The Paris Notes

"In October 1988, Mr. Mitsuo Yamazaki, President of SeibuDepartment Stores, Ltd., proposed, 'We will organize La Foire deParis in Tokyo in the coming October, and would like to invite youto create a Paris landscape collection for the event. Would you andMrs. Wu be able to come to Paris?' Little did he know that I wasdrawn to this idea strongly. When I studied in Paris as an artstudent, I devoured and was fascinated by Western art. Forty yearspassed, I am getting older. Came back, I use my oriental hands andeyes to paint the old Parisnew Paris. There are much to feel about,not least to paint! I accepted Mr. Yamazaki's invitation andreturned to Paris in the chilling Spring this year (1989). Before Ileft, I visited my alma mater out of remembrance…and inquired aboutthe whereabouts of my late teacher, the reputable ProfessorSouverbie. He often reminded me that there were two types of art,the minor type entertains, while the major one touches hearts."--Wu Guanzhong, The Paris Notes

In Spring of 1989, Wu visited Paris again for a month. Withmixed feelings, the artist, now 70 years old, savoured the fondmemories of his time in the capital as a student, and was eager torevisit the iconic landmarks, such as Chateau de Versailles,Montmartre, Musee du Louvre, Fontainebleau and Barbizon. He mighthave a different role, but his passion for art remained the sameafter four decades.

La Maison de la Reine (Lot 363) painted in 1989 was completedafter the trip. Wu portrayed the private villa of Marie Antoinette,wife of Louis XVI, built in 1783 with ex-pressive and sweepingbrushstrokes. The rustic country house contrasted with thesplendour of Chateau de Versailles sharply. Spaces are experiencedby the mood transmitted within. To ex-press his personal feelingtoward this space, he extracted the essence of this Westernbuilding through his oriental eyes and hands, and adjusted thecomposition so that most of the canvas was taken up by the bluesky, white clouds and the lakeside. The three tree trunks thatalmost pierce through the composition in the foreground and thetrees nearby highlight the relationship between the landscape andNature. In his painting, La Maison de la Reine is not part of theold Paris, but represents the bright new Paris, attesting to theunique path the artist discovered in Paris over the past 40years.

巴黎笔记

“1988年10月，Seibu百货公司总裁三井山崎先生提议，‘我们将于明年10月在东京组织巴黎的La Foire deParis，并希望邀请您为这次活动创建一个巴黎景观收藏。你和吴太太能来巴黎吗？“他几乎不知道我被这个想法深深地吸引住了。当我在巴黎学习艺术时，我沉迷于西方艺术。四十年过去了，我越来越老了。回来后，我用我东方的双手和眼睛来描绘旧巴黎。有很多感觉，尤其是绘画！我接受了山崎先生的邀请，今年(1989年)在寒冷的春天返回巴黎。在我离开之前，为了纪念…，我拜访了我的母校。并询问我已故老师，著名的Souverbie教授的下落。他经常提醒我，有两种类型的艺术，一种是小类型的娱乐，另一种是感人的.“，”巴黎笔记“吴冠中

1989年春，吴冠中再次访问巴黎一个月。这位现年70岁的艺术家带着复杂的心情，品味了他在首都上学时的美好回忆，并渴望重温标志性的地标建筑，如凡尔赛庄园、蒙马特庄园、卢浮宫博物馆、枫丹白露和巴比森(Barbizon)。他可能扮演着不同的角色，但四十年后，他对艺术的热情依然不变。

拉米森·德拉雷恩(第363批)于1989年完成了这一旅行。吴描绘了玛丽·安托瓦内特(MarieAntoinette)的私人别墅，她是路易十六(LouisXVI)的妻子，建于1783年。乡村别墅与凡尔赛庄园的辉煌形成鲜明对比。空间是通过内在的情绪来体验的。为了发泄他对这一空间的个人感受，他通过东方的眼睛和双手，提炼出这座西方建筑的精髓，并调整构图，使大部分的画布被蓝天、白云和湖边所占据。这三棵几乎穿透前景和附近树木组成的树干突出了景观与自然之间的关系。在他的画中，拉米森·德拉·雷恩不再是旧巴黎的一部分，而是代表了明亮的新巴黎，证明了这位艺术家在过去40年里在巴黎发现的独特道路。
