拍品資料及來源

安妮塔·馬賽賽·何的藝術眼光獨到,是戰後菲律賓最知名的十三位現代藝術家中唯一一位女性,其早期風格受印象派啟發,在五十年代則做出關鍵性的改變,漸趨現代主義,此作便是一佳例。

馬賽賽·何在這一時期的創作受其師肯尼斯·哈耶·米勒(Kenneth Hayers Miller)影響,線條果斷明確,所畫對象以幾何形狀代表。此幅《巡遊》中可見三個婦女與一個小孩緊圍在一起,燃點蠟燭,流露濃厚的家庭、信仰及傳統感情,是菲律賓的歷史與文化中最能引起共鳴的題材。馬賽賽·何運用細膩瀅透的蛋彩配合鄉村之景,營造出似冥想的肅和,而婦女黑色的頭巾則添上一分恰到好處的對比。

「藝術家利用大膽明快的筆觸及光暗對比表達動態,而三角形的頭巾與長方形的裙擺則構成基本幾何的簡潔形狀。畫中婦女佔據整幅畫面,她們輕輕耳語,準備著巡遊…」
