图稿

根据布兰迪温河艺术博物馆编制的目录,《清教徒鳕鱼》的初稿是 N. C. 怀斯在 1945 年 10 月去世前完成的。该条目记录了草图的图像、艺术家的题词及其标题《Puritan Cod Fishers》,目录将其描述为 "备用"。无论是哪种情况,这幅大型画布都是一件独一无二的作品,安德鲁-怀斯后来回忆说,这幅画完全是由他亲手绘制的,是父亲的设计和构图与出色的儿子的执行合作的成果。对安德鲁来说,这一定是一次感触颇深的情感体验。鉴于父亲对细节和真实性的关注,这艘小帆船的线条代表了十六世纪使用的藠头。另一方面,安德鲁很可能比他父亲更深地描绘了躁动不安的大海的色调,这一选择恰如其分地突出了任务的危险性。

Andrew Wyeth & N. C. Wyeth

N.C. Wyeth’s extraordinary skills as an illustrator were borne of impeccable draftsmanship and as a painter, his warmly rich, harmonious sense of color, and ability to capture the quality of light itself. But it is his unmatched artistry in vivifying story and character with a powerful sense of mood that we admire most of all — the ability to transport himself to the world and time of his creation and to convey it with a beguiling sense of conviction. That ability is as apparent in the compositional complexities of Treasure Island’s “One More Step, Mr. Hands!” as it is here, in the summary account of a square-rigged, seventeenth-century merchant ship tossed upon the seas. The Coming of the Mayflower in 1620 is a simple statement of observable facts, yet Wyeth’s impeccable genius as an illustrator imbues it with the bracing salt air and taste that captures the adventuresome spirit of the men and women who are largely credited with the founding of America. That spirit is carried on the wind and tautly billowed sails, the jaunty heeling of the ship at the nose of a stiff gale, the thrusting, streamed-limned clouds, and the gulls jauntily arranged to celebrate an arrival as they are the feathered angels of providence guiding it to safe harbor.<br><br>The Coming of the Mayflower in 1620 was based on two studies, a composition drawing in graphite and a small presentation painting. The finished mural appears to have been installed in 1941.

19世纪70年代初,温斯洛-霍默经常在位于纽约州哈德逊河和卡茨基尔山之间的一个小农庄附近绘制乡村生活场景,该小农庄因其出色的麦田而世代闻名。今天,赫尔利因激发了荷马最伟大的作品之一--1872年夏天绘制的《鞭子的Snap》而更为著名。在其他许多受该地区启发的画作中,《站在麦田里的女孩》感情丰富,但没有过度感伤。它与1866年在法国画的一幅题为《在麦田里》的研究报告以及次年他回到美国后画的另一幅报告直接相关。但荷马无疑会对这幅作品感到最自豪。这是一幅肖像画,一幅服装研究画,一幅具有欧洲田园画伟大传统的风俗画,也是一幅戏剧性的逆光、大气的巡回画,浸透在迅速消逝的阴暗时刻的光线中,并带有羊脂玉般的花香和麦穗的点缀。1874年,荷马送了四幅画给国家设计学院的展览。其中一幅名为 "女孩"。难道不是这一幅吗?

Widely recognized as one of the most consequential artists of our time, Gerhard Richters career now rivals that of Picasso's in terms of productivity and genius. The multi-faceted subject matter, ranging from slightly out-of-focus photographic oil paintings to Kelly-esque grid paintings to his "squeegee" works, Richter never settles for repeating the same thought- but is constantly evolving his vision. Richter has been honored by significant retrospective exhibitions, including the pivotal 2002 show,  "Gerhard Richter: Forty Years of Painting," at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.  <br><br>"Abstraktes Bild 758-2" (1992) comes from a purely abstract period in Richter's work- where the message is conveyed using a truly physical painting style, where applied paint layers are distorted with a wooden "Squeegee" tool. Essentially, Richter is sculpting the layers of paint, revealing the underlayers and their unique color combinations; there is a degree of "art by chance". If the painting does not work, Richter will move on- a method pioneered by Jackson Pollock decades earlier.  <br><br>Richter is included in prominent museums and collections worldwide, including the Tate, London, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, among many others.

<div>In the mid-1920s, Rufino Tamayo embarked on the crucial development phase as a sophisticated, contemporary colorist. In New York, he encountered the groundbreaking works of Picasso, Braque, and Giorgio de Chirico, along with the enduring impact of Cubism. Exploring painterly and plastic values through subjects sourced from street scenes, popular culture, and the fabric of daily life, his unique approach to color and form began to take shape. It was a pivotal shift toward cosmopolitan aesthetics, setting him apart from the nationalist fervor championed by the politically charged narratives of the Mexican Muralist movement.  By focusing on the vitality of popular culture, he captured the essential Mexican identity that prioritized universal artistic values over explicit social and political commentary. The approach underscored his commitment to redefining Mexican art on the global stage and highlighted his innovative contributions to the modernist dialogue. </div><br><br><div> </div><br><br><div>Like Cézanne, Tamayo elevated the still life genre to some of its most beautifully simple expressions. Yet high sophistication underlies the ease with which Tamayo melds vibrant Mexican motifs with the avant-garde influences of the School of Paris. As "Naturaleza Muerta" of 1935 reveals, Tamayo refused to lapse into the mere decoration that often characterizes the contemporary School of Paris art with which his work draws comparisons. Instead, his arrangement of watermelons, bottles, a coffee pot, and sundry items staged within a sobering, earthbound tonality and indeterminant, shallow space recalls Tamayo's early interest in Surrealism. An overlayed square matrix underscores the contrast between the organic subjects of the painting and the abstract, intellectualized structure imposed upon them, deepening the interpretation of the artist's exploration of visual perception and representation. In this way, the grid serves to navigate between the visible world and the underlying structures that inform our understanding of it, inviting viewers to consider the interplay between reality and abstraction, sensation and analysis.</div>

不难理解罗伯特-印第安纳的四个字母的辉煌的两行排列是如何在1960年代帮助赋予一个运动的。它的起源来自于对宗教的深刻感受以及朋友和导师埃尔斯沃斯-凯利,他的硬朗风格和感性的、不加修饰的色彩给人留下了深刻的印象。但正如印第安纳所感叹的那样,这是一个偶然的时刻,当 "爱咬了我!"设计来到他面前,敏锐而集中。当然,印第安纳把这个设计放在了许多地方,然后这个标志就开始到处出现了。这个信息,最好是用雕塑来传达,矗立在世界各地的城市,并被翻译成多种语言,其中最重要的是它的意大利语版本,"Amor",其偶然的 "O "也向右倾斜。但是,这个版本没有被 "L "的脚踢到,而是给上面的 "A "带来了一种漂亮的舞台摇摆效果。它给人一种新的,但同样深刻的,关于爱和它的情绪化的印象。  无论是哪种情况,"爱 "的倾斜 "O "都给原本稳定的设计带来了不稳定性,这是印第安纳对 "与这个词相关的往往是空洞的感伤,隐喻着不求回报的渴望和失望,而不是神圣的感情"(Robert Indiana's Best: A Mini Retrospective, New York Times, May 24, 2018)的深刻的投射。当然,重复有一个讨厌的习惯,就是削弱我们对简单和开创性设计的天才的欣赏。印第安纳在晚年感叹道:"这是一个了不起的想法,但也是一个可怕的错误。它变得太流行了。而有些人并不喜欢流行"。但是我们,这个充满分歧和陷入动荡的世界的居民,感谢你。"爱》和它的许多版本强烈地提醒我们爱的能力,而这是我们对更美好的未来最好的永恒的希望。

