　　"Gombrich (1909-2001) had a gift for clear, conversational language, a narrative approach, and an interest in pop culture--he even included mass media and cartoons in The Story of Art. The book, which receives high praise in the CAA report [a recent assessment of art history textbooks by the College Art Association], is today the world's best selling art history textbook, with total sales of 8 million copies." -Art News, February 2006
　　
　　E.H. Gombrich's warm, lively, opinionated--yet never patronizing--authorial voice brings history to life in a way that attracts both adults and young readers alike. Last year the first English translation of A Little History of the World, originally written in 1935 in German, was a surprise publishing success. Yet, this isn't even Gombrich's most popular work. The Story of Art has sold over 8 million copies, has been translated into more than 30 languages and served as the standard introduction to art history for students around the world for the past century. Now, the book will be available in a new affordable format, in wide release for the general public, just in time for the holidays.
　　
　　Phaidon Press is pleased to announce the publication of THE STORY OF ART: POCKET EDITION by E.H. Gombrich, a re-designed, re-formatted compact edition of one of the best-known and best-loved books on art ever written. This new edition combines smoothly flowing text with a clear, simple design in a convenient and accessible format. The new edition allows this classic work to continue its triumphant progress for another generation, and to remain the first choice for all newcomers to art.
　　
　　Phaidon Press commissioned Gombrich during World War II to write a history of art for young people. In 1950, The Story of Art was published and so a classic was born. Gombrich dictated the whole text from memory, using illustrations from books in his library as prompts. The outcome was a seminal work of criticism and one of the most accessible introductions to the visual arts. Starting with the cave paintings at Lascaux and stretching as far as Postmodernism, the whole of art history is presented as a chronological narrative. Using vivid imagery, storytelling and sly humor, Gombrich's voice draws in all--the student, connoisseur, or amateur.
　　
　　The Story of Art has always been admired for two key qualities: it is a pleasure to read and a pleasure to handle. The pocket edition is no exception. With this new edition this classic work is now as accessible as the story inside. Gombrich's extraordinary knowledge and wisdom will continue to teach and inspire generation after generation.
　　
　　
　　Phaidon Press has produced a much-improved edition of Sir Ernst Gombrich's classic narrative study of art history, which was first published in 1950. Among the many competing introductory texts?the central monuments of which are H.W. Janson's History of Art (Prentice, 1986. 4th. ed.) and Helen Gardner's Art Through the Ages (4th ed. o.p.)?Gombrich's venerable work has inhabited a unique niche, having been created specifically for newcomers to art. As his title indicates, he presents the whole of art history as a chronological narrative. Gombrich's voice is lively, opinionated, and almost conversational, yet his erudition shines through to make a book that is both accessible and informative. His premise, that the love of art, not the love of history, is the appropriate basis for its study is communicated directly with his irrepressible enthusiasm for certain masters and his passionate exasperation with 20th century nonobjective artists. While much of the text is unchanged, the format has been completely redesigned with vastly expanded illustrations, improved captions, better charts and an excellent index. This book belongs on every art-lover's bedside table, and even those libraries owning an earlier edition would not regret adding this refinement of an already first-rate work.
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Douglas F. Smith, Oakland P.L., Cal.
　　
　　
　　Gombrich's The Story of Art has been a treasured standard in the field, selling more than 4 million copies since its first edition in 1950. Now in its 16th edition and available for the first time in paperback, this comprehensive look at Western art from prehistoric times on up to the present has been completely redesigned and extensively revised and updated. In addition, the illustrations have all been enhanced, and a total of 443 are now in color. Gombrich is more than an authority, he's an advocate, and his love and deep respect for art infuse his invigorating text. In his discussion of twentieth-century art, for instance, Gombrich explains how even the most experimental contemporary art is connected in some way to what has gone before. Gombrich tells the story of art "as the story of a continuous weaving and changing of traditions in which each work refers to the past and points to the future." Gombrich's invaluable history is a veritable celebration of this "living chain."
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Donna Seaman
　　
　　Enjoy the most famous book on art ever published: an overview which covers the entire subject, from early cave paintings to modern experimental art. This has been revamped for the first time since 1972, offering larger illustrations, more color, and improved text and coverage. Highly recommended.

