论老舍小说《月牙儿》的连环画改编

On the Comic Strips Adapted from Lao She’s Novel Crescent Moon

画家李全武、徐勇民对老舍短篇小说《月牙儿》的连环画改编意蕴深刻、风格新颖。其作品通过对人物神态的细致描摹、哀婉情节的连贯叙述、象征技法的独特运用,描绘了在底层社会里卑微生活的母女两代人的悲惨命运。连环画以淡灰色系为主、运用拼贴艺术技法加上大量留白的表现风格,将人物凄楚绝望的处境刻画得淋漓尽致,透出无限悲凉的意味,与原著中隽永沉郁的风格相一致。从文字叙事到图像叙事,《月牙儿》是一个较为成功的连环画改编的范例。

Painters Li Quanwu and Xu Yongmin have profound implication and novel style in the comic strips adapted from Lao she’s short story Crescent Moon. The novel depicts the tragic fate of two generations——the mothers and the daughter living humbly in the bottom society by meticulous depiction of characters, coherent narration of sad plots and unique use of symbolic techniques. The color of the comic strip is mainly light gray, with the use of collage art techniques and expression style of a lot of white space. It vividly depicts the sad and desperate situation of the characters, reveals the meaning of infinite sadness, and is consistent with the meaningful and melancholy style in the original work. From text narration to image narration, Crescent Moon is a successful example of adaptation of comic strips.