<div><font face=Calibri size=3 color=black>Fernando Botero's legendary ascension as an international sensation began when Museum of Modern Art curator Dorothy Miller stumbled upon his Greenwich Village studio in 1961 and purchased "<em>Mona Lisa, Age Twelve</em>." His trademark portly figures and playful, lighthearted humor became known as "Boterismo." More importantly, the art leaving his easel revealed an unbridled respect for the Old Masters, the compelling chiaroscuro of a Zurbarán still life, the sfumato of da Vinci, and always the craftsmanship of van Eyck, Dürer, or Rubens. Botero continues that thread of technical mastery with "<em>L'Atelier de Sánchez Cotán</em>" even as he reshapes these classical themes through his unique lens. A mixed media collage and oil on canvas, the work pays homage to the Spanish Baroque still life painter Juan Sánchez Cotán by subverting and modernizing the traditional still life genre. Botero captures Cotán's hyperrealism with a surreal, almost whimsical aesthetic. An oversized apple suspended on a string dominates the composition, a nod to Cotán's meticulously arranged still life paintings, known for the striking suspended effect of fruit or vegetables. Botero's rendition, however, imbues the scene with a sense of playfulness and detachment from reality, as seen in the box-like contraption, resembling a stage or a viewing device containing miniature versions of objects within the painting. The stark, flat backdrop, devoid of Cotán's characteristic chiaroscuro, accentuates the sense of artifice.</font></div><br><br><div> </div><br><br><div><font face=Calibri size=3 color=black>Fernando Botero's death on September 15, 2023, was a significant loss for the art world. Although his roots are deeply Colombian, his appeal is global, coupling commercial success with critical acclaim—a balance few artists have achieved. Works such as “<em>L'Atelier de Sánchez Cotán</em>” are not just whimsical or aesthetic; they prompt the viewer to appreciate the enduring dialogue between tradition and innovation, showcasing an artist of great technical finesse and mastery.</font></div>

<div><font face=Calibri size=3 color=black>Born in 1982, French native and Brooklyn-based artist Julie Curtiss is celebrated for her beguiling paintings that reimagine a surrealist's conceptual and aesthetic principles for the contemporary era. Her work draws heavily on the Surrealist fascination with Freudian psychology and the subconscious, themes championed by figures like André Breton and Louis Aragon. By blending these Surrealist influences with the dreamlike, graphic qualities reminiscent of the Chicago Imagists, Curtiss creates a visual language that is both referential and distinctly hers. Her imagery often focuses on deconstructing the female form and symbolically representing stereotypical feminine aesthetics, echoing the work of early 20th-century female Surrealists who used dreamlike settings and humor to explore and critique the female experience.</font></div><br><br><div> </div><br><br><div><font face=Calibri size=3 color=black><em>“D'apres l'Olympia”</em> epitomizes Curtiss's painterly approach to 21st-century sexuality, combining a distinctive yet referential visual lexicon that has earned her international acclaim. By destabilizing the art historical trope of the female nude and reinterpreting Manet's iconic painting of the same name, Curtiss melds elements of French modernism with the graphic sensibilities she developed after moving to Tokyo in 2006, where she honed her signature comic book-like aesthetic. The large red shoes—a striking departure from Manet's original—introduce a sense of humor, simultaneously evoking pop-cultural references while critiquing stereotypical femininity. These oversized, vivid shoes might symbolize the exaggerated expectations placed upon women or serve as a playful nod to the absurdity of societal norms. While her admiration for Manet is evident, it is Curtiss's ability to merge these historical references with contemporary concerns and aesthetics that makes<em> “D'apres l'Olympia”</em> a powerful commentary on the evolving nature of female.</font></div>

朱莉-库蒂斯

<div><font face=Calibri size=3 color=black>Camille Claudel's life story reflects an era when societal constraints often dimmed the brilliance of women; their genius was viewed as a threat to the male-dominated world. Most introductions to Claudel are steeped in misleading biographical details related to her as Rodin's assistant, mistress, or lover, associations that diminish her achievements as a first-rate sculptor whose work borrows little from Rodin in style or subject matter. Despite these challenges, Claudel's legacy has endured, celebrated through exhibitions, biographies, and films since her rediscovery in 1982. </font></div><br><br><div> </div><br><br><div><font face=Calibri size=3 color=black><em>“La Vague (The Wave),”</em> a remarkable sculpture of three women frolicking joyfully, embodies Claudel's passion for art and connection to nature. The women, their hair unruly like the sea, are depicted in a moment of freedom and abandon, yet the looming wave hints at the inevitable sorrow to come—a metaphor for Claudel's life, shadowed by fate. This piece, initially shown in plaster and later cast in bronze with an onyx marble wave, draws direct inspiration from Hokusai's <em>“The Great Wave,”</em> reflecting the Parisian fascination with Japanese art at the time. While <em>“La Vague”</em> showcases Claudel's technical mastery and the influence of Japanese aesthetics, it also poignantly symbolizes her acceptance of the overpowering forces of nature and the tragic course her life would ultimately take. This bronze, cast in 1997, is one of only two not held in a museum, further emphasizing the rarity of and reverence for Claudel's work.</font></div>

在《裸体下楼梯2号》中,梅尔·拉莫斯将马塞尔·杜尚(Marcel Duchamp)的现代主义杰作的遗产与波普艺术充满活力的美学巧妙地交织在一起,精心制作了一种巧妙而具有视觉刺激性的重新诠释。通过将杜尚的抽象运动与他标志性的别针风格联系起来,拉莫斯在受人尊敬的美术传统和商业图像的大胆、图形品质之间创造了一种动态的对话。这件作品体现了拉莫斯驾驭艺术史和当代文化的技巧,利用女性裸体的魅力来探索和讽刺社会对美、欲望和商品化的痴迷。这样一来,拉莫斯的作品就成为了典型的波普艺术混合物,陶醉于与杜尚的俏皮联系,同时批判和庆祝当时的视觉文化。

Théo van Rysselberghe的《Sylvie Lacombe肖像》画于1906年,是他那个时代最精致、最稳定的肖像画家之一的经典杰作。色彩和谐,笔触有力,适合其材料任务,她的身体和面容真实而露骨。坐着的人是他的好朋友,画家乔治-拉孔布的女儿,他与高更有着密切的联系,并且是Les Nabis的成员,与艺术家博纳尔、丹尼斯和维雅等人一起。我们现在知道了Sylvie Lacombe,因为Van Rysselberghe非常擅长渲染微妙的面部表情,通过仔细观察和关注细节,提供了对她内心世界的见解。他选择了一种直接的凝视,她的眼睛对着你的眼睛,无论我们与画作的物理关系如何,主体和观众之间都有一种不可避免的盟约。在画这幅肖像时,范-赖斯伯格已经基本放弃了点彩画法。但他继续运用色彩理论准则,用红色的色调--粉色和淡紫色--来衬托绿色,创造出一个和谐的互补色调,他在其中加入了一个强烈的点睛之笔--一个强烈饱和的红色蝴蝶结,不对称地放在她的头边。

A major figure in both the Abstract Expressionist and American Figurative Expressionist movements of the 1940s and 1950s, Elaine de Kooning's prolific output defied singular categorization. Her versatile styles explored the spectrum of realism to abstraction, resulting in a career characterized by intense expression and artistic boundary-pushing. A striking example of de Kooning's explosive creativity is Untitled (Totem Pole), an extremely rare sculptural painting by the artist that showcases her command of color. <br><br>She created this piece around 1960, the same period as her well-known bullfight paintings. She left New York in 1957 to begin teaching at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, and from there would visit Ciudad Juárez, where she observed the bullfights that inspired her work. An avid traveler, de Kooning drew inspiration from various sources, resulting in a diverse and experimental body of work.

