拍品資料及來源

戰後的歐洲藝術,漸漸從巴黎畫派轉移到「抒情抽象」(lyrical abstraction),而唐海文的作品,亦呼應著時代潮流,其五○年代作品多為具象,六○年代中期以後定於抽象,至於60至65年則為過渡時期。隨著畫風轉變,其媒材亦從油彩畫布,改為紙本水墨、水彩及膠彩,由此亦可見這位不歸遊子,對於東方的文化根源,始終不忍割捨。

一般理解之中,「具象」與「抽象」是對立的概念,但唐海文似乎並未如他的同儕那般,竭力在抽象的新浪潮中奮勇爭先,而是自然而然的享受繪畫,其1964年的油畫《森林》(拍品編號608 ),仍然保留五○年代特色,以平面化構圖展現林間漫步的舒適,上方樹木懸空飄浮,更令人想起夏加爾(Marc Chagall)懷念農村生活的不老童心;即使日後走向抽象,觀眾仍能透過一些作品,感受藝術家在行走中之創作,《寮下客》(拍品編號611 )、《林間月》、《煙如織》(拍品編號612 )以及一組四幅的《路上景》(拍品編號609),彷彿一篇篇旅行日記,把路上心影記錄下來;除了向外探索,唐海文亦重視內在探求,並以線條、暈染和符號構成純抽象作品:《無題》(拍品編號518 )、《無題》(拍品編號519)及《無題》(拍品編號610 )俱以墨韻締造意識流動,其濃淡深淺與皴縮,是作品的藝術效果,亦是思緒的自由游弋。正如他自己所說:「我的畫既非抽象亦非具象,它不描繪世界並意圖跨越意識的世界,來呈現與自然及其律動相關的新形式。
