AC 43. Matisse’s Circus 《马蒂斯的马戏》| Le Clown de Vence

from Palimpsest | 行间

概念专辑简介Matisse’s Circus|马蒂斯的马戏1943年,二战阴影笼罩法国。旺斯一带虽远离前线,却生活在配给、短缺与不安之中;巴黎则已被占领,许多现代主义艺术家被迫流亡、隐居或沉默,欧洲艺术的中心也开始从巴黎转向纽约。年迈、病后的马蒂斯退居旺斯,在一间明亮而安静的房子里,用剪刀代替画笔。他让助手把纸张涂上纯粹的颜色,再亲手剪出人物、植物、星辰与马戏演员——这就是后来著名的 “用剪刀绘画”。1943年开始构思,1947年出版的《Jazz》,将剪纸、色彩、节奏与即兴结合在一起,仿佛一场无声的爵士乐。这张专辑以《Jazz》中的马戏精神为出发点,六首音乐对应六个传统马戏项目:小丑、杂耍、走钢丝、空中飞人、飞刀手与马戏团主持人。第一首 Le Clown de Vence 讲的并非并非滑稽的杂技团小丑,而是我想象中1943年的马蒂斯:在战争与衰老之间,他退居旺斯,在有限的身体和空间里继续创造。窗外是一个正在失去秩序的世界,而他手中的剪刀,仍然让颜色、形状和生命继续跳舞。Matisse’s CircusIn 1943, France lived under the shadow of war. Nice and Vence were far from the front, yet daily life was marked by rationing, scarcity and uncertainty. Paris was occupied; many modernist artists were forced into exile, hiding or silence, while the center of the art world slowly shifted from Paris to New York.In Vence, the aging and recovering Henri Matisse turned to scissors instead of brushes. Assistants painted sheets of paper in pure colors, and Matisse cut them into figures, plants, stars and circus performers. This became his celebrated “drawing with scissors.” Begun in 1943 and published in 1947, Jazz transformed cut paper, color, rhythm and improvisation into something like a silent form of music.This album follows the circus spirit of Jazz, with six tracks inspired by six traditional circus acts: The Clown, The Juggler, The Tightrope, The Flying Trapeze, The Knife Thrower, and The Ringmaster.The Clown, the opening piece, is not simply a comic character. It imagines Matisse in Vence in 1943—an aging artist working within a fragile body and a shrinking world. Outside, Europe was losing its balance; inside, his scissors continued to make color, shape and life dance.--第一曲Le Clown de VenceÀ Vence, sur la collineLe ciel est bleuLa mer est loinMais je la vois dans mes yeuxLa lumière danseSur les murs blancsJe prends mes ciseauxJe coupe doucementRefrainCoupe, coupeLa lumièreDanse, danseDans l'airJe coupe le cielJe coupe la merJe coupe la nuitEt je reste làCouplet 2Dans ma chambre blancheLe jour entre doucementUne feuille, un peu de couleurEt le monde devient grandPas besoin de peindrePas besoin de parlerMes mains savent encoreCe que mon cœur veut créerRefrainCoupe, coupeLa lumièreDanse, danseDans l'airJe coupe le cielJe coupe la merJe coupe la nuitEt je reste làPontLe corps est fatiguéMais le cœur est légerJe ferme les yeuxEt je vois le soleilRouge, bleu, jaune, vertLe monde est dans mes mainsUne feuille devient un jardinEt je recommence demainRefrainCoupe, coupeLa lumièreDanse, danseDans l'airJe coupe le cielJe coupe la merJe coupe la nuitEt je reste làOutroÀ Vence, sur la collineLa lumière est encore làJe coupe une dernière étoileEt puis je laisse danserLa lumière.一南 | Yinan前往小宇宙评论区与主播互动
