Anemones 《银莲花》

爱艺

Renoir loved to paint flowers， and he used them often， spotted about in larger compositions and as subjects in their own right. As may be seen in this Anemones， he was sensitive not only to the color and obvious beauty of flowers， but also to their living character： they stand rigidly upright， they are twisted in growing， and occasionally they droop.

The entire background of the picture may be seen to be washed in with pigment as thin as watercolor. Inasmuch as the dark vase stabilizes the picture， the table-top is almost entirely suppressed， lest its bulk overpower the composition： only a slight lightening of value indicates it.

The blossoms themselves are flicked in with quick stabs of the brush， which in places give them something of the effect of flames; in the upper， lavender ones， small whirling effects are set up. The play of stems and the ragged yellowish clusters help create the irregularity that Renoir loved.

雷諾阿喜欢画花，他的画中常有花的身影，除了较大的作品中能看到花，有的作品干脆就以花为主题。从这幅《银莲花》中或可看出，他不仅对花的颜色和显露之美很敏感，对花的生长特征也很敏感：它们有的笔直站立，有的歪歪扭扭，还有的花瓣低垂。

这幅画的整个背景看上去就像用水彩那样稀薄的颜料浸染的。深色花瓶稳定了画面，几乎完全压住了桌面，以免其体积让画面失衡：只是在明暗上稍稍打亮，表明桌面的存在。

盛开的鲜花则以快速有力的笔触来表现其插入花瓶的姿态，处处呈现出类似火焰的效果;上方淡紫色的花则给人一种轻微旋转的效果。四方伸展的花茎和参差的黄色花簇促成了一种不规则的效果，那是雷诺阿所喜欢的。
