25、artistic expression. Cobden-Sanderson dismissed Morris's medievalizing and wrote in his Journal: We are the men of the middle and all other ages, but our</p><p> setting, actual and acquired, is differe

27、sisted, above all, that the decoration of the book cover reflect its content. More than any other binder during the period, he proclaimed necessary and special the relationship between book design and book contents. The
28、binding should be designed to enclose a specific work whose meaning, tone and character would be evoked for the reader before he opened it. For Cobden Sanderson, however, the beautiful binding was only one aspect o

30、ings were the issues central to this debate.</p><p> The book as art object</p><p> Marius Michel criticized those who admired bindings on the basis of their price, provenance or the rarity of
31、 the book. The primary function of a book cover, wrote Cobden-Sanderson, is to protect the text and is, 'an act of homage to the genius of the writer whose book is bound'. He argued that book cover decoration
32、 should be a 'tribute of the binder to the author' and not attempt to enhance the prestige of its owner. Ellen Gates Starr, who had been apprenticed with Cobden-Sanderson and shar</p><p> Writers o
33、f the period relied on two analogies to explain the function of the book cover: as an element in interior decorating, or as clothing. Books were objets d'art. Libraries in wealthy homes were treasure rooms cre

37、es such as Robert de Montesquiou also valued books as treasures to display, as elements in an interior environment designed to dazzle and inspire occupants and visitors. But he also eulogized the bookbinder Charles Meuni
38、er (1866-1940) as a 'clother of dreams', a designer of bindings that lured the viewer into the text by animating the inanimate: 'when you dress our Book/If it is mortal; make it live/Under the embossing of le
39、ather'.</p><p> Other writers of the period also drew a parallel between clothing the human figure and the author's text. Esther Wood wrote that 'the nearest analogy to the art of bookbinding is
40、 that of dress. The apparel we associate with some gracious personality, the garments of ceremonial or of daily use and wont, have their counterpart in the covering and adornment of books ....The, art of the bookbinder i

44、ose of decorated books. The Kelmscott Press's The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer ( 1896) is a massive folio of 554 pages. Considered by many bibliophiles, then and now, to be one of the greatest examples of bookmak

46、hetes such as the French bibliophile, Gustave Uzanne, it was important that a book cover be a unique creation and like any work of art, it might be exhibited in a private room or an art gallery, like a painting or a piec

51、handcrafted objects that provoked one of Thorstein Veblen's mordant diatribes. Veblen derided luxury volumes for their cost and unwieldiness, their barely legible type, exaggerated margins, use of archaic spelling an

54、needed to own many books, 'One or two beautiful things should be enough to live with, and if we limit ourselves to one or two we can generally afford to pay for them'. Yet Ellen Gates Starr's oft quoted st
55、atement, 'If I had thought it through, I would have realized that I would be using my hands to create</p><p> Ellen Mazur Thomson</p><p> books that only the rich could buy', is a
56、t variance with what she herself had written in earlier essays. Starr acknowledged what all hand binders took for granted, that her bindery could not produce books for the masses. Handcrafted books, she admitted, 'we
57、re very expensive, and the people who most deserve to have choice books, choicely bound, cannot always, or usually have them. That is to be regretted, but it is not the main question in doing any piece of work. The chief

