杰克逊· 波洛克(Jackson Pollock 1912—1956)作品选:
• 波洛克的作 品,反映了 美国民族不 墨守成规、 勇于进取、 不断开掘宏 观世界和内 在意识深处 的精神,也 表现了他们 在高度工业 化社会中的 忧虑、焦灼 和不安。
• 《1948年第5号》是杰克 逊· 波洛克“滴画”中的 精品,这幅画画在一个长 8英尺,宽4英尺的Байду номын сангаас维 板上,画板上滴满稠密的 棕黄色以及白色、栗色、 黑色颜料,形成了鸟巢状 的外观,看起来有些杂乱 无章。
作品名称 :《1948年第5号》

• 波洛克创造了举世闻名的“滴画”,他的滴画成了无 拘无束的美国性格的典型表现,成了抽象表现主义的 经典作品。一位见过波洛克的人回忆道:“进入波洛 克的画室就像进入了另外一个世界,这个艺术家把他 的思想和充沛的感情完全展露在他的画室之中。画室 的一边是大听大听的颜料罐子,墙上案上到处是颜色 的滴痕。另一边是他的尺度巨大的作品,波洛克经常 坐在前面沉思好几个钟头,他脸上的线条很硬,而且 经常眉头紧锁,显然,波洛克的每一幅作品都不是轻 易画出来的。当他作画的时候,他沉湎于吓人的行动 之中。”评论家称他的画为“行动绘画”,这样一来 画家在画布上呈现给我们的已经不是一张画,而是在 画布上的行动过程,画面成了画家行动的场所,画布 成了画家行动的记录。
Experience
• 波洛克生于怀俄明州,曾就学于洛杉矶的美术学校。 17岁时他来到纽约,在艺术学生联盟随托马斯· 哈 特· 本顿(Thomas Hart Benton)学画。他从象征艺术 上转移,并发展了一个在帆布上喷涂和滴颜料的绘画 技术。 三十年代,他受到墨西哥壁画艺术的影响,评 论家史密斯说:“迪古· 里维拉那种为‘属于大众’的 公共艺术献身的热情,可能有助于波洛克形成偏爱巨 幅的感情。”(爱德华· 卢西· 史密斯著,()陈麦 译:《1945年以后的现代视觉艺术》,上海人民美术 出版社,第26页。)他崇拜塞尚和毕加索,对康定斯 基那种富于表现性的抽象绘画和米罗那种充满神秘梦 幻的作品也情有独钟。 • 1938年到1942年间,他为联邦艺术工程工作;1950年 代到1960年代,他通过“文化自由议会”(Congress for Cultural Freedom)受到中央情报局的支持。 ()
