「L'OUVRE 9 打開 羅浮宮九號@臺南Tainan」特展正在台南文化中心盛大展出!
傳統藝術分類裡,漫畫不在「八大藝術」內。但羅浮宮卻以開放胸襟,擁抱漫畫「第九藝術」。多年來陸續邀請歐洲、日本等地的知名漫畫家前往取材,讓他們的想像力自由馳騁在博物館裡。
本次展出的11位歐洲與日本漫畫家作品包括原作與複製品,多達208件。深受台灣讀者歡迎、影響日本現代漫畫甚深的《JoJo的奇妙冒險》作者-荒木飛呂彥先生的作品也有複製品參展。
荒木飛呂彥先生著名的構圖特色為人物誇張扭曲的姿勢,時常成為台、日時下年輕人KUSO、模仿的對象;透過展出創作,漫畫迷們能更了解其創作特色與羅浮宮收藏作品的關聯性。
歡迎市民朋友與漫畫迷們千萬不要錯過這個難得機會,來到台南文化中心觀賞這個充滿想像與創意的特展!

Thomas Cole (American, 1801-48), View on the Catskill—Early Autumn; “The Voyage of Life: Manhood” and “The Voyage of Life: Old Age,” both 1842,


Thomas Cole, "Sunrise in the Catskills," 1826, oil on canvas, National Gallery of Art, Washington, Gift of Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd, in Honor of the 50th Anniversary of the National Gallery of Art



Happy birthday to Thomas Cole, born on this day in 1801. Cole was enraptured by the mountains, crags, and verdant valleys that rim the Hudson River in upstate New York and spent much of his time at his house near the town of Catskill, on the banks of Catskill Creek.http://met.org/1Q7g5uM
Thomas Cole (American, 1801–1848) | View on the Catskill—Early Autumn | 1836–37



Today we continue our examination of Thomas Cole’s “The Voyage of Life.” Begin by looking closely at the third picture in this series, “The Voyage of Life: Manhood.” What do you notice?
Nature's fury, evil demons, and self-doubt threaten the voyager in “Manhood.” As Cole said, “The helm of the boat is gone”; the voyager has lost control of his life. Do you agree? The angel looks down from the clouds as he is whirled toward violent rapids and bare, fractured rocks. Only divine intervention, Cole suggests, can save the voyager from a tragic fate.
Now let your eyes wander over the series’ last painting, “The Voyage of Life: Old Age.” What is the first thing that comes to mind? In this picture, the stream of life has reached the ocean of eternity where the voyager floats aboard his broken, weathered vessel. All signs of nature and “corporeal existence” are cast aside. How do we know? The guardian angel, whom he sees for the first time, directs his gaze toward a beckoning, soft light emerging from the parting clouds—the vision of eternal life.
What has Cole done specifically to indicate the passing of the voyager's ‪#‎Youth‬ in these two paintings? ‪#‎ArtAtoZ‬

the new San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; The biggest contemporary art museum in America will be unveiled next month

In many countries rich art-buyers are deserting public institutions in favour of building their own private museums. Not in the Bay Area, where some 200 collectors have been persuaded to donate over 4,000 works of art to the new San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
Building it took ingenuity, persuasiveness—and a lot of money

Henri Matisse about the technique of linocut:
I want to say a couple of words about the prints on the linoleum. Do not resort to the linoleum from the savings targets to replace the tree. Linoleum prints gives a special character, dramatically different from woodcuts, and for him it is, and should choose this kind of engraving. I long ago came to mind, it is an instrument so simple, you can nevertheless be compared with a violin and bow: the surface, graver - four stretched strings and bow hair.
Graver, as the bow, is in direct contact with the sensitivity of the engraver: the slightest distraction during line involuntarily entail a light finger pressure on the tool bar and spoil. Similarly, only a light pressure of fingers on the bow to change the nature of the pitch.

Анри Матисс о технике линогравюры:
Мне хочется сказать еще пару слов относительно гравюры на линолеуме. Не следует прибегать к линолеуму из целей экономии, чтобы заменить дерево. Линолеум придает эстампу свой особый характер, резко отличный от гравюры на дереве, и ради него именно и следует выбирать этот вид гравюры. Мне уже давно приходило в голову, что это орудие, такое простое, можно тем не менее сравнить со скрипкой и смычком: поверхность, штихель — четыре натянутые струны и волос смычка.
Штихель, как и смычок, находится в непосредственном контакте с чувствительностью гравера: малейшее отвлечение при проведении линии непроизвольно повлечет за собой легкий нажим пальцев на инструмент и испортит штрих. Точно так же достаточно легкого нажима пальцев на смычок, чтобы изменить характер тона.

Today the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, joined François Pinault to announce plans to convert the Bourse de Commerce in Les Halles into a museum displaying Pinault’s art collection. The space, formerly used as a trading point for the stock exchange, is prime real estate in the center of Paris, sandwiched nicely between the shopping on the Rue Saint-Honoré—conveniently the home of many Kering-owned boutiques—and the Louvre and Centre Pompidou museums. The circular building will be restored and renovated by Tadao Ando, with Pierre-Antoine Gatier, chief architect of Monuments Historiques; Lucie Niney and Thibault Marca of NeM agency; and Setec Bâtiment. Paris will be the second city to host Pinault’s public projects for his contemporary art collection; he also maintains three sites in Venice: Palazzo Grassi, Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi, and Punta della Dogana.





François Pinault had hoped to open his vast private modern-art collection to the public in France over a decade ago. At last, he has found a French home for that dream
The new museum marks something of a new era

How Brutalist buildings came back in fashion

推這篇2014年的文章;去年我的母校Essex大學50周年慶,有篇宏文說學校在幾百年的parkland 造一Brutalism校園之傑作 (換句話說,需要談許多建築細部)。然後加州大學某校區,也是這風尚下的作品.....
我還建議到Wikipedia 此條的英 (特別豐富)、日 (日本採音譯)、中文版,再找幾篇相關的文章讀一下。這樣,可能約翻過數十年前的一本專作。
It's perhaps the most controversial architectural style of them all.
Post-war concrete architecture was decried by many as ugly – but now Brutalist buildings are back in fashion, writes Jonathan Glancey.
