领域: 绘画
拉尔夫·戈林斯是美国画家，与60年代末和70年代初的光现实主义运动有着密切的联系。他最著名的作品是汉堡摊、小货车和加利福尼亚银行的细节画作，这些画作都是刻意客观地描绘出来的。这位艺术家曾经说过："在1963年我想重新开始绘画，但是我决定不去做抽象画。我突然想到我应该尽可能地朝相反的方向走。…在我看来，投影和追踪照片而不是手绘它会更令人震惊。字面上复制一张照片被认为是件坏事。它违背了我所有的艺术学校培训…有些人对我所做的和说的“39”感到沮丧；IT和“39”不是艺术，它可以和39；t可能是艺术和39；这给了我一种反常的鼓励，因为我很高兴做一些让人心烦意乱的事情。我玩得很开心…"；

Born : Corning, California, United States
Nationality :American
Art Movement :Photorealism (Super-Realism, Hyper-Realism)
Ralph Goings is an American painter closely associated with the Photorealism movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. He is best known for his highly detailed paintings of hamburger stands, pick-up trucks, and California banks, portrayed in a deliberately objective manner.
Goings studied art at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland.
The artist once said: "In 1963 I wanted to start painting again but I decided I wasn't going to do abstract pictures. It occurred to me that I should go as far to the opposite as I could. ... It occurred to me that projecting and tracing the photograph instead of copying it freehand would be even more shocking. To copy a photograph literally was considered a bad thing to do. It went against all of my art school training... some people were upset by what I was doing and said 'it's not art, it can't possibly be art'. That gave me encouragement in a perverse way, because I was delighted to be doing something that was really upsetting people... I was having a hell of a lot of fun..."
