Klimt — The Kiss
Klimt (Unknown)克林姆把两个人包在金色里面。你分不清他们的边界在哪。
Practical Integration
两个人跪在花丛边,或者是悬崖边——背景看不清楚。男人低头吻女人脸颊,女人闭眼,手搭在他手上。他们的衣服是金色的,跟背景混在一起。看久了分不清人和装饰的边界。克林姆1908年画这幅《吻》,用了大量金箔,把人变成图案。 贲,是文饰。卦辞说:「亨,小利有攸往。」亨通,但只是小利。为什么只是小利?装饰不是大事吗?《象》曰:「山下有火,贲。君子以明庶政,无敢折狱。」火在山下烧,照亮山脚,但照不远。日常小事可以用贲,用仪式,用形式。但大事不行。断案不能靠装饰。 克林姆那幅画,金光闪闪,很好看。但我看不见那两个人的脚——他们站在哪里?悬崖边吗?花田里吗?金色把一切都盖住了。这就是贲的问题:太美了,美到让人忘记问其他问题。
