喬治·布拉克 女人頭像 紐約大都會藝術博物館藏
中英文作品介紹:
This work and Fruit Dish and Glass (1912, The Leonard A. Lauder Cubist Collection) are among Braque’s first papiers collés. He had already drawn most of the still-life motifs in charcoal. Holes in the collage elements indicate that Braque pinned on the pieces of mass-produced, cheap wallpaper, experimenting with their placement before pasting them onto the fine-art paper sheet. He then drew on top of the wallpaper to integrate it into the composition and to blur the distinction between real and fake, hand drawn and mechanically printed. Braque’s inspiration for this woman, with her tilted head, long curls, and kewpie-doll lips, probably came from newspaper and poster advertisements.
這件作品和《果盆和玻璃杯》(1912,倫納德·A·勞德立體派收藏)同屬布拉克的第一批創作的紙制拼貼作品。他已經把大部分靜物畫成了木炭。拼貼元素中的洞表明,布拉克釘在大量生產的廉價壁紙上,在粘貼它們之前,嘗試它們放置到精美的紙上。然後他畫上壁紙,把它融入構圖,並模糊了真與假,手繪和機械印刷之間的區別。布拉克對這個女人的靈感來源於她的頭、長長的捲髮和丘比特娃娃的嘴唇,可能來自報紙和海報廣告。

This work is the most famous and possibly the first Cubist papier collé, a collage made of pasted papers. In the summer of 1912, Braque and Picasso were working in Sorgues in the south of France. Braque later recalled that one day, while wandering around the nearby city of Avignon, he noticed a roll of faux bois wallpaper displayed in a shop window. Braque waited until Picasso departed for Paris before incorporating pieces of the mechanically printed, fake wood grain paper into a series of charcoal drawings. These fragments from the real world add significant meaning to the fictive world of the picture: they can be interpreted as the front drawer of the table (onto which Braque drew a circular knob), the floor, or the wall of the bar. This collage marked a turning point in Cubism. Braque later said 「After having made the papier collé, I felt a great shock and it was an even greater shock to Picasso when I showed it to him.」
這件作品是最著名的,也可能是第一件立體派畫家的作品,它是由粘貼紙製成的拼貼畫。在1912夏天,布拉克和畢卡索在法國南部的 索爾格工作。布拉克後來回憶說,有一天,他在附近城市中的閒逛時發現了一卷假壁紙,陳列在商店櫥窗裡。布拉克一直等到畢卡索離開巴黎之前,才把機械印刷的、假木紋紙的碎片加入一系列木炭畫中。這些來自現實世界的片段對圖片的虛擬世界增添了重要意義:它們可以被解釋為桌子的前抽屜(在其上畫了一個圓形旋鈕)、地板或吧檯的牆壁。這座拼貼畫標誌著立體主義中的一個轉折點。後來,布拉克說:「當我做了紙制拼貼之後,我感到非常震驚,當我向他展示時,畢卡索更為震驚。」

Here, a promotion for a book on women’s manners,with the catchy title 「L』amour obligatoire」 (Mandatory Love), is juxtaposed with an ad for Motobloc automobiles. These fragments and allusions to 「female」 and 「male」 are united by the wineglass at center, with flirtatious innuendo. Braque’s exploration of non-art materials extended to the support for this collage, a commercial board used to back an oval mirror.
在這裡,一本帶有醒目的標題「L』amour obligatoire」(強制性愛情)的關於女性禮儀的書的廣告,,和一張用於汽車的廣告並列在一起。這些由酒杯的中心連接在一起的片段和典故對應「女性」和「男性」,是為了影射調情。布拉克對非藝術材料的探索延伸到了這個拼貼畫的基礎上,它是一個用來加固橢圓鏡子的商業公告牌。(陰山工作室)
喬治·布拉克(Georges Braque,1882—1963),法國立體主義繪畫大師,1882年生於塞納河畔的阿讓特伊。與畢卡索早期作品屬印象派和野獸派。與畢卡索合作,直到1914年,共同發起立體主義繪畫運動。最早將字母糅合進繪畫,將顏料與沙子混合作畫和使用拼貼畫法。晚年作品包括靜物畫和風景畫,風格漸趨現實主義。他的影響實際上並不比畢卡索小。並且,「立體主義」這一名稱還是由他的作品而來。
