爱德华·维亚尔来自法国中部一个普通家庭，他没有遵循家庭传统去当兵，而是很早就投身艺术生涯。

Edward Viale, from a common family in central France, did not follow the family tradition to serve as a soldier, but he had long been involved in art.

1888年，20岁的他加入了那比派。那比派是以年轻的后印象派画家为主，这群画家与当时的主流观点相左，其中最著名的成员当属皮埃尔·波纳尔。

In 1888, he joined the Nabi school at the age of 20. Nabi school is mainly young post Impressionist painters, which are different from the mainstream views of the time, among which Pierre boner is the most famous member.

那比这个词在希伯来语中的意思是“先知”，这个流派与表现主义关系比较接近。

The word Nabby means "the prophet" in Hebrew, which is closely related to expressionism.

那比派重视想象与回忆，重视灵性，而不是在画室里重塑原型，他们反对自然主义，重视形状和颜色的象征意义，最重要的一点是，他们注重绘画的私密感。

Nayphiles attach importance to imagination and memory, spiritual, not to remodel the prototype in the studio. They oppose naturalism and attach importance to the symbolic meaning of shape and color. Most importantly, they pay attention to the privacy of painting.

他们不喜明亮的色调，反而用黯淡的色调，例如土棕色、暗绿色等来突出私密生活以及其中的诗意。

Instead of the bright hues, they use dim tones, such as earthy brown and dark green, to highlight private life and its poetic meaning.

维亚尔因此被视为“私密风画家”，因为他善于描绘家庭的室内场景，而且光线美好柔和。

Vial is therefore regarded as a "private wind painter" because he is good at depicting the indoor scenes of the family and the light is beautiful and soft.

1920年，维亚尔开始为巴黎上流社会人士创作细致入微的肖像画，此外还为当红舞台剧创作布景，他的作品广受喜爱。但他更喜欢创作肖像画、室内场景、静物画。

In 1920, Viale began to create meticulous portraits for the top class in Paris, and also set up for the red stage drama. His works were popular. But he prefers to create portraits, indoor scenes, still life paintings.

19世纪末，日本版画进入西方世界，巴黎美院举办版画展览时，许多年轻的艺术家对日本版画一见钟情。

At the end of the 19th century, Japanese prints entered the western world. When the Art Institute of Paris held the print exhibition, many young artists loved Japanese prints at first sight.

日本版画采用平涂技法，没有立体起伏，构图就像展平了的立方体。

Japanese prints are flat painted, without three-dimensional ups and downs, and the composition is like flattened cubes.

波纳尔和维亚尔也长期受到日本版画的影响。他们两人虽是好友，可是各自的成长环境却截然不同，维亚尔一直与母亲生活在一起，他的母亲是开女士内衣和裁缝店的，维亚尔从小就生活在女人堆里。女性世界对他有着潜移默化的影响。

Bonar and viar have also been influenced by Japanese prints for a long time. Although they are friends, their own growth environment is different. Vial has always lived with his mother. His mother is a woman's underwear and tailor's shop. Vial has lived in a pile of women since childhood. The female world has a subtle influence on him.

那种小心翼翼、喜欢闲谈、拐弯抹角的环境也造就了维亚尔的性格。他非常在意细节，也很关心女性的精神世界。

The careful, chatty, and curving environment also created vials' character. He is very concerned about details and the spiritual world of women.

他描绘的室内场景里经常可以看到非常亲密的女性氛围。

He often sees a very intimate female atmosphere in the interior scenes he depicts.

著名商人乔斯·黑塞尔的妻子露西是维亚尔的缪斯，同时也是他的情妇。她为维亚尔和那比派的成名出了不少力。

Lucy, the wife of Jos Hessel, a famous businessman, is the Muse of vial and his mistress. She has made a lot of efforts to make vials and Nabis famous.

维亚尔最喜欢描绘的就是日常生活场景，尤其是描绘自己的母亲。她的母亲经常出现在他的画作中。

Vials' favorite depiction is the daily life scene, especially his mother. Her mother often appears in his paintings.

所以评论家们把他归类为“私密风艺术家”。

So critics classified him as "private artists.".

《红色五斗柜》

Red penta cabinet

维亚尔这幅《红色五斗柜》构图虽然简单，可却令人无比的着迷，同时非常大胆的运用了一系列的装饰元素。

Although the composition of the red penta cabinet is simple, it is fascinating, and it also uses a series of decorative elements boldly.

我们可以从这幅画里看到墙纸、挂着窗帘的窗户，一个女人正把一束花放到五斗柜上，五斗柜上的红色映出了女人的影子，维亚尔试图表现窗户处的透明感。同时我们也可以觉察出这是一个私密化的场景，可能这就是他家发生过的场景，这是属于他自己的私密记忆。

We can see wallpaper and window with curtains hanging from this picture. A woman is putting a bunch of flowers on the cupboard. The red on the cabinet reflects the shadow of the woman. Vial tries to show the transparency in the window. At the same time, we can also detect that this is a private scene, which may be the scene of his family, which belongs to his own private memory.

将现实的不同平面融为一体，不同现象之间相互交融，这幅画作展现了维亚尔属于那比派的风格特点。

The painting shows the style of viyar belonging to the Nabi school by integrating different planes of reality and blending of different phenomena.

在维亚尔的画作中，私密场景经常大于装饰意图。同时，他也对风俗画感兴趣，他觉得那些场景值得深思。

In vials' paintings, private scenes are often greater than decorative intent. At the same time, he was also interested in custom painting, and he thought those scenes were worth pondering.

