Naturalism, and Jean-François Millet 自然主義與米勒

by Matthew Brown

Take a look at a style of art that tries to show things as they are.

看看自然主義如何呈現事物的自然風華。

If you were setting out to create a painting of a subject, there would be many choices available to you. Take the idea of painting a bouquet of red roses for instance. You could choose to draw vibrant lines around and inside the flowers, giving the painting energy and movement. Or you could depict the roses using simple geometric shapes, something like what Picasso might have done. If you took either of these routes, your painting could turn out to be quite interesting. It would not, however, be a painting that could be described as being in a Realist or Naturalist style.

"Naturalism," as well as "Realism" which it is often linked with, usually refers to a style of art that tries to show the object exactly as it is in real life. Sometimes artists who work in the style of Realism go so far as to try to trick the viewer into thinking the painting is the real thing.

What makes Naturalism "different from Realism is that Naturalism puts an emphasis on nature. It says that objects should be painted realistically, as they appear, and that they should be displayed in a way that is true to nature. For most people, however, the difference between the two styles is not always very clear.

The Naturalist movement took place in the 1800s, and it came about as a reaction against Romanticism. Romanticism describes an approach to painting in which the object is portrayed in the way the artist imagines it, with a great deal of style and emotion. In the end, the object usually looks quite different from how it would look to the eye in day-to-day life.

中文翻譯

如果你要以某個題材著手作畫，你有很多選擇。就舉畫一束紅玫瑰為例好了。你可以選擇用生動筆觸勾勒出玫瑰花里里外外的線條，賦予花朵生命力與動感?；蛘吣憧梢杂脝渭兊膸缀涡螤蠲枥L出玫瑰，就如同畢加索的畫法一樣。如果你采取以上任何一種畫法，作品會變得相當有趣。不過如此一來，你的作品就稱不上是寫實主義或自然主義畫風。

『自然主義』常與『寫實主義』相提并論，通常都是指一種能忠實呈現主題在現實生活中模樣的藝術風格。寫實主義派畫家有時甚至試著讓觀者相信畫中的主題是真實的。

自然主義與寫實主義不同之處在于它強調自然，認為物體就該像眼前所見般被忠實呈現，并以忠于自然的方式繪制。然而對多數人來說，這兩種風格的分別并不明顯。

自然主義運動發(fā)生于 19 世紀，是對浪漫主義的反動。浪漫主義以畫家想象的方式來描繪主題，相當富有個人風格與情感。到最后，主題通常與現實生活中的樣子相當不同。
