作品賞析 Artwork Appreciation
藝術家李梅樹為新北市三峽人，從留日階段的人物肖像、臺府展時期的林溪風景，到戰後描繪大眾的日常生活，創作方向多元，是臺灣鄉土寫實的代表性人物。作品〈清溪浣衣〉是畫家膾炙人口的村婦河邊洗衣系列作品之一，也是畫家晚年強調光與彩的調和、回歸自然的代表畫作。作品描繪早期三峽溪早晨，婦女們頭戴斗笠，聚集在溪邊洗衣的真實情景，反映臺灣早期常民文化中最親切溫馨的一頁。水面光影的變化相當豐富，溪流方向和水面深淺的表現分明、生動自然。
The artist LI Mei-Shu is from the Sanxia district of New Taipei City. From the portraits he created as a student in Japan, to the natural landscapes that were part of the Taiwan Exhibition, and his postwar depictions of daily life, Li’s myriad creative directions have helped to establish him as a representative figure of Taiwan’s native realist artists. His work, “Launder by the Riversides” is one of the artist’s most widely admired works from his washing clothes series. It is also a piece that exemplifies his return to nature and emphasis of light and shadow that is characteristic of his later work. This realistic painting depicts a scene of women in bamboo hats from an earlier period in Sanxia’s history, gathering at a riverside early in the morning to wash clothes. It reflects the warm and amiable side of the lives and culture of Taiwan’s early inhabitants. The changes of light upon the surface of the water is rich, and the depth and flow of the river is captured distinctly in a manner that is both lively and natural.
