(lively music playing) [Voiceover] We're at SFMOMA, and we're looking at a large Robert Motherwell, "Elegy to the Spanish Republic No. 57," and it was made in 1957, finished in 1960.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] And there are a whole lot of Motherwells that look a lot like this and that are about the same subject, and it's a series that he did that occupied most of his life.발음듣기
대기중
It was meant to illustrate a poem written by his friend and colleague, Harold Rosenberg, the art critic.발음듣기
대기중
Rosenberg and Motherwell, this is a decade earlier now in 1948, were co-editing an artist magazine called "Possibilities."발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] So these forms, these hanging suspended oval forms, the horizontal rectangular shapes that don't ever quite touch the bottom, the painterly quality around the edges of the forms, it being hard to tell whether the white paint is in front of the black paint or vice versa, these are things that we see in this entire series.발음듣기
대기중
There is something about these shapes and the way that they were painted and the black and white that suggested for Motherwell something about fascism and the Spanish Republic and Franco.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] All issues relating to the Spanish Civil War and the loss of democracy, this opening gambit of what would become the violence of the Second World War.발음듣기
대기중
Motherwell was seeking an abstract language that could embody his humanist feelings and his deep sense of loss and mourning and elegy for the tragedies that had taken place in Europe.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] And many artists were involved in the Spanish Civil War, and writers. That's right.발음듣기
대기중
A lot of Americans and other Europeans were deeply sympathetic to the democratic ideals of the Republic.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] And so it's hard to know what these forms meant to him precisely, but it's not hard to feel a brooding sense of entrapment when standing in front of the canvas.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] That paint can also be emotionally direct is absolutely appropriate for Motherwell's ideas at this time.발음듣기
대기중
Motherwell was a painter, but he was also a critic and interested in philosophy and literature.발음듣기
대기중
He is actually referencing not only that original poem that this motif was intended originally to illustrate, but then he quotes the great Spanish poet Lorca in the first in this series, which is, "At Five in the Afternoon."발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] That poem by Rosenberg that this motif originally illustrated had a feeling of sadism.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] And suffering. And so that becomes transferred to this idea of looking at the Spanish Republic and the Spanish Civil War.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] It's hard to look at this canvas, for me at least, and not feel the profound loss and violence and Motherwell's need to find an idiom, a visual language that can convey it that is solemn enough.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] When this is being painted, "Guernica" by Picasso, which Motherwell was thinking about, that painting that is blacks and whites and grays.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] That's right. Remember, it was at MoMA because Picasso wouldn't let it go back to Spain so long as Franco was in power.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] So speaking to that violence that had been so prevalent for so long in Europe and trying to find a new kind of pictorial language.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] This is an artist that we associate with this great American school of painting, Abstract Expressionism.발음듣기