62、精美,人們認(rèn)為那都是理所應(yīng)當(dāng)?shù)?。Sarah Wyman Whitman (1842-1904)是霍頓?米夫林公司的書籍布面裝幀的首席設(shè)計(jì)師。她在書中寫道:閱讀裝幀精美的書籍是一種美的享受。她還表示,書籍不應(yīng)僅僅被當(dāng)做一種三維的物體來進(jìn)行裝飾。</p><p> 無論我們以任何一種形式闡釋書籍,都應(yīng)該考慮到書籍本身,并將其考慮為闡釋的一部分。一本書,就其本身而言是一件不足為奇且無關(guān)他物的物體,因此,其裝飾也必須獨(dú)
63、一無二。</p><p> 對(duì)于19世紀(jì)末的藏書家而言,書籍封面美學(xué)激起了他們強(qiáng)烈的興趣,有時(shí)甚至?xí)饛?qiáng)烈的爭(zhēng)論。那時(shí)在國內(nèi)外舉辦了眾多書籍及裝幀展覽,各種報(bào)道也常見報(bào)端。關(guān)于書籍美學(xué)的歷史研究、手冊(cè)和期刊相繼在英、法、美等國出版。藏書家和裝幀商創(chuàng)辦了讀書俱樂部。為了提高書籍的裝幀質(zhì)量,美國的格羅里埃俱樂部會(huì)員甚至出資聘請(qǐng)法國大師級(jí)裝幀師到紐約經(jīng)營俱樂部。法國藏書家Henri Beraldi稱這一時(shí)期為“l(fā)e
64、 temps fameux (書籍裝幀復(fù)興之時(shí))”。</p><p> 工廠新技術(shù)使得包括書籍裝幀在內(nèi)的美學(xué)作品得以批量生產(chǎn),并且在激發(fā)人們興趣方面起到了重要作用。日常用品從鞋子、餐具,椅子到錘子都以標(biāo)準(zhǔn)尺寸和模板進(jìn)行再生產(chǎn),并在市場(chǎng)進(jìn)行統(tǒng)一定價(jià)出售。現(xiàn)代運(yùn)輸系統(tǒng)使這些物品銷往歐洲和美洲市場(chǎng)成為可能。生產(chǎn)過程改變了包括書籍在內(nèi)的個(gè)人物品的價(jià)值,其獨(dú)一無二的價(jià)值不復(fù)存在。William Morris的觀點(diǎn)得到了許
65、多設(shè)計(jì)理論家的支持,他們堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為要么使工廠制造保持工業(yè)革命前的根基,要么批量生產(chǎn)應(yīng)秉承手工制作的原則。</p><p> 德國社會(huì)學(xué)家Georg Simmel認(rèn)為市場(chǎng)大量供應(yīng)會(huì)造成隔閡和疏離感。他在書中寫道:19世紀(jì)初,各個(gè)階級(jí)的人,都怡然自得地享受他們所擁有的。然而在19世紀(jì)末,人們與物品之間的所屬關(guān)系卻成了問題,人們占有欲更加強(qiáng)烈。商品批量生產(chǎn)讓人有了更多選擇,卻也無形中壓迫他們,從眾多物品中做出選擇和如何
66、關(guān)注、使用物品,以及怎樣以更能展現(xiàn)自我的方式利用他們,這些都對(duì)人們?cè)斐闪藟浩雀小3绷髭厔?shì)的改變以及時(shí)尚和階級(jí)的關(guān)系對(duì)物品獲取和展示造成緊張。美學(xué)運(yùn)動(dòng)和之后工藝美術(shù)運(yùn)動(dòng)和新藝術(shù)主義在一定程度上可被視為對(duì)物主關(guān)系改變的回應(yīng)。</p><p> 在這種情況下,19世紀(jì)20年代,機(jī)器的快速發(fā)展使得書籍以數(shù)以百萬計(jì)產(chǎn)量出版,同時(shí)使得書籍得以布面硬殼裝幀,也稱為出版裝幀或精裝版。與其他出版商不同,美國出版商認(rèn)為布面 裝幀應(yīng)
67、具有永久性,而不是暫時(shí)性,并且認(rèn)為裝飾布面是非常重要的廣告工具。提到工業(yè)化和書籍出版大量增長時(shí),Whitman認(rèn)為這是設(shè)計(jì)者將藝術(shù)應(yīng)用于商業(yè)出版的機(jī)會(huì)。芝加哥裝幀商Ellen Gates Starr(1859-1940)表示商業(yè)設(shè)計(jì)得益于手工裝幀,因?yàn)槭止ぱb幀提供了“一個(gè)好品味的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)”范本。 隨著書籍出版增長及品質(zhì)提高,出版商和批評(píng)家希望能提出美學(xué)原則以表示其對(duì)裝幀精致的書的特殊貢獻(xiàn)。</p><p> 本文接
