헨리 제롬 샤일

1829-1901 American

조잡하지만 생동감 있는 석판화

헨리 제롬 실레는 독일에서 태어나 1851년 미국으로 이주했다. 해리 T. 피터스는 『스톤 위의 미국』에서 헨리 실레의 작품을 다음과 같이 설명한다: Though often German in source or character, often bearing titles in foreign languages, for the convenience of immigrants, and invariably and outrageously crude in conception, composition, drawing, and lithography, Schile’s prints are undoubtedly American in spirit, because they so vividly represent the ‘melting pot’ from which they came and for which they were made. … They did an extremely large quantity, all folios. I have never seen a small print by them, which is quite unique. Most of Schile’s prints are on heavy black paper. But they appear on all types of paper from the thinnest to the very thickest. The coloring is so crude in many that it beggars description. When asked who made the best once, I declined to answer, but replied that quite surely Schile made the worst. Yet in spite of that they have real spirit of lithography.”
