Fafner's 遁世居

說一下對這次展覽的觀感。

首先，由於初時看到一些網路上的負面評價，對這項展出的印象並不是太好；加上我怕吵、怕擠，也就不想去自討苦吃。

而實地自己去過一次，才知道這是多慮了。吵和擠，可能和觀賞人數有直接關係，這有點像是買 3C 產品一樣，「早買早享受，晚買有折扣」，不想擠破頭嘗鮮的我，享受到的折扣就是少一點的人潮，和較佳的觀賞環境了。

該有的也都有了

有人嫌來台的油畫太少，或說「名畫」都沒來。當然，如果「名畫」僅止於一般人都耳熟能詳的那幾幅，那這次來台的畫的確名聲不夠響亮；但退一步說，世界各地知名的美術館，若能夠擁有個一幅梵谷名畫，那都已是「鎮館之寶」，怎可能輕易漂洋過海外借展出？

而仔細看看展出的油畫名單，可看出這的確是經過挑選，而且儘量面面俱到的。有自畫像、有花卉靜物、有物品靜物、有織工、有農婦、有村莊風景、有臨摹的宗教作品，還有絲柏和橄欖樹，差不多該有的也都有了。好吧，你真的要看向日葵，那請算算世界上僅有幾幅，而這幾幅又分散在哪裡再說吧！

我還聽人說，這次導覽手冊編得不好，可有可無；因此我決定要去看展覽之前，還特地花時間找了不少資料。我在售票處有翻了一下手冊，覺得這本小書很適合拿來當作預習的資料，現場的話，專心欣賞畫作與畫的說明就可以了。說真的，這本手冊比我想像之中要好得多，早知如此，我會在看展前先買一本回來好好研究，這樣到了現場，收穫一定更多。