68、下來講述了從1880-1910年英、法、美國家有關(guān)裝幀商和編撰者的美學(xué)事宜。在此期間,各國與個(gè)體商出版了書籍裝幀史,但沒有一本得主題關(guān)于設(shè)計(jì)。同一時(shí)期,兩次關(guān)于法國現(xiàn)代文化生活的出色研究講述了書籍裝幀設(shè)計(jì)的趣味,此外,英國和美國出版商對(duì)此進(jìn)行了細(xì)節(jié)研究。然而,多數(shù)現(xiàn)代文學(xué)作品都傾向于說明或贊美書籍裝幀。至今未有任何國家間的美學(xué)交流研究。雖然精美的手工裝幀和商業(yè)布面裝幀的區(qū)別在經(jīng)濟(jì)和文化價(jià)值上相差甚大,但在設(shè)計(jì)美學(xué)上影響不大。批量生產(chǎn)書籍
69、在質(zhì)量上無法與手工裝訂書籍匹敵,但于裝飾美學(xué),二者皆可運(yùn)用,且風(fēng)格相似。個(gè)體作家傾向關(guān)注裝幀者和設(shè)計(jì)師的國籍,這與作品本身而言沒有太大關(guān)系,此點(diǎn)反映了這個(gè)時(shí)代的強(qiáng)烈的民族主義。</p><p> 這個(gè)時(shí)代存在兩個(gè)相互對(duì)立的觀念,且互相作用:一是將美學(xué)觀念傳往全世界,二是回到工業(yè)革命前的根基。19世紀(jì)中期,英國的Owen Jones提出了設(shè)計(jì)全球化,隨后Christopher Dresser也提出了這一看法,設(shè)計(jì)
70、全球化來源已久且其他國家也提出過這一概念,意為使設(shè)計(jì)不受歷史文化限制。上,這是本世紀(jì)書商都避談大家都讓步問題,這是長久的歷史遺留問題。許多人都呼吁與時(shí)代接軌,然而矛盾的是,最受敬重的改革家們卻提倡傳統(tǒng)通用的設(shè)計(jì)方式。當(dāng)William Morris研究中古世紀(jì)設(shè)計(jì),以求從當(dāng)時(shí)的政治文化中獲取靈感,他采用了那時(shí)的裝飾類型作為改革任務(wù)的一部分。他的研究同樣給予法國設(shè)計(jì)師靈感,即追溯至16世紀(jì)洛可可式裝幀以其為革新來源。他們將此與對(duì)大自然的研究
71、相結(jié)合,特別是法國鄉(xiāng)間植物。L'Ecole de Nancy(南希學(xué)校)是由法國設(shè)計(jì)師Emile Galle創(chuàng)辦的,學(xué)校也是此運(yùn)動(dòng)的成果。雖然在此期間的大多數(shù)文學(xué)作品都是國家組織撰寫的,且民族主義影響了工藝復(fù)興運(yùn)動(dòng),但是事實(shí)證明,裝幀風(fēng)格難以揭示裝幀的起源。為滿足市場(chǎng)需求,大多數(shù)裝幀工人和設(shè)計(jì)師都提出了多種風(fēng)格,只有少數(shù)創(chuàng)造出個(gè)人特色。</p><p> 英國的Thomas James Cobden
72、173; Sanderson (1840-1922)和法國的Henri Francois Marius Michel (1846--1925)做出的變革振興了書籍裝幀業(yè),這一點(diǎn)是大家公認(rèn)的。二人都反對(duì)復(fù)刻傳統(tǒng)裝幀,尋求更加凸顯個(gè)人風(fēng)格的藝術(shù)表達(dá)。Cobden Sanderson反對(duì)Morris的追溯中古設(shè)計(jì),他在日記中寫道:雖然我們已人近中年,但我們所接受的文化與成長的背景是不同的。因此,我們創(chuàng)造的作品形式也應(yīng)不盡相同。將過
73、去時(shí)代的形式強(qiáng)加到我們的時(shí)代會(huì)造成消極影響,也會(huì)使我們時(shí)代的作品成為浪費(fèi)。</p><p> Henri Marius Michel認(rèn)為首要的是,書籍封面設(shè)計(jì)要反映其內(nèi)容。相比這個(gè)時(shí)期的其他任何裝幀商,他考慮得更多的是書籍設(shè)計(jì)和內(nèi)容的必要與特殊關(guān)系。讀者能在打開書前,通過裝幀設(shè)計(jì)解讀這一作品的意義、語調(diào)和特點(diǎn)。對(duì)于Cobden Sanderson,而言,精美的裝幀只是創(chuàng)造美的一方面,如精美的書籍或理
