刚看到版上在讨论画画是否追求逼真写实,又看到苏轼这首诗。没查原诗是哪首,呵呵:
Who Says a Painting Must Look Like Life?
Written on paintings of flowering branches by Secretary Wang of Yen-ling...
(这里没复印) two poems.
Who says a painting must look like life?
He sees only with children's eyes.
Who says a poem must stick to the theme?
Poetry is certainly lost on him.
Poetry and painting share a single goal -
clean freshness and effortless skill.
Pien Luan's sparrows live on paper;
Chao Chang's flowers breathe with soul.
But what are they beside these scrolls,
bold sketches, with spirit in every stroke?
Who'd think one dot of red
could call up a whole unbounded spring!
(Translated by Burton Watson)
Pien Luan lived in the late 8th century; Chao Chang's dates are 998-1022.
