本书全面呈现美国画家菲利普·塔夫（生于1955）的艺术创作。这位艺术家通过综合运用丝网印刷、亚麻油毡版画、拼贴、模板刷印、树胶水彩、浮彩技法、丙烯、瓷漆、水彩与金箔等多元手法，拓展了绘画的边界。

 

塔夫娴熟驾驭多种技艺，在独特的图像创造与重复的纹样图案之间自如转换，并将图案与生物形态抽象等不同表现手法交织融合。

 

约翰·姚撰写的评论洞见深刻，首次完整追溯了塔夫从库伯联盟学院师从汉斯·哈克至今的艺术发展轨迹。文章着重剖析塔夫对各类技法的融汇贯通，并探寻其多元灵感来源——包括实验电影人玛雅·德伦、约瑟夫·康奈尔、斯坦·布拉哈格、布鲁斯·康纳和哈里·史密斯，以及瑞士艺术家安德烈·汤姆金斯（1930-1985）的绘画作品。

 

This book presents a comprehensive view of the work of American painter Philip Taaffe (b.1955), who has expanded the parameters of painting through his use of silkscreen, linocuts, collage, stencils, gouache, chine-collé, marbling, acrylic, enamel, watercolor, and gold leaf.

 

Possessing many technical skills, Taaffe has moved decisively between unique pictorial inventions and repeated patterns and images, as well as overlaying divergent modes of representation, such as pattern and biomorphic abstraction.

 

John Yau's insightful text is the first to look at every part of Taaffe's artistic development, from the works he made at Cooper Union, while a student of Hans Haacke, to the present. It pays special attention to Taaffe's acquisition of different techniques, as well as investigating his various sources of inspiration, which include the work of experimental filmmakers Maya Deren, Joseph Cornell, Stan Brakhage, Bruce Conner and Harry Smith, and the paintings of Swiss artist André Thomkins (1930-1985).
