歲月肖像 -- Irving Penn (2)

RIP


( Irving Penn , American Field Service / 1945 )


艾文 潘 另一組為人稱道的作品是「名人系列」
半世紀來諸多重量級的藝術家、作家、意念家
都曾在他的灰色布幔與方正景框間
再現一道凝神、逼人的光采
這些歲月肖像的顯影
精確、純粹、洞澈而靈犀
獨異的色調、光線、型式、擺置 ....
營造成另一種視點與格局
既古典又現代
讓人屏息凝思
過目難忘


艾文 潘 曾說過
相機是令我敬畏的機件
它部份是貴重的樂器
部份是銳利的解剖刀
必須謹慎以待


艾文 潘 建構的這間優異、宏巨的「肖像劇場」
也勢必成為攝影史中一座經典的碑石與殿堂

" A good photograph is one that communicates a fact,
touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person
for having seen it.
It is, in a word, effective . ”

-- Irving Penn
