拍品資料及來源

勒邁耶是印尼現代藝術史上極為重要的人物,峇里島在他的印象派畫風下美輪美奐,啟發了幾代藝術家與旅者。這份對美的堅持奠定了他的藝術哲理。

勒邁耶受高更在大溪地的作品影響,同樣選擇在另類文化的異國情調中尋找繆斯。1932年,五十二歲的勒邁耶旅至峇里島,與當地人民建立起深厚的感情,餘生為這片土地與其孕育的人文作畫。

《廟宇中》所展現的是勒邁耶最愛題材之一,三個峇里女子優雅席地而坐,宛如美惠女神般靈秀動人。其中一人望向遠處,另外二人則正喃喃細語,畫家巧妙捕捉這一親暱時刻,讓觀者也可近身參與其中。

勒邁耶真正的繆斯女神是他娶為妻子的雷貢舞者妮·帕洛(Ni Pollock)。此畫中坐在陽傘旁的女子便是伊人,她全神貫注於同伴,對外間世界渾然不覺。雖然她的身子略微傾向觀者,但目光卻在別處,越發撩人。

小島燦爛的陽光下色彩鮮豔豐富,勒邁耶以短而有力的粗獷筆觸記錄下這光芒與繁色。畫中女子頭戴木槿,與樹上紅花和地上粉簇相互呼應,尤見大自然的如詩炫麗。
