Edvard Munch 的吶喊
去北歐前﹐沒聽過Edvard Munch (1863-1944)﹐幾年前對於「吶喊」(Scream) 失竊略有所聞。輾轉間﹐名畫尋回了﹐仍在Oslo的國家畫廊展出。
看了Munch的作品和旁邊的介紹﹐感覺很強烈﹐猶如一根錘子在心頭敲打﹐那股震蕩久久不散。
Munch是表現主義的先軀﹐擅長把人內心的焦慮、恐懼、寂寞等情感描繪在畫布上。畫的前端﹐一個黑衣人雙手捂著耳朵﹐骷髏形狀的面部扭曲﹐睜大眼睛﹐張開嘴巴大聲喊叫﹐仿彿只有竭斯底里地嘶叫﹐才能釋放內心的極度的不安、恐懼與疏離感。畫的左邊﹐有兩個人慢慢向著嘶叫中的黑衣人走來﹐他們邊散步邊談天﹐一副平靜的模樣﹐對黑衣人的情緒似乎沒有絲毫反應﹐人與人之間的疏離感﹐深刻呈現在畫家強烈的色彩裡﹐挑動觀眾的情緒。
畫家這樣解說道﹐"I was walking along a path with two friends—the sun was setting—suddenly the sky turned blood red—I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence—there was blood and tongues of fire above the blue-black fjord and the city—my friends walked on, and I stood there trembling with anxiety—and I sensed an infinite scream passing through nature. —Edvard Munch"
半世紀前的畫作﹐跟今天的社會竟是那樣吻合。每個人都忙著自己的工作和生活﹐每個人都是一個獨立個體﹐自己一台電腦、一個手提電話、一個MP3/iPod﹐沉浸在自己的世界中﹐在物質、精神和情感生活上自負盈虧﹐順境時快活自在﹐絕望時大聲嘶喊也沒人聽得見﹔因為﹐別人也沉浸在自己的世界中﹐在物質、精神和情感生活自負盈虧﹐順境時快活自在…
那天在畫廊裡﹐我站在「吶喊」面前忍不住看了又看﹐感覺很強烈﹐猶如一根錘子在心頭敲打﹐那股震蕩久久不散。

Shirley, very sharp observation: ” 順境時快活自在﹐絕望時大聲嘶喊也沒人聽得見” This is the downside of modernism.
