一个现代画家要从抽象主义转向具象主义是需要很大勇气的。尤其是当具象主义现在正表现出明显的享乐主义色彩的时侯,那就可能需要更大的勇气。这初听起来似乎难以令人相信。比尔·杰克林是一位英国艺术家,他这一代现在正进入全盛时期。杰克林生于1943年,六十年代中期在英国皇家艺术学院学习,这个时期正是波普艺术处于高潮时期,1970年杰克林举办了他的第一次个人画展。在以后的五年里,他又连续举办了多次画展。1973年,杰克林被选为艺术家代表,参加了英国艺术家联合会在巴黎现代艺术博物馆举办的大型《今日英国绘画》展览会。与他一起参加展出的画家有达维特·霍克尼,布里盖特·赖雷,理查德·哈密尔顿和汤姆·菲利浦,都是极为杰出的人物。实际上杰克林很快就为自己赢得了极高的新声誉,使英国艺术的深闷空气焕然一新。正因如此,使他彻底改变方向的原因那就一定是一 It takes a lot of courage for a modern painter to shift from abstractism to figurativeness.
