}} Charles Garabedian ((アルメニア語:Չարլզ Կարապետյան), born 1923) is an American Armenian artist known for his imaginative paintings and drawings rich in references to Greek and Chinese symbolism. His detailed artwork reveals a deeply personal world that explores the relationship between painting and sculpture. == Biography == Garabedian was born in Detroit, Michigan, to Armenian immigrants who had come to the U.S. to escape the Armenian Genocide. Garabedian's mother died when he was two and his father was unable to take care of the three children.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.haaedu.org/charles-garabedian )〕 Garabedian lived in an orphanage until age nine, when he, his father, and siblings moved to Los Angeles, California.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/charles-garabedian/ )〕 From 1942-1945, Garabedian served as a staff sergeant in the United States Air Force and was an aerial gunner in the European theater during World War II. Under the auspices of the G.I. Bill, Garabedian studied literature at the University of California, Santa Barbara from 1947 to 1948. He then went on to the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, where he earned a Bachelor's degree in history in 1950. He received his Masters degree in 1961 at the University of California Los Angeles. He did not, however, become an artist until later in his life. When in his forties, Garabedian began to explore the relationships between painting and drawing. His fascination with China is reflected in many of his pieces incorporating dragons and ornate grillwork and pattern. Although his most prolific period was in the late 1960s, he still continues to paint. He gave his first solo exhibition at the Ceeje gallery in Los Angeles (1963) and subsequent one man shows followed at the Fine Arts Gallery at California State University, Northridge (1974), and The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1976). His group exhibitions include the Whitney Museum of American Art Biennial Exhibition: Contemporary American Art, New York (1975) and others. In 1979, he was a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship for Fine Arts. In 2011, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art hosted a retrospective of Garabedian's work. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Garabedian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
