  • Van Goghs Farewell to Eiffel Tower

    梵高揮別艾菲爾鐵塔 《意象來源》 梵谷:『鳥鴉滿天飛的麥田(1890) 『奧斐的教堂』(1890) 除了艾菲爾鐵塔外,梵谷的形像構成了這幅動人心魄的作品,是陳錦芳紀念鐵塔百年的系列中一幅具份量的力作。 這幅畫組合了三個意象:歐斐的教堂,烏鴉飛滿天的麥田,以及艾菲爾鐵塔。 梵 谷的原作裡麥田佔了三分之二的畫面,而烏鴉滿天飛。深藍的天空零亂可怕,不管麥田上閃耀著陽光。陳錦芳作品上的麥田佔不到一半的畫面,天空視野擴大。他的 天空也有旋轉的雲,看來像是收割後大風中的麥草綑。那廣闊的天空戲劇性地襯托出那兩個法國的象徵形像:右邊是鄉下的教堂,左邊是現代土木工程的奇葩。 這兩個象徵形像符合陳錦芳的哲學意涵。教堂所代表的跟他早期作品中的佛像,月中詩人,以及其他東方形像所代表的合拍:即人的精神及(東方)直覺的象徵,而相反地鐵塔代表了科學的、實利的、物質的層面:西方文化的縮影。在這裡是東西方的整合。
