Diet Wiegman (born 24 January 1944, Schiedam),〔(Diet Wiegman ) at the RKD〕 is a Dutch multidisciplinary visual artist from the Netherlands. Wiegman’s father and grandfather were artists as well. This upbringing lead him to study at the Rotterdam Academy of Art, from 1961 to 1965, and to become a dedicated artist himself. Wiegman is referred to as an 'art omnivore'.〔(Article about Diet Wiegman )〕 An art movement by the same title was named after him. He has works in a multitude of disciplines. == Career == Wiegman acquired fame in the late nineteen sixties as an progressive ceramist.〔(Article about Wiegman's works )〕 He made true-to-form rusted cans and military bags from clay. By doing so he demonstrated a combination between ‘future’ and ‘past’, with the creation of something new that was modeled after something in decay.〔(Sculpture by Diet Wiegman in Rotterdam museum Boijmans van Beuningen )〕 Wiegman also placed his works in a barrel, which he left rotating for days on end. The works came out broken up into tiny pieces. In that way he could see how the works would look decades into the future. By doing so, in his own mind, Wiegman stretched his life out over centuries. He experienced the fact that one is simply moving atoms around and that time is measured through transmutation - just as discarded metal objects are melted down to make something new. Like artists Piero Manzoni, Yayoi Kusama, and later Jean-Michel Basquiat, Wiegman was represented by the renowned Gallery Delta in the Netherlands. As a result, Wiegman’s sculptures were displayed internationally at some of the most prominent galleries and art fairs.〔(Article about Wiegman's works )〕〔(Diet Wiegman mentioned in eBook ''Ceramic Figures'' )〕 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「Diet Wiegman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
