Salvador Dalí Mountain Lake 1938
半夜不睡觉,偷偷翻瑞秋书架上的坏品味,萨尔瓦多·达利,那一页写着梦旅人。
这个词很难解,是Dreamer还是Sleepwalker,是做白日梦的人还是梦游的人。姑且解为在梦里天马行空的人,比如我吧。
这几个月晚上睡觉老是做梦,这和以往即使睡眠质量很差也不大做梦形成很大反差。有时惊醒是一片漆黑,后背发冷浑身是汗,有时则是被闹钟叫醒,恋恋不舍从床上坐起来却还要盯着黑暗中某个光点愣上很久。
而梦,总是没有结局的故事。
我总是试图在梦里寻找现实的根源,比如那个从致公跑下来到苏联教学楼考试的梦,那是我国私考试之前以为自己忘带证件从致公跑到环阶的映射;比如那个梦见和爸爸约好吃饭他却没有来的梦,那个饭店的房间是山釜+大宅门,正是我之前一周吃的两顿;再比如梦见洗澡没有水冻得不行,醒来整个后背都在被子外面。但是我无法解释为什么梦里有台风,会有乌云,会有晴天,这样的映射,未免太遥远。就好比今天中午在鼓楼,看见蓝天大太阳,和月亮,好似做梦。
回到达利,第一次看见他的作品是在Tate Modern,本只是慕莫奈和波洛克之名而去,不想在宣传册上看到达利,回到之前走马观灯经过的展厅,他的画在走廊的一边,颜色灰暗,吸引了几个人围观。不似睡莲需要远观,也不似波洛克只能意会,这幅《山与湖》,细致入微,清晰可见。在Tate Modern里,这幅画被归类为Poetry and Dream,说是诗歌,未免晦涩,说是梦境,你可见过如此清晰的梦?即使梦境清晰,据说只有很少人才有“照相机记忆”,能够清晰记得画面里的每一处细节,难道达利就是这样的天才?又据说,只有深厚的写实功底,才能更好表达思想世界。你看那蜗牛,那断了线的电话,时光缓缓前进,声音却如断线风筝,只有山与湖不变。
官方解释如下:
Mountain Lake, 1938
Mountain Lake, also called Beach with Telephone, was painted using oil on canvas. The telephone was a key image for Dalí during the late Thirties, as seen in his famous Lobster Telephone in 1936. Dalí believed this painting was a premonition of the Second World War. In Mountain Lake, as with The Enigma of Hitler (1936), the telephone can be interpreted as referring to the telephone negotiations between Chamberlain and Hitler to seal the Munich Agreement made in 1938.
The telephone handle is hanging by a crutch, signifying the fragility of the peace that the telephone negotiations have created. To stress this point further, there are snails crawling up the crutch and on to the handle of the phone; Dalí was fascinated with all creatures that have their own shell, with their protected softness and their hidden vulnerability.
The mountains in the background are reflected in the lake beneath the phone to give a double image: the lake can also be seen as a fish with the ripples on it forming the scales and the jagged rock to the left forming a tail. Some have seen the image as phallic, with the solitary rock to the right suggesting a female counterpart.我都那么大了,不按标准答案说话无所谓的吧。
