內容摘要:美国现代主义诗人威廉斯将舞蹈视为连接生活和艺术必不可缺的链条。他早年的诗作《舞》和晚年的诗作《户外婚礼舞会》,均取材于16世纪尼德兰绘画大师勃鲁盖尔晚年的画作《农民舞蹈》和《婚礼舞会》。威廉斯以画家的眼光运用诗行、诗韵、诗词模拟再现勃鲁盖尔绘画作品的构图形式、韵律节奏和动感活力,同时借助声音和视觉元素呈现了农民舞者踏着音乐旋律,激情四射、无拘无束舞蹈狂欢的场景,给读者一种虽身处其外,却宛若置身其中的感受和体验。

20世纪许多欧美诗人将尼德兰文艺复兴时期最伟大的艺术大师老彼得·勃鲁盖尔(Pieter Brueghel the Elder,1525-1569)视为最喜欢的缪斯(Verdonk 231)。美国现代派诗人威廉·卡洛斯·威廉斯(William Carlos Williams,1883-1963)也毫不例外,他不仅敬重画家勃鲁盖尔,还从其绘画作品中汲取养分,获得创作灵感。他曾以勃鲁盖尔的10幅绘画作品为蓝本创作了《勃鲁盖尔的绘画》(Pictures from Brueghel)艺格敷词系列诗。威廉斯之所以敬重勃鲁盖尔,喜爱其作品,主要源于他们相似的艺术创作生涯经历,以及相同的艺术追求和审美观。①乔尔·科纳罗(Joel Conarroe)曾准确恰当地概述了他们之间的契合:……p>
