From NPR 名畫真偽你能一眼看出嗎？現在好好讓眼球運動一下吧。

| 上圖有兩幅十八世紀法國畫家Fragonard的作品，猜猜看哪一幅畫是真跡？除了猜出哪一幅是真跡之外，也要一併把你的理由說出來喔。(亂猜一通也可以是理由) |
 |
| 類似的作品教練一秒鐘就能辨別真偽，因為教練是有受過訓練的人，哈哈哈。 但是並非所有的畫作都能一眼辨別真偽， 所以拍賣會或是博物館得仰賴史學專家與科學儀器才能鑑識出真假。 但即便如此，有時候連機器還有專家也會出錯呢！ |
名畫的真偽難辨，尤其當今科技發達，透過先進的化學與數位技巧，做工精緻的偽畫也能瞞過一流的鑑定師。尤其在真跡失傳了幾百年以後，少了原著在一邊可以細細比較，一般鑑定也只能透過畫布或是顏料與灰塵這些元素來化驗真偽，於是百密總有一疏，假的變成真的，甚至還因此上了國際拍賣會的拍賣作品不在少數。這年頭因為花天價買到假畫的人還真多，類似官司也經常上演。不過說來說去，藝術的價值本來就是人炒作出來的，如果你也喜歡藝術，這篇NPR的報導你一定會喜歡。
對於偽畫有興趣的人，不妨去觀賞蘇富比偽畫大師這部得過獎的影片。這部紀錄片教練覺得挺好看的。而且即便對藝術沒有研究也不影響收視樂趣。

Can You Spot The Fake Fragonard?
NPR
SCOTT SIMON, HOST:
I'm not sure a picture is worth a thousand words一圖勝千語. But why do some pictures
sell for millions and others that seem identical一模一樣的 go for just a few dollars? Since February, the Dulwich Picture
Gallery in South London has hung a fake 假畫among its permanent collection of 270
Old Masters. Maybe we should call it a tribute Old Master - a hand-painted, unapologetic毫無悔意或是膽怯的, stroke-for-stroke copy複製畫 of a great painting, produced at the
Meishing Oil Painting Manufacture Company - one of many art factories in
China where hundreds of artists have given their technical skills技法 - that words seems earned真是有本事來著(技法高超) - make exact oil-painted
copies of Monets莫內,
Matisses馬諦斯,
Picassos畢卡索 and
other masterpieces大師作品. The Gallery invited visitors to detect找出the knock-off 假貨appearing among masterpieces.
Nearly 3,000
people cast votes - only 347 guessed correctly. The replica
Old Master was an imitation Jean-Honore Fragonard painting, "Young
Woman," an 18th century portrait of a young woman who has dark brown
hair tied
loosely綁的鬆鬆的(馬尾)頭髮 and kind brown eyes.
Dr. Xavier Bray, the gallery's chief curator策展主席, says the idea wasn't to try to get gallery goers to play international art
detective but to look deeply and intently專注地 at every painting on their walls
- not just fan out 全部攤開來 to find the Canalettos(義大利畫家迦納萊托的作品), Gainsboroughs英國畫家托馬斯·庚斯博羅作品and Rembrandts荷蘭畫家林布蘭作品. "Never before have I seen
so many people actively looking at each painting," he said. "The visual
exercise of comparing and contrasting比較 will demonstrate how exciting it
is to
engage with an original work of art."
The last time a Fragonard came up for action被拿出來拍賣, it sold for $28 million. This
replica Fragonard was painted-to-order透過客戶下單的方式特別繪製的
in China and sold for a little over a $100. Try to buy even a good
pair of shoes for that price這個價錢可能連一雙好鞋子都買不到. But does imitating an original so
cheaply make the original seem less valuable? I was prepared to be outraged生氣/不滿 when I logged into the websites上相關網站of a few of the Chinese art factories中國的仿古藝術工廠. Instead, I came close to幾乎/快要 ordering replicas
of Hopper's美國當代畫家
"Nighthawks" and Caillebotte's法國畫家 "Paris: A Rainy Day" because I
love looking deeply into both paintings and art prints can look flat印刷複製品視覺效果太平了. I imagine what it would be like to hang
a Seurat法國畫家
over our cat's food bowl and tell visitors, "she thinks Renoir painted too
many dogs."
The replica could even be a reminder that real originality真正的藝術與創意 - I won't try to
stretch the word genius我不會濫用天才這個字眼 - isn't only the skills to paint with
color, words or notes, but to see something no one else does, and help it come alive.真正的畫家不只是技法傳神，更重要的是能看到他人無法看見的，並賦予這些觀察生命。
