书摘:《道连·格雷的画像》自序

The Preface序

The artist is the creator of beautiful things.

艺术家是美的作品的创造者。艺术的宗旨是展示艺术本身, 同时把艺术家隐藏起来。

To reveal art and conceal the artist is art’s aim.

批评家应能把他得自美的作品印象用另一种样式或新的材料表达出来。

The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things.

自传体是批评的最高形式,也是最低形式。

The highest as the lowest form of criticism is a mode of autobiography. Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming.

在美的作品中发现丑恶含义的人是堕落的,而且堕落得一无可爱之处。这是一种罪过。在美的作品中发现美的含义的人是有教养的。这种人有希望。

This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope.

认为美的作品仅仅意味着美的人才是上帝的选民。

They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only beauty.

书无所谓道德的或不道德的。书有写得好的或写得糟的。仅此而已。

There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written.

That is all.

十九世纪对现实主义的憎恶,犹如从镜子里照见自己面孔的凯列班的狂怒。

The nineteenth century dislike of realism is the rage of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass.

十九世纪对浪漫主义的憎恶,犹如从镜子里照不见自己面孔的凯列班的狂怒。

The nineteenth century dislike of romanticism is the rage of Caliban not seeing his own face in a glass.

人的精神生活只是艺术家创作题材的一部分,艺术的道德则在于完美地运用并不完美的手段。

The moral life of man forms part of the subject-matter of the artist, but the morality of art consists in the perfect use of an imperfect medium. No artist desires to prove anything. Even things that are true can be proved.

艺术家并不企求证明任何事情。即使是天经地义的事情也是可以证明的。

No artist has ethical sympathies.

艺术家没有伦理上的好恶。艺术家如在伦理上有所臧否,那是不可原谅的矫揉造作。

艺术家从来没有病态的。艺术家可以表现一切。

An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style. No artist is ever morbid. The artist can express everything.

思想和语言是艺术家艺术创作的手段。

Thought and language are to the artist instruments of an art.

邪恶与美德是艺术家艺术创作的素材。

Vice and virtue are to the artist materials for an art.

从形式着眼,音乐家的艺术是各种艺术的典型,

From the point of view of form, the type of all the arts is the art of the musician.

感觉着眼,演员的技艺是典型。

From the point of view of feeling, the actor’s craft is the type.

一切艺术同时既有外观,又有象征。

All art is at once surface and symbol.

有人要钻到外观底下去,那由他自己负责。

Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril.

有人要解释象征意义,那由他自己负责。

Those who read the symbol do so at their peril.

其实,艺术这面镜子反映的是照镜者,而不是生活。

It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.

对一件艺术品的看法不一,说明这作品新颖、复杂、重要。

Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the work is new, complex, and vital.

批评家们尽可意见分歧,艺术家不会自相矛盾。

When critics disagree, the artist is in accord with himself.

一个人做了有用的东西可以原谅,只要他不自鸣得意。一个人做了无用的东西,只要他视若至宝,也可宽宥。

We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely.

一切艺术都是毫无用处的。

All art is quite useless.

up

Pixar最新的预告片《up》也出来了。《WALL ·E》之后,他们又要创造奇迹。从预告片里看上去,主角好像是一个小老头和一个小朋友。他们是越来越强大了,《WALL ·E》没准能获个大奖,《UP》的设定,似乎也是十分唯美和追求理想。美好的事情,在明年五月就将发生。

也想写一个类似于气球旅行的故事,预告片里的那一幕实在感人,以至于我控制不了自己不去写一个类似的故事,或者把我看到的情形用文字表述出来:气球经过女孩的窗外,就好像深海的沙丁鱼群,在墙壁上投射出彩色的,流动的投影。

看预告片去!

