《觀看的世界》、《溫德斯談藝術》&《藝術史學的世界觀》
所謂美學,涵蓋多重領域,跨越不同範疇,因此培養美學涵養的方式有許多種,除了欣賞藝術品以琢磨感官敏銳度,從藝術史論述入門也是另一種滋潤。
身為非專業領域老百姓,無法時時刻刻鑽研於詰屈聱牙的學術論文,不過幸好有相關人士的諄諄導引兼之閒逸散文,足以引領思考,開拓視界。
----------
英國藝評家兼作家John Berger(1926-2017)在1970年代因《觀看的方式》(Ways of Seeing)現身英國BBC電視劇與書籍,簡練精闢批判犀利,從此影響視覺藝術與文化研究的方向,魅力至今不減。《觀看的世界》初版則發行於1985年,無論就地域、時間點或藝術風格,理性論說或感性陳述,涉及範圍廣大,皆見證不同時代的各式經典。
《觀看的世界》娓娓字句間,自然而然凝聚溫暖深刻的力量,直指人心;重點是,內容也挺有趣。
廣泛多元跨越時空,自文藝復興到現當代,杜勒、梵谷到莫迪里亞尼,史特拉斯堡到紐約曼哈頓,旅行與愛情、夢境與死亡,藝術作品、論述和價值…等諸多面向,輕鬆讀《觀看的世界》卻能誘導思緒拓展心智,這就厲害了。
----------
德國當代電影大師Wim Wenders,(1945-)多才又多產,興趣相當多元,《溫德斯談藝術》從電影導演的角度出發,透過書寫撰述個人與各類領域藝術家,包含電影、繪畫、攝影、舞蹈、設計之間的不同形式交流過程。
例如看過Wim Wenders如何聊霍普(Edward Hopper,1882- 1967),更能深刻體認這位美國寂寥大師筆下的清冷孤寂其來有自。
霍普他老人家雖然為求溫飽就連雜誌封面委託案都得承接,但卻從來不改精煉畫風,更無畏攝影術挑戰。因而凝視霍普所創造的畫面,走入他所鋪陳的故事,感受到都市喧囂背後難免的沉寂,竟突然領悟孤單卻不寂寞,伶仃卻毋須自艾的心有戚戚焉。
《溫德斯談藝術》文字蘊藉,涵括領域廣泛,值得細細品味,同時見證出色導演所需具備的藝文涵養與電影藝術的深度。
----------
若是再好學一些,《藝術史學的世界觀》匯集1952-1957年重量級藝術評論家專論,其中當然包括史上最暢銷藝術專書《藝術的故事》作者宮布里希(Sir Ernst Hans Josef Gombrich,1909- 2001)之作《藝術與錯覺-圖畫再現的心理學研究》(1960)。
《藝術史學的世界觀》主題多采多姿豐富精彩,從法國13世紀宗教藝術圖像、早期尼德蘭繪畫、17世紀荷蘭藝術、15世紀義大利繪畫、巴洛克義大利藝術,直到馬諦斯、塞尚和後現代主義,憑藉這些學有專精藝評家的深厚學養與闡述,為我們推開專業藝術史領域厚重門扉。
相形之下,現代有些內涵素養不及嘴上功夫,屈服於市場利益共同體甚至淪為掮客的所謂〝藝評家〞,還真得加加油。
由於偏向學術取向,建議閱讀《藝術史學的世界觀》,先從有興趣的主題開始,免得最後只能淪為催眠工具睡前小幫手。

***品酒小記***
讀書的時候有好酒陪伴最是開心,尤其炎炎盛夏當然要有可愛的泡泡佐書啊!這款水晶香檳Louis Roederer Cristal的誕生說來故事性十足。
1876年,嗜飲香檳的俄羅斯沙皇亞歷山大二世(Alexander II of Russia,1818-1881)要求素日鍾愛的Louis Roederer香檳酒莊為他特製獨一無二專屬酒款。依據沙皇本倫指示,除了酒質必須無懈可擊,達到完美,就連瓶身都得透明無暇,瓶底也要一片平坦,才能好好欣賞金黃澄澈的香檳酒液。因此這款〝沙皇香檳〞透明瓶身外得包裝一層玻璃紙阻擋紫外線,避免過度受光受熱提早老化的問題。
直到如今,沙皇御用Cristal仍是許多酒鬼心目中的夢幻逸品。
Cristal是典型的年份香檳(Vintage),只在好年份生產。Cristal 2006採用55% Pinot Noir和45% Chardonnay製成,在酒渣裡浸泡長達7年,透過酵母渣緩慢分解和時光溫柔積累,才能醞釀出純淨卻複雜,既集中又奔放的精彩風味。
那柑橘系水果的成熟多汁清新可人,添以奶油糕點的馥郁絲滑氣息,光是香氣都超級可愛!用來佐上海鮮或伊比利豬仔,兼具華麗豐美和細膩優雅,簡直是夏日最明麗的風景啊~
----------
然而水晶香檳的透明玻璃瓶身還有另一種用途。
一眼望去清晰分明,當年就是用來避免刺客暗中在酒瓶裡塞進毒藥或炸藥。然而為何有如此考量?這又牽涉到俄羅斯歷史。
1861年,亞歷山大二世不顧阻力重重,堅持廢除俄羅斯行之多年的農奴制度,影響之深,被視為是繼法國大革命之後最強大的社會運動。這位力行革新的沙皇同時推行君主立憲制和政治、軍事、司法、國民教育、財政等多方面改革,可說是俄羅斯現代化重要先驅。
只是改革不僅會招來既得利益者的不滿,過程中多少也會有副作用,尤其制度尚未成熟時,加上亞歷山大二世又大力鎮壓革命團體,致使革命團體數量增多,手段更形激烈。下訂單客製化水晶香檳的時候,距離亞歷山大二世廢除農奴制度已有15年之久,地下革命活動愈演愈盛幾乎難以收拾。
難怪他老人家就連喝香檳都得擔心遭到暗算。
----------
就在1881年3月1日,亞歷山大二世準備簽署法令啟動君主立憲的這一天,不幸又在路上遇見刺客。
這一回,沙皇大人沒逃掉,雙腿被硬生生給炸斷,由於失血過多傷勢過重,當天便離開人世。壯志未酬身先死,亞歷山大二世的改革自此後繼無力,繼位君主們又不爭氣,37年後,俄羅斯帝國解體,羅曼諾夫王朝永遠走入了歷史。
躲得過香檳裡的暗殺,卻逃不了天外飛來的炸彈,幸好,亞歷山大二世生前肯定喝了很多水晶香檳。
然後,我們現在也能窩在家裡啜飲剔透泡泡讀好書。
