This Is Matisse

內容簡介

內容簡介 了解野獸派鼻祖馬蒂斯的完整入門書。這位非科班出生，原本學習法律的法國畫家，在母親的支持下，並受到當時尚未出名的梵谷作品的影響，啟發了他將印象派元素融入自己畫作中，再慢慢發展出自己大膽、濃郁，不重視細節的畫風，創造出野獸派的狂暴畫法。這個開創野獸派畫風的畫家，作品從早起的熱烈到中晚期的溫暖，以及運用繁複剪紙的圖騰，顯現與他生活冷漠孤僻迥然不同的一面。他六十年的藝術生涯，作品無數，每一幅作品都超越自我，不斷挑戰人類如何感知顏色與感覺的感受力。Laurence King Publishing出版系列畫家叢書，80頁篇幅介紹畫家生平與作品，內容淺顯卻精要，是為了解藝術家的絕佳入門書。在二十世紀現代主義的歷史上，亨利馬諦斯(Henri Matisse)，可以說是掀起巨浪的天才改革家。他本是經過嚴謹的法國學院畫風訓練，可他卻被印象派所吸引，深受塞尚的影響，透過多變的顏色與線條，來減低對於細節的過度描繪，勾勒出新的視覺美感。馬諦斯成了野獸派的先驅，因為一幅戴帽子的女人，而出現了Fauves一詞，即野獸，並對現代藝術造成空前的新流派。但他並不是特別喜歡被歸類於某一種學院風格或是派別。雖然曾有人質疑，藝術家那種天真，令人感到厭惡，甚至是掙扎中的靈魂，也同樣令人生厭，但馬諦斯仍在他將近六十年的繪畫生涯中，不斷超越，創造出一幅幅動人的畫作。每一個作品都在挑戰觀眾的視覺，及對顏色的定義。此系列作品已經推出過安迪沃荷、塞尚、梵谷、達利等藝術家，為讀者打造全方位的藝術新知。本書由凱瑟琳(Catherine Ingram)主筆，畢業於格拉斯哥大學，在倫敦科陶德藝術學院完成19世紀藝術的碩士後，她繼續到牛津大學當研究生學者。豐富的藝術學經歷，讓讀著更容易接近馬諦斯。In the history of twentieth century modernism, Henri Matisse is a calm and unstoppable revolution of creative genius. Trained originally in the French classical manner, he was inspired by the Impressionists and Cezanne to create in a style that brought out the beauty of colour, form and line by reducing them to their essentials. While considered a leader of the Fauves and an inspiration to most of the great figures in modern art, he wasn't particularly interested in being associated with any particular school or trend. A family man who worked 'office hours' in his studio he defies the image of the artist as enfant terrible or tortured soul. In a career spanning six decades, he produced masterpiece after masterpiece that constantly challenge how we perceive color and form.
