畫作口述影像

〈豐年祭〉是吳李玉哥1984年創作的水彩畫。長38公分，寬44.5公分，是尺寸比較小的作品。

一個熱鬧的廣場上有兩棵結實累累的果樹，幾十個孩子聚集在樹下，各有姿態，有些微笑地圍著廣場中央的魚缸手舞足蹈，有些在旁邊圍觀嬉戲。廣場後方的背景是一排有屋瓦的老房子。

這幅作品用樸拙的造形和明亮的色彩，熱鬧地描繪出人群聚集慶祝的場景。廣場左右兩棵果樹的枝幹彎曲、向上展開繁盛的枝葉，上面長滿近百個果子，佔了一半的版面。畫面裡幾十個小孩子的衣服色彩明亮繽紛，頭頂前額留著一搓毛髮，或梳著以前孩童的髮髻。他們多數聚集在廣場的下半區域，線條彎曲的手腳，表現出好像正在手舞足蹈的動態感。廣場後方也站了滿滿一排小孩，像在旁邊圍觀，還有幾個孩子爬到樹上像要看得更清楚。

吳李玉哥從小學習刺繡，60歲才開始畫畫，是臺灣代表性的素人畫家。因為不曾接受繪畫訓練，不懂比例或陰影，只是像小孩一樣自然畫出心裡所想的世界，所以她筆下的人物花草樹木造型質樸，毛筆勾畫的輪廓線條纖細簡單，使用明亮繽紛的色彩單純地著色，整體看起來輕快熱鬧、純真討喜。

Audio Description

Harvest Festival is a watercolor painting created by Wu Li Yu-Ge in 1984. It is 38 centimeters tall and 44.5 centimeters wide, making it a relatively small-sized figure painting.

Two trees, laden with clusters of fruit, stand erect in a busy square. Dozens of children are gathered around the foot of the trees, each child portrayed in a distinct pose. Some are smiling and dancing around a fishbowl in the center of the square, while others are watching and frolicking at the side. At the rear of the square is a row of old homes with tiled roofs.

The artist uses simple shapes and bright colors to depict the hustle and bustle of a crowd that is gathering to celebrate. The limbs of the fruit tree on either side of the square are bent as the leafy branches reach skyward, and the nearly 100 red dates that hang from them take up half of the composition. The dozens of children in the painting are dressed in brightly colored clothes, some with a tuft of hair above their forehead and others with their hair in a bun. Most children congregated in the lower half of the square. Their arms and legs are portrayed with curvilineal outlines to convey the kinetic energy in their dancing. A few children have even climbed up the trees to get a better look.

Wu Li Yu-Ge, who did not start painting until the age of 60, is one of the most iconic Taiwanese amateur painters. Due to her lack of professional training, she paints the world as she sees it, with childlike joy. As a result, the figures and flora in her paintings are delightfully unadorned, and the contour lines she creates with her paint brush are fine and simple. She uses vivid and effervescent hues to color her paintings. The overall effect is cheery, boisterous, and brimming with unpretentious joy.
