Andrew wyeth's masterpiece Christina's World?

Andrew wyeth?

"The Wind of Wisdom" once blew all over China in 1980s.

AndrewWyeth, the most famous American realist painter in the 20th century, died last Friday at his home in Chatsford, western Pennsylvania, at the age of 9 1. When he died, he was as peaceful as if in his sleep. Andrew wyeth's works are filled with faint sadness, and are considered to reflect the alienation and loneliness between people in the 20th century, which is quite existential. The composition and color of his works conform to the trend of realism advocated by China in the1980s. Many China painters draw nutrition and inspiration from Wise's works, and Wise's works have become the imitation blueprints of many China artists' paintings, and even been imitated exactly. ?

Can't get rid of the "wisdom wind"?

Wise was born in Pennsylvania, USA, ranking fifth and the youngest child. Because he was sickly when he was young, his parents chose to let him study at home, so Weiss's art education and painting enlightenment came from his famous illustrator father, N.C. Wise He has never been to school in his life. ?

Wise abandoned abstract expressionism and created controversial realistic themes. The valleys of Pennsylvania and the coastline of Maine are the most common landscapes in Wise's works. His portrait is dull in tone. Wise depicts the barren countryside and tells the harsh life of America in the past through the shades of gray and earth. Pioneers who lived a Puritan life, their humble wooden houses, arid grasslands, empty barns, flying vultures and deserted beaches, described the struggle and desolation of patriots for life, as well as the suffering and loneliness experienced by New England immigrants in building their own country. ?

He was unmoved by the "mainstream" artistic thoughts and concepts in the United States and embarked on the artistic road of "holding prejudice alone and going his own way". Controversy about the status of his works in contemporary art is constantly flashing, including his works exposing the life gap between social classes, his rejection of the taste of the middle class, and his works showing geography, pedagogy and sociology completely opposite to the taste of the middle class. ?

The traditional American realistic painting style represented by andrew wyeth inspired the American photographic realistic painting that appeared in 1970s and 1980s. Wise's creation not only caused great repercussions and heated debates in the United States, but also set off the "Wise Style" in China in the 1970s and 1980s. Luo Zhongli, He Duoling, Ai Xuan, etc. They are all influenced by him, and they haven't completely got rid of it. ?

American classic image "Christina's World"?

Not necessarily as accurate as photography. In a large number of works created by Wise, dry-brush watercolor painting is outstanding, which pays attention to and emphasizes reality. ?

The masterpiece Christina's World (65438-0948) makes Wise a famous realistic painter. The work depicts the back of Christina Olson, who suffers from polio. She drags her body and crawls on her limbs below the waist in the vast corn field in Maine, USA. Her loneliness and strength deeply touched the world. "She is like a crab." Wise recalled before his death. For Wise, she is a noble and dignified model who refuses to use a wheelchair and would rather live in filth than be raised. The house far from the hillside in the photo, Olson House, has now become one of the tourist attractions in Maine. This painting has become one of the classic masterpieces of the United States and is now collected by MoMA, the American Museum of Modern Art. ..

The painting technique used in Christina's World is called "plane painting" by Wise. "Many times, people like my paintings, probably because the sun shines on this side of the window by accident. They have never seen it before, and they can understand it according to their own views." ?

"I have become a benchmark for the public, and many people do," Wise said before his death. "I am also very happy to be a public benchmark, because it gives me more freedom to try to do better. What I do is never as insightful as people think, but they don't believe me when I say it. " He is not an experimental painter, but some people try to emphasize abstract space in his works. Wise always shrugs and avoids these imposed explanations. His works are unpretentious and full of spiritual binding. ?

In 2006, the retrospective exhibition of Wise held in Philadelphia Museum of Art attracted175,000 visitors within 16 weeks. In 2007, Wise won the National Gold Medal. 1963, Wise became the first painter to win the Philadelphia Medal of Freedom. From 65438 to 0990, he became the first living artist to be elected to the Royal British Academy of Art and the first living American artist to be elected to the French Academy of Fine Arts. 1988 won the congressional gold medal.
