 東瀛之戀-張大千與山田喜美子

張大千與山田喜美子的相識大約是在1953年,那時候張大千54歲。1949年以後,張大千移居海外,經常到日本購買繪畫用具或裝裱字畫,下榻偕樂園。山田喜美子小姐便是在此時照顧張大千的起居生活,二人情愫日篤,甚至約定每週一信。本書即對這些信件進行釋讀、整理。

我們以前服務的美國公司很特別。
它要求員工每月聚會一 小時,談"安全‧健康‧環保"SHE新知等。
我去年生日,原希望祖林兄談一談我們昔日的產品開發的史詩故事。
然而,祖林兄在過70歲之後,認為"健康"這主題,比任何知識都更重要,所以請他為我們開講:

說不定是近年首次去書展。主要目的是去買John Berger的書 (台灣是他的書之翻譯大國,遠比德日法等都積極:約12本,遠流兩本,可能絕版,城邦約10本)。城邦的9本書,散在各種 (7~8)分類中,有5~6本要用中文才方便查。去買幾本香港的書,袋子是三民書局的。英國大出版商T&H今天只跟書商談,明天才賣樣品。過允晨,廖兄不在;過印刻,買本雜誌.......


2月18日討論的是福婁拜的【情感教育】和我的【紀念John Berger】。就我而言,有一條小線索:社會學家的評介:前者是法國【藝術法則】中的說法,後者是英國的博士論文/書:Modernity as Exile: The Stranger in John Berger's Writing。
台灣的台大哲學系和交大,跟法國的學人每年異地交流,我在台大聽過一次,所以不會覺得哲學、科學、文藝等綜合討論的方式很奇怪。

John Berger與Walter Benjamin 兩人都寫過【說故事的人】文章,性質差很大。
John Berger的老友 Ernst Fischer (1899–1972) 在The Necessity of Art.1959/1971/2010 就提到Walter Benjamin 論波特萊爾;2010年的新版,由John Berger寫 Introduction,詳細"紀錄" Ernst Fischer 死亡當天(1972)的情形。
真正影響John Berger的藝術思想的,是Max Raphael ( 1889 – 1952), German-American art historian. ..Fellowships awarded by the Bollingen Foundation,希望讀者讀讀Wikipedia 中關於他的詞條。

Poet Alan Bernheimer provides a long overdue English translation of this French literary classic?Lost Profiles is a retrospective of a crucial period in modernism, written by co-founder of the surrealist movement. Opening with a reminiscence of the international Dada movement in the late 1910s and its transformation into the beginnings of surrealism, Lost Profiles then proceeds to usher its readers into encounters with a variety of literary lions. We meet an elegant Marcel Proust, renting five adjoining rooms at an expensive hotel to "contain" the silence needed to produce Remembrance of Things Past; an exhausted James Joyce putting himself through grueling translation sessions for Finnegans Wake; and an enigmatic Apollinaire in search of the ultimate objet trouvé. Soupault sketches lively portraits of surrealist precursors like Pierre Reverdy and Blaise Cendrars, a moving account of his tragic fellow surrealist René Crevel, and the story of his unlikely friendship with right-wing anti-Vichy critic George Bernanos. The collection ends with essays on two modernist forerunners, Charles Baudelaire and Henri Rousseau. With an afterword by Ron Padgett recounting his meeting with Soupault in the mid 70's and a preface by Breton biographer Mark Polizzotti, Lost Profiles confirms Soupault's place in the vanguard of twentieth-century literature. "Philippe Soupault was a central figure in both the Dada and Surrealist movements but throughout his long life walked under no banner except the one of artistic freedom. In this previously untranslated book, he gives us a collection of richly remembered portraits of some of his best-loved friends from the old days of the new modernism. As a glimpse into that time, these lost portraits are invaluable?and often deeply moving."?Paul Auster, author of Report from the Interior "Reading Alan Bernheimer's splendid translation of Soupault's memoir, I forgot that it was a translation, that it was Soupault writing or talking about another time, about his friends of one century past. I read myself into these vivid and virile (so, sue me!) assaults on time, and Time stopped."?Andrei Codrescu, author of The Posthuman Dada Guide: Tzara and Lenin Play Chess "Philippe Soupault was present at the creation of both Dada and Surrealism?collaborating with André Breton to produce The Magnetic Fields, the first book of automatic writing?before going his own way as a poet, novelist, and journalist. In this present volume, Soupault's fierce independence, deep wit, and generous heart shine through a set of sharply observed portraits of European writers?fellow geniuses, most of them known to him personally. Alan Bernheimer's fine translation allows Soupault's vibrant voice to come to life in our time, and to reanimate in turn some of the greatest spirits of the past century's literature?a marvelous and much-needed apparition."?Andrew Joron, author of Trance Archive: New and Selected Poems "In this dazzling book?adroitly, smoothly & accurately translated by poet Alan Bernheimer?poet & co-founder of Surrealism Philippe Soupault trains his great secret eye & ear to auscultate an astounding range of core 20th century literary figures he knew personally. And does so with serenity, humor & profound insight. Like none of the academic histories covering this period, no matter how well written and documented, this book makes you say as you devour it: 'Wish I had been there.' Enough said, I’m going to call René Crevel right now."?Pierre Joris, author of Barzakh: Poems 2000-2012 Philippe Soupault (1897-1990) served in the French army during WWI and subsequently joined the Dada movement. In 1919, he collaborated with André Breton on the automatic text Les Champs magnétiques, launching the surrealist movement. In the years that followed, he wrote novels and journalism, directed Radio Tunis in Tunisia, and worked for UNESCO.
