THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS: FINELY PRINTED LIVRES D’ARTISTES, 1910-2010
Book ID/图书代码： 03650111B46365
English Summary/英文概要： Artists’ books always contain art, and the art often serves as the primary reason for the book’s existence. And the history of bookmaking, since the Gutenberg Bible, contains examples of books whose typographic and design excellence is immediately apparent and beyond dispute, but which contain no art. Occasionally, the two worlds intersect and overlap, resulting in books as noteworthy for their artwork as their printing, as praiseworthy for their artistic content as their design and manufacturing. In this full color selection of 77 books from Europe and the Americas, the authors select, and comment upon the "best of both worlds": books whose pages reveal the best graphic work of the past century; artwork from the hands of masters as diverse as Braque, Calder, Dine, Hockney, Mapplethorpe, Matisse, Maillol, Picasso, Oldenburg and Rivers -- coupled with memorable texts orchestrated by the best designers, printers, and binders.
At once a visual feast and a provocative tour through well- and lesser-known titles, the primary thesis this book suggests is that one world does not have to be sacrificed at the expense of the other. In the hands of expert collaborators, a book can incorporate the best of both worlds -- the artistic and the bibliophilic -- to provide a vehicle that both exalts the contents and celebrates the messages.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 藝術作品的作用永遠都是介紹藝術，而這門藝術往往就是本書得以存在的主要原因。自從古藤保聖經出版以來，圖書製作中的排版與設計均達到無可置疑的精美程度。儘管如此，這些作品卻沒能傳達藝術的美感。偶爾，藝術與圖書製作這兩個世界也會出現交集和重疊之處，從而令其藝術美感和設計製作顯得同樣卓越和值得稱讚。在這本全彩的選集當中，四位作者從歐洲和美洲選取了77本在藝術與圖書設計方面做到“兩全其美”的作品，並做出如是評論：最能代表上個世紀平面美術工藝的作品；來自Braque， Calder，Dine，Hockney，Mapplethorpe， Matisse，Maillol，Picasso, Oldenburg 以及 Rivers等不同風格藝術大師之手的藝術品。此外，本書還附上了由最優秀設計師，出版商以及裝訂工們共同精心創作的文本，非常具有紀念意義。
不管是為人所知還是不為人知的作品，在幾位元作者的努力下，它們全都變成了十分醒目的視覺盛宴。本書主要論點意在表明一種效果的實現不必建立在另一種效果的犧牲之上。在四位專家的通力協作下，本書將兩種效果同時呈現變成現實，並且還為我們提供了一本內容與資訊共榮的工具書。（XMM）
