這幅作品通常被稱為 《讀書會》(Reading Group),是法國著名插畫大師 尚-雅克·桑貝(Jean-Jacques Sempé) 於 2018 年 10 月 15 日為美國知名雜誌《紐約客》(The New Yorker)所創作的秋季書籍特輯封面。 [1, 2]
畫中描繪了十幾個孩子密密麻麻地擠在一張沙發上,全神貫注地共讀著同一本書。這幅作品看似簡單、溫馨,實則蘊含了桑貝一貫的溫柔筆觸與深刻的社會人文關懷,可以從以下幾個層面來解讀: [1]
1. 對「純粹閱讀」與「童年純真」的讚美
2. 跨越背景的「多元與包容」
3. 桑貝對自身童年遺憾的溫柔投射
4. 幽默而溫馨的空間張力
這幅畫不僅僅是在宣導閱讀的好處,更是桑貝在 80 多歲高齡時,送給這個喧囂世界的一劑解藥:只要有一本好書、一群心無旁騖的同伴,即使世界再混亂,我們也能在一方小小的沙發上,找到最溫暖的依靠。
