西洋画展览厅里的故事


时候记载这章了,虽然这艺术展览已经落幕,但是在新加坡国家博物馆举办的Princely Treasures From The House of Liechtenstein展览之回忆是难得又回味,在此就记下自己印象深刻的事物。趁国庆日和博物馆的开放日到来,还有自己幸运赢得参与展览Rubens in War and Peace讲座的入门票,我总共到过这展览该有三次以上吧,不多不少每次都吸收到新知识。展览为期长达三个月左右,若没有把握机会好好参观一番,那就得付十块新币入门票进去。


简略介绍一下关于这西洋画和艺术品的展览吧。多幅来自Prince of Liechtenstein的文艺复兴和巴洛克艺术品收藏在画廊中作展示,当中不仅包括了Rubens Raphael等一众当时著名画家们的西洋画作,而且还有看似富丽堂皇的雕刻,挂毯艺术品等,的确会让参观者大开眼界。这艺术展览给人的感觉就像身处于欧洲风情的博物馆,欣赏珍贵的艺术品还有西洋画,渐渐有种错觉自己的气质好象是提升了许多(笑,幻想吧)。


据自己从这展览中吸收到的美术史知识,巴洛克(Baroque),该词源于葡萄牙语单词barroco,有着“形状不规则的珍珠”的意思。这艺术风格指的是1600年至1750年间一种泛欧艺术风格。这风格画作的特点在于画家们使用了丰富的颜色和夸张,大胆与富有动感的构图,而画中人物的动作极具戏剧化效果,明显的光与暗对比更使画作更有魅力。巴洛克风格的画作主题多围绕于宗教与希腊神话,但是随着不同时期和区域划分,渐渐有着以风景和静物为主题的画作出现。


观赏过《HUGO》电影,都对里头的自动机器 (automatons) 产生好奇心。听说在好久以前的欧洲,19世纪的人们都着迷于自动机器。的确很难想象当时是怎样制造如此那么仔细设计和美感十足的机械。眼前这是骑在雄鹿上的月神-戴安娜的有发条装置饮酒器,常用在饮酒游戏中。真是很想知道那是怎样的玩意儿。。。


除了画家,还有其他行业如雕刻家也同样在他们的作品注入巴洛克风,就好像这Filippo Parodi的《恶的寓言》,身负铁链和哀伤表情的男子半身像。这尊半身像代表神话里的提堤俄斯。关于这半身像的故事:他对提坦勒托产生了强烈的情欲,并企图强奸她,因而她的孩子阿波罗太阳神和黛安娜月神杀死。提堤俄斯在死后被打入冥界,被两只巨鹰不停地啄食他的内脏。


到那一趟绝对不能错过的就是精彩的希腊神话故事,从月神黛安娜与太阳神阿波罗诞生的故事开始到其他相关希腊英雄的故事都是这展览的其中卖点之一。只要细读解说就能把多个相关的故事连接起来成一段精彩的希腊神话。想知道更多故事,回家上网重新搜寻一番,毕竟希腊神话的确很精彩也很复杂,并非几幅画作和说明就能知道全部的故事。


喜欢的艺术品大小都有,有大理石的雕像也有制作得精细的箱子,想不到在那里可以看到维纳斯女神的雕像,那黄金比列的轮廓和优美的动态,实在是很美。如此雕像耸立在画廊的正中央与其他画作相互衬托,仿佛成了另一个画廊里的“花(画)园”,唯一缺少的就是许愿池的泉涌吧。


看了那么多幅巴洛克风格的西洋画,最吸引我的会是来自于Peter Paul Rubens的布面油画《Mars and Rhea Silvia》。这幅画正好呈现了此艺术风格的夸张与异常的构图还有那鲜艳的色彩。画中场景是圣殿,右方是永恒不灭的圣火,后方有智慧与战争女神雅典娜。我很喜欢它的故事,描述了战神马尔斯(Mars)趁守护贞洁之火的西尔维雅(Rhea Silvia)祭司熟睡之际,征服了她。之后,西尔维雅生下了一对双胞胎。我觉得画中的两个丘比特天使好象就是双胞胎还没投胎转世前的摸样吧,这只是我个人对此画乱猜测而已。


除了希腊神话还有取自《圣经》里的故事而创作的西洋画。另一幅吸引我的目光是Guido Reni的《圣抹大拉》。画中圣徒的表情充满有种莫名的好奇心,仰望着什么呢?望着谁呢?细读了解说才知道画中人物是耶稣复活后,她是第一个得知耶稣身份的人。或许在她面前的会是耶稣。。。


望着以静物为主题的画作,不知不觉会回想很久以前中学时候常接触的绘画题目,那是一种最能呈现光与暗对比的主题作品。光线捕捉得准确会让人感受其美感和栩栩如生的感觉。看着指南,那里是这样说明的:起初,独立的静物画有助说教,而画作里的器物赐予一定的象征意义。后来,画家更关注所描绘静物带来的美感,静物画的装饰作用逐渐取代了画作的道德宣扬作用。原来静物画是有一段这样由来的故事~


听说很久以前当有些富有人家周游欧洲后,他们会聘请画家把他们的所见所闻画下来,形成了一幅多处不同的建筑物集中在一起的风景画作。因此,无论是罗马的斗兽场还是威尼斯的建筑物都在同一空间里,构图协调与色彩调合,除了当作旅游纪念品外,也能向人炫耀自己的游历。这类画作好像是被称作视图画(Vedute or view paintings)。


最后一处是让参观者体会静物绘画的地方,应该在指定时间会有专人示范还是教导吧?除此之外,在那参观者还能从美术史的Timeline chart中了解某某画作的年份。其实不仅只是巴洛克艺术,参观者还有机会了解其他相关知识,从意大利绘画风格到新古典主义等,当然不说之后还有更多名画出现。其实美术史如其他历史一样,不同艺术时期不少艺术品诞生,收入的故事无论是画中还是画外都可以让爱好美术者沉溺。


当自己一个人来,坐在某名画前,听着古典音乐,好陶醉,感受那种像是时间停住一刻的感觉。那是陶醉于视觉美术世界的美好,并且幻想要是那里真是巴黎罗浮宫的话,挺好的。讲真,庆幸自己有机会到此参观,欣赏到艺术又学到知识,虽然并不是全然都记得,但是怎样都是重新上了一堂不错的美术史课。希望下次博物馆又会为美术爱好者带来其他像这样有关美术史的展览,特别是某某著名欧洲画家生涯的。