凯瑟琳-格罗斯(Katharine Grosse)2016 年的《无题》将我们对这位艺术家的欣赏延伸到了画布颜料这一传统媒介上,她将在其不朽建筑装置作品中看到的活力、大胆和对传统的漠视带到了画布上。色彩从复杂而层次丰富的表面中迸发出来,这些表面由流淌、滴落或飞溅的颜料浇筑而成,还有光芒四射的透明面纱,以及雾状的重叠色带,形成柔和的渐变过渡。作品给人以空间深度和立体感的迷人印象。同时,这也是格罗斯将混乱与控制、自发性与意向性完美融合的杰作。她的一系列技法在偶然与刻意之间创造了引人入胜的对话,这是她独特风格的标志。

Mel Ramos is best known for his paintings of superheroes and female nudes juxtaposed with pop culture imagery. Many of the subjects in his paintings emerge from iconic brands or cultural touchstones like Chiquita bananas, M&M bags, or Snickers. In these works, visual delight is combined with suggested edible and commercial indulgence.<br><br>Leta and the Hill Myna diverges from some of Ramos’ other nudes. Here Ramos depicts his wife, whom he spoke of as his greatest muse. Like his works depicting superheroes, Leta and the Hill Myna is imbued with mythos and lore. Myna birds are native to South Asia where some are taught to speak, often to recite religious. Furthermore, playing on his wife’s name and the avian theme, Ramos is referencing the famous tale of Leda and the Swan in which Zeus embodies a bird to rape Leda. The story has been reinterpreted throughout history, including by great artists such as Paul Cezanne, Cy Twombly and Fernando Botero. With this depiction, Ramos places himself in that same art historical lineage.

After disappointing sales at Weyhe Gallery in 1928, Calder turned from sculpted wire portraits and figures to the more conventional medium of wood. On the advice of sculptor Chaim Gross, he purchased small blocks of wood from Monteath, a Brooklyn supplier of tropical woods. He spent much of that summer on a Peekskill, New York farm carving. In each case, the woodblock suggested how he might preserve its overall shape and character as he subsumed those attributes in a single form.  There was a directness about working in wood that appealed to him. Carved from a single block of wood, Woman with Square Umbrella is not very different from the subjects of his wire sculptures except that he supplanted the ethereal nature of using wire with a more corporeal medium.<br>© 2023 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York

亚历山大-考尔德的作品《Rouge Mouille》(湿红)以红色圆圈为背景,一些圆圈像爆炸一样散开,营造出一种活力四射的膨胀感,另一些圆圈则向下延伸,犹如烟花表演的流线型轨迹。这个动画背景上点缀着许多不透明的圆球,以黑色为主,但也穿插着醒目的蓝色、红色和微妙的黄色球体。五颜六色的球体与爆炸性的红色相映成趣,捕捉到了焰火表演的震撼和壮观,将这幅画转化为这一令人眼花缭乱的庆祝活动的视觉隐喻。这幅艺术作品充满了兴奋和活力,以静态的媒介概括了烟花的短暂之美。

弗兰克-斯特拉(Frank Stella)的巴厘岛系列雕塑作品以浮动和流动的形式为特征,延伸至观者的空间,并邀请观者与其环境互动。在巴厘岛文化中,"dadap "是一种与生长和仪式意义相关的树木,它反映了斯特拉雕塑的有机和动态性质。斯特拉将竹子改用不锈钢和铝材,保留了巴厘岛美学的本质,即推崇有机、流动、动态地与空间互动的形式。Dadap 展示了斯特拉主题探索的连续性,其作品的精神超越了材料。金属具有不同的质感、反射性以及与光线和空间的互动性,但它坚持运动和互动的原则。这是形式和概念在不同媒介间的创造性转换,既保留了最初灵感的精神,又允许新材料的特性在全新的语境中表达这些想法。

曼努埃尔-内里是20世纪60年代湾区具象主义运动的核心人物。该团体不强调抽象形式,而是通过人的形式的力量来强调情感。本作品 "无题"(1982年)以真人大小的尺寸探索了女性的形态。  在他60年的职业生涯中,涅利喜欢只用一个模特,即玛丽亚-朱莉娅-克里门科。许多雕塑作品中没有脸,这就增加了神秘和模糊的元素。无题》中构图的重点是人物的结构和形式。  曼努埃尔-内里被世界各地的博物馆收藏,包括艾迪逊画廊/菲利普斯学院;斯坦福大学的安德森收藏;芝加哥艺术学院;斯坦福大学坎特艺术中心;辛辛那提艺术博物馆;加州萨克拉门托的克罗克艺术博物馆;丹佛艺术博物馆,德克萨斯州的埃尔帕索艺术博物馆;旧金山美术博物馆;哈佛大学艺术博物馆;华盛顿的赫什霍恩博物馆和雕塑园。檀香山艺术博物馆、纽约大都会艺术博物馆和华盛顿特区国家艺术馆。

Irving Norman was born in 1906 in Vilna, then part of the Russian Empire, now Lithuania. Norman's immigration to New York City in 1923 was short-lived, as he would return to Europe to fight as part of the Abraham Lincoln battalion against the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco. After the War, Norman would eventually settle in Half Moon Bay, California, where he embarked on a prolific studio practice.  <br><br>Norman's work portrays the horrors of war and his firsthand knowledge of totalitarian dictatorships. Norman's work has been described as "Social Surrealism," and his grand scenes are immediate and arresting. The large-scale works of Norman truly capture the power of his lived experiences; they are as much a visual record as they are a warning for the future, intended to inspire change.

作为极简主义雕塑家托尼-史密斯(Tony Smith)的女儿,琪琪的艺术创作不局限于任何单一的媒介或技术,她的作品往往能引发多重解读。Club 体现了人腿的形态和尺寸,是运动和稳定的基本要素。史密斯的标题邀请观众将一条腿重新想象为武器,并思考人类的脆弱性、身体自主性的动力以及力量与脆弱性之间复杂的相互作用。这种将身体部位转化为物体的方式,既传达了保护,又具有攻击性,同时也反映了有性别区分的身体如何驾驭我们的社会和个人环境。俱乐部》充分体现了史密斯的创作能力,他的作品富含象征意义,易于解读,并能引发人们对人类经历的思考。

当一匹马躺下时,那是因为它感到安全,对于黛博拉·巴特菲尔德来说,这是一种说法,让自己变得脆弱是可以的。“回声”的构造方式尊重她的觅食技能和焊接金属制品的能力,不拘泥于传统的马形象,而是揭示了它的本质。它由拼凑在一起的钢板制成,有些是波纹状的,有些是折叠或卷曲的,这是一件带有时间印记的作品,老化成锈褐色的铜绿,瑕疵被庆祝而不是隐藏。巴特菲尔德对材料的精心选择及其处理方式增添了深度和个性,使《无题,回声》不仅仅是一个马的形象,它反映了它所代表的动物的粗犷之美和韧性。

