對於初學者來說，藝術史可能是一門令人生畏的學科，其中包含複雜的規則和難以理解的術語。即使對於更有經驗的藝術愛好者而言，如何思考藝術也是一個長期難題。本書是這兩類受眾的完美資源：它是一本引人入勝的視覺入門書，適合一般讀者以及教育工作者；書籍的編排設計得像是一本使用手冊，從世界各地選取了50幅關鍵藝術作品，以簡潔的解釋、圖表和特寫來解構這些作品，用以揭示構成一幅傑作的各種元素。
本書選取的作品從古至今，來自多個文化，涵蓋了所有形式的視覺媒材，包括繪畫、插圖、攝影、版畫和雕塑。作者Matthew Wilson運用已確立的藝術史方法，使讀者能夠了解藝術史的基本知識，從功能、歷史背景、圖像學和藝術家的經驗等方面，到更廣泛的身份議題，包括女性主義、性別和後殖民主義等。無論是圖坦卡蒙的面具、攝影家多蘿西‧蘭格(Dorothea Lange)拍攝的《移民媽媽》(Migrant Mother)、北齋的《大浪》、還是女性主義藝術家卡拉‧沃克(Kara Walker)的《消失》(Gone)，每幅圖像都直截了當地在書頁上直接進行剖析，並附有註釋，詳細說明藝術家的靈感來源、相關風格和運動，以及任何相關報導、相關視覺材料和其他上下文及議題的相關訊息，並提供關鍵字以便方便交叉參考。這本書是一個動態的、視覺化的資源，能夠激發人們對各種藝術形式的喜愛和享受。
For beginners, art history might seem a daunting subject with complex rules and impenetrable technical language. Even for more seasoned art lovers the question of how to think about art is a perennial riddle. Art Unpacked is the perfect resource for both audiences: an engaging, visual primer for the general reader, as well as educators. Designed like an instruction manual, fifty key artworks from around the world are deconstructed with pithy explanations, diagrams and close-ups, in order to reveal the elements that make up a masterpiece.
Dating from the earliest times to the present, the artworks under analysis are drawn from many cultures, and cover all forms of visual media including: drawing, illustration, photography, prints and sculpture. Matthew Wilson’s simplicity of approach, using established art historical methods, enables the reader to discover the fundamentals of art history, from considerations of function, historical context, iconography and artists’ experience, to broader issues of identity including feminism, gender and postcolonialism. Whether it’s the mask of Tutankhamun or Dorothea Lange’s photograph of Migrant Mother, Hokusai’s Great Wave or Kara Walker’s Gone, each image is dissected on the page in a no-nonsense style, with explanatory notes detailing artists’ sources of inspiration, associated styles and movements, plus any relevant quotes, related visuals and other contextual and issue-led information with keywords for handy cross-referencing. The resulting book is a dynamic, visual resource that will inspire and spark enjoyment of art in all its forms.
