關書的構造

書本的形狀人人都很熟悉，但其實每個部位都有它們各自的名稱。書的構造會隨著種類的不同而稍有改變，以下則是舉出一些基本部位，請各位務必牢記。在此是以個別製作封面與本文，之後再合併起來的「無線膠裝」為例，介紹各項主要名稱。

在這個全民瘋設計的時代，尤其當「美學」、「美學經濟」成為一項熱門的討論時，不禁會想：什麼是美？美又從何而來？有了美的感知，對我們的身、心、靈，以及整個社會文化又造成了哪種影響？


美學大師蔣勳，這一次，他從美的根源談起，談那開天闢地以來的「美的曙光」，談人類文明進程中各種多采多姿的文化創意，以及從人類創發的事物中如何得出美的感知。想像一下，現在正放在電腦前的咖啡杯，經過千百年後，可能是博物館裡眾人圍觀的寶物，多令人讚歎！


我們擁有留下美的能力，因為我們擁有靈活的雙手。「手」是人類一切文明和創作的起始。人類的手是一切美的起點，在曙光照耀下，一雙雙的手開始了雕刻、摶揉、編織，開始了切、磋、琢、磨。使用這些經由雙手打造的器物或是裝飾品，感受那藉由創造而傳達出的夢想與渴望，就是美。


從石器時代到青銅時代，從古埃及到古中國，蔣勳讓「美的曙光」在現代社會中重新升起。我們會發現，美是無目的性的快樂，有意義的創造。美是一種心靈的綻放，是毫無羞怯的，可以將你的笑容與淚水與別人一起分享，才是真正的美的意義。

About this Book

"A definitive biography." Robert Hughes, Time "A nearly flawless account of a remarkable artist . . . a compelling and accessible narrative for anyone even remotely interested in modern American art." Michael Kammen, The New York Times Book Review This acclaimed biography of Edward Hopper is essential reading for anyone interested in the world-famous realist artist. This second, expanded edition doubles the number of illustrations, and includes a new section of paintings in color. A newly added section on Hopper's international influence on culture, especially on contemporary art, poetry, and cinema, makes this edition unique. The original biography (Edward Hopper: An Intimate Biography, Knopf, 1995) has long been considered the seminal review of Edward Hopper's life and work. The biography's focus is the laconic, introverted painter's stormy forty-three-year marriage to outspoken and gregarious Josephine ("Jo") Nivison, herself an artist, and draws extensively on Jo Hopper's intimate diaries, which she kept from the early 1930s until shortly before her death in 1968 (just 10 months after her husband died).