作为1887年以来蓬勃发展的比利时新印象派运动中无可争议的大师,泰奥-范-雷塞尔贝格在二十世纪的第一个十年里为他的妻子玛丽亚(née Monnom)画了这幅肖像画。他从惠斯勒的调子主义、印象主义和修拉的点彩主义的影响中继续前进,完善了对色彩及其和谐共鸣的高度理解,并对形式元素进行了细致的渲染。作为一个模范的绘图员,基于色彩互动的光学印象仍然是范-赖塞尔伯格的主要关注点。在这里,色彩的短笔画取代了点彩画家的小圆点,而色彩方案也不是艺术家当之无愧的同质化、和谐的方案。相反,这幅肖像画以一种完全不同的方式推进了色彩理论。它的视觉兴趣在于他妻子的银色头发、她的铂金色衣服和惨白的壁炉壁炉的动态对比--所有这些都是在以互补的红色和绿色为主的视觉活力的环境中进行的。这是一个视觉刺激的演示,画家了解这种不寻常的色彩方案的动态影响,他将坐着的人安排在一个强烈的对角线上,并以一个完全控制其绘画资产的画家的工艺和敏捷性来执行这一公式。

曼努埃尔·内里(Manuel Neri)的早期纸制品在雕塑技术上取得了突破性进展,他的雕塑绘画方法反映了他对色彩和形式表现潜力的深入参与。Hombre Colorado II 中颜色的选择和位置创造了一种特别发自内心的反应,反映了他对色彩的心理和情感维度的细致入微的理解。Hombre Colorado II 于 1958 年构思和制作,反映了 Neri 和他的妻子 Joan Brown 从事丰富的艺术创造力交流的时代,并为他们各自风格的演变和湾区具象运动做出了重大贡献,他们在其中发挥了至关重要的作用。

"梦中之梦 "是 Ryan McGinnes 的一个重要绘画和丝网版画系列,其名称来自埃德加-爱伦-坡的一首著名诗歌。在探索感知、现实和潜意识等主题时,麦金尼斯融入了各种符号和图案,包括几何图形、植物元素和具象图案,并将其排列成错综复杂的图案,这些图案似乎在观者眼前变换和变形。标题暗示了一种模糊性和不确定性,反映了现实的难以捉摸性和人类经验的逃避性。通过探讨感知和幻觉的主题,麦金尼斯鼓励观众质疑自己对世界的假设,并思考现实可能比表面看起来更加多变和主观。

20 世纪 90 年代末,曼努埃尔-内里开始将大量石膏雕塑转化为青铜作品,并经常回到早期作品中对每件作品进行新的想象。这些系列作品在形状和表面细节上几乎无法区分,它们探索了不同配色方案和标记制作的影响,其中涉及各种操作,包括刻画、刷、刮或分层材料。通过尝试不同的标记技术,内里可以探索形式、色彩、纹理和光线之间的相互作用。在《3 号立像》的创作中,内里将调色板局限于类似的色彩方案,稀释颜料以创造微妙的层次,从而增强雕塑光滑、精致的外观。

The Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) was a prosperous cultural period that helped shape Chinese history's foundations for future centuries. This era was marked by notable technological and cultural advances, including gunpowder and printing. Among artistic advances during this period was the perfection of the sancai glaze technique, which was a prominent attribute of sculpture during this period. Sancai (tri-colored) glazing; the three glaze-colors used were ochre or brown, green and clear. Glazed wares where much more costly to produce than other terracotta wares, and were therefore only reserved for the wealthiest patrons.  <br><br>The Sancai-Glazed Earth Spirit offered here depicts a "Zhenmushou." These are mythical hybrid creatures whose bodies are a combination of dogs, lions, boars and other animals.

Magic Wands is a 2004-2005 creation by India’s most renowned contemporary artist, Subodh Gupta.  The work seamlessly blends a sculptural approach with an installation art aesthetic to create a statement on his heritage and universal themes.  Since Gupta’s first installation in 1996, “Twenty-nine Mornings,” the artist has been driven to incorporate daily, utilitarian objects into his work.  Bicycles, wands, pans all play heavily in the work of Gupta.  <br><br>Gupta’s work often reflects the economic transformations in India- and provides a view into the lives of those whose lives are changed by the rise of the country as a global economic power.  Gupta is widely collected as the pre-eminent Indian Contemporary artist.  His work is included in the permanent collections of the MFA Houston and Victoria and Albert Museum, London, among many others.

韦恩·蒂博(Wayne Thiebaud)作为画家广受钦佩。然而,他作为绘图员的能力同样引人注目,在平版印刷中尤为明显,平版印刷是一种以记录艺术家一举一动而闻名的自传媒介。正如 Paint Cans 所充分展示的那样,平版印刷还提供了在纹理和颜色上分层的自由,以实现艺术家表达意图的精明表现。在构图上,“油漆罐”展示了蒂博对秩序的敏锐感,源于对焦点和方向线的强调,展示了他可以突出一组日常用品的独特方式。这是另一部作品,以其高度详细的技术和技巧让观众惊叹不已。

Pellegrini returns to Classical Mythology to paint an adapted narration of the love story of Cupid and Psyche. Traditionally, Psyche was a young princess who was hailed for her beauty and unfortunately caught the eye of a jealous Venus. Venus entrusted Cupid to punish Psyche by making her fall in love with something hideous. Cupid accidently scratched himself with his amorous dart, by which he immediately fell in love with Psyche. As a result, Cupid disobeyed his mother’s orders to punish Psyche. Ultimately they married, but not before Psyche completed a number of painstaking and nearly impossible tasks at the behest of Venus. <br><br>Pellegrini’s interpretation of this myth is cast over two canvases with different chromatic palettes, oscillating on a spectrum of abstraction and representation. This creates a disorienting temporal effect that creates a sense of mystery surrounding the passage of time between two lovers.

Jaudon was one of the founders of the Pattern and Decoration movement. With a foundation of feminist theory, Jaudon repositioned what were considered trivial art forms and minor visual images. These forms and symbols were relegated because of their association with the feminine or non-Western. <br><br>At the same time, Palmyra exemplifies the ability of Jaudon to create aesthetically beautiful works. Jaudon interweaves shades of red into ornate arabesques recalling gothic stonework, celtic knots, and Islamic calligraphy. The crispness of the lines against the impasto and the layering of red tones makes it appear that the lines are carved like stone.

The Queen of the Night drinks water from the clasped hands of faith, while two shepherds embrace each other, unaware of Jesus’ birth. Angels, portrayed almost translucently on the canvas, spray holy water and bring about the giving of gifts. A precious jewel is depicted in the right corner, while a humble basket of turkeys sits on the cape of the Madonna. Nearby rests a basket with a goldfinch, an ancient symbol, which is a harbinger of good luck for newborn babies. The baby Jesus, just as the clasped hands that the Queen drinks out of, represents faith – the angels have sprinkled with holy water and he will soon make himself known to the world.<br><br>“For me the faith in religion becomes faith in painting and will defeat the giants." – Max Pellegrini, July 2015, in conversation with Curator Chip Tom

From the late 1990’s to the early 2000’s, Pellegrini returned to his paintings in the Life of an Anarchist series, “reworked them, constructed them in ‘layers,’ corrected them, initiated series or returned to iconographies of his past works.” These paintings, which are dedicated to Pellegrini’s wife Roberta, depict a woman who is free and positive, and are part of a long line of works in which there is an absolute female protagonist. (Sara D’Alessandro, “Biography,” in Max Pellegrini, ed. Danilo Eccher, 2014). Pellegrini had his wife in mind for these paintings, since “she considers herself an integrated anarchist, a woman with no prejudice but not fanatical or destructive.”<br><br>- Partial text adapted from Max Pellegrini, July 2015, in conversation with Curator Chip Tom

