给芳芳的信 2

李牧

亲爱的芳芳，

我走了很多路，有些累了，坐下来休息。
我旁边是越战纪念碑，这是我这两天见过的唯一有意思的地方。几天前我特意去了纽约的越战老兵纪念广场，那里的纪念碑上刻着一封封当年士兵和家庭的信件。这儿的设计很简单，黑色的石板上刻着越战中阵亡的58000个士兵的名字，其他再没有关于这场战争的任何信息。我问身边的一个美国老头：你知道这是谁设计的吗？他摇摇头。我说：这是一个中国女孩设计的，她的名字叫林璎。

至于我刚才去过的几个美术馆，我实在不想多说什么。我觉得那是最没有意思的地方，尽管里面陈列着我们所敬仰的大师们的画作。不过我还是顺手写下了一些感受，和你分享：
每幅画的画框都是不同的，有时我花在画框上的时间要比花在画上的时间多。
看原作和印刷品确实不一样，在这里，你能看到艺术家的笨拙，画布没有绷平，纸不够了又接了一截，用了不好的画笔，你还能看到他是怎么画坏后又修改过来的。
劳特雷特的构图和别人都不一样，他的构图很不“专业”，只是生活中某个普通的场景。
毕加索的画之所以变化很多，因为他只忠实于自己的感受。
我喜欢的艺术家多是像我一样笨拙的人，那些大师们毫不掩饰自己的笨拙。
那些能工巧匠型的艺术家，多是二、三流之辈。
罗丹的雕塑是极其模糊的，和里希特的画一样模糊。
我想，我应该把更多的时间花在当代艺术之外的事物上。

这儿的感觉和北京有点像，大而空。一个国家的首都多是这样，虚伪的政治，死亡的文化。说到这儿，我抬头看了看国家美术馆，它显然是一口巨大的棺材。
刚才，我在一个美术馆遇到了沈周和文徵明的画，倍感亲切。相比于日本人的画，他们是真正的大师。
逛公园耗尽了我的体力，这儿的公园实在太大了。接下来，我想离开公园，去哪儿？我不知道，反正我不想去博物馆。
现在是你的凌晨六点，你正在酣睡中。
亲亲你！

Dear Fang,

I walked a long way, I am tired, so I sit down to have a rest.
Vietnam Veterans Memorial beside me, this is my only interesting place two days I have seen . A few days ago I have visited the Vietnam Veterans Plaza in New York, where some letters of soldiers and theie family was carved on the monument. Here the design is very simple, black stone engraved with the 58,000 soldiers name, no other informations about the war. I asked the old man he sit beside me: Do you know who is the designer? He shook his head. I said: This design by a Chinese girl, her name is Mia Lin.

I have been to several museums, I really do not want to say anything. I think it is the most tedious place, although some great artworks was display in it. But I still wrote a number of feelings to share with you:
Every frame is different, sometimes I spend more time on the frame than the painting.
It’s different between the original and print copy, where you can see the artist's clumsy, paper is not enough and pick up a length, with a bad brush, you can see how he modify them there.
Lautrec’s composition is so different with other artist. His composition just came from life.
Why so many changes in Picasso's paintings, because he only loyal to his feelings.
I like the clumsy artists, they never try to hide their clumsy.
Rodin's sculpture is so vague, same with Richter's paintings.
I think I should spend more time on the things outside of contemporary art.

Washington is same with Beijing, large and empty. Most capital of a country is the case, the hypocrisy of politics, culture of death. Speaking of this, I looked up at the National Gallery, obviously it is a huge coffin.
Just now, I have meet paintings of Shen Zhou and Wen Zhengming in a museum. Compared with the Japanese paintings, Shen Zhou and Wen Zhengming are the real masters.
I am exhausted in the park, the park is too big. Then I want to leave the park, where I going to? I do not know, anyway, I just not want to the museum.
Now is your six o'clock in the morning, you're fast asleep.
Kiss you!

三封信分开来发有分开来发的好处，也有坏处，害得我恨不得把刚才的回帖每封信底下都复制一下。有这个必要。
