简介
这是关于美国艺术家汤姆·斯劳特（Tom Slaughter，1955–2014）的首部专题画册（蓝封面版），全面呈现了他大量的绘画、版画和插画作品。斯劳特以其风格鲜明、色彩明亮的波普风格艺术创作而闻名，作品常以纽约城市场景和水上休闲生活为主题，充满对生活的热爱与好奇。
大都会艺术博物馆二十世纪艺术部首任策展人亨利·盖尔德扎勒（Henry Geldzahler）曾评价：“斯劳特艺术中最引人注目的特质是那种新鲜感——从纽约市的水塔到乡间泛舟的乐趣，熟悉的景象被重新审视……大胆明亮的色彩迅速铺陈，与莱热、斯图尔特·戴维斯、杜菲和利希滕斯坦等艺术家的作品形成共鸣。”他的作品也常被与马蒂斯相比较。
书中收录了多位艺术家、策展人和斯劳特生前好友撰写的回忆文章：MoMA馆长格伦·洛瑞（Glenn Lowry）在序言中称斯劳特为挚友，其艺术源于对生活简单乐趣的好奇；演员兼作家大卫·马歇尔·格兰特（David Marshall Grant）回忆了高中美术课上“负空间”概念对斯劳特的启发；前妻玛尔特·乔斯林（Marthe Jocelyn）回顾了两人在童书创作上的合作。此外，还有多位艺术家好友的访谈，共同呈现了这位艺术家乐观而坦诚的艺术人生。

Of Tom Slaughter, Henry Geldzahler, the first curator of twentieth-century art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, commented: "The quality of freshness, the familiar world re-seen, from the water towers of New York City to the rural pleasures of boating, is the most immediately arresting aspect of Tom Slaughter's art... Bold bright colors swiftly laid down echo with resonances: Léger and Stuart Davis, Raoul Dufy and Roy Lichtenstein." Slaughter's work, with its seemingly effortless whimsy rendered with a strong sense of line, color, and rhythm, has also been compared to Matisse. The Artist Book Foundation is pleased to publish Tom Slaughter, an extensive monograph of the artist's enormous body of work that celebrates his enduring optimism, personal and artistic honesty, and charming brashness in a landscape of pure joy. The book features a foreword by MoMA director Glenn Lowry, who reveals Slaughter as a treasured friend whose artistry was fueled by endless curiosity about life's simple pleasures, along with contributions from David Marshall Grant, Marthe Jocelyn, Anne Pasternak, George Negroponte, and others, plus interviews with the artist's friends Stephen Hannock, Jean-Paul Russell, Robert Harms, Ray Charles White, and Scott Kilgour.
