人民會館·布拉格 The Municipal House, Prague （English after Mandarin)
新藝術風格與裝置藝術風格是我最喜歡的幾個之一。不像巴洛克風格那樣的繁複樣式，這兩種風格的藝術品時常能見到自然引導視覺的幾何線條，進而讓人看清楚作品的細節。當觀看如燭台或是精緻的室內裝潢一類的巴洛克作品時，我總是很難集中注意力觀看細節的部分。
相對於浮誇的巴洛克風格，新藝術與裝置藝術風發散著優雅的氣質。有時工業風也會被混進室內裝潢的整體氛圍。
布拉格的人民會館就是這樣一個符合以上敘述的地方。這裡同時也是捷克斯洛伐克共和國於1918年發表獨立宣言的場地。而每年六月這個奇幻的地方也會舉辦一場由捷克總統開場的音樂盛會。
這裡集三千寵愛於一身的緣故是它那匯集當代30位知名的捷克斯洛伐克藝術家一齊打造的精工。大部分畫作都涵蓋民族主義主題。有些展現了社會主義風格。
下回你來布拉格時，一定要來這參與導覽。我呢非常喜歡我參加的導覽。
Art Nuevo and Art Deco are two of my favorite art styles. Unlike baroque style's loud appearance, artworks of the two styles often contain geometric lines that smoothly guide our sight, which allows us to see the fine details of the artworks. When looking at a baroque artwork such as a candle stick or the elaborate decoration of a house, I find it hard to concentrate or focus on the details.
Compared with the flamboyant baroque style, Art Nuevo and Art Deco styles give out a more elegant aura. Sometimes, the Industrial flavor also gets mixed in the overall ambiance of the interior decor.
The Municipal House in Prague is such a place that matches the above description. This is also the place where the Independence Declaration of the Republic of Czech Slovakia took place in 1918. Each June this marvelous location hosts a music festival which is commenced by the President of Czech.
The reason for all the glory and attention given to this fantastic site is due to the collaboration of 30 well-known Czech-Slovakian contemporary artists. Most paintings are with the nationalism motifs. Some even express the form of socialism.
If you are ever in Prague, make sure you make a stop there and participate in one of the guided tours. I certainly enjoyed mine.