74、想的書籍。而紙張、字體、印刷和插圖以及書籍內(nèi)的所有形式都展現(xiàn)了書籍美的方面。</p><p> 書籍設(shè)計(jì)的功能、書籍封面與內(nèi)容的關(guān)系和書籍裝幀的適當(dāng)方式都是此次辯論的中心議題。</p><p><b> 把書當(dāng)做藝術(shù)品</b></p><p> Marius Michel批評(píng)欣賞書皮時(shí)卻對(duì)其價(jià)格、出處或其稀有度耿耿于懷的人。 Cobden
75、-Sanderson, 在寫文稱,書皮的基本功用就是保護(hù)圖書文本,也是“向該本書的天才作家致敬的舉動(dòng)”。他認(rèn)為封面裝幀應(yīng)該是“對(duì)作者的褒獎(jiǎng)”,而不是借以鼓噪作者名望的方法。Ellen Gates Starr曾師從于Cobden-Sanderson,他也贊同老師關(guān)于藝術(shù)和工藝的看法。Ellen Gates Starr比他老師看得更遠(yuǎn),他指出,一旦書籍泛濫,就將只有內(nèi)容出色、個(gè)性特征鮮明有價(jià)值的書會(huì)成為掌中寶。但另一方面,Sarah Whi
76、tman卻認(rèn)為封面裝幀應(yīng)該要直指讀者喜好而非恭維作者。讀者才是買書,關(guān)心書,會(huì)對(duì)書皮裝飾有一定感覺的人,只有對(duì)他們而言,封面裝幀才是有意義的。</p><p> 這一時(shí)期的作家主要用兩種類比解釋圖書封面的功用:內(nèi)部裝飾的一部分或者起保護(hù)作用。書籍曾是藝術(shù)品。豪門家族的圖書館曾是珍藏室,盡可能多地陳列所有的書籍,僅供珍藏或者閱讀。Douglas Cockerell是 Cobden-Sanderson的第一個(gè)學(xué)生,
77、其自身也是個(gè)優(yōu)秀的圖書裝幀者和教師,他認(rèn)為圖書封面不應(yīng)該單單設(shè)計(jì)得漂亮,還應(yīng)該是其內(nèi)容的一部分。因此,圖書封面應(yīng)該被視為“周遭環(huán)境中的一抹亮點(diǎn)和出彩點(diǎn)。如果一個(gè)房間及其所有內(nèi)部物件都被刻意裝飾,那么任何“素顏出鏡”的物件都會(huì)讓人覺得釋然;但在一個(gè)沒有特殊修飾的房間里,稍微一點(diǎn)亮眼的裝飾都會(huì)讓人為之神往。</p><p> 重要的公共用書(比如圣經(jīng))封面或許會(huì)飾有很多金色圖樣以至于使其看起來像是“金裝華裹”。這些
78、書只是堂皇的基督教堂或天主教堂中一個(gè)小小的閃光點(diǎn),因此只要裝飾得體,就絕算不上是過分。</p><p> 在法國,像Robert de Montesquiou 這樣的前衛(wèi)藏書家也認(rèn)為書籍是可用于展覽的珍品,是吸引且啟發(fā)圖書所有者和參觀者的組成部分。他贊揚(yáng)裝幀商 Charles Meunier (1866-1940) 是“夢(mèng)想的外衣”。這個(gè)裝訂設(shè)計(jì)師為封面注入生命,吸引讀者翻開書頁:“當(dāng)你著上我們的書、如果書有生
79、命,它會(huì)在皮革壓花中獲得生命。</p><p> 這一時(shí)期其他的作家發(fā)現(xiàn)了人類穿衣與圖書封面之間的相似之處。Esther Wood寫文道“對(duì)圖書封面設(shè)計(jì)最貼切的比喻就是穿衣打扮。使人顯得優(yōu)雅的衣服,正式場(chǎng)合禮服或者日常著裝都可以找到與其對(duì)應(yīng)的圖書封面。圖書裝幀的藝術(shù)在于設(shè)計(jì)出一套彰顯書籍作者或其作品本色的外衣,正如著裝的藝術(shù)是為了從某種程度上表現(xiàn)出著裝著的性格或職業(yè)。 Pene du Bois也贊成這個(gè)比喻,對(duì)
80、于保守的圖書裝幀工,他批評(píng)他們生產(chǎn)的封面毫無特色:那些只是制服,絕非禮服。 這些談不上是裝幀藝術(shù),而不過是帶有所有權(quán)的標(biāo)識(shí)或慣常設(shè)計(jì)的封面裝飾技術(shù)罷了。他認(rèn)為圖書裝訂藝術(shù)就是,通過封面構(gòu)圖設(shè)計(jì),在讀者心中創(chuàng)造作者期望的心境。</p><p> 讀者也可能會(huì)對(duì)反映自身心境的封面有感覺,就像奧斯卡 王爾德書中的主人公道林格雷一樣, </p><p> “他至少從巴黎買了九份第一版書的摹本,