In an abstracted image of St. Peter’s basilica in Rome, Pellegrini returns to religious narratives to express his “anti-ideological and anti-pauperist” impression of the church and its relationship with faith (Antonio Monda, “Interview with Max Pellegrini). In the lower half of the painting, the birth of Jesus is the central focus, while the life of the church is highlighted in the upper half. According to Pellegrini, he depicted the birth of Jesus in the style of a baroque 18th century Neapolitan nativity scene that can be interpreted “as a feast for the birth of faith.” This faith is conceived of as “the material support for the Popes’ power and of the Church’s glory,” represented in this painting by the Pope clutching the moon in his hand. <br> <br><br>- Partial text adapted from Max Pellegrini, July 2015, in conversation with Curator Chip Tom

1886年5月15日,乔治-修拉(Georges Seurat)的最高成就《拉格朗日岛的星期天下午》在第八届印象派画展上亮相,一场新艺术运动的视觉宣言就此诞生。修拉可以称得上是最初的 "科学印象派",其创作方式后来被称为点彩主义或分割主义。然而,是他的朋友和知己,24岁的保罗-西尼亚克,以及他们不断的对话,导致了他们在理解光和颜色的物理学和出现的风格上的合作。西尼亚克是一个没有受过训练的印象派画家,但却是一个才华横溢的画家,他的气质完全适合于实现艰苦的笔触和色彩所需的严格和纪律性。西尼亚克很快就吸收了这种技术。他还见证了修拉两年来在巨大的《大山》上建立无数个未混合的色点的艰辛历程。西尼亚克是个外向的人,修拉是个内向的人,他们一起颠覆了印象派的进程,并改变了现代艺术的进程。

Cottonwood Tree (Near Abiquiu), New Mexico (1943) by celebrated American artist Georgia O’Keeffe is exemplary of the airier, more naturalistic style that the desert inspired in her. O’Keeffe had great affinity for the distinctive beauty of the Southwest, and made her home there among the spindly trees, dramatic vistas, and bleached animal skulls that she so frequently painted. O’Keeffe took up residence at Ghost Ranch, a dude ranch twelve miles outside of the village of Abiquiú in northern New Mexico and painted this cottonwood tree around there. The softer style befitting this subject is a departure from her bold architectural landscapes and jewel-toned flowers.<br><br>The cottonwood tree is abstracted into soft patches of verdant greens through which more delineated branches are seen, spiraling in space against pockets of blue sky. The modeling of the trunk and delicate energy in the leaves carry forward past experimentations with the regional trees of the Northeast that had captivated O’Keeffe years earlier: maples, chestnuts, cedars, and poplars, among others. Two dramatic canvases from 1924, Autumn Trees, The Maple and The Chestnut Grey, are early instances of lyrical and resolute centrality, respectively. As seen in these early tree paintings, O’Keeffe exaggerated the sensibility of her subject with color and form.<br><br>In her 1974 book, O’Keeffe explained: “The meaning of a word— to me— is not as exact as the meaning of a color. Color and shapes make a more definite statement than words.” Her exacting, expressive color intrigued. The Precisionist painter Charles Demuth described how, in O’Keeffe’s work, “each color almost regains the fun it must have felt within itself on forming the first rainbow” (As quoted in C. Eldridge, Georgia O’Keeffe, New York, 1991, p. 33). As well, congruities between forms knit together her oeuvre. Subjects like hills and petals undulate alike, while antlers, trees, and tributaries correspond in their branching morphology.<br><br>The sinewy contours and gradated hues characteristic of O’Keeffe find an incredible range across decades of her tree paintings. In New Mexico, O’Keeffe returned to the cottonwood motif many times, and the seasonality of this desert tree inspired many forms. The vernal thrill of new growth was channeled into spiraling compositions like Spring Tree No.1 (1945). Then, cottonwood trees turned a vivid autumnal yellow provided a breathtaking compliment to the blue backdrop of Mount Pedernal. The ossified curves of Dead Cottonweed Tree (1943) contain dramatic pools of light and dark, providing a foil to the warm, breathing quality of this painting, Cottonwood Tree (Near Abiquiu). The aural quality of this feathered cottonwood compels a feeling guided by O’Keeffe’s use of form of color.

GEORGIA O'KEEFFE

<br>In Diego Rivera’s portrait of Enriqueta Dávila, the artist asserts a Mexicanidad, a quality of Mexican-ness, in the work along with his strong feelings towards the sitter. Moreover, this painting is unique amongst his portraiture in its use of symbolism, giving us a strong if opaque picture of the relationship between artist and sitter.<br><br>Enriqueta, a descendent of the prominent Goldbaum family, was married to the theater entrepreneur, José María Dávila. The two were close friends with Rivera, and the artist initially requested to paint Enriqueta’s portrait. Enriqueta found the request unconventional and relented on the condition that Rivera paints her daughter, Enriqueta “Quetita”. Rivera captures the spirit of the mother through the use of duality in different sections of the painting, from the floorboards to her hands, and even the flowers. Why the split in the horizon of the floorboard? Why the prominent cross while Enriqueta’s family is Jewish? Even her pose is interesting, showcasing a woman in control of her own power, highlighted by her hand on her hip which Rivera referred to as a claw, further complicating our understanding of her stature.<br><br>This use of flowers, along with her “rebozo” or shawl, asserts a Mexican identity. Rivera was adept at including and centering flowers in his works which became a kind of signature device. The flowers show bromeliads and roselles; the former is epiphytic and the latter known as flor de jamaica and often used in hibiscus tea and aguas frescas. There is a tension then between these two flowers, emphasizing the complicated relationship between Enriqueta and Rivera. On the one hand, Rivera demonstrates both his and the sitter’s Mexican identity despite the foreign root of Enriqueta’s family but there may be more pointed meaning revealing Rivera’s feelings to the subject. The flowers, as they often do in still life paintings, may also refer to the fleeting nature of life and beauty. The portrait for her daughter shares some similarities from the use of shawl and flowers, but through simple changes in gestures and type and placement of flowers, Rivera illuminates a stronger personality in Enriqueta and a more dynamic relationship as filtered through his lens.<br><br>A closer examination of even her clothing reveals profound meaning. Instead of a dress more in line for a socialite, Rivera has Enriqueta in a regional dress from Jalisco, emphasizing both of their Mexican identities. On the other hand, her coral jewelry, repeated in the color of her shoes, hints at multiple meanings from foreignness and exoticism to protection and vitality. From Ancient Egypt to Classical Rome to today, coral has been used for jewelry and to have been believed to have properties both real and symbolic. Coral jewelry is seen in Renaissance paintings indicating the vitality and purity of woman or as a protective amulet for infants. It is also used as a reminder, when paired with the infant Jesus, of his future sacrifice. Diego’s use of coral recalls these Renaissance portraits, supported by the plain background of the painting and the ribbon indicating the maker and date similar to Old Master works.<br><br>When combined in the portrait of Enriqueta, we get a layered and tense building of symbolism. Rivera both emphasizes her Mexican identity but also her foreign roots. He symbolizes her beauty and vitality but look closely at half of her face and it is as if Rivera has painted his own features onto hers. The richness of symbolism hints at the complex relationship between artist and sitter.

