书籍介绍

In this new book, neuroscientist Eric R. Kandel, whose remarkable scientific career and deep interest in art give him a unique perspective, demonstrates how science can inform the way we experience a work of art and seek to understand its meaning.

Eric R. Kandel is University Professor and Kavli Professor in the Departments of Neuroscience, Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, and Psychiatry at Columbia University. He is director of the Kavli Institute for Brain Science and codirector of the Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute at Columbia. In 2000, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicin...

精彩摘录
  • "... a person’s taste in art is linked to his or her sense of identity."
  • "To be abstract is to be at some distance from the material world. It is a form of local exaltation but also, sometimes, of disorientation, even disturbance. Art at its most powerful can induce such a state, art without literal content perhaps most potently."
  • "每一幅有影响力的图画都天然地具有多义性因为它源自艺术家生活中的体验与冲突。观看者依据他自己的体验和冲突来对这种多义性作出反应，一定程度上再现了艺术家创作这幅作品时的体验。 对艺术家而言，创造的过程也是理解的过程，对观看者来说，理解的过程也是创造的过程。由于观看者的参与程度取决于图画本身的多义程度，而一幅抽象艺术作品又缺乏可识别的形式供观看者参考，它理应比一幅具象作品更需要观看者想象力的参与。或许正是这种需要使得抽象作品对一些观看者来说变得难以理解，但对那些能够在作品中发现某种广泛且超然体验的观看者来说却是有收获的。"
  • "Painters, he wrote, were no longer concerned with the technical aspect of art, but were focused on treating the canvas as an "arena in which to act.... What was to go on the canvas was not a picture but an event.""
  • "... art is incomplete without the perceptual and emotional involvement of the viewer."
  • "For the artist, the creative process is also interpretive, and for the beholder the interpretative process is also creative."
  • "Our perception of the world is a fantasy that coincides with reality."
  • "These biological findings confirm Kris and Gombrich's inference that visual perception is not a simple window on the world, but truly a creation of the brain."

Eric Kandel真是太酷了
简明神经/认知科学入门，简明纽约现当代抽象艺术史。结合部分写的一般，因为还没有直接科学成果。引用的研究都很前沿，大部分是2010年之后的成果。Neurosci真是年轻的学科。

可以挖的更深 well I think it's a good start
被中译本的名字坑了，现在才看到这本用脑科学讲解艺术的书…读起来很流畅，看得很开心，可能是因为我有心理学和艺术史知识支撑，但是干货确实太少，最后再吐槽下中译本的名字像没有技术含量的营销书…
逃离熟悉物体的世界，逃离固定的观看习惯，association，进入自由的无限可能的世界。抽象艺术是对大脑进化出的以survival为核心需求的观看世界方式的一种挑战，同时给充满可塑性的大脑提供了丰富的素材，让它惊奇，释放无意识，欢快地联想，深刻地共情，体验spirituality，连接到自己从未意识到的自我的一部分。观看也是一种积极的创造过程。艺术是艺术家与观者创造性的相遇，是跨越时空的魔术。
藝術家介紹的部分寫的很不錯，不懂藝術史的人也能看懂。腦部神經學以及科學的部分淺顯易懂，我不是專業人士也能理解。但整本看完有點空虛，除了拋磚引玉，不太理解作者想深刻論述的觀點。推薦給想在美術館看懂當代藝術的人看！但對於藝術/心理工作者想要應用的，個人覺得可以在科學或相關理論上多寫點東西。
很好
