Felrath Hines Also known as: Samuel Felrath Hines, Jr. (November 9, 1913 – October 3, 1993) American Artist in New York City, Hines studied design at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn,N.Y. Hines served as a conservator at several institutions, including the Hirshorn Museum and Sculpture garden, Washington D.C.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.blouinartinfo.com/artists/210528-felrath-hines )〕 Hines was active in the Civil Rights movement and participated in Martin Luther Kings,Jr.'s March on Washington on August 28, 1963. Hines joined a club of sixteen African American artists called Spiral, which was formed by Romare Bearden in 1963. Despite his involvement with the group, Hines wanted his imagery to remain universal and not to be seen as having relevance exclusively to black social causes or to African Americans. As a result, as a result he refused to participate in the Whitney Museum of Art's landmark exhibition' Contemporary Black Artists in America.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.iub.edu/~iuam/online_modules/aaa/artist.php?artist=5 )〕 His work has been associated with the De Stijl movement often containing strong design elements, inspired by Cubism and the simplicity of Piet Mondrian. His worked moved from semi-abstract landscapes in the 1940s and 1950s to geometric abstracts. Aa Hines became more influenced by American modernists- such as Stuart Davis, Ad Reinhardt, Josef Albers, Elsworth Kelly, and Barnett Newman, he began to eliminate line from his compositions, focusing instead on simple shapes and a restrained color palette. His works are included in several collections including the Smithsonian American Art Museum Renwick Gallery including: "Yellow and Gray", 1976, oil on linen, (Gift of Barbara Fiedler Gallery, 1978.128, "Red Stripe with Green Background", 1986 oil on linen, ( Gift of Dorothy C Fisher, 2011.25.2,Abstract landscape , oil on linen, Gift of Dorothy C. Fisher , 2011.46,and Radiant , 1983, oil on linen, Gift of Dorothy C. Fisher , 2011.46 By focusing on non-representational subject matter and harmoniously balanced shapes and colors, Hines hoped to create works thatheld a conceptual meaning. Ashe remarked: " an artist's work is to rearrange everyday phenomena so as to enlarge our perceptions of who we are and what goes on about us." Hines intended his imagery to be absorbed visually, mentally, and spiritually by all people regardless of gender, ethnicity or race. ==References== ART IN REVIEW; Felrath Hines By KEN JOHNSON Published: February 1, 2002 ,http://www.nytimes.com/2002/02/01/arts/art-in-review-felrath-hines.html Out of The Shadow 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「Felrath Hines」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
