吹短笛的男孩

《吹短笛的男孩》是法國畫家愛德華·馬奈1866年創(chuàng)作的作品，現(xiàn)今保存在巴黎奧賽博物館。馬奈在畫中兼用現(xiàn)實(shí)主義和印象主義的畫風(fēng)，故而如很多創(chuàng)新派畫家一樣，在當(dāng)時(shí)并不被人認(rèn)可。1865年，馬奈出游西班牙，在那里見識(shí)了迭戈·委拉斯奎茲的作品，之后創(chuàng)作了此畫。

在這幅畫中，能明顯看出馬奈受西班牙繪畫的影響，他構(gòu)想出的空間淺平無深度，垂直面和水平面模糊難辨。深色的輪廓線更加重了人物和姿勢的平面感，這種仿自法式塔羅牌的技巧使得作品的卡通風(fēng)格更加濃重。這幅帆布油畫背景單調(diào)，人物單一。畫中的少年身著軍服——紅褲子、黑夾克、黃銅扣、白腰帶、黑帽子、紅帽章——在吹奏短笛。少年身前光感很足，而身后只有一點(diǎn)微小的影子，使其具有神奇的如照片般的平面感。吹笛手的目光熱烈卻又游移，眉毛看上去很淡，甚至形狀都不完整。

如今，《吹短笛的男孩》被看作最早的現(xiàn)代派畫作，但在當(dāng)時(shí)卻令觀者驚訝不已。用奧諾雷·杜米埃的話說，這幅畫“是那么缺少立體感，看上去就像是撲克牌”。不過，偉大的藝術(shù)評(píng)論家埃米爾·左拉卻在報(bào)紙上刊登了多篇文章，稱它體現(xiàn)了藝術(shù)的創(chuàng)新和自由。畫作強(qiáng)烈的效果很大程度上是得益于對(duì)濃色的巧妙使用。吹笛手上衣和褲子上的大塊黑紅色塊在亮白色區(qū)域的襯托下顯得更加濃重。
