ProfessorOk, Im going to begin this lecture by giving you your next assignment. Remember I said that at some

2、point during this semester I wanted you to attend an exhibit at the Fairy Street Gallery and then write about it? Well, the exhibit that I want you to attend is coming up. Its already started in fact, but itll be at the gallery for the next month, which should give you plenty of time to complete thi

3、s assignment. The name of the artist exhibiting there is Rose Frantzen. Frantzens work may be unfamiliar to you since shes a relatively young artist. But shes got a very unusual style, compared to some of the artists weve looked at this term. But anyway, Frantzens style is what she herself calls Rea

4、listic Impressionism. So youve probably studied both of these movements separately, separate movements, Realism and Impressionism, in some of your art history courses. So who can just sum these up? StudentWell, Impressionism started in the late 19th century. Umthe basic impressionist style was very

5、different from earlier styles. It didnt depict scenes or models exactly as they looked. Um Impressionist painters tended to apply paint really thickly, and in big brushstrokes, so the texture of the canvas was rough. ProfessorGood. What else? What were the subjects? StudentWell, a lot of impressioni

6、st artists painted everyday scenes, like people on the streets and in cafes, uh, lots of nature scenes, especially landscapes. ProfessorGood. So when you go to the exhibit, I really want you to take a close look at a certain painting. Its a farm scene. And you will see it right as you enter the gall

7、ery. The reason I think this painting is so important is that it stresses the impressionist aspect of Frantzens style. Its an outdoor scene, an everyday scene. Its kind of bleak, but you can really see those broad brushstrokes and the blurry lines. The colors arent quite realistic. The sky is kind o

8、f, well an unnatural pinkish yellow. And the fence in the foreground is blue, but somehow the overall scene gives an impression of a cold, bleak winter day on a farm. So thats the impressionist side of her work. Oh, and speaking about farms, that reminds me. One interesting thing I read about Franzt

9、en is that when she first moved back to Iowa after living abroad, she often visited this place in her town called the Sales Barn. And the Sales Barn, it was basically this place where the local farmers bought and sold their cattle, their farm animals. And the reason Frantzen went there, and she late

10、r on would visit other places like dance halls, was to observe people and the ways that they moved. She really found that this helped her work-that it gave her an understanding of body movements and actions, how humans move, and stand still, what their postures were like, too. So, what about Realism

11、? What are the elements of Realism we should be looking for in Frantzens work? StudentUm real honest depictions of subject matter, pretty unidealized stuff, and pretty everyday subject matter, too. ProfessorGood. One other painting I really want you to look at is of a young woman surrounded by pumpk

12、ins. You will notice that the womans face is so realistic looking that its almost like a photograph. The womans nose is a little less than perfect and her hair is kind of messed up. This is realism. But then, the background of the painting, this woman with the pumpkins is wrapped in a blanket of bro

13、ad thick brushstrokes, and, its all kinds of zigzagging brushstrokes and lines, kind of chaotic almost when you look at it close. And there are vibrant colors. Theres lots of orange, with little hints of an electric blue peeking out. I find Frantzen to be a very accessible artist. I mean, some artis

14、ts, to appreciate them, you have to know their life story. But heres a little bit about Rose Frantzens life anyway. She attended art school, but was told by one of her instructors that she was not good at illustration, that she should go into advertising instead. So she took advertising classes and

15、fine arts classes too, until she was convinced by the head of an advertising agency that her work was really good, that she could be an artist. But of course, its not as easy as that, and so Frantzen had to paint other peoples portraits at places like art fairs just to make money to buy paint for he

16、r more serious art work. No matter what, she never stopped painting. And now, Frantzen is doing extremely well. And her work is being shown all over the country. So I think most of us would be discouraged if we had to face challenges and difficulties like that. But whats important is that you keep a

17、t it that you dont give up. Thats what is really important to remember. 當代藝術 獨白：聽一段節(jié)選自當代藝術課堂的講座。 教授：同學們，我將以給各位布置下一次作業(yè)的方式來開始今天的課。還記得這學期我說過讓你們參加仙女街畫廊展出并寫觀后感的事嗎？現(xiàn)在，我說的那個展出馬上就到了。其實，它已經(jīng)開始了，而那個畫廊將在下個月開始，給你們來完成這次作業(yè)的時間應該還算充裕的。參展的藝術家有 Rose Frantzen。Frantzen 的作品對你們來說可能會陌生，因為她是一個相對年輕的藝術家。相對于我們這個學期了解過的一些藝術家而言，她

18、的風格的確和大家有很大不同。但不管怎么說，F(xiàn)rantzen 的風格是她自己宣稱的現(xiàn)實印象派。所以，你們可能已經(jīng)在藝術史課程里間歇地學習過這兩次運動，迥異的運動現(xiàn)實主義和印象派。那么，誰來對它們做個小結(jié)？ 學生：印象派開始于 19 世紀后期。嗯.基礎印象派畫家的風格跟早期的風格有著很大的不同。它并不完全按照實景或模特的形狀來描繪。嗯.印象派畫家往往不吝油墨，并喜歡用粗筆，這樣使帆布的質(zhì)地顯得粗糙。 教授：很好。還有嗎？(至于)主題呢？ 學生：嗯，很多印象派畫家畫日常生活場景，如在街上和在網(wǎng)吧的人，很多的自然景觀，特別是山水風景。 教授：很好。當你們?nèi)⒂^這個展會的時候，我真希望你們仔細看一個作品

19、。這是一個農(nóng)場場景。你一進入畫廊就會看見。我認為這幅畫是如此重要的原因是它突出了 Frantzen 印象派風格的特征。這是一個戶外場景，日常生活場景。這(看上去)有點凄涼，看著這些粗大、模糊的線條。顏色不太逼真。天空(的顏色)有點嗯，桃黃色。還有，近景的籬笆又是藍色的，但這個場景整體給人冷清、凄涼，冬日農(nóng)場的印象。這就是她印象派風格的作品。哦，說到農(nóng)場，倒提醒了我。我讀過關于 Franzten 的一件趣事：當她結(jié)束國外生活第一次回到愛荷華的時候，她經(jīng)常光顧她老家一個叫做 Sales Barn 的地方。Sales Barn 基本上是當?shù)剞r(nóng)民買賣牲畜、家畜的地方。而 Frantzen 去那里和后來去其他地方如舞廳的原因是觀察人們和人們移動的方式。她發(fā)現(xiàn)這對她的工作相當有幫助這段經(jīng)歷讓她了解了身體的運動，人們?nèi)绾挝鑴樱绾戊o立，他們的姿勢又是怎么樣的。那么，現(xiàn)實主義呢？我們應該從Frantzen 的作品中尋找什么樣的現(xiàn)實
