..The answer to the production-line Technicolor glamour of American life.
正回應了美國人生活中特藝七彩電影所帶來的魔力
Yes, just watch the fur fly as the most talked-about girls in Hollywood go out loaded for big game.
是的 請看這流言蜚語 好萊塢備受矚目的女孩們 為了大人物喝得爛醉
But perhaps there was another way to look at that glitz,a lovingly ironic look which would remake it as American iconography.
但也許可以從另一個角度看這種浮華 一種諷刺但有充滿愛意的角度 于是這種浮華被重塑為美國肖像研究
Those artists who chose not to hold their noses at popular culture but bring it into their art clearly owed something to that old tease of Marcel Duchamp's,
這些藝術家選擇 不讓自己與流行文化齊平 而是把它帶入他們的藝術中 當然這要歸功于馬塞爾·杜尚的玩笑
that anything could be art if it was framed and labelled as such.
任何事物都可以成為藝術 只要它被放入畫框內貼上標簽
For the high priests of abstraction, pop was an outrage,a wallowing in the junk from which art was supposed to redeem us.
對于抽象主義的大師來說 波普是一種暴行 藝術本是救贖 而這是源源不斷的垃圾
Yet it's this visual greediness which has made contemporary art such a hit, the sense that the quality of the art and its subtlety isn't necessarily compromised by its playfulness.
但正是視覺的貪欲讓當代藝術 給我們造成這樣大的沖擊 藝術的特質和敏銳 沒有妥協于玩樂
But of course, enjoying pop art doesn't mean to say you can't also surrender to the great abstract machines.
當然 享受波普藝術并不意味著 你不能屈服于抽象主義的大潮流
Everything, all of this,feeds into the spectacular art universe of today.
所有這一切 共同造就了如今令人驚嘆的藝術世界
But there are some contemporary artists for whom neither abstraction nor pop art is quite enough,
但是有些當代藝術家不滿足于抽象文化或是波普藝術
because they want to return to the original,morally charged mission of modernism,to rescue us from the numbing routine of daily life.
因為他們想返璞歸真 想回到能引起人們強烈情感的現代藝術 以此拯救我們遠離日常生活的瑣碎
They want to bring us up short, to bring us close to the drama of the human condition, to make us see,feel and think it intensely all over again.
他們想快速培養我們 讓我們接近人性的戲劇 讓我們一遍又一遍 專注地去看 去感受 以及去思考
And it turns out that in order to do this,they have to return and engage with exactly all those things that modern art thought it had banished forever
結果證明 為了能做到這一點 他們必須回到所有被現代藝術 徹底拋棄的東西上
- the human figure,the materials of nature and, above all,those endless, haunting stories which never, ever go away.
那就是人像自然的素材 最重要的是那些永無止境的永遠無法忘懷的故事
