致力于分析使艺术作品有意义、令人激动、必不可少和成为传世经典的基本心理学原理。本书搜集了二十六篇鲁道夫·阿恩海姆从未发表过的论文，以细致且有理据的方式书写，是了解艺术基本心理学必不可少的著作，其中包括一系列关于各种伟大艺术作品的短篇论述，以及阿恩海姆（Arnheim）在盲人艺术、建筑空间，漫画以及精神病和自闭症儿童的作品中，揭示的崭新观点。他还提出了关于艺术心理学的新科学，并透过将艺术与语言、文学和宗教联系起来，扩大了我们的视野。 (Zoe)