一部真正的艺术史
张公子(非官方偏见)

比较了李春的《西方美术史》教程和德比奇等人著的《西方艺术史》，就是贡布里希给我的收获最大。也难怪会有出到十六版，要不是他在1995年过世，我们还会看到他最新的补记呢。李春的是典型美院式的教材，用马克思主义的唯物史观一一分析了艺术流派和艺术家产生的社会历史条件，而对于艺术本身并不能给人以直接明了的概念，到底为何艺术家...... (10回应)

《艺术的故事》VS《艺术发展史》
桃子依旧(又是一年了......)

有很多同学分不清《艺术的故事》和《艺术发展史》之间的关系。我想有必要在这里说明一下下。 The Story of Art这本书最早翻译于上世纪80年代，那时候中国还没加入任何国际版权公约组织。翻译者范景中老师除了是一位优秀的翻译，还是美术史家，他在翻译这本书的过程中，有许多自己的理解和感受，因此图书出版的时候就作...... (69回应)

只有艺术家，没有设计师
侯亮(naowan.com,闹玩不是闹着玩)

贡布里希在《艺术的故事》导论中，第一句话就说：“实际上没有艺术这种东西，只有艺术家而已。”是否可以演绎一下：在产品设计领域，没有设计师这种东西，只有设计而已。【原文，含图，欢迎交流：http://www.naowan.com/archives/2009/06/12/507】最让设计师崩溃的事情，是你辛辛......

http://www.douban.com/subject/1059969/ 港版《艺术的故事》，范景中·译，尽管文章第一句几乎已经成了译文信达雅的标准反例，但总体来说翻译还不错。这个版本印刷也算精美。但港版书国内不好买，而且贵，比原版还贵。另外台版好像也出过，在豆瓣没找到链接。同样难买。前几天居...... (4回应)

故事化了的艺术史
猪罗罗

看了《艺术的故事》，仿佛又找到了当年大逛博物馆时的感觉。不同的是那时更多的是看热闹，图新奇，而现在是通过学习获得对那些艺术珍品、艺术思想观念发展的更深入的认识。学习是件比猎奇更有乐趣的事情，尤其是学习自己并不很懂的领域。贡布里希这部书的定位是给15岁以上的艺术史入门学习者，我就是这个行列中的一员。以......

边读边写
容若(我爱勃拉姆斯（最近）。)

之前看过几本艺术史的书，都是当工具书使，Gombrich的这本书，正如其书名一样，是本故事书，是一本关于艺术的故事书。我窃以为写介绍性史书（一切形式的历史，艺术史，音乐史等等）难的不是怎样写得面面俱到，而是如何在最短的阅读时间里给予读者以最大化的信息，且具有趣味性。Gombrich做到了这一点，至少反应在我今天看过的两......

在基础教学中如何应用
flyart

该书有两条线索，一个是所知；一个是所见。他与沃尔弗林的《艺术风格学》的线性和模糊对应。说得再直接些就是结构与明暗；这介于我们得基础教学挂上钩了，如果我们研究结构就找所知哪一部分，如果研究明暗就找所见哪一部分，它的指导意义会更直接；当然的事的著作不仅于此......

翱翔的小狐狸(虽然每天很忙但还是空虚~)

内容没得说，贡布里希以他高屋建瓴又浅显易懂的方式给我们介绍了欣赏艺术的态度，各个时期民族的艺术特点。这本书是喜欢艺术的读者值得收藏的，如果是精装就好了建议搭配《全球通史》来读，有更深刻的理解在当当花了两百多买下，看其内容还是很值的。......

在佛罗伦萨的乌菲茨看到过这本书的意大利语版，装帧和印刷都不错，但苦于自己不懂意大利语只好做罢。这是一部真正写给对艺术感兴趣的人的书，一点也不哗众取宠，故弄玄虚，艺术和其他事物一样，也是可以用很朴素的话语来述说的。......
