边学边卖审美快餐-Color Field Movement
Untitled Purple, White and Red, 1953, by Mark Rothko
Color Field 类的作品大家一定不陌生。Color Field 始于1940s in New York, 属于现代抽象主义和表现主义运动的一部分。但是”Color Field“本身没有特别含意。正如画家Jules Olitski所说:
“I don't know what Color Field painting means. I think it was probably invented by some critic, which is okay, but I don't think the phrase means anything. Color Field painting? I mean, what is color? Painting has to do with a lot of things. Color is among the things it has to do with. It has to do with surface. It has to do with shape, It has to do with feelings which are more difficult to get at.”
以这幅马克·罗斯科的画为例,这类作品注重精神内涵的表达。他力图通过有限的色彩和极少的形状来反映深刻的象征意义。马克·罗斯科认为,现今西方文明根植于西方的传统文化,尤其是希腊文化。希腊悲剧精神中人与自然、个体与群体之间的冲突,正是人的基本生存状态的写照。他说,“我对色彩与形式的关系以及其他的关系并没有兴趣……我感兴趣的只是表达人的基本情绪,悲剧的,狂喜的,毁灭的等等,许多人能在我的画前悲极而泣的事实表明,我的确传达出了人类的基本感情,能在我的画前落泪的人就会有和我在作画时所具有的同样的宗教体验。”
我个人认为,欣赏艺术不是单纯的去听或看。关键是keep an open mind, 只有这样艺术作品才有可能与你沟通和影响你的心灵。有时一件作品不能引起你的共鸣,但不会永远是这样。就象年轻时不大会能领会到古典著作的深层含意,而日后再读则豁然开朗。
