Peter Golfinopoulos, an American artist, was born in Manhattan in 1928. His paintings are marked by a variety of highly individualistic modes. == Life/education == Served for three years in the U.S. Air Force. Art Students League of New York, 1950–1951. Studied with Edwin Dickinson and George Grosz. Columbia University, BFA (1956) and MFA (1958). Golfinopoulos’s main interests were philosophy and art history. He pursued graduate work in philosophy with Robert Denoon Cumming and Albert Hofstadter and studied extensively with art historian Meyer Schapiro. After leaving Columbia, Golfinopoulos remained in contact with Schapiro, their conversations were influential to his development. After earning his MFA, in 1958 Golfinopoulos had his first one-man show at Collette Roberts’ Grand Central Moderns Gallery, and began teaching part-time at Columbia’s School of Fine Arts. Offered tenure in 1968, feeling that the increase in hours and responsibility would interfere with painting, he decided to leave. Later, he accepted an offer from Stuart Klonis, then head of the Art Students League, to teach one afternoon a week. He maintains that commitment to the present day, seeing it as an ethical imperative. In 1963 Golfinopoulos met Charles Egan of the Charles Egan Gallery, who became his dealer and his friend. In Egan he found someone whose connection to history, and whose understanding and respect for art, made him an ideal guide for a young artist. Through Egan he met art historian H. H. Arnason and art critic Harris Rosenstein, whose aesthetic convictions and ongoing conversations provided additional grounding and moral support. His friendship with Egan continued after the gallery closed in 1972. 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「Peter Golfinopoulos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
