汤姆·韦塞尔曼·恩茨(1931-2004)

 
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.

"艺术家的挑战始终是找到你自己做事的方式"。- 汤姆-韦塞尔曼

历程

汤姆-韦塞尔曼无疑会因为将他的色情主题与美国国旗的颜色联系起来而被人记住。但韦塞尔曼作为一个绘图员有相当大的天赋,线条是他的主要关注点,首先是作为一个漫画家,后来是作为马蒂斯的狂热崇拜者。他还开创了一种将图画变成激光切割的钢制墙面浮雕的方法,这被证明是一种启示。他开始越来越多地关注为画而画,对这种新媒介可以被举起和握住感到陶醉。"这真的就像能够从纸上拿起一张精致的线条画。

钢笔画》在艺术界引起了兴奋和困惑。惠特尼美国艺术博物馆在1985年购得其中一件开创性的作品后,写信给韦塞尔曼,想知道它应该被编为绘画还是雕塑。这件作品引起了如此大的轰动,以至于当埃里克-菲舍尔韦塞尔曼的工作室参观并第一次看到钢切作品时,他记得自己感到很嫉妒。他想尝试一下,但不敢。很明显:"汤姆完全拥有这种技术。

韦塞尔曼的这种技术在很大程度上归功于他与金属制品制造者Alfred Lippincott长达一年的合作。1984年,他们一起磨练了一种用激光切割钢材的方法,这种方法提供了他所需要的精度,以显示其草图的自发性。韦塞尔曼称这是 "我生命中最美好的一年",他为自己从未用铝材完全实现的结果感到高兴,因为铝材需要手工切割每个形状。 "我预料到,当我拿回钢制的图纸时,会是多么令人兴奋。我可以把它拿在手里。我可以拿起它的线条......这太令人兴奋了......反正是一种近乎狂喜的感觉,但新作品确实有一些东西抓住了我。"
