我們必須爭脫傳統的束縛,同時不忘傳統仍有正面意義,因為中國繪畫是世界上最偉大的瑰寶之一,我們自己的傳統那麼豐富,那麼高強,中國繪畫是對空間、光線最恰當的經營。

趙無極
趙無極在1948年赴法,歐洲的建築、風景和文化與他過去所生活、經驗的中國是如此不同,他欣喜地張開雙手擁抱西方文化,在抵法初期的日子,平時除了去美術館,他喜歡旅遊,以步行或乘車走遍城市的每個角落、每座山巒,這段期間他的創作以風景、靜物繪畫為主,試圖將眼之所見、心之所感全然地表達,並探索屬於自我的創作語彙。而當他對西方藝術愈加了解,他同時體會到古老的中國傳統亦有厚實的文化底蘊,特別是中國水墨繪畫對於光線、空間的處理有其獨到的美感,如「以簡馭繁」和「寫意」的美學都是他所能挖掘的寶藏,他深入其中,將所得的理解與感悟化以西方的油彩作藝術的表達,《18.08.50》即創生在這樣的背景中。
在《18.08.50》,趙無極以溫款的橘與黃褐為主色,透過細微色調的轉變營造出一個如中國山水畫煙雨朦朧充滿詩意的空間,當中施以輕盈的墨黑色線,隨著線條的跌宕起伏,一夕陽西下,遠山橫越的自然之景展現在我們的眼前。畫中的太陽大得不可思議,在此西方的寫實與透視法則變得不再重要,他所描繪的是其心眼所觀、所感的自然,當中陽光的微暈映照著躺在草地上的一對戀人,他們一絲不掛地相擁著彼此,如同亞當與夏娃般的純真,與自然天地融合為一體,呈現一動人的寧靜的恬適之美,時間彷彿都在此暫留。
回顧50年代初期,趙無極的風景主題作品中,人物通常僅是當中的配角,將人物提升為畫中的主角者,非常罕見,此為一難得之作。作品最初由瑞士航運業巨頭暨知名藏家阿倫貝格(Teto Ahrenberg)收藏,其以收藏畢卡索(Pablo Picasso)、馬諦斯(Henri Matisse)和雷捷(Fernand Leger)等二十世紀西方現代藝術大師作品聞名。作品來源清晰,現今釋出為藏家購藏珍品之良機。
