リチャード・アヌシュキッツ(1930-2020)

 
Op Art evolved as an alternative trend in painting to the abstract expressionist movement of the 1950s. The genesis of the movement was in the 1960s, when artists such as Victor Vasarely, Bridget Riley, and Richard Anuszkiewicz embraced a more structured and geometric approach to their painting, often using visual tricks to create a sense of movement.  While the artistic and spiritual predecessors to OP Art, such as Josef Albers (!888-1976), utilized a softer and more subdued approach, the Op Artists were using bold, large-scale works with variable dimensions to create their visual statement.  <br><br>A student of Albers, Richard Anuszkiewicz, used enamel and acrylic paint on wood in such a way to create his uncompromising and exact compositions.  A great sense of action can be felt in the present work, "Translumina". The sister piece to "Translumina," "Translumina II" (1986), is in the permanent collection of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo.

オプ・アートは、1950年代の抽象表現主義に代わる絵画の潮流として発展してきた。1960年代、ヴィクトル・ヴァザルリ、ブリジット・ライリー、リチャード・アヌスキヴィッチらが、より構造的で幾何学的なアプローチを取り、しばしば視覚的なトリックを用いて動きのある作品を制作したのが始まりとされる。 OPアートの芸術的、精神的先達であるヨーゼフ・アルバース(!888-1976)がよりソフトで控えめなアプローチを利用したのに対し、オプ・アーチストは大胆で可変寸法の大作を用いて、視覚的主張を展開していたのである。

アルバーズの弟子であるリチャード・アヌスキヴィッチは、木の上にエナメルやアクリル絵の具を使い、妥協を許さない正確な構図を作り上げました。 今回の作品「Translumina」には、その大きな行動力が感じられます。Translumina」の姉妹作品「Translumina II」(1986年)は、バッファローのオルブライト=ノックス美術館に永久保存されています。
