智慧的南非艺术

文 / 陆云华  2010年5月8日

　　在南非我们参观过几所美术馆，发现南非的美术作品都具有强烈的民族色彩，不管是一线艺术家，还是二三线艺术家，其作品都有着明显的个人色彩。我们比较熟悉托马斯，其实许多南非艺术家的作品不比托马斯逊色，那些作品给我的印象就是真实，就像他们的笑脸一样，每张脸笑得都不一样。

　　南非的民间美术同样优秀，她们有些古老雕刻艺术比我们的更智慧，我们常常会陶醉于本国历代灿烂艺术的光环里，但也不妨关注一下国土以外的艺术光亮。

South African Art with Wisdom
by Lu Yunhua, on May 8, 2010

We found the works possessed a strong sense of national characteristic when we visited the art museums in South Africa. No matter they are the superb artists or the less important ones, their works have obvious personal features. We are familiar with Dumas, but the other South African artists are outstanding as well. Their art works with authenticity which is like their smiles that everyone has every different smile impressed me deeply.

The folk art in South Africa is also exceptional. Its ancient carvings are even wiser than ours. We'd better pay more attention to the glittering arts abroad while we are always proud of our brilliant native ones.

 终于站在好望角

　　记得上初中时就读到过非洲地理，知道有个著名的海角叫好望角，书上说印度洋和大西洋就在这个经纬线上交汇，那时读着读着眼前梦现出海平线，还有金色的礁石，仿佛看见海鸥在飞翔，多么遥远的国度啊，多么神秘的地方，多么神往……

　　做梦也没想到35年后，我竟然来到了南非美丽的开普敦，并站在了这片神秘礁滩上，遥望无边的海面，似乎看见了两个大洋的分水线。奇迹就这样发生了……

　　有时人真的需要有梦想，需要有幻想，因为美丽的梦想会让人生更有诗意，我期待更多的美妙奇迹还将会继续发生！

Stand on the Cape of Good Hope at Last
by Lu Yunhua, in May 2010

I remember when I was in middle school I had learned the South African geography and knew the famous Cape of Good Hope from then on. The book said that it is the dividing point between the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Oceans. That remind me of the great sea level, the golden reefs and the hovering seagulls. What an inaccessible country, what a mysterious place, what a dreamland.

Never had I thought I would come to the charming Cape Town 35 years later. When I stood on the mysterious reef to overlook the boundless seaside the dividing line of two oceans seemed to appear in front of me. What a marvelous miracle.

Sometimes everyone needs dreams or illusions because the beautiful dreams will make our life more poetic and  worthwhile. What I expect mostly are more wonderful miracles!
