a 温斯顿丘吉尔——他的另一种生活玛丽索姆斯我的父亲温斯顿丘

吉尔是在40几岁开始迷恋上绘画的当时他正身处逆境。1915年作

为海军大臣他深深地卷入了达达尼尔海峡的一场战役。原本那次战

役是能够缩短一场血腥的世界大战的但它却失败了人员伤亡惨重为

此丘吉尔作为公务员和个人都付出了代价他被免去了海军部的职务

失去了显赫的政治地位。“我本以为他会因忧伤而死的。”他的妻子

克莱门泰因说。被这一不幸压垮的他同家人一起退隐到萨里郡的一

个乡间居处---耘锄农场。在那儿正如丘吉尔日后所回忆的“绘画女神

拯救了我” 一天他正在花园里漫步正巧碰上他的弟妹在用水彩画素描。他观看了她几分钟然后借过她的画笔试了一下身手----于是缪斯女神

施展了她的魔法。自那天以后温斯顿便爱上了绘画。任何能让沉浸

在忧思中的温斯顿分心的事情都让克莱门泰因高兴。于是她赶紧去

买来她所能找到的各种颜料和画具。水彩颜料、油画颜料、纸张、

帆布画布---很快耘锄农场里便堆满了一个绘画者可能想要或需要的

各样东西。画油画最终成了温斯顿的一大爱好---但是最初几步却出

奇地艰难。他凝视着他的第一块空白画布异乎寻常地紧张。他日后

回忆道“我迟疑不决地选了一管蓝色颜料然后小心翼翼地在雪白的底子上的画上蚕豆般大

小的一笔。就在这时我听到车道上传来一辆汽车的声音于是一份耕耘一份收获答案只是参考请大家努力自学惊恐地丢下我的画笔。当我看清是谁从汽车里走出来时更是惊慌失措。来者正是住在附近的著名画家约翰莱佛利爵士的妻子。“?在画画呢?她大声说道。?多么有趣。可你还在等什么呢把画笔给我---大的那支。?她猛地用笔蘸起颜料还没等我缓过神来她已经挥笔泼墨在惊恐不已的画布上画下了有力的几道蓝色。谁都看得出画布无法回击。我不再迟疑。我抓起那支最大的画笔迅猛异常地向我可怜的牺牲品扑了过去。自那以后我再也不曾害怕过画布。” 后来教丘吉尔画画的莱佛利曾经说起过他这位不同寻常的学生的艺术才能“如果他当初选择的是绘画而不是政治他定会成为一位驾驭画笔的大师。” 在绘画中丘吉尔发现了一个将陪他走过大半人生的伴侣。1921年他的母亲去世两个月后他又失去了他和克莱门泰因的3岁爱女玛丽戈尔德。那时绘画是他的慰藉。悲痛欲绝的温斯顿住到了苏格兰朋友们的家中---并在他的绘画中寻得安慰。他写信给克莱门泰因“我外出画了一条在午后阳光下的美丽的河流背景是红色和金黄色的山峦。爱怜的思绪油然而生?6?7?6?7啊我一直感受到失去玛丽戈尔德的痛楚。” 生命、爱和希望慢慢地复苏了。1922年9月克莱门泰因和温斯顿的另一个孩子出生了那就是我。同年温斯顿买下了查特威尔这是他将在以后40年里画出其所有不同风貌的他所钟爱

的家。 20世纪20年代中期我父亲在伦敦举行的一次享有盛名的业余画展中赢得了一等奖当时他一定颇为得意。参赛作品不署名所以一些评委坚持认为温斯顿的画---有关查特威尔的第一批画作中的一幅---是一位专业画家而不是一位业余画家的作品所以应该取消其参赛资格。但最后他们同意信赖那位艺术家的诚实而在得知那幅画为丘吉尔所作时他们都很高兴。史学家们一直把1929年温斯顿再次被免职后的10年称为他无所作为的十年。也许政治上那些年他的确毫无作为因为他一个人大声一份耕耘一份收获答案只是参考请大家努力自学疾呼想要唤醒英国人认识到来自希特勒的威胁然而响应者寥寥无几。但在艺术上那些年却硕果累累现存的500多幅丘吉尔的油画中约有一半作于1930年至1939年之间。绘画始终是丘吉尔的一种乐趣直到他生命的结束。“画家是幸福的”他在他的《作为一种消遣的绘画》一书中写道“因为他们不会孤独。光线与色彩宁静与希

望将终日伴随着他们。” 对我的父亲来说也是这样。 text comprehension ii 1. it was a military campaign in which many soldiers died. the effects on churchill were he lost his political position and he was overwhelmed with grief. 2. he felt so inspired to paint that he was distracted from his personal problems. 3. his
