「藝術的目的不在於呈現事物的外在表象，而是揭示它們的內在意義。」──亞里斯多德
★你可能對廣泛的「藝術」有興趣，但沒有到想深入研究的地步。
★或許你希望了解一些「經典畫作」，然而太多大師了，不知道如何開始。
★你只是一般人，只有上過水彩課，但也想要感受「美」是什麼……
受到各時期社會、政治、宗教和經濟環境的影響，藝術的目的不斷改變。它可以是裝飾性的、敘事性、哲學性、宗教性，或者只是娛樂性的；無論是為了享受、激發想像力、觸發情感，還是傳遞某種訊息，它們總是在記錄或反映它的時代。
即使是打破既定傳統的作品，所有藝術家都會反映自身在歷史中的時間和地點；因此，藝術會幫助我們認識人類如何看待自己。
幾乎所有社會都創造了某種形式的藝術。它不整齊、不有序；它重疊、變化、交叉影響。它從來都不是在真空中製造的，有時可能會讓人感到困惑。而這就是本書的功能：如果對藝術有興趣，你可以先知道這些就好！
▌探索藝術的第一步
主要關注西方藝術的發展，介紹了從史前到現今最重要的藝術運動、風格和發展。分析最具開創性藝術家創作的一些重要作品，並研究許多藝術家的主題、材料和方法。
▌簡單易懂的藝術指南
四個獨立部分：運動、作品、主題和技巧。每個部分都可以單獨閱讀，也可以與其他部分結合。本書的核心——作品／關鍵日期／關鍵發展／主題和技術的交叉引用／藝術家背景資訊／關鍵藝術家／藝術家的其他重要作品——收錄了著名藝術家的50件重要作品。
▌輕鬆穿梭藝術時代
每頁底部都有交叉引用，引導讀者從一個部分到另一個部分，而功能框則討論了關鍵發展和每位藝術家的背景。瞬間掌握各種藝術超連結，就像閱讀紙本的維基百科！
藝術如何、為何、何時變化？是誰引進了某些概念或技法，在何處被創作？以及這些藝術作品為何如此重要？
從史前時代壁畫到當代裝置藝術，探索50個重要的藝術作品，連結到各個藝術時期、主題以及技法。
無論你是對藝術充滿興趣的新手，還是渴望更深入了解的愛好者，本書都將帶給你啟發和樂趣。透過簡單明瞭的內容設計和豐富的圖示引導，你將輕鬆掌握藝術的基礎知識，並能在探索中體驗到藝術的無限魅力。

Absorbs into the skin well and no irritation so far
I bought this Cyperus Rotundus oil to try out, and the 1.85 oz bottle is a good size for me. The oil has a light botanical scent that is pleasant and not too strong. I have applied it a few times and found that it is very easy to use with the included dropper. It absorbs into the skin well and I have noticed no irritation at all, which is important for my daily routine.
The bottle arrived quickly and was packaged securely so there were no leaks. It is a practical addition to my shelf, and the glass container feels solid. This product does exactly what it says on the label and provides a straightforward way to use a natural oil. It is a functional and simple purchase that meets my needs perfectly.

Smooth skin without the post-shave itch
I’ve always had issues with my skin feeling super irritated after I shave my legs, so I started applying this Cyperus Rotundus oil right after hopping out of the shower. The quality of the blend is impressive—it’s got jojoba and almond oil too, so it feels very nourishing rather than just sitting on top of the skin. It absorbs quickly enough that I can put on my leggings and head to the gym without feeling like a greaseball.
The functionality as a hair inhibitor is a nice bonus. I’ve noticed the hair on my shins seems to be coming back a bit softer and less stubbly than before. For a 55 ml bottle, the value for money is solid since you only need a few drops to cover a large area. It’s a great find for anyone who deals with that annoying sandpaper feeling a day after waxing. My roommate even started using it on her arms because it’s fragrance-free and doesn't mess with her perfume.

Lightweight oil that fits into a simple routine
I started using this oil as part of my regular skincare routine, mainly applying it to areas like my arms and face after showering. The texture feels light and spreads easily without leaving a heavy residue. I noticed it absorbs fairly quickly, which makes it convenient for daily use. It also has a mild scent that is not overwhelming. I like that it includes plant based ingredients, and it leaves my skin feeling soft after application.

It works!
Item form: Tablet
I have used this once about a month ago. Did as the directions said, using 2 tablets. My garbage disposal smelled awful before using. These took the smell away and still has had no bad a smell after 4 weeks of using!