《音乐之夜》

The night of music

维亚尔的这幅《音乐之夜》描绘了佛罗朗唐路的一次沙龙聚会，这个沙龙聚会在当时的巴黎十分出名，很多艺术家都以参加这个沙龙为荣。这幅画的看点之一在于，伟业让多组人在画作中交缠在一起，却将画作的中心点移到了旁边。

The night of music by vial depicts a salon party in Florent Tang Road, which was famous in Paris at that time, and many artists are proud to attend the salon. One of the main points of this painting is that great works have brought together groups of people in the painting, but moved the center of the painting to the side.

他利用一个被照得通亮的红灯吸引观众的注意力。那比派不像印象派般现场作画，他们只会在现场画一些素描，然后回到画室凭借记忆描绘脑海里出现的构图和色彩。

He drew attention from the audience with a red light that was illuminated. Unlike Impressionists, Nabi school only draws some sketches on the spot, and then goes back to the studio to draw the composition and color in their mind by memory.

维亚尔的画作经常笼罩着柔和的光线，他用色丰富，同时也很细腻，就像有一股小风，吹过这些日常的生活片段。

Vial's paintings are often covered with soft light, rich in color and delicate, like a breeze that blows through these daily life segments.

19世纪末，包括维亚尔在内的许多艺术家都围绕在《白色评论》的周围。这是一个略带无政府主义色彩的文学艺术阵营，但这份刊物很快就变成了辩论之地，涉及了法国关注的所有话题。既有艺术，也有政治。

At the end of the 19th century, many artists, including vials, were around the white review. It is a slightly anarchic literary and artistic camp, but the publication soon became a place of debate, involving all the topics of French concern. There is art and politics.

而米希亚·戈德布斯卡就是这份刊物的灵魂人物，她与那比派交往密切，许多画家都为她画过画像。她之所以能在巴黎艺术圈出名，最初凭借色是她的钢琴天赋。她的姿色与魅力。

And michia goldbusca is the soul figure of the publication. She has close contact with Nabi school, and many painters have painted her. She was famous in Paris art circle, initially with her piano talent by color. Her beauty and charm.

记者们将她称为“巴黎和现代巴洛克女王”，所以她自然而然地成为最著名画家的模特，维亚尔甚至为她画过90幅画像。

Reporters call her "Queen Paris and modern Baroque," so she naturally became the model of the most famous painter, and vial even painted 90 portraits for her.

《米希亚肖像画》

The portrait of michia

维亚尔很喜欢她甚至到了迷恋的地步，他一直都在暗恋米希亚，他的画作中展现了她最放松的一面，可是却采用了一种非常忧郁的方式。维亚尔选择了非常柔和的色调，白色连衣裙令她更加突出。

Vial loved her and even got into a infatuation. He had been secretly in love with Michelia. His paintings showed her most relaxed side, but he adopted a very melancholy way. Vial chose a very soft tone, and the white dress made her more prominent.

另一个重点在于，这幅画使用了方形画布，这种方形在当时并不常见，而这幅画本身也是仓促而画，假如能够目睹真迹，甚至还能看到画布纹理，家具的黄色布帘上只涂了很少的颜料。

Another point is that the painting uses square canvas, which was not common at that time, and the painting itself was hastily drawn. If you can see the real picture and even see the texture of the canvas, the yellow curtain of furniture is painted with only a little paint.

维亚尔的赞助人兼画商的情妇露西·黑塞尔是他最喜欢的模特，她为维亚尔打开了一个未知世界的大门。

Lucy Hessel, the patron and painter of vial, is his favorite model, and she opens the door to the unknown world for vial.

正是凭借黑塞尔的关系，维亚尔才能解除到富有的中产阶级社会。然后维亚尔开始为他人绘制肖像画。

It is through Hessel's relationship that vials can be lifted to a wealthy middle class society. Then vials began to paint portraits for others.

维亚尔作画并不需要模特摆出特定的姿势，他让她们置身于自己熟悉的环境里，然后突然说：“不要动，就这样的姿势保持下去。”

Vial doesn't need models to pose in a specific position. He puts them in a familiar environment and suddenly says, "don't move, just keep it."

他用第一印象画一张素描，然后再仔细描摹。

He drew a sketch with his first impression and then carefully traced it.

日常生活的温柔氛围就是维亚尔最喜欢的主题。他也因为在装饰画方面富有才华而被大众认可，他一生中的最后二十年是他职业生涯的顶峰，甚至得到过巴黎下月剧院的订单，也曾为日内瓦国际联盟创作。

The gentle atmosphere of everyday life is vial's favorite theme. He was also recognized by the public for his talent in decorative painting. The last 20 years of his life were the pinnacles of his career, and even the Paris theatre order for the next month, and he also created for the Geneva International Union.

他的画作曾被用于富丽堂皇的室内装饰，被视为后印象主义的高峰之一，为20世纪的先锋艺术打开大门。

His paintings, once used for magnificent interior decoration, were regarded as one of the peaks of Post Impressionism, opening the door for the pioneer art of the 20th century.

维亚尔绰号“新兵那比”，他赞同那比派脱离学术派自主在绘画中探索，尝试解决现实带来的限制。

Vial, nicknamed "new soldier Nabi", agreed that Nabi school was independent of academic school to explore painting and try to solve the limitations brought by reality.

灵活的线条、简单的形状、简要截短的手法都能看出日本版画的影响，同时也吸引着越来越多的人。

Flexible lines, simple shapes and short cut techniques can all see the influence of Japanese prints, and attract more and more people.

维亚尔以装饰的风格绘制肖像，他是融贯东西的艺术家。

Vial painted portraits in a decorative style, and he was an artist who integrated things.