83、能一覽全頁。文本是深黑色和深紅色哥特風(fēng)格,使用Chaucer 學(xué)者重新編排的拼寫系統(tǒng),但這種系統(tǒng)既沒有完全忠于Chaucer的拼寫方法,也不適用于現(xiàn)代讀者。不過對(duì)于很多人而言,這是當(dāng)被視作奇跡永遠(yuǎn)紀(jì)念的榮譽(yù)出品。裝幀著William Dana Orcut寫</p><p> 同樣地,對(duì)于 唯美主義者(如法國的藏書家Gustave Uzanne)而言,圖書封面像藝術(shù)品一樣獨(dú)一無二非常重要,可陳列在私人展室或者藝?yán)?/p>

85、Gillot采用彩色鉛印術(shù)完成,這種新型平板印刷術(shù)是印刷技術(shù)的一次進(jìn)步,史無前例地將文本和制圖完美結(jié)合。文本以20世紀(jì)法國歌曲de geste of Renaut de Montauban為基礎(chǔ),歌曲是關(guān)于中世紀(jì)時(shí)期查理曼大帝宮廷中四兄弟的故事。</p><p> Charles Marcilly為其編寫引言和注釋。和同時(shí)期其他書籍一樣,它也是以livre de luxe版本和更大的商業(yè)版本發(fā)行。這對(duì)Gillo
86、t而言是巨大的責(zé)任和技術(shù)挑戰(zhàn),是對(duì)Grasset的長期追隨,對(duì)出版商而言也是一場(chǎng)豪賭。一開始,消費(fèi)大眾并不關(guān)注書籍,但 Beraldi指出,Marius-Michel自愿發(fā)行15種裝幀樣板,他的學(xué)生Charles Meunie,也裝幀了近40種。由于 Marius Michel身份地位顯赫,很快就引起了公眾關(guān)注,書籍立馬變?yōu)闀充N品。書皮采用鑲嵌繪制皮革,彰顯中世紀(jì)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)和紋章的概念。</p><p> 這些英法皮
87、革書皮是手工藝品的典范,引發(fā)了Thorstein Veblen的諷刺。他鄙視裝幀奢華的書籍,因?yàn)檫@類書籍又昂貴又笨重,通常都采用夸張的邊緣裝飾,拼寫浮夸,書頁通常都沒有切開(開頁很大)。他們懷念工業(yè)革命前,機(jī)器時(shí)代以前裝飾得體的版本,他寫道“實(shí)現(xiàn)了突出的浪費(fèi)”。也就是說,這種風(fēng)格的書籍或許漂亮,但設(shè)計(jì)者要解決的其內(nèi)部的局限性又不是美學(xué)成分決定的。如果書籍外觀精美,那么它一定花費(fèi)不菲卻并不值價(jià)。</p><p>
88、 當(dāng)然,社會(huì)學(xué)者對(duì)Arts and Crafts的同情與裝幀精美的書籍是不可調(diào)和的。Cobden-Sanderson不贊同這種觀點(diǎn),他說道,沒有人需要很多書,如果我們將自身局限于一兩個(gè)本能夠支付得起的書籍,那么一兩本精美讀物足矣。而 Ellen Gates Starr認(rèn)為,如果我想曾思維清晰。我就會(huì)自己親手制作只有有錢人才能買得起的Ellen Mazur Thomson,這與她從前在文章中所表達(dá)的態(tài)度有些出入。Starr意識(shí)到所有圖書裝
89、幀商都覺得理所當(dāng)然的一件事,就是她的裝幀廠產(chǎn)出的書籍并不符合大眾需求。她承認(rèn),手工制作的書籍確實(shí)很貴,而人們?cè)诳梢赃x擇書目或裝幀的情況下,通常很少選擇這類書籍。這很讓人遺憾,但這卻不是制作藝術(shù)品主要的問題。最大的問題是在于一件作品的價(jià)值體現(xiàn)在何處。</p><p> 當(dāng)一本書是由手工制作而成時(shí),設(shè)計(jì)者、圖書和所有者之間的潛在關(guān)系是最緊密的,但隨著圖書不斷再版,手工裝幀商甚至開始通過圖書經(jīng)銷商出售書籍而不是直接與
