#穿All Black的女生去看了一个关于黑色的画展#

黑色可以是一种构成手段、一种情感的隐喻、一种身份的象征。。。

Luncheon in the Studio

Manet 1868

...There is nothing unusual about this, Leon is to be seen in this fashionable attire of the young metropolitan man... What is unsusual is the extraordinary skill with which the painter masters the black surface of the picture and on it discreetly places borders on the collars and pockets...With just this lightless fleck alone, the painting immediately caught the attention...

对于黑色衣服的再现是一个真正的挑战、原因在于极少数纺织品表面均匀呈现黑色。Manet仅用少数灰色线条获得一个内部结构、而这里所完成的黑色程度是被赞为“纯净和发光的”、从而开创了黑色也是一种“颜色”的新维度。

Young Spanish Nobleman

Velazquez 1631

...Customary attire at the Spanish court at that time: Finest black cloth was also worn by King Phillip IV himself...There is also evidence that the painter initially sketched the contours of the displayed garment in black, and, in doing so, marked important areas of shade...

用黑色描绘轮廓和阴影，而用黑色和白色的混合物涂在服装的较大表面上。然而，整体印象是一致的黑色。

17世纪的西班牙和荷兰，黑色是高贵的颜色。

Count Jenison-Walworth

Franz Xaver Winterhalter, 1837

...Quite simply, the achromatic color black suffices to convey the play of light on fur, velvet and silk - applied here in virtuoso fashion...

仅用黑色和源于它的灰色调生动说明了黑色皮毛、丝绸以及天鹅绒的区别。

题外话：这位曾为许多欧洲皇室成员画过肖像画的画家笔下的茜茜公主想必去过维也纳的盆友都还记得吧。

Lili Lauser

Hans Makart, 1877

...Makart achieves here all gradations between gray and white with a few brushstrokes over dark ground and gives the painting a dark-exotic aura...

简单的处理展示黑、灰、白的几个层次。

Youn Boys playing Dice

Bartolome Esteban Murillo, 1676/80

...Pigments of Black add to the grubby-green shading of the trousers and are also evident - albeit to a lesser extent - in the depiction of the hazy sky...

混合黑色来再现阴影的栗子。

Two Boys Eating Grapes and Melon

Bartolome Esteban Murillo, 1645

...For the uppermost layer of paint for the background Murillo has chosen to apply principally the brown pigment umbra, which he may have mixed partially with soot-thus indicating that not everything, which appears to have a blackish tone to it, must necessarily to be black...

与其他颜料混合是另一种创造非常黑暗的方式。通常我们看到的黑色是由棕色、红色或简单的黑色颜料混合的结果。

Concert in the Salon (A) VS Salon Concert (B)

(A) Concert in the Salon

Nicolas Lancret, 1738

...The entrance leading through to the next room is dark, with shadows suggesting a sense of space...In those days, at the time when this picture was created, black is evidently not a fashionable color favored by high society and it reserved for attire on principally special occasions...

光与影的描绘I：光与影展现空间的进深关系和情感表达、而这个时期的黑色是不受青睐的。

(B) Salon Concert

Adolph von Menzel, 1851

...In his depiction Menzel sets himself the challenge of recording this subdued atmosphere with gouache and pastel, opaque colors that do not allow any glazing light and shade are created through the fine overlapping of colors. It is an object lesson in painting...

光与影的描绘II：光与阴影通过不透明颜料的精细叠加产生。

Still-life with Asparague

Carl Schuch, 1885/90

...The painting thrives on the heightened contrast of light and dark between the laid-out tablecloth in the foreground and its surroundings sinking into the shadows. It is precisely in this contrast that individual colors begin to shine out, the picture becomes brighter...

利用强烈的对比度进行重点转移。

The Plucked Turkey

Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes, 1808/12

...Here the observer's gaze is directly confronted with the naked corpse of the plucked bird. Goya achieves this effect by depicting the turkey slumped head-down against dark objects that are set before a dark background. The pan and vessel appears to be black - in sharp contrast to the pale coloring of the bird's flesh. However, in reality, they are composed primarily of dark shades of grey...

鲜明的对比度可以引导观察者的注意力，也可以让灰色看上去变成黑色。

Strom (Heroic Landscape)

Johann Adolf Stäbli, 1878

...is the complete opposite of the light-filled landscapes of Impressionism... His paints over the dark ground with light colors and over the light ground with dark colors. The effect is dramatic...

黑白色“粗暴”叠加的戏剧性效果。

Roman Landscape I

Hans von Marees, 1868

...The accentuation of black (which in reality are red and green) reinforce the elegiac-solemn mood of the landscape. The figures are portrayed at one with the Landscape - in "melancholic harmony" (E. Ruhmer). In Antiquity, melancholic were considered to be under the influence of this planet. And the aesthetics of genius of the Romanticist period, too, reflected the idea of the artist as a melancholic...

黑色是一种心情的隐喻。
