لوحة Ecstasy



لوحة Ecstasy
أو "نشـوة" عبارة عن مشهد طبيعي وهي للفنان الأمريكي ماكسفيلـد باريـش Maxfield Parrish رسمها في مطلع القرن الماضي. و تُعتبر من أجمل أعماله وأكثرها رواجا. باريش الفنان المبدع، كان هو و فان غوخ وبول سيزان الثلاثة الأكثر شعبية في العالم اعتمادا على نسبة مبيعات لوحاتهم آنذاك. كان باريش يُغذي لوحاته بالضوء المبهر الآتي من اللامكان، اللامكان الذي يعرفه هو وحده وهنا تتشكل حقيقة ومصب الإبداع، لذا صار لون الطبيعة المسكون بكل الألوان. أحببته هنا في الـ "نشـوة" .. أحببت روحه التي كانت تشع من خلال اللوحات التي ما كانت إلا من روح متذوقة للجمال الطبيعي الطاغي بعنفوانٍ متفرد.


ما الذي يمكن أن نراه في لوحة نشوة ..
أُفق مُغطى بالغيوم الآتية من هناك للرقص أمام الشمس، و سماء زرقاء تُحاول أن تُزيح الغيمات لترى الشمس، سلسلة جبال تنحدر في لحظة سكون تام، و بعض الأشجار هناك مُحتمية بالجبال الدافئة، نهر يسقي الجبال الممتدة لتقوى، منحدر صخري ملّون تعتلي حافته فتاة غجرية خرجت من أحد الجبال تلك لتغتسل بضوء الشمس الأصفر الغارب والمنصب بحنو على الغيمات والأشجار والجبال وعلى فستانها البنفسجي الذي تشرَّب الضوء الأصفر وصار مشعا، وحار حتى دار بين أن يكون نسمة أو غيمة أو جبل أو ريح.


ما الذي يمكن أن نراه في روح نشوة ..
رتابة تُعانق فوضى الريح وترسم لوحة لكأنما تنبجس منها النسمات العطرية والضوء المُشع وأهازيج الجبال الصموتة. أنثى غجرية مُكتملة الجنون تقرأ الشمس حُبا حبا، تتوضأ ببقايا النور لتكتمل الأسطورة، ويقرأها الضوء الساخر من أخمص قدميها إلى أخر النسمات التي سكنت شعرها و.. طارت. انكسار الشمس المُكابرة في لحظاتها الأخيرة ما قبل الغياب.

من ذا يرى فيما نرى ..أرواحُ كثيرة تُعانق أرواحٌ متأتية من البعيد؟ ثرثرة الضوء المُتدرجة على الجبال القاسية بحنو؟ فوضى منتشية فرحا لالتقائها وطن يتسع كلما اتسع جنونها؟ جسد واحد يزرع بكل الغيمات والنسمات والجبال والشمس بعض روحه ليغيب بها؟ لفيف غجري فوضوي من صنع الفطرة الجبلية القاهرة الساحرة؟ إعلان جبلي عن ميلاد الأنثى الأسطورة المضيئة التي تتلو وصايا الشمس؟ جنون الفطرة الندية ورحابة الروح الصافية التي وُلدت من رحم الأرض بثوب الجبال القاسية؟ لحظات انتشاء لا يُسمع فيها إلا الصمت الكثير هنا والضوء؟ ألوان بااردة كلحظة ميلاد أفكار الطفولة؟ طيور لا تُرى، جاءت لتسابق الفتاة الغجرية نحو الشمس؟ و.... ابتسامة ساحرة من تلك الفتاة ..لأن الشمس ملأتها نورا.. ؟


نشوة .. حكاية من نسج الطبيعة والفنتازيا والرومانسية .. من رؤى فنان يُحسن التقاط الحكايات المثيرة من الطبيعة ليدونها في لوحة أبدية الجمال .. جميلة بالقدر الذي حاولنا أن نقرؤها فقرأتنا بتفاصيلها الكثيرة .. وباريش إنسان بروحٍ عظيمة .. أكاد أن ألتمس هذا من خلال نشوة.
ومن الجدير بالذكر بان هذا الفنان الرائع قد انتج كثيرا من اللوحات الاكثر من مبهجة ومذهلة 
واليكم سرد كامل عن نتاجه الراقي اتمنى ان تجدوا معه المتعة

About Maxfield Parrish

During the Golden Age of Illustration, Maxfield Parrish's "beautiful settings and charming figures" enchanted the American public. His work includes immense murals in office buildings and hotels, magazine covers, and advertisements as well as his book illustrations. Many of his illustrations to children's books, still popular today, are the result of his struggle to make a living as an artist in his early years around the turn of the 20th century.
He was born Frederick Parrish in 1870 in Philadelphia, but he took the name Maxfield after his Quaker grandmother. His father, Stephen, was also an artist and Parrish's greatest influence. He originally studied architecture, an interest that is evident in his paintings. He married his wife Lydia 1895.

Daybreak, his arguably most famous picture, was created for the art print market. It is still popular to this day.
In 1900, Parrish contracted tuberculosis, and then suffered a nervous breakdown. Around that time, he switched from illustrations to oil painting. His oil paintings became very popular, with their brilliant colors and magical luminosity, until well into the 1940s. To achieve these magical effects, he would apply numerous layers of thin, transparent oil, alternating with varnish over stretched paper, a painstaking process that achieved both high luminosity and extraordinary detail.
The tuberculosis hung on and Parrish went to Arizona to convalesce in the dry heat there. While in Arizona, he was commissioned to do a series of landscapes. He began painting and traveling on commission and his career took off.
Parrish worked at his home in Cornish, New Hampshire, called The Oaks. The Oaks was a popular destination for guests during the summers but in the frozen New Hampshire winters, Parrish dedicated himself to his painting.
In 1905, Parrish's met Susan Lewin, a 16-year old girl hired as a nanny for his son Dillwyn. Her image appears often in paintings from this time through the 1920s. Over time, Susan became Parrish's assistant, model for his paintings, and eventually his lover. His wife, Lydia, and Maxfield grew increasingly estranged and she left him in 1911. Susan stayed with Maxfield for another 50 years.
From the 1930s until 1960, when he stopped painting, Maxfield Parrish refocused his attention on the world around him, producing a series of calendar landscapes. Yet even these retain the magical, window-to-the-otherworld quality that permeates all of his work.
Parrish died at 95 in 1966, at a time when his work was enjoying a renaissance of interest.

Maxfield Parrish Posters and Art Prints


Maxfield Parrish Posters Very large Maxfield Parrish posters are rare and costly when you do find them, although you can still find some that were printed by Paper Tiger Press in La Jolla, California, in the late '60s and early '70s. However, alternatives, such as nicely framing a page from a Maxfield Parrish calendar, also work. You'll want to avoid choosing a plate from a book because older Maxfield Parrish books in good condition can be quite valuable valuable.
