Whenever I think of the Philippines my eyes revert to The Manila Shawl by Henri Matisse, painted in 1911 upon the French artist’s return from a two-month trip to Spain. Bad roads, immense puddles of rainwater because of poor drainage, beggars at stop lights, these are the visual facts that impress one upon arrival.

每念及菲律宾，我的眸光便不由自主地转向亨利·马蒂斯所作的《马尼拉披肩》。此画成于1911年，乃法国艺术巨匠自西班牙为期两月游历归来后所绘。一条条崎岖不平的道路，一处处因排水不畅而积聚的硕大雨水坑遍布其间。红绿灯下，乞儿丐者三五成群。这一幕幕场景，于抵达之际，无一不是给人留下深刻印象的视觉实况。
