简介

最注重隐私的艺术家被其工作室附近一个艰苦的农场及其居民所吸引，这揭示了他一些最私密的友谊，并催生了他一些最具代表性的画作。安德鲁·怀斯（Andrew Wyeth）在宾夕法尼亚州田园诗般的布兰迪万河河谷少年时期漫步时，首次发现了德国移民卡尔和安娜·库纳（Karl and Anna Kuerner）拥有的这座农场的幽静之美，此后它吸引了他一生，成为他超过一千幅风景画、室内画和肖像画的主题。正如本书所追溯的，怀斯在农场简朴的外表下所发现的东西，是理解他独特艺术视野的关键。这本近距离审视怀斯与库纳农场及那里的人长达数十年联系的书，不仅揭示了艺术家许多最深沉画作的来源，也揭示了赋予其看似简单的艺术对几代大众产生神秘吸引力的秘密。当怀斯成为美国最受赞誉的艺术家之一时，他继续回到农场、回到库纳一家，以及神秘的赫尔加·特斯托夫（Helga Testorf）身边，从深刻的观察体验中创作出永恒的肖像，并开辟了一条从平凡中发现非凡的道路。本书包含多位学者的专文，包括William L. Coleman对库纳传说的解析、Allison C. Slaby对怀斯《农场池塘》在其暗黑作品体系中地位的分析、James Welling对怀斯氛围感的探讨，以及Karen Baumgartner对卡尔与安娜·库纳其人其事的梳理。

The most private of artists was beguiled by a hardscrabble farm and its residents down the road from his studio, revealing some of his most personal friendships, and yielding some of his most iconic paintings. Andrew Wyeth first discovered the haunting beauty of the farm owned by German immigrants Karl and Anna Kuerner on his boyhood rambles in Pennsylvania's bucolic Brandywine River Valley, and it would captivate him for the rest of his life, appearing as subject of more than one thousand landscapes, interiors, and portraits. As traced throughout this volume, just what Wyeth uncovered beneath the farm's austere facade is key to understanding his singular artistic vision. This intimate look at Wyeth's decades-long connection to Kuerner Farm and the people there reveals not only the source of many of the artist's most deeply resonant paintings but also the secrets that have given his deceptively simple art its mysterious pull on the popular imagination for generations. As Wyeth became one of the country's most celebrated artists, he continued to return to the farm, the Kuerners, and to the enigmatic Helga Testorf, creating timeless portraits from an experience of deep looking and charting a way toward unearthing from the ordinary, the extraordinary. The volume includes essays by multiple scholars, featuring William L. Coleman unpacking the Kuerner myth, Allison C. Slaby examining Farm Pond's place in Wyeth's dark oeuvre, James Welling discussing Wyeth's vibe, and Karen Baumgartner exploring Karl and Anna Kuerner as subjects
