杰克逊· 波洛克(Jackson Pollock 1912—1956)作品选：
• 波洛克的作 品，反映了 美国民族不 墨守成规、 勇于进取、 不断开掘宏 观世界和内 在意识深处 的精神，也 表现了他们 在高度工业 化社会中的 忧虑、焦灼 和不安。
• 《1948年第5号》是杰克 逊· 波洛克“滴画”中的 精品，这幅画画在一个长 8英尺，宽4英尺的Байду номын сангаас维 板上，画板上滴满稠密的 棕黄色以及白色、栗色、 黑色颜料，形成了鸟巢状 的外观，看起来有些杂乱 无章。
作品名称 ：《1948年第5号》

Succeed
• 波洛克创造了举世闻名的“滴画”，他的滴画成了无 拘无束的美国性格的典型表现，成了抽象表现主义的 经典作品。一位见过波洛克的人回忆道：“进入波洛 克的画室就像进入了另外一个世界，这个艺术家把他 的思想和充沛的感情完全展露在他的画室之中。画室 的一边是大听大听的颜料罐子，墙上案上到处是颜色 的滴痕。另一边是他的尺度巨大的作品，波洛克经常 坐在前面沉思好几个钟头，他脸上的线条很硬，而且 经常眉头紧锁，显然，波洛克的每一幅作品都不是轻 易画出来的。当他作画的时候，他沉湎于吓人的行动 之中。”评论家称他的画为“行动绘画”，这样一来 画家在画布上呈现给我们的已经不是一张画，而是在 画布上的行动过程，画面成了画家行动的场所，画布 成了画家行动的记录。
Experience
• 波洛克生于怀俄明州，曾就学于洛杉矶的美术学校。 17岁时他来到纽约，在艺术学生联盟随托马斯· 哈 特· 本顿(Thomas Hart Benton)学画。他从象征艺术 上转移，并发展了一个在帆布上喷涂和滴颜料的绘画 技术。 三十年代，他受到墨西哥壁画艺术的影响，评 论家史密斯说：“迪古· 里维拉那种为‘属于大众’的 公共艺术献身的热情，可能有助于波洛克形成偏爱巨 幅的感情。”(爱德华· 卢西· 史密斯著，()陈麦 译：《1945年以后的现代视觉艺术》，上海人民美术 出版社，第26页。)他崇拜塞尚和毕加索，对康定斯 基那种富于表现性的抽象绘画和米罗那种充满神秘梦 幻的作品也情有独钟。 • 1938年到1942年间，他为联邦艺术工程工作;1950年 代到1960年代，他通过“文化自由议会”(Congress for Cultural Freedom)受到中央情报局的支持。 ()

Uncle Sam
• The exact origins of Uncle Sam as a symbol for the United States are unknown. But the most widely accepted theory is that Uncle Sam was named after Samuel Wilson, a businessman from Troy, N.Y. that supplied the U.S. Army with beef in barrels During the War of 1812. The barrels were labeled "U.S." When asked what the initials stood for, one of Wilson's workers said it stood for Uncle Sam Wilson. The suggestion that the meat shipments came from "Uncle Sam" led to the idea that Uncle Sam symbolized the Federal Government and association stuck.

The Buffalo Nickel
The Buffalo Nickel
Today, American coins honor prominent figures of the US government — mostly famous former presidents. But the Buffalo nickel, produced from 1913 to 1938, honored a pair of connected tragedies from the settlement of the American frontier — the destruction of the buffalo herds and the American Indians. While white people had previously been used as models for most American coins, famed artist James Earle Fraser went against tradition by using three actual American Indians as models for his creation. For the buffalo on the other side, since buffalo no longer wandered about the great grasslands, Fraser was forced to sketch an aging buffalo from New York City's Central Park Zoo. Two years later, in 1915, this animal was sold for $100 and killed for meat, a hide, and a wall decoration made from its horns.
