赫伯特·克勞利

象徵主義漫畫家與畫家

赫伯特·E·克勞利是一位英國藝術家、舞台設計師和連環漫畫家。他是《威格爾多奇》的作者,這是一部由《紐約先驅報》出版的象徵主義連環漫畫。該作品從1910年3月至6月共連載了13期。他的作品曾在1913年的軍械庫展覽中展出。 Born in London in 1873, Crowley grew up to become a painter. Even though he studied singing in Paris and became a trained musician, his drawings and cartoons led him to New York, where he lived for around 15 years. His first work after arriving in the US in 1910 was The Wigglemuch (published by the New York Herald), a comic strip that has become his most famous piece. It was also the only collection of comic strip cartoons that he would ever publish. Between 1910 and 1924, many of his paintings and sketches were exhibited in New York, in both collective and individual exhibitions, including the Armory Show in 1913 and frequent artwork displays on 57th Street. He exhibited with Léon Bakst at the Berlin Photographic Company in New York in 1914, where his work was compared to that of William Blake in the exhibition catalog. The New York Times, in an article about the exhibit, remarked, regarding the comparison that "what resemblances may exist between the two artists is strongest in the spiritual quality of their attitude toward their art and a kind of personal symbolism not very clear to the uninitiated." 他於1924年與鄰里劇場創始人愛麗絲·劉易索恩結婚,隨後兩人成為蘇黎世卡爾·榮格核心圈子的一員。克勞利是鄰里劇場最早的一批舞台設計師之一,曾於1917年為《科里德溫的凱恩》設計布景。《紐約時報》在訃告版面上的一則短訊中提及了這場在倫敦舉行的婚禮,僅將克勞利稱為「一位英國藝術家」。該短訊接著提到:「……(愛麗絲)在回來之前沒有向任何朋友透露她可能已經結婚的消息,但朋友們對此並不感到驚訝,因為她與克勞利先生多年來一直是親密的朋友。」 20世紀20年代中後期,克勞利返回倫敦,並花了一些時間旅行。他前往中東,並頻繁訪問印度。克勞利最終在瑞士蘇黎世定居,在那裡度過了餘生。1937年12月11日,他在阿斯科納意外去世。如今,他的一些親屬仍居住在蘇黎世,保存著他的素描、繪畫、著作和個人物品的個人收藏。一批他的藝術作品、設計和新聞剪報存放在大都會藝術博物館的檔案中。 他最近的展覽「兩位奇幻繪圖大師:赫伯特·克勞利和溫瑟·麥凱」於1966年2月至5月在紐約大都會藝術博物館舉行。展覽目錄中將此次展覽描述為「展出五十四幅由二戰前漫畫藝術家創作的素描、水彩畫和政治漫畫,這些藝術家創作了《威格爾馬奇》和《小尼莫夢鄉歷險記》。」 2016年,他的作品(其中許多未曾出版)被收錄於《沉默之廟:赫伯特·克勞利被遺忘的世界》一書中。該書由賈斯汀·杜爾發起眾籌,並於2019年由Beehive Books出版。