Led by a triumvirate of painters of the American Scene, Thomas Hart Benton, John Steuart Curry, and Grant Wood took on the task of exploring, defining, and celebrating the Midwest as a credible entity within the geographical, political, and mythological landscape of the United States. Their populist works were figurative and narrative-driven, and they gained widespread popularity among a Depression-weary American public. The landscapes Grant Wood painted, and the lithographs marketed by Associated American Artists were comforting reminders of traditional Midwestern values and the simplicity of country life. Yet, Wood's most iconic works, including American Gothic, were to be viewed through the lens of elusive narratives and witty ironies that reflect an artist who delighted in sharing his charming and humorous perspective on farm life. <br><br>In 1930, Wood achieved national fame and recognition with American Gothic, a fictionalized depiction of his sister, Nan, and his family dentist. Frequently regarded as the most famous American painting of the twentieth century, to fully grasp American Gothic's essential nature, one must recognize Wood's profound connection to his Iowan roots, a bond that borders on a singular fixation and the often-brutal confrontation between the moral and cultural rigidity of Midwest isolationism and the standards that prevailed elsewhere in America. This war of values and morality became dominant throughout Wood's oeuvre. Their fascination with American Gothic may have mystified the public, but the story, told in the attitude of a farmer and his wife, is as lean and brittle as the pitchfork he carries. Their attitude, as defiant as it is confrontational, is an unflinching dare to uppity gallery-goers to judge their immaculate well-scrubbed farm. American Gothic became an overnight sensation, an ambiguous national icon often interpreted as a self-effacing parody of midwestern life. Yet it also served as an unflinching mirror to urban elite attitudes and their often-derisive view of heartland values and way of life. In Grant Wood's hands, the people of the Midwest have stiffened and soured, their rectitude implacable.<br> <br>Portrait of Nan is Grant Wood's most intimate work. He may have been motivated to paint it to make amends for the significant scrutiny and harsh treatment his sister received as American Gothic's sternly posed female. Grant poured his heart into it as a sign of sibling love. Intent upon painting her as straightforward and simply as possible so as not to invite unintended interpretations, Wood's deep attachment to the portrait was significant enough for him to think of it as having irreplaceable value. When he moved from Cedar Rapids to Iowa City in 1935, he designed his entire living room around the work. It occupied the place of honor above the fireplace and was the only painting he refused to sell. <br> <br>The lithograph July Fifteenth, issued in 1938, proves his mystical vision of the Iowan heartland is anything but a pitchfork approach. Drawings assumed central importance in Wood's output, and this work is executed in meticulous detail, proving his drawings were at least as complex, if not more so, than his paintings. The surface of the present work takes on an elaborate, decorative rhythm, echoed throughout the land that is soft, verdant, and fertile. Structurally, it alludes in equal measure to the geometry of modern art and the decorative patterning of folk-art traditions. This is a magical place, a fulsome display of an idealized version of an eternal, lovely, and benign heartland. <br><br>The Young Artist, an en plein air sketch, may have been produced during, or slightly after, what Wood called his "palette-knife stage" that consumed him in 1925. Having not yet traveled to Munich where, in 1928, he worked on a stain-glass window commission and came under the influence of the Northern Renaissance painters that sparked his interest in the compositional severity and detailed technique associated with his mature works, here, he worked quickly, and decisively. The view is from a hilltop at Kenwood Park that overlooks the Cedar River Valley near Cedar Rapids, where he built a house for his sister, Nan.

根据布兰迪温河艺术博物馆编制的目录,《清教徒鳕鱼》的初稿是 N. C. 怀斯在 1945 年 10 月去世前完成的。该条目记录了草图的图像、艺术家的题词及其标题《Puritan Cod Fishers》,目录将其描述为 "备用"。无论是哪种情况,这幅大型画布都是一件独一无二的作品,安德鲁-怀斯后来回忆说,这幅画完全是由他亲手绘制的,是父亲的设计和构图与出色的儿子的执行合作的成果。对安德鲁来说,这一定是一次感触颇深的情感体验。鉴于父亲对细节和真实性的关注,这艘小帆船的线条代表了十六世纪使用的藠头。另一方面,安德鲁很可能比他父亲更深地描绘了躁动不安的大海的色调,这一选择恰如其分地突出了任务的危险性。

Andrew Wyeth & N. C. Wyeth

N.C. Wyeth’s extraordinary skills as an illustrator were borne of impeccable draftsmanship and as a painter, his warmly rich, harmonious sense of color, and ability to capture the quality of light itself. But it is his unmatched artistry in vivifying story and character with a powerful sense of mood that we admire most of all — the ability to transport himself to the world and time of his creation and to convey it with a beguiling sense of conviction. That ability is as apparent in the compositional complexities of Treasure Island’s “One More Step, Mr. Hands!” as it is here, in the summary account of a square-rigged, seventeenth-century merchant ship tossed upon the seas. The Coming of the Mayflower in 1620 is a simple statement of observable facts, yet Wyeth’s impeccable genius as an illustrator imbues it with the bracing salt air and taste that captures the adventuresome spirit of the men and women who are largely credited with the founding of America. That spirit is carried on the wind and tautly billowed sails, the jaunty heeling of the ship at the nose of a stiff gale, the thrusting, streamed-limned clouds, and the gulls jauntily arranged to celebrate an arrival as they are the feathered angels of providence guiding it to safe harbor.<br><br>The Coming of the Mayflower in 1620 was based on two studies, a composition drawing in graphite and a small presentation painting. The finished mural appears to have been installed in 1941.

Alexander Calder was a key figure in the development of abstract sculpture and is renowned for his groundbreaking work in kinetic art; he is one of the most influential artists of the Twentieth Century. "Prelude to Man-Eater" is a delicately balanced standing sculpture that responds to air currents, creating a constantly changing and dynamic visual experience.<br><br>Calder's Standing Mobiles were a result of his continuous experimentation with materials, form, and balance. This Standing Mobile is a historically significant prelude to a larger work commissioned in 1945 by Alfred Barr, the first director of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. "Prelude to Maneater" is designed to be viewed from multiple angles, encouraging viewers to walk around and interact with it.<br><br>The present work is a formal study for Man-Eater With Pennant (1945), part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The work is also represented in "Sketches for Mobiles: Prelude to Man-Eater; Starfish; Octopus", which is in the permanent collection of the Harvard Fogg Museum.<br><br>Calder's mobiles and stabiles can be found in esteemed private collections and the collections of major museums worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Tate Gallery in London among others.

Between Île-de-France and Burgundy and on the edge of the Fontainebleau Forest lies the medieval village of Moret-sur-Loing, established in the 12th century. When Alfred Sisley described its character to Monet in a letter dated 31 August 1881 as “a chocolate-box landscape…” he meant it as a memento of enticement; that its keep, the ramparts, the church, the fortified gates, and the ornate facades nestled along the river were, for a painter, a setting of unmatched charm. An ancient church, always the most striking townscape feature along the Seine Valley, would be a presence in Sisley’s townscape views as it was for Corot, and for Monet at Vétheuil. But unlike Monet whose thirty views of Rouen Cathedral were executed so he could trace the play of light and shadow across the cathedral façade and capture the ephemeral nature of moment-to-moment changes of light and atmosphere, Sisley set out to affirm the permanent nature of the church of Notre-Dame at Moret-sur-Loing.  Monet’s sole concern was air and light, and Sisley’s appears to be an homage keepsake. The painting exudes respect for the original architects and builders of a structure so impregnable and resolute, it stood then as it did in those medieval times, and which for us, stands today, as it will, for time immemorial.<br><br>Nevertheless, Sisley strived to show the changing appearance of the motif through a series of atmospheric changes. He gave the works titles such as “In Sunshine”, “Under Frost”, and “In Rain” and exhibited them as a group at the Salon du Champ-de-Mars in 1894, factors that suggest he thought of them as serial interpretations. Nevertheless, unlike Monet’s work, l’église de Moret, le Soir reveals that Sisley chose to display the motif within a spatial context that accentuates its compositional attributes — the plunging perspective of the narrow street at left, the strong diagonal recession of the building lines as a counterbalance to the right, and the imposing weight of the stony building above the line of sight.

