到纽约后买的头两本画册,一是莫奈,一是梵高。说这是机缘凑巧,不错,说我对这两位近代的画家有些偏爱,也是事实。不过,既然我的这种喜好多半是建立在由画册中得来的印象上面,那末,在我能够直接面对这两位大师不止一幅真迹的时候,竟又重新感到陌生和震撼,也就很容易理解了。 To buy the first two albums in New York, one Monet, one Van Gogh. It is a coincidence that this is a good chance. It is true that I have some preference for these two modern painters. However, since most of my preferences are based on the impressions I received from the catalog, I feel strange and shocking again when I can confront the more than one authenticity of these two masters directly. Very easy to understand.
