Whitfield Lovell (born October 2, 1959 Bronx, New York) is a contemporary African-American artist who is known primarily for his drawings of African-American individuals from the first half of the twentieth century. Lovell creates these drawings in pencil, oil stick, or charcoal on paper, wood, or directly on walls. In his most recent work, these drawings are paired with found objects that Lovell collects at flea markets and antique shops. Lovell is currently represented by DC Moore Gallery, New York, NY.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dcmooregallery.com/artists/whitfield-lovell )〕 ==Early career== Whitfield Lovell was born to Gladys Glover Lovell, an elementary school teacher from South Carolina, and Allister Lovell, a postal clerk and photographer of West Indian descent. He grew up in the Bronx and attended the Fiorella LaGuardia High School of Music and Art in Manhattan. During high school, he also participated in a variety of extracurricular art programs: the Metropolitan Museum of Art High School Program, the Whitney Museum Art Resources Center, the New York State Summer School for the Arts in Fredonia, New York, and the Cooper Union Saturday Program.〔Lippard, Lucy R., Carla Hanzal, Leslie King-Hammond, and Jennifer Ellen Way.

At El Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, Lovell decided that he would become a painter. Lovell has said: Lovell spent a year at Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore in 1977 before traveling in France, Germany, Italy, England, Austria and the Netherlands with the American Institute For Foreign Study in 1978. When he returned to New York, he enrolled in the Fine Arts Department of the Parsons School of Design and then The Cooper Union School of Art, from which he graduated in 1981.〔Lippard, Lucy R., Carla Hanzal, Leslie King-Hammond, and Jennifer Ellen Way. The Art of Whitfield Lovell: Whispers from the Walls, 2nd. ed., San Francisco: Pomegranate, 2003. 112-113.〕 In 1982, Lovell traveled to Egypt, Nigeria, and the Republic of Benin, West Africa. In 1985, Lovell attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, where he reconsidered the nature of his own work: This practice, using old photographs as inspiration and source material, has stayed with Whitfield to this day. In 1986, Lovell stayed with relatives in Barbados, West Indies. In 1989, he attended New York University Graduate Program in Venice, Italy. In 1990, he traveled to Mexico, where he began collecting ex-votos and retablos, which he cited as influences in his work. In 1994, Lovell's work was shown as part of the American contingent at the IV Bienal Internacional de Pintura en Cuenca, Ecuador. Other American artists exhibiting at this show were Donald Locke, Philemona Williamson, Freddy Rodríguez and Emilio Cruz. 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「Whitfield Lovell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
