John Grenville Stezaker (born 1948), is an English conceptual artist. ==Overview== John Stezaker attended the Slade School of Art in London,〔(Stezaker on the Stills Gallery website )〕 graduating with a Higher Diploma in Fine Art in 1973. In the early 1970s, he was among the first wave of British conceptual artists to react against what was then the predominance of Pop art.〔Colin Gleadell, "("Market news," ), The Telegraph, 24 July 2007.〕 Solo exhibitions have been rare, however, in the mid-2000s, Stezaker's work was rediscovered by the art market;〔 he is now collected by several international collectors and museums.〔 His work is surreal in tone and is often made using collage and the appropriation of pre-existing images such as postcards, film stills, and publicity photographs.〔 Art historian Julian Stallabrass said, "The contrast at the heart of these works (Stezaker ) is not between represented and real, but between the unknowing primitives of popular culture, and the conscious, ironic artist and viewer of post-modern images."〔Julian Stallabrass, ("John Stezaker, ‘Care and Control’, Salama Caro Gallery." )〕 One work included in an exhibition at Salama-Caro Gallery, London, in 1991, depicted an image of a punch clock together with the caption "Why Spend Time on an Exhibition Like This?"〔Henry Bond, "Haunting with Second-Hand Images," ''Creative Camera'', Issue 309, April–May 1991, p. 48.〕 Colin Gleadell wrote in ''The Daily Telegraph'' in 2007 that Stezaker "is now being hailed as a major influence on the Young British Art movement."〔 Until 2006, Stezaker was Senior Tutor in Critical and Historical Studies at the Royal College of Art in London. He is represented in London by The Approach Gallery. 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「John Stezaker」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
