| 抄録 | Demonic Divine: Himalayan Art and Beyond marks the Rubin Museum of Art's opening season as the first exhibition to focus on the "wrathful" image in Himalayan Art. Centuries after early missionaries first claimed these works and the artists who made them "demonic", the accompanying catalog takes an in-depth look at the role of "wrathful" deities in Himalayan art and in the world at large.
Focusing on 66 works of art, the book investigates how the violence, grotesque features, and explicit postures of these "wrathful" figures portray protection and benevolence. With nearly two hundred color images highlighting both the visual power and artistic craftsmanship of the artwork, the margin between horror and beauty becomes slim. This extensive catalogue includes entries of all exhibited works along with comprehensive essays by the exhibition's curator, Rob Linrothe (Associate Professor of Art History at Skidmore College), Jeff Watt (Director of the Himalayan Art Website), and Marylin Rhie (Professor of Asian Art at Smith College.) Matthieu Ricard contributes the catalogue's foreword.
Although drawing primarily from Himalayan work in RMA's permanent collection the catalog also includes non-Asian art on loan from major museums and private collections. The "demonic divine" is a fundamental paradox not limited by time or geography. Works included range from ca. 13th century Tibet through 20th century Mexico.
This volume is an essential reference for libraries, art historians, connoisseurs, and any reader seeking horrific beauty - an illustration of the "Demonic Divine."
本書論述的焦點主要集中於Himalayan藝術中，如惡魔般的忿怒神相，範圍從13世紀的西藏到20世紀的墨西哥神祇，共選錄66件作品。在幾近二百個顏色圖相中突出視覺的力量和作品本身的藝術技巧，儘可能疏理出特點和明確的姿勢刻劃，在恐佈的反思中暗示著修行的義理。
屬於忿怒相的作品主要是護法神系列中的神靈，如大黑天、閻魔天、馬頭金剛、勝樂金剛、護法金剛等等，那麼多的猙獰恐佈、鼓目圓睜的憤怒畫像是為了修習的意念能夠迅速地捕捉引起人類內心煩躁的邪魔，如踩在護法神或是本尊腳下非人邪魔，不是別的就是我們內心的貪、嗔、癡所引起之無盡的、無明的煩惱，即是我們內心最大的邪魔和敵人。 |
