摘要: | 柯洛(Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, 1796~1875)是一位19世紀法國出色的風景畫家,他的作品承襲了新古典主義(Neoclassicism)中充滿理想的典雅、寧靜;浪漫主義(Romanticism)所表現的詩意豐沛情感,以及自然主義(Naturalism)巴比松畫派(Barbizon School)追求寫生的純樸、真實等特質。柯洛將這些畫派的特質融合為一,再加上自己獨特的情感思維與繪畫技巧,彰顯出抒情、和諧的繪畫風格來歌頌自然萬物的原生能量。他的畫作極富個人的情感和特色,尤其柯洛晚期的風景畫中,較偏重於朦朧、幽靜、夢幻和優美的迷濛意境與畫面氛圍,此獨特風格的畫面表現饒富柔和與親切的感人魅力,深得觀賞者們的喜愛。因此,筆者將於本論文中,深入地探討繪畫大師柯洛的晚年創作,以及其如何在當年畫壇充斥著新古典主義、浪漫主義、寫實主義(Realism)以及自然主義等眾多潮流中,不受到任一畫派的牽制下,默默地耕耘並發展出無人能取代的自然雲霧感之寫意繪畫特質。
首先,筆者研究法國風景畫發展的背景,依時間的演變,自17世紀理想風景畫的先拓,再進入18世紀裝飾風景畫的肇始,接著是與柯洛年代相近的19世紀純粹風景畫的盛行,從演變中瞭解風景畫的發展對柯洛有何直接或間接的影響。接著筆者研究柯洛的創作背景,除了介紹其重要生平之外,亦探討柯洛成為風景畫家的主要因素,以及柯洛創作風格的階段演變;爾後研究範圍則進入到柯洛的晚期繪畫風格1850年代以後,主要分析其充滿雲霧感的風景繪畫,再針對其繪畫表現技法、構成特色,以及畫家本身的創作思維與情感作一深入的探索,並與其他畫家的風格進行比較,試圖找出柯洛的繪畫創作脈絡與其帶有寫意思維之特質。
