拍品資料及來源

此件拍品乃是韋斯頓最標誌性的作品之一。在一九三○年夏天,藝術家用了四天的時間拍攝了一套以燈籠椒為主題的系列作品,《燈籠椒(30號)》成為韋斯頓最心儀和其最受歡迎的椒習作,更是藝術家走向藝術改革的重要一步。

韋斯頓在一九三○年八月八日的日記中描述了此系列作品,「這是一套令人滿意的經典系列,燈籠椒不再只是椒,它變成了抽象,不再被外表或心態和情感所限制,遠遠超過世界的認知和價值觀…相比以往的作品,我近期的創作更代表我未來的方向。」(Nancy Newhall編《愛德華·韋斯頓日記,二冊》紐約: Horizon加州出版社, 181頁)

不同於一九二九年的習作,一九三○年的《燈籠椒(30號)》和其他作品都精準使用8x10英寸負片的長處,達到近乎抽象的效果。韋斯頓記錄燈籠椒的線條,清晰光滑的表皮下又暗示著生命的腐朽。在前作中,藝術家把燈籠椒放置於麻布或碗內創作,在新作則將燈籠椒放置於錫漏斗裡,強調了主題的弧度、無限的背景,更突顯出光線。
