現代繪畫與音樂思維的平行性
By 謝斐紋
這些年來，在西洋音樂史的教學經驗，使作者更深刻的體認到音樂藝術絕非單獨存在的，而它與其他的〝七大〞藝術，一直是密不可分的。現代音樂的多元與多變，不同的音樂技法，往往引領著獨特的美學觀。同時，這些流派、主義，又往往與現代繪畫發展的軌跡神似，甚至享有同樣的名稱。這引發了作者的疑問，在細微枝節處，二者是否也一樣呢？當作者進一步探究時，發現坊間多數的書籍，多採取單獨領域的探索，音樂的發展與繪畫的動向，個別都有精闢的討論，卻少有相關性的比較。希望藉由此書，在現代繪畫與音樂之間，直接架出一座橋，就是作者開始研究寫書的動機。書寫的方式，盡量以樸實的字彙，希望在「賞析」與「專業」間取得平衡點，引起更多藝文人口對跨領域的重視和興趣。此書的完成只是個初步的開始，它除了可以將現有架構再做擴充外，更可以再與其他藝術領域做橫向的串聯。期待藉由這樣的相互關連，使得藝術網絡更緊密、更扎實。作者以專業和熱情，用很大的耐心、細膩地查察比對，從分科森嚴、浩瀚繁雜的資料庫裡，試著從音樂和繪畫開始進行連結。透過她的努力，音樂人、繪畫人有機會從各自熟悉的經驗跨出，從書裡提供的詳細視聽資料，更輕易地探尋感知和想像世界裡的豐富多元；一般讀者也能從這靈活的作品介紹裡，同時觸及創作與理論可相流通的各種藝術重要活動核心，進入更寬廣、更能觸類旁通的藝術欣賞領域。【秀威資訊科技股份有限公司製作】
