그림 소개
Vija Celmins painted an aircraft carrier under attack in Explosion at Sea, made in 1966 and now at the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago. She worked from photographs found in secondhand books and periodicals, beginning this practice in the mid-1960s. Images of the Second World War connected with her Latvian childhood during the conflict. Small, precise strokes and layered paint reconstruct the attack. The intimate format and careful handling contrast with the destructive subject, one of several paintings concerning warfare, technology and devastation.
미술관의 설명
Explosion at Sea belongs to a group of paintings by Vija Celmins on the themes of war, technology, and devastation. In the mid-1960s, the artist began to use photographs from books, magazines, and newspapers found at secondhand stores and yard sales as the point of departure for her work. After locating a wealth of material on World War II—a conflict that was the backdrop of her childhood in Latvia—Celmins employed subtle layers of precise brushstrokes to construct a detailed image of an attack on an aircraft carrier. The resulting painting, like most of her works of this moment, creates a disturbing contrast between the intimacy of the format and brushwork and the haunting seriousness of the theme.
