《在1862年燃烧的特洛伊》摩西奶奶(Grandma Moses)高清作品欣赏

摩西奶奶(Grandma Moses)高清作品《在1862年燃烧的特洛伊》

作品名：在1862年燃烧的特洛伊

艺术家：摩西奶奶

年代：1943

风格：素人艺术（原始主义）

类型：风俗画

特洛伊位于纽约奥尔巴尼的哈得逊河对面，是摩西奶奶家在鹰桥附近最大的城市。现存的文件表明，在结婚前的一段短暂时间内，这位未来的艺术家在特洛伊州从事了工厂工作。摩西出生两年后，特洛伊州发生了一场大火，这在当地传说中是显而易见的。摩西删掉并保存了1939的一个纪念性新闻剪辑，并将其作为一系列绘画的基础。艺术家在剪辑上的铅笔符号表明她是如何建议修改小插图的。1862年《特洛伊之燃烧》是她创作的这个主题的第五版，已经与剪辑相去甚远。传统的插图往往侧重于前景或背景，但很少同时兼顾两者。这两种观点的结合是“Grandma Moses”风格的一个标志。因此，在《特洛伊的燃烧》中，摩西将场景扩展到燃烧的桥梁之外，包括更多的前景以及背景中的城市的详细渲染。

Title:The Burning of Troy in 1862

artist:Grandma Moses

Date:1943

Style:Naïve Art (Primitivism)

Genre:genre painting

Troy, which lies across the Hudson River from Albany, New York, was the largest city near Grandma Moses' home in Eagle Bridge. Surviving documents suggest that, for a brief period before she married, the future artist did factory work in Troy.A massive fire in Troy two years after Moses' birth clearly figured prominently in local lore. Moses cut out and saved a commemorative news clipping, published in 1939, and used it as the basis for a series of paintings. The artist's pencil notations on the clipping indicate how she proposed to modify the vignette. The Burning of Troy in 1862, the fifth version she did of the subject, is already quite far removed from the clipping.Conventional illustration tends to focus on foreground or background, but seldom on both at once. Combining these two views was one hallmark of the "Grandma Moses" style. Thus, in The Burning of Troy Moses has considerably expanded the scene beyond the burning bridge, including more foreground as well as a detailed rendering of the city in the background.
