梵高静物作品《一堆法语小说》超高清大图

作品简介

这幅静物画是对现代法国文学的礼赞。那些黄色封面的书籍对21世纪的观者而言已难以即刻辨认，但在梵高的时代，人们一眼就能认出这些法国现代平装书。

梵高是位痴迷的读者，尤其推崇龚古尔兄弟与左拉等小说家——他们为现代生活提供了赤裸而真实的视角。前景摊开的书本仿佛正邀请观者前来阅读。

This still life is an ode to modern French literature. The books with yellow covers are not immediately identifiable to 21st-century viewers. But Van Gogh's contemporaries recognised them as modern French paperbacks.

Van Gogh was an avid reader and an admirer of novelists such as the Goncourt brothers and Emile Zola. They offered a realistic, unvarnished perspective on modern life.

The open book in the foreground invites the viewer to come and read.
