Sybil Marjorie Atteck (3 February 1911 − 1975) was a Trinidadian painter known for her work in watercolor. ==Biography== A native of Rio Claro, Atteck moved with her family to Port of Spain when she was in her early teens. There, she became involved in numerous artistic pursuits, with the encouragement of her grandmother. In 1928 she joined the Botanical Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, where she began to produce scientific drawings of flowers. Some of these were exhibited by the Society of Trinidad Independents in 1930. In 1934, Atteck travelled to England, to study at the Regent Street Polytechnic in London. Upon her return to Trinidad she resumed her former position. Atteck travelled again to study, in 1943, when she attended the School of Fine Arts, Washington University, and again in 1948, when she entered the Escuela de Belles Artes in Lima. During the former sojourn she studied with Max Beckmann, whose ideas were to have a profound effect on her work. In Peru she studied the pottery of the Inca, a form which she found related to the pre-Columbian art of the Caribbean with which she was familiar. Stylistically, Atteck remained an expressionist for much of her career, which opened her to charges of being "un-Trinidadian". Nevertheless, she exerted a great deal of influence on her contemporaries; Carlyle Chang, Willi Chen, Leo Glasgow, Althea McNish and Nina Squires are among the artists influenced by her work. Atteck died in 1975. 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「Sybil Atteck」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
