High Life

44 品 以伊迪丝·琵雅芙的香颂及感伤恋歌配搭夏加尔的水粉画并不违和，却不免 落入俗套且思想懒惰。展出单位特意在展览入口处，播放迷人的音乐动画短片 《音之色》。《音之色》由屡获殊荣的法国籍乌兹别克钢琴家米哈伊尔·鲁迪创 作，以浪漫幽美的钢琴乐章，配搭夏加尔在半个多世纪前，受法国文化部部长安 德烈·马尔罗委托创作的巴黎加尼叶歌剧院巨型天花装饰。夏加尔是二十世纪的 受害者，而鲁迪的家人亦曾受苏联政权迫害；前者的绘画与后者的音乐相结合， 是为对历来伟大作曲家的赞礼，更是令人陶醉的「总体艺术品」。 「命运的色彩——夏加尔南法时期作品展」糅合视觉盛宴、梦幻旅程及情感 宣泄等元素，实为不可多得的一流展览，将一直开放至八月二十六日。 It would be convenient but indolent to match Chagall’s gouache paintings with Édith Piaf’s ballads and chansons. Instead, the exhibitor screened La Couleur des Sons , a spellbinding animation film by the multi award-winning Uzbekistan-born French pianist Mikhail Rudy, whose family were victims of Bolshevism, combining his piano recitals with Chagall’s ceiling frescoes for the Opéra Garnier. Commissioned by Minister of Culture André Malraux, Chagall’s magnum opus is a mesmerising palette of five elements, dedicated to the greatest composers in history. Open until 26 August, Marc Chagall, Light and Colour in Southern France is as much a visual feast as it is an emotional catharsis, a first-rate exhibition in every aspect.
