古稀足印,大師勒石

1989年,吳冠中應日本西武百貨店社長山崎光雄邀請,偕同夫人到巴黎寫生,這是他自1950年學成返華後,四十年來首次踏足法國。《街頭紀念碑》恰如其名,是吳冠中一方生命的紀念碑,只因他第一次留學法國時,正是以巴黎為起點,在大街小巷寫生不懈,從而鍛鍊出優秀的手腕,並吸收了歐洲的城市文化氣息,此亦影響他日後對於中國村鎮風景的處理。人生走過漫長一圈,當藝術家再次遇上同樣景色,大有所感,唯這次的作品已經不是嘗試,而是渾成;不止感性,還有回憶。

東方印象,掩映花都

在《街頭紀念碑》正中間的大理石碑的處理上,吳冠中以畫刀在厚塗的白彩上刮出輪廓,有如反用國畫概念,改「留白」為「堆白」,改「墨分五色」為「白分數色」,於此同時,仍保留西方雕塑的原韻;背景方面,作品取巴黎風景一隅,構圖雖然簡潔,卻巧妙融入東方色彩。如巴黎街道的樹木一向粗壯筆挺,但畫中的樹木卻如江南垂楊柳,曲折委婉,而後方的建築物巍峩飄渺,更讓人想起吳冠中畫的拉薩布達拉宮和龍王潭。巴黎自中世紀以來即因為過份開採地下石材,以致不能承受稍高之建築,此一視覺效果,自是出於畫家創意,使作品完美記錄了城市的時代風貌。
