'Great art has dreadful manners...' Simon Schama observes at the start of his epic exploration of the power, and whole point, of art. 'The hushed reverence of the gallery can fool you into believing masterpieces are polite things, visions that soothe, charm and beguile, but actually they are thugs. Merciless and wily, the greatest paintings grab you in a headlock, rough up your composure and then proceed in short order to re-arrange your sense of reality...' With the same disarming force, "Power of Art" jolts us far from the comfort zone of the hushed art gallery, as Schama closes in on intense make-or-break turning points in the lives of eight great artists who, under extreme stress, created something unprecedented, altering the course of art for ever. The embattled heroes - Caravaggio, Bernini, Rembrandt, David, Turner, Van Gogh, Picasso and Rothko - faced crisis with steadfast defiance. The masterpieces they created challenged convention, shattered complacency, shifted awareness and changed the way we look at the world. With powerfully vivid story-telling, Schama explores the dynamic personalities of the artists and the spirit of the times they lived through, capturing the flamboyant theatre of bourgeois life in Amsterdam, the passion and paranoia of Revolutionary Paris, and the carnage and pathos of civil-war Spain. Most compelling of all, "Power of Art" traces the extraordinary evolution of eight world-class works of art. Created in a bolt of illumination, such works 'tell us something about how the world is, how it is to be inside our skins, that no more prosaic source of wisdom can deliver. And when they do that they answer, irrefutably and majestically, the nagging question of every reluctant art-conscript...' OK, OK, but what's art really for?'

这些如天命般作品的创作，是多么不寻常的事件。但当它们出现时，这些作品仿佛暗夜中但闪电，告诉我们世界的样子，告诉我们内心的样子，任何平淡无奇的至理名言都无法传递这些东西。

如果艺术能让你快乐，是否也能让你变得善良？如果艺术能让你狂喜或伤心落泪，是否也可以让你成为一个杰出的公民？优秀的宗教画可以拯救灵魂于罪恶，现代世俗画是否同样具有如此的扭转性力量：拯救灵魂于自私？艺术的力量是否应该参与对权力的角逐？

20世纪30年代至40年代的这十年间，毕加索却不这么认为。鉴于他过去一直在艺术上坚持不屑于展示情感判断，于是，这种转变就显得很特别。他曾表示，立体派艺术的目标是，不只是画而已。“不是好，也不是真实，不是有用，也不是无用。”，这才是艺术之道。甚至是《格尔尼卡》诞生五年前，毕加索对于绘画史争议性的艺术表示不屑一顾。“我将继续保持审美性，我不去纠缠于它会不会让生活更有人情味儿。”他说

但是《格尔尼卡》表示，或者大圣呐喊除了与之相反的观点：对于现代艺术而言，没有比在肮脏的世界中恢复人性这种使命更崇高的了。作为一个普通的艺术论点，无论是传统艺术还是现代艺术，都应该给我们新鲜的感觉，让普通之物变得不普通。

艺术的力量，就是心绪不宁的惊诧所具有的力量。即使看上去是模仿，艺术却不仅仅是复制我们熟悉的世界，不是将现实艺术化去替换可见世界。艺术的使命，不仅限于传递美，更是要破坏陈腐与乏味。他发挥作用的过程确实包括用眼睛处理信息，但在那之后，一个开关就被打开了，产生另一种景象——某种戏剧化的观看方式……似乎我们的感觉设备被重新设置了。所以，有些时候，在艺术的力量的冲击下，我们当场震惊，也就不足为奇。

在天主教徒与新教徒的宗教战争中，图像不只是附带的表演，而是直指问题的核心。对于路德教徒来说，《圣经》所写的文字就是全部。

它之所以有这种符咒般的力量，或许是因为贝尼尼将某种东西的实现变得可见和可感。而如果我们足够真诚的话，我们就会知道，那正是我们都渴望获得的东西……因为后者通过艺术的力量做到了世界上最难得事情：令极乐变得可见。

'Great art has dreadful manners...' Simon Schama observes at the start of his epic exploration of the power, and whole point, of art. 'The hushed reverence of the gallery can fool you into believing masterpieces are polite things, visions that soothe, charm and beguile, but actually they are thugs.