入世

esri.jpg

晚上躺在床上看《唯美叙事》,冗长的篇名表,只要看二十页以上,就会无比困。

日间做了一个标志,当时想要的是,在一个圆体里,用切割线的方式,展现出天空、风、山丘、城市、湖水、河流。最后用几个有倍数关系的椭圆切割而得到了一个这样的形,做为环境科学研究所的标志提案之一。提案未必通过,复杂的渐变也不一定能够在现实中有比较好的应用效果。但是这个标志所想要传达的那种,不依附于任何一个具体图形而仅通过形和色彩的契合而获得的和谐,是我非常喜欢的一种感觉。

设计师所站的高度,大概和文学家,艺术家,科学家所站的高度一样。虽然我们的职责是通过设计,创造解决问题的机会。但是从更高的角度上来说,设计是一种沟通的姿态,借着设计的方法,首先传达给客户,然后传达给客户的客户。传达的是什么?是陈腐的或者无趣的世俗偏见?还是什么巧思妙想?在他人与设计品交流的时候,也许答案自会揭晓。

想要出世,先去入世。

猜奥运

奥运官方网站6月4日讯 当地时间6月4日,国际奥林匹克委员会在雅典举行的为期三天的国际奥委会执行委员会上正式宣布美国的芝加哥、日本的东京、巴西的里约热内卢和西班牙的马德里成为申办2016年奥林匹克夏季运动会的候选城市。

  此前,已经有7个城市向国际奥委会递交了申办报告,它们分别是:美国芝加哥、捷克布拉格、日本东京、巴西里约热内卢、阿塞拜疆巴库、卡塔尔多哈和西班牙马德里。最终美国的芝加哥、日本的东京、巴西的里约热内卢和西班牙的马德里从7个申请城市中被一致候选为2016年奥林匹克夏季运动会的申办城市。

  “所有的候选城市都具备了很高的水准,”国际奥委会主席罗格表示,“这对于奥林匹克运动的健康发展是一份礼物。我向这些候选城市表示祝贺,同时也希望那些没有入选的城市能够从这一进程中受益。”

  据悉,以上四个候选城市必须在2009年2月12日前向国际奥委会提交一份详细的申办报告,等待奥委会考察团的评估。届时,国际奥委会将前往每一个候选城市进行实地考察,并在决出最终承办城市之前的一个月公布考察结果。2009年10月2日,国际奥委会将在丹麦首都哥本哈根确定2016年奥运会承办城市。

 

看来大家都对2016年的奥运十分关注,纷纷转载2016年几个申办国家的标志设计。RIO标类似WEB2.0风格,比较放开,芝加哥的标很游戏很热潮的样子,MADRID的标挺好看,面积大也集中看起来表现力很强,但是不知道会不会有招手和拒绝的同样的语意的传达不明问题。TOKYO的标很棒,打结的意思很日本,那个链接符的红点也很不错。字体是几个标志中最棒的字体。DOHA的标志抽风的程度胜过了伦敦,有点太过于随意放开了效果…PRAHA的标志太柔和,没有那种强势的感觉,植物的感觉也很让人担心。BAKU的标…怎么和楼盘标一样!

以上评论不代表世界人民和奥组委员观点,个人评价而已。

那么,你觉得哪个是你最喜欢的?

I Know It’s Gonna Happen Someday

David Bowie 《Black Tie White Noise》 t11.

My love wherever you are
Whatever you are, don’t lose faith
I know it’s gonna happen someday to you
Please wait
Please wait
Wait, don’t lose faith
You say that the day never arrives
And it’s never seemed so far away
But I know it’s gonna happen someday to you

Please wait
Please wait
Wait, don’t lose faith
Please wait
Please wait
Please, don’t lose faith
Don’t lose faith

You say that the day never arrives
And it seems so far away
But I know it’s gonna happen someday
Someday to you
To you
Please wait

注定发生

我的爱人,无论何处
不管怎样,不要失去信心
一切注定发生
耐心等待
耐心等待
你说这一天永远不会到来
说它从未像现在这般遥远
但是我知道它注定回来

耐心等待
耐心等待
请你不要失望
不要失去信心