Trained as a woodcarver, Emil Nolde was almost 30 years old before he made his first paintings. The early paintings resembled his drawings and woodcuts: grotesque figures with bold lines and strong contrasts. The style was new, and it inspired the nascent movement Die Brücke (The Bridge), whose members invited Nolde to join them in 1906.  But, it was not until the garden became his locus operandi by 1915 that he built upon his mastery of contrasting luminosities to focus on color as the supreme means of expression.  Later, Nolde claimed “color is strength, strength is life,” and he could not have better characterized why his flower paintings reinvigorate our perception of color.<br><br>Much of the strength of Nolde’s dramatic, Wagnerian-like color sensibilities is the effect of staging primary colors, such as the deep reds and golden yellows of Sonnenblumen, Abend II, against a somber palette. The contrast highlights and deepens the luminosity of the flowers, not just visually, but emotionally as well. In 1937, when Nolde’s art was rejected, confiscated, and defiled, his paintings were paraded as “degenerate art” throughout Nazi Germany in dimly lit galleries. Despite that treatment, Nolde’s status as a degenerate artist gave his art more breathing space because he seized the opportunity to produce more than 1,300 watercolors, which he called “unpainted pictures.” No novice in handling watercolor, his free-flowing style of painting had been a hallmark of his highly-charge, transparent washes since 1918. Sonnenblumen, Abend II, painted in 1944, is a rare wartime oil. He let his imagination run wild with this work, and his utilization of wet-on-wet techniques heightened the drama of each petal.<br><br>Nolde’s intense preoccupation with color and flowers, particularly sunflowers, reflects his continuing devotion to van Gogh.  He was aware of van Gogh as early as 1899 and, during the 1920s and early 1930s, visited several exhibitions of the Dutch artist’s work.  They shared a profound love of nature. Nolde’s dedication to expression and the symbolic use of color found fullness in the sunflower subject, and it became a personal symbol for him, as it did for Van Gogh.

In 1955, Sir John Rothenstein, representing the Trustees of the Tate Museum, approached Winston Churchill about donating one of his paintings "as a gift to the nation."  Churchill was flattered, but felt he did not deserve such an honor as an artist.  Eventually, Churchill agreed and sent two candidate paintings to the Tate – On the Rance and Loup River.  No record exists regarding his own thoughts on the works he submitted, but one can safely say that Churchill thought highly of On the Rance, especially since it was not one of the paintings Rothenstein identified as a strong option. Loup River, which clearly matched Rothenstein's taste, was selected.  Not only was On the Rance not returned, but somehow it ended up, without any inventory record, in a basement storeroom at the Tate. In the storeroom it sat for almost a half century, when it was discovered by an intern.  The Churchill family was notified and eventually the painting was auctioned in June 2005, where it set a new auction record for Churchill's work, despite the lot notes hardly touching on the Tate’s possible acquisition. In a letter to the buyers, Churchill’s daughter, Lady Soames, summarized what had occurred in somewhat more detail.<br><br>St. Malo is a walled city in Brittany, France on the coast of the English Channel.

Alexander Calder executed a surprising number of oil paintings during the second half of the 1940s and early 1950s. By this time, the shock of his 1930 visit to Mondrian’s studio, where he was impressed not by the paintings but by the environment, had developed into an artistic language of Calder’s own. So, as Calder was painting The Cross in 1948, he was already on the cusp of international recognition and on his way to winning the XX VI Venice Biennale’s grand prize for sculpture in 1952. Working on his paintings in concert with his sculptural practice, Calder approached both mediums with the same formal language and mastery of shape and color.<br><br>Calder was deeply intrigued by the unseen forces that keep objects in motion. Taking this interest from sculpture to canvas, we see that Calder built a sense of torque within The Cross by shifting its planes and balance. Using these elements, he created implied motion suggesting that the figure is pressing forward or even descending from the skies above. The Cross’s determined momentum is further amplified by details such as the subject’s emphatically outstretched arms, the fist-like curlicue vector on the left, and the silhouetted serpentine figure.<br><br>Calder also adopts a strong thread of poetic abandon throughout The Cross’s surface. It resonates with his good friend Miró’s hieratic and distinctly personal visual language, but it is all Calder in the effective animation of this painting’s various elements. No artist has earned more poetic license than Calder, and throughout his career, the artist remained convivially flexible in his understanding of form and composition. He even welcomed the myriad interpretations of others, writing in 1951, “That others grasp what I have in mind seems unessential, at least as long as they have something else in theirs.”<br><br>Either way, it is important to remember that The Cross was painted shortly after the upheaval of the Second World War and to some appears to be a sobering reflection of the time. Most of all, The Cross proves that Alexander Calder loaded his brush first to work out ideas about form, structure, relationships in space, and most importantly, movement.

19世纪70年代初,温斯洛-霍默经常在位于纽约州哈德逊河和卡茨基尔山之间的一个小农庄附近绘制乡村生活场景,该小农庄因其出色的麦田而世代闻名。今天,赫尔利因激发了荷马最伟大的作品之一--1872年夏天绘制的《鞭子的Snap》而更为著名。在其他许多受该地区启发的画作中,《站在麦田里的女孩》感情丰富,但没有过度感伤。它与1866年在法国画的一幅题为《在麦田里》的研究报告以及次年他回到美国后画的另一幅报告直接相关。但荷马无疑会对这幅作品感到最自豪。这是一幅肖像画,一幅服装研究画,一幅具有欧洲田园画伟大传统的风俗画,也是一幅戏剧性的逆光、大气的巡回画,浸透在迅速消逝的阴暗时刻的光线中,并带有羊脂玉般的花香和麦穗的点缀。1874年,荷马送了四幅画给国家设计学院的展览。其中一幅名为 "女孩"。难道不是这一幅吗?

Widely recognized as one of the most consequential artists of our time, Gerhard Richters career now rivals that of Picasso's in terms of productivity and genius. The multi-faceted subject matter, ranging from slightly out-of-focus photographic oil paintings to Kelly-esque grid paintings to his "squeegee" works, Richter never settles for repeating the same thought- but is constantly evolving his vision. Richter has been honored by significant retrospective exhibitions, including the pivotal 2002 show,  "Gerhard Richter: Forty Years of Painting," at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.  <br><br>"Abstraktes Bild 758-2" (1992) comes from a purely abstract period in Richter's work- where the message is conveyed using a truly physical painting style, where applied paint layers are distorted with a wooden "Squeegee" tool. Essentially, Richter is sculpting the layers of paint, revealing the underlayers and their unique color combinations; there is a degree of "art by chance". If the painting does not work, Richter will move on- a method pioneered by Jackson Pollock decades earlier.  <br><br>Richter is included in prominent museums and collections worldwide, including the Tate, London, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, among many others.

