Andrew Wyeth
新写实主义大师——安德鲁·怀斯

Andrew Newell Wyeth (1917-2009) was a visual artist, primarily a realist painter, working predominantly in a regionalist style. He was one of the best-known U. S. artists of the middle 20th century. In his art, Wyeth's favorite subjects were the land and people around him, both in his hometown of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and at his summer home in Cushing, Maine. Wyeth often noted: “I paint my life.” One of the best-known images in 20th-century American art is his painting, Christina's World , currently in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. This tempera was painted in 1948 when Wyeth was thirty-one years old.
安德鲁·纽厄尔·怀斯(1917—2009)是视觉艺术家，主要从事现实主义绘画，是著名的地方主义画家。他是20世纪中叶美国最知名的艺术家之一。怀斯最喜欢的绘画主题是身边的土地和人们，取材来自他的家乡宾夕法尼亚州查兹佛德和其在缅因州库辛的夏日别墅。怀斯经常强调说：“我画的是我的生活”。20世纪美国艺术界最出名的形象之一便是怀斯的作品《克里斯蒂娜的世界》，目前收藏在纽约市现代艺术博物馆。这幅蛋彩画创作于1948年，当时怀斯31岁。

Andrew Wyeth was born 12 July, 1917 on Henry Thoreau's 100th birthday. Due to his father's fond appreciation of Henry Thoreau, he found this both coincidental and exciting. Andrew was home-tutored because of his frail health. Like his father, the young Wyeth read and appreciated the poetry of Robert Frost and writings of Henry Thoreau and studied their relationships with nature. Music and movies also heightened his artistic sensitivity. One major influence, discussed at length by Wyeth himself was King Vidor's The Big Parade . The film's director King Vidor later made a documentary Metaphor where he and Wyeth discuss the influence of the film on his paintings, including Winter 1946 , Snow Flurries, Portrait of Ralph Kline and so on.
怀斯生于1917年7月12日，正好是亨利·梭罗的百年诞辰。他的父亲十分欣赏梭罗，认为这是件既巧合又让人激动的事。因为体弱多病，怀斯在家里接受教育。他跟父亲一样，阅读和欣赏罗伯特·弗罗斯特的诗歌和亨利·梭罗的文学作品，并研究它们与自然的关系。音乐和电影也提升了怀斯的艺术敏感度。怀斯自己曾详细探讨过导演金·维多的《大阅兵》对他产生的深远影响。后来这部电影的导演金·维多制作了一部纪录片《隐喻》，其中他和怀斯讨论了《大阅兵》对怀斯画作的影响，这些作品包括《一九四六年冬》《风雪》《拉尔夫·克莱恩的画像》等。
