Comprehensive Research of Representation and style on Proust and Paintings

我研究的目的是在2002年和2003年期间进行的，目的是推进对《A la Recherche du temps perdu》中出现的绘画的描述（表现和风格）的研究。与普鲁斯特和绘画有关的文件和研究被重新审查。人们努力补充关于虚构的艺术家埃尔斯特的信息，并收集有关普鲁斯特时代绘画的文件。2）. 除了仔细检查奥赛博物馆图书馆的绘画资料外，还重新检查了保存在法国国家图书馆的普鲁斯特草稿。特别是，我在法国国家图书馆（Bibliotheque nationale de France）获得了缩微胶卷，并购买了最相关的75本初稿笔记本和20本终稿笔记本的缩微胶卷。对作者作品中绘画表现方法的调查研究取得了重大进展。3)。专门研究普鲁斯特草稿的专家娜塔莉·莫里亚克（CNRS）应邀前往日本，就这些文件和普鲁斯特与绘画的主题提供了建议。我们有机会就这个主题进行了联合研究。4)。从上述调查研究中，我们对《A la Recherche du temps perdu》中出现的画作进行了检查，以明确区分小说中出现的真实画作（Carpaccio， Vermeer等）和虚构画作（Elstir的“Miss Sacripant”和“Carquethuit Port”等）的描述。5)。研究了作品中虚构的绘画和对自然的描述，以确定自然主义在绘画表现中的作用。6)。这项研究的结果被用于在法国出版的《普鲁斯特词典》（Champion, 2004）中的43个条目的写作中。

The objective of my research, conducted during the years 2002 and 2003, was toadvance study in the descriptions (representation and style) of paintings appearing in A la Recherche du temps perdu.1). Documents and research pertaining to Proust and paintings were reexamined. Efforts were made to supplement information on the fictional artist Elstir and to gather documents regarding paintings of Proust's era. 2). In addition to the careful examination of information on paintings in thelibrary of the Musee d'Orsay, reexamination of Proust's drafts preserved at the Bibliotheque nationale de France was undertaken. In particular, I gained access to microfilm at the Bibliotheque nationale de France, and I purchased microfilm on the most pertinent 75 notebooks of rough drafts and 20 notebooks offinal drafts. Significant progress was made in investigative research on theauthor's method of representing paintings in his work. 3). Natalie Mauriac (CNRS), an expert specializing in Proust's drafts, was invited to Japan, where she gave advice on these documents and on the subject of Proust and paintings. We had the opportunity to conduct joint research on this theme. 4). From the above investigative research, paintings appearing in A la Recherche du temps perdu were examined to make clear differences between actual paintings (by Carpaccio, Vermeer, etc.) and the descriptions of fictional paintings (Elstir's "Miss Sacripant" and "Carquethuit Port," etc.) appearing in the novel. 5). The fictional paintings and descriptions of nature in the work were studied to determine the role naturalism plays in representation of paintings. 6). The results of this research were utilized in the writing of forty-three items in Dictionnaire Proust (Champion, 2004), published in France.
