◎ 給家長的話

 

〈蒙娜麗莎〉，法國人稱〈喬孔德夫人〉，義大利人稱〈喬康達夫人〉，繪者達文西。此外，大家對她其實所知不多。

 

 

畫中人是誰？何時著手？受誰委託？畫作有沒有交到委託者手中，
為什麼畫家隨身攜帶...達文西在世，即有追隨者，仿作亦不少，如拉斐爾畫了好幾幅採用〈蒙娜麗莎〉坐姿的肖像畫傳世。十六世紀始，穿衣或裸體，擺出〈蒙娜麗莎〉姿勢女性肖像畫紛紛面世，人們以「喬康達」或「喬孔德」統稱此類作品。達文西的創新，改變了肖像畫的傳統。

 

畫中無一線索可茲證明的謎樣〈蒙娜麗莎〉，在歷史洪流中逐漸迷倒眾生，成為大眾文化的象徵。舊日藝術家著重臨摹，意在習得達文西繪畫技巧，了解動感對應手法。今日，藝術家貴在創新，雖以「蒙娜麗莎」為名，實則顛覆原作、表達主張。於是，杜象嘲諷、達利迷戀...諧擬、隱喻、詩意、反思...與生活、科技結合，屬當代情境的蒙娜麗莎，千變萬化形象，令人目不暇給。

 

本展以「蒙娜麗莎」圖像為跳板，以「說故事」方式詮釋展覽。「遇見蒙娜麗莎」單元，講述創作時空背景、衍生畫作與西方不同時空的麗莎圖像；台灣當代插畫家，邀請你進入奇思幻境的「蒙娜麗莎」，帶著想像力起飛，啟發孩童看圖說故事樂趣；服飾設計師假想當代蒙娜麗莎，藉著服裝展現自我。透過體驗、觀察，提供孩童探索藝術品風格、材質特色的機會；樂在動手創作，思考「蒙娜麗莎」驚奇，激盪創意，提出自己另類觀察！

Little Mona Lisa
We Are All Mona Lisas—A Letter for Parents

 

◎ About this Exhibition—A Letter for Parents

 

Mona Lisa, also called La Joconde in French or La Gioconda in Italian, is created by Leonardo da Vinci. However, people do not know much about this painting.

 

Who was actually the model in the painting? When did da Vinci start the painting? Who commissioned the painting? Did the client receive the painting? Why did da Vinci carry this painting around with him? When da Vinci was alive, there were already a group of followers, making imitations of his works. For example, Raphael painted several portraits in who the models posed just like that in Mona Lisa. Since the beginning of the 16th century, there have been a deluge of portraits of dressed or nude females in the Mona Lisa pose. These kinds of works are called "Giocondas" or "Giocandas". The innovation of da Vinci in his Mona Lisa has changed the tradition of portraits.

 

With so many mysteries about it, Mona Lisa has become a captivating symbol of art and culture. Many artists in the past imitated this painting in order to appreciate and learn about da Vinci's painting skills. By contrast, modern artists focus more on innovation and, instead of imitating the painting, they infuse their own creativity and twist into Mona Lisa to express their own ideas. For example, there is a re-interpretation of Mona Lisa rich in sarcasm by Duchamp, a narcissistic version of Mona Lisa by Dali... and many, many other different versions of Mona Lisa with metaphoric, poetic and introspective messages about life, technology and a wide variety of topics. In the modern context, there are kaleidoscopic images of Mona Lisa for people's eyes.

 

This exhibition tells different stories about Mona Lisa, guiding viewers to meet different kinds of Mona Lisa in different times and spaces. In addition, there are imaginary and childlike re-interpretations of Mona Lisa by contemporary Taiwanese illustrators, adding more fun into the story-telling of this exhibition. There are also outfits especially designed for Mona Lisa by contemporary designs. This exhibition is intended to provide children opportunities of exploring different artistic styles and creative materials and coming up with their unique re-interpretations of Mona Lisa through their hand-on experiences and observations.
