马塞尔·杜尚(Marcel Duchamp)曾经说过,任何绘画作品的活跃的“青春期”不会超过三、四十年,他建议年轻的艺术家“去创作一幅能在你的有生之年焕发感染力的作品”。五十多年前,画家史蒂芬·维勒(Steve Wheeler,1912-1992)以此为目标开始了他的创作生涯。但遗憾的是,当他在世的时候,其作品并没有得到广泛的关注,而是艺术家逝世后的一些展览,才使这些作品逐渐显露出来。近两年来,纽约的几次联展突出介绍了史蒂芬·维勒,尤其是,其个人回顾展“史蒂芬·维勒:造访二十世纪的神谕”,去年冬天在新泽西州的蒙特克莱尔(Montelair)艺术博物馆开幕,更是令人激动不已。
Marcel Duchamp once said that the active “adolescence” of any painting would not last for more than three or four decades. He suggested that young artists “should create a life that can be revitalized in your lifetime s work”. More than fifty years ago, painter Steve Wheeler (1912-1992) began his creative career with this goal. Unfortunately, however, his works did not receive widespread attention when he was alive, but some of the exhibitions after the artist’s death gradually exposed these works. In the past two years, several New York shows have highlighted Stephen Weiler, in particular, his personal retrospective, “Stephen Weller, Visiting the Twentieth Century Oracles,” last winter at Montelair, New Jersey, The opening of the Museum of Art is even more exciting.
