星夜 |
星夜 也许是梵高最著名的作品了。由于它独树一帜的风格,这幅作品多次在诗歌,小说,CD中出现,当然还有Don Mclean(唐•马克林)那首著名的歌 "文森特" 又名“夜晚繁星点点”。
尽管 星夜 的知名度已经毋庸置疑,但是我们却无法了解到梵高本人对这幅画的看法。这是因为他只在给席奥的信中提到过两次,而且还是一笔带过。(信件
星夜 是梵高在圣雷米精神病院期间创作的。那时,由于遭受着严重的精神疾病困扰,他的行为古怪异常。与梵高大部分作品不同,星夜 是他凭记忆画下的,而非梵高一贯的实景写生。这也许能解释为什么,在梵高同时期的作品中,这幅星夜 能给人如此大的心灵上的震撼。
有些人把这幅画与文森特另一幅同样给人狂乱感觉的名画
麦田上空的乌鸦在风格上做了比较。这些作品躁狂的风格是否折射出了一个备受折磨的灵魂?我们是否能从梵高笔下漩涡汹涌的星空中读出更多的东西?这些疑问使星夜 不仅成为了梵高最有名的作品,而且还因其特殊的含义和重要性成为了最经常被解读的作品之一。
有些人还研究了一下这幅作品出现的11颗星星。尽管在1889年,梵高已没有了他早年时对于宗教的痴狂,但是当他创作这幅画时,他可能还是受了一些旧约中约瑟的故事的影响。
无论这幅作品蕴含的意义如何,或者后人怎样解读它,星夜 都被认为是19世纪最重要的画作之一。 |