<div>Painted from an unusually high vantage, “Riviera Coast Scene” vividly conveys the formidable distance and breadth of the scene from the perch where he set his easel.  Interestingly, Paul Rafferty did not include this painting in his book Winston Churchill: Painting on the French Riviera, believing it could likely be a scene from the Italian Lake District, where Churchill also painted in the same time period.  Paintings by Churchill can function as a glimpse into his extensive travels and his colorful life. Churchill most likely painted “Riviera Coast Scene” during a holiday at Chateau de l’Horizon, home of Maxine Elliot, a friend of his mother. Elliot, originally from Rockland, Maine, was a successful actress and socialite.  Within this painting, we see the influence of the Impressionists who utilized unusual viewpoints, modeled after Japanese woodblock prints, but also evidence of their attempts to push the boundaries of the landscape genre.</div>

Located on the French Riviera between Nice and Monte Carlo, the Bay of Eze is renowned for its stunning location and spectacular views. As you can see on pages 80-81 of Rafferty's book, this painting skillfully captures the dizzying heights, set just west of Lou Sueil, the home of Jacques and Consuelo Balsan, close friends of Winston and Clementine.<br> <br>The painting manipulates perspective and depth, a nod to the dramatic shifts of artists including Monet and Cézanne, who challenged traditional vantage points of landscapes. The portrait (i.e. vertical) orientation of the canvas combined with the trees, and the rhyming coastline channels the viewer’s gaze. The perceived tilting of the water's plane imbues the painting with dynamic tension.

Tom Wesselmann will undoubtedly be remembered for associating his erotic themes with the colors of the American flag. But Wesselmann had considerable gifts as a draftsman, and the line was his principal preoccupation, first as a cartoonist and later as an ardent admirer of Matisse. That he also pioneered a method of turning drawings into laser-cut steel wall reliefs proved a revelation. He began to focus ever more on drawing for the sake of drawing, enchanted that the new medium could be lifted and held: “It really is like being able to pick up a delicate line drawing from the paper.”<br><br>The Steel Drawings caused both excitement and confusion in the art world. After acquiring one of the ground-breaking works in 1985, the Whitney Museum of American Art wrote Wesselmann wondering if it should be cataloged as a drawing or a sculpture. The work had caused such a stir that when Eric Fischl visited Wesselmann at his studio and saw steel-cut works for the first time, he remembered feeling jealous. He wanted to try it but dared not. It was clear: ‘Tom owned the technique completely.’<br><br>Wesselmann owed much of that technique to his year-long collaboration with metalwork fabricator Alfred Lippincott. Together, in 1984 they honed a method for cutting the steel with a laser that provided the precision he needed to show the spontaneity of his sketches. Wesselmann called it ‘the best year of my life’, elated at the results that he never fully achieved with aluminum that required each shape be hand-cut.  “I anticipated how exciting it would be for me to get a drawing back in steel. I could hold it in my hands. I could pick it up by the lines…it was so exciting…a kind of near ecstasy, anyway, but there’s really been something about the new work that grabbed me.”<br><br>Bedroom Brunette with Irises is a Steel Drawing masterwork that despite its uber-generous scale, utilizes tight cropping to provide an unimposing intimacy while maintaining a free and spontaneous quality. The figure’s outstretched arms and limbs and body intertwine with the petals and the interior elements providing a flowing investigative foray of black lines and white ‘drop out’ shapes provided by the wall. It recalls Matisse and any number of his reclining odalisque paintings. Wesselmann often tested monochromatic values to discover the extent to which color would transform his hybrid objects into newly developed Steel Drawing works and, in this case, continued with a color steel-cut version of the composition Bedroom Blonde with Irises (1987) and later still, in 1993 with a large-scale drawing in charcoal and pastel on paper.

<div>Still lifes like<em> Oranges and Lemons (C 455) </em>give us an insight to the rich and colorful life of Churchill, just as his landscapes and seascapes do. Churchill painted <em>Oranges and Lemons</em> at La Pausa. Churchill would often frequent La Pausa as the guest of his literary agent, Emery Reves and his wife, Wendy.  Reves purchased the home from Coco Chanel.  While other members of the Churchill family did not share his enthusiasm, Churchill and his daughter Sarah loved the place, which Churchill affectionately called “LaPausaland”.  To avoid painting outside on a chilly January morning, Wendy Reves arranged the fruit for Churchill to paint. Surrounded by the Reves’s superb collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works, including a number of paintings by Paul Cézanne, Oranges and Lemons illuminates Churchill’s relationships and the influence of Cézanne, who he admired. The painting, like Churchill, has lived a colorful life, exhibited at both the 1959 Royal Academy of Art exhibition of his paintings and the 1965 New York World’s Fair.</div>

不难理解罗伯特-印第安纳的四个字母的辉煌的两行排列是如何在1960年代帮助赋予一个运动的。它的起源来自于对宗教的深刻感受以及朋友和导师埃尔斯沃斯-凯利,他的硬朗风格和感性的、不加修饰的色彩给人留下了深刻的印象。但正如印第安纳所感叹的那样,这是一个偶然的时刻,当 "爱咬了我!"设计来到他面前,敏锐而集中。当然,印第安纳把这个设计放在了许多地方,然后这个标志就开始到处出现了。这个信息,最好是用雕塑来传达,矗立在世界各地的城市,并被翻译成多种语言,其中最重要的是它的意大利语版本,"Amor",其偶然的 "O "也向右倾斜。但是,这个版本没有被 "L "的脚踢到,而是给上面的 "A "带来了一种漂亮的舞台摇摆效果。它给人一种新的,但同样深刻的,关于爱和它的情绪化的印象。  无论是哪种情况,"爱 "的倾斜 "O "都给原本稳定的设计带来了不稳定性,这是印第安纳对 "与这个词相关的往往是空洞的感伤,隐喻着不求回报的渴望和失望,而不是神圣的感情"(Robert Indiana's Best: A Mini Retrospective, New York Times, May 24, 2018)的深刻的投射。当然,重复有一个讨厌的习惯,就是削弱我们对简单和开创性设计的天才的欣赏。印第安纳在晚年感叹道:"这是一个了不起的想法,但也是一个可怕的错误。它变得太流行了。而有些人并不喜欢流行"。但是我们,这个充满分歧和陷入动荡的世界的居民,感谢你。"爱》和它的许多版本强烈地提醒我们爱的能力,而这是我们对更美好的未来最好的永恒的希望。

Uniquely among Winston Churchill’s known work, “Coastal Town on the Riviera” is in fact a double painting with the landscape on one side and an oil sketch on the other. The portrait sketch bears some resemblance to Viscountess Castlerosse who was a frequent guest in the same Rivera estates where Churchill visited. Churchill painted her in C 517 and C 518 and gives us a larger picture of the people who inhabited his world. <br><br>Of his approximately 550 works, the largest portion (about 150) were of the South of France, where Churchill could indulge in both the array of colors to apply to his canvas and in gambling, given the proximity of Monte Carlo.

Théo van Rysselberghe的《Sylvie Lacombe肖像》画于1906年,是他那个时代最精致、最稳定的肖像画家之一的经典杰作。色彩和谐,笔触有力,适合其材料任务,她的身体和面容真实而露骨。坐着的人是他的好朋友,画家乔治-拉孔布的女儿,他与高更有着密切的联系,并且是Les Nabis的成员,与艺术家博纳尔、丹尼斯和维雅等人一起。我们现在知道了Sylvie Lacombe,因为Van Rysselberghe非常擅长渲染微妙的面部表情,通过仔细观察和关注细节,提供了对她内心世界的见解。他选择了一种直接的凝视,她的眼睛对着你的眼睛,无论我们与画作的物理关系如何,主体和观众之间都有一种不可避免的盟约。在画这幅肖像时,范-赖斯伯格已经基本放弃了点彩画法。但他继续运用色彩理论准则,用红色的色调--粉色和淡紫色--来衬托绿色,创造出一个和谐的互补色调,他在其中加入了一个强烈的点睛之笔--一个强烈饱和的红色蝴蝶结,不对称地放在她的头边。
