驚悚的秘密

前幾天, BBC 播出了＜＜藝術家秘密的生活＞＞, 是我欣賞的藝術史家 Andrew Graham-Dixon 談荷蘭畫家維梅爾, 整整一小時, 用理性兼感性的方式, 像偵探一樣, 去挖掘藝術家背後的故事

維梅爾是我最愛的藝術家之一, 起於2001年在倫敦看的一個維梅爾大展... 那時, 真讓我開了眼界, 從此, 他的畫一直活在我的心裡 
我2009年出版了<<藝術家和他們的女人>>, 去年也出版一本<<藝術, 背後的故事>>, 特別述說他的兩幅畫＜身穿藍衣讀信的女子＞, ＜戴珍珠耳環的少女＞.... 世上, 很少有一位藝術家能像他一樣, 這麼懂女子的心理
Andrew Graham-Dixon.... 挖掘了維梅爾一個很 "驚悚" 的秘密, 值得從頭看到尾 .... (Youtube 的這片, 切了四段) 完整的在此:　http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0074pym

Well-done, Andrew！！！

Babettes Gæstebud （芭比的盛宴）

剛在看BBC 介紹莫札特　《唐·喬望尼》（Don Giovanni）.... 　裡面有一段男女對唱　La Ci Darem La Mano...  

讓我想到小時看過的丹麥電影（芭比的盛宴）... 好美的一幕

(人相愛的時刻, 是世間最美好的事了)

＊＊　
這女孩... 不該順從父親....　應該跟這音樂老師私奔才對, 這是我從看這電影那刻, 到現在, 都還持有的想法

大偵探波洛的落幕....

雖然沒讀偵探小說, 但就是愛看偵探影集, 這要晚上看才精彩....

阿嘉莎·克莉絲蒂(Agatha Christie)的<<大偵探波洛>>(Poirot)是經典之作, 電視劇, 前一陣子播出最後一系列, 我從頭到尾都看完了, 大偵探波洛生命也真的落幕了, 讓我也跟著嘆息!

值得說的是, 最後一集很出乎意料之外, 破案發生在大偵探波洛死後....

裸女的躺臥

 

若問誰創造了"裸女躺臥"美學的原型呢?

一幅1510年〈沉睡維納斯〉（“Sleeping Venus”）, 這兒斜躺一位裸女，從左上滑溜到右下， 右手臂上揚, 左手撫摸腹股溝, 靜靜的沉睡, 她凹凸有致的曲線, 跟山丘的景致形成了一種呼應.....
 
很 original, 不是嗎?

是畫家吉奧喬尼(Giorgione)從自然裡，找到了美的地形與有機狀態，然後，激發之餘，再畫人身的姿態、線條，及豐腴的身體, 但，畫到一半，1510年, 吉奧喬尼就過世了，接下來，堤香(Titian)承襲完成此畫的責任, 堤香繪製的程序剛好跟吉奧喬尼相反，他是根據此女子的理想形體，畫下優美的天空與風景。

兩位威尼斯畫派的畫家-- 吉奧喬尼(Giorgione) & 堤香(Titian), 一起合力, 創造裸女躺臥美學的原型.... 後生晚輩就這樣, 繼續模擬下去...

完成或未完成

正在撰寫義大利文藝復興畫家堤香(Titian)的畫作...

這讓我想到, 最近跟一位畫家談畫, 他告訴我怎麼畫都不滿意, 一直修修改改, 有時很沮喪...., 怎樣鼓勵他呢? 於是, 說到了一些過去藝術家碰到的類似情況, 像羅丹, 堤香..., 不輕易承認做完，來來回回，無數次的，加進新的想法，不厭倦的更改、修飾，他們認為偉大的藝術品從未被完成，總有改善的空間

堤香晚年, 受到古羅馬詩人歐維德（Ovid）的《變形記》啟發，畫了一系列, "變形"的畫面, 很精彩, 其中一張〈阿克特翁之死〉（“The Death of Actaeon”） , 是遺作, 16年才完成; 至於羅丹, 他的巨作<地獄之門>, 猜猜花了多久? 37年....

不正反映了完美主義者的心理狀態嗎!

長時間的凝視 ....

一位父親 Frans Hofmeester ... 自女兒 Lotto 一出生, 每星期為她攝影, 現在她已經14歲了, 他將這些剪編, 弄成四分鐘的影片

 這讓我想到李.米樂自小, 父親就為她拍攝 (不同擺姿的裸身), 直到20多歲

這也讓我想到美國攝影家Alfred Stieglitz(1864 – 1946) , 也有類似的點子.... 他為女兒與情人(妻子)喬治亞·歐姬芙（Georgia Totto O'Keeffe）定期拍了許多照片, 最後結集起來, 稱 "a portrait"... 

像畫肖像一樣, 時間是拉長的, 長時間的觀察, 凝視, 與了解

it's so sweet .... I like to call it a photographic portrait ... it reminds me of the photographer Alfred Stieglitz's idea
