陳澄波密碼
By 柯宗明第三屆「台灣歷史小說獎」首獎作品他的畫作，充滿謎團；他的名字，是不能說的祕密 為什麼畫作上的簽名不見了？為什麼畫家的作品中總留有大片空地？為什麼空地上總有渺小卻生動鮮活的人群？為什麼畫家筆下常出現不合理的光影與雙重視角？ 本書籍由一椿神祕的畫作修復委託案，兩條以日治時期與解嚴前夕為背景、彼此對照牽引的時空軸線，逐步挖掘出埋藏在台灣美術家陳澄波畫作中的懸疑謎團。進而追索出他經歷清末、日治、戰後三個時期的動盪身世，以及橫跨台灣嘉義、日本東京、中國上海三地的曲折際遇。 隨著推理的過程，謎底逐一揭開，歷史拼圖接近完成，陳澄波一生的狂熱、迷惘、無奈與傷痛，彷彿才在昨日，當時代澎湃激湧的藝術文化思潮，糾葛複雜的國族認同難題，更是歷歷在目…… 《陳澄波密碼》藉由對陳澄波藝術與生命軌跡的描摩，以及對小說中穿梭來去的楊三郎、潘玉良、呂赫若、楊逵等文藝青年身影的勾勒，建構出有血有肉，有真摯情感亦有想像投射的台灣歷史小說新面貌！ 本書特色★小說版、映象化的日治時期美術發展史。★結合藝術主題與推理手法的新形態台灣歷史小說。★時空跳接交錯，展現讓人身歷其境的電影畫面感。★特別附錄：「發現陳澄波˙遇見陳澄波」彩頁專輯，收錄小說相關之陳澄波重要畫作，生平與創作紀要，照片、書信與文物等珍貴圖像。 專文導讀陳芳明（作家、政大台文所講座教授）蕭瓊瑞（成大歷史系所美術史教授） 名家推薦小 野（作家、編劇）平 路（作家）吳念真（作家、導演）宋澤萊（作家）李敏勇（詩人）范銘如（政大台文所特聘教授）陳栢青（作家）──傾心推薦（按姓氏筆畫排序） 好評推薦「很少有一部歷史小說可以像《陳澄波密碼》這樣，對於台灣歷史發展過程如此精確掌握，而且也對畫家的生命過程瞭若指掌。那種歷史質感，立體而生動。說故事的技巧，也步步為營。非得看到最後才有可能察覺整部小說的核心精神，並終於揭開了畫家陳澄波的謎底，更揭開了台灣歷史在時代轉折之際的謎底。這部作品的誕生，等於為未來的台灣歷史小說書寫，做了強悍有力的預告。」──陳芳明（作家、政大台文所講座教授） 「台灣不缺乏動人的故事，卻缺乏和歷史，特別是藝術史緊密聯結的小說，柯宗明的《陳澄波密碼》，正為這個缺憾開啟了補足的契機。……《陳澄波密碼》解開的不只是藝術家生命的謎團，更為許多作品，開啟被瞭解、認知，進而感動的密碼。」──蕭瓊瑞（成大歷史系所美術史教授） 「《陳澄波密碼》對於時代感與個人感的比例拿捏極為巧妙，藉由探索陳澄波，帶出同時代所有重要的畫家。並試圖證明台灣美術圈對社會的關懷與影響，為美術史開啟了一個新的想像空間。……《陳澄波密碼》是以修復陳澄波畫作而展開的政治歷史推理小說，兼融地景、美術史與美術理論的介紹，並以此描述台灣歷史中身分「選擇」的困境與文化衝突。無論創作理念或人性糾纏都有深度，甚至讓人想到現狀。」──第三屆「台灣歷史小說獎」決審評語摘錄
