勒·柯布西耶看乔托

Giotto in the Eyes of Le Corbusier

与持续受到关注的米开朗琪罗、提香等人相比,乔托作为其偶像画家的形像只是短暂地出现在勒·柯布西耶的青年时代。实际上,从1907年的意大利之旅之后,乔托的名字就很少再出现在勒·柯布西耶的书信里了。然而,1923年《新精神》杂志上勒·柯布西耶与奥赞方联合发表的《自然与创造》一文中,有句关于乔托壁画的犀利评语,再度把乔托带回到聚光灯下,将之作为自然有度与自然过度艺术之间分界的路标。作为一次从勒·柯布西耶画论角度对勒·柯布西耶个人思想史的探幽,本文试图描绘出一张在不同时期里勒·柯布西耶的自然、艺术、建筑认识的位置图。

Unlike Michelangelo and Titian who have enjoyed a long lasting attention by Le Corbusier, Giotto has only been his heroic artist in his youth years for a short period of time. Giotto＇s name, indeed, was rarely mentioned again in Le Corbusier＇s correspondences after his first trip to Italy in 1907. Yet, in the article entitled ＂Nature and Creation＂ co-authored by Le Corbusier and Ozenfant published in L＇Esprit Nouveau in 1923, a poignant remark on Giotto＇s painting highlighted Giotto as a milestone that drew a line between the properly natural and overtly natural art. This paper aims to chart out Le Corbusier＇s intellectual biography in line of his commentaries on painting, and map out his ideas on nature, art and architecture as manifested in the changing attitudes towards Giotto in different times.
