English to Chinese: Appropriation Art (挪用藝術) General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Source text - English Appropriation Art
To appropriate is to borrow. Appropriation is the practice of creating a new work by taking a pre-existing image from another context – art history, advertising, the media – and combining that appropriated image with new ones. Such borrowings can be regarded as the two=dimensional equivalent of the FOUND OBJECT. But instead of, say, incorporating that “found” image into a new collage, the postmodern appropriator redraws, repaints, or rephotographs it. This provocative act of taking possession flouts the MODERNIST reverence for originality. While modern artists often tipped their hats to their art historical forebears (Edouart Manet borrowed a well-known composition from Raphael, and Pablo Picasso paid homage to Peter Paul Rubens and Diego Velaquez), they rarely put such gleanings at the intellectual center of their work. A sea change occurred when Campbell’s soup cans and Billo boxes began to inspire artworks; POP ART was appropriation’s precursor and Andy Warhol its godfather.
Like collage, appropriation is simply a technique or a method of working. As such, it is the vehicle for a variety of viewpoints about contemporary society, both celebratory and critical. In perhaps the most extreme instances of recent appropriation, Sherrie Levine rephotographed photographs by Edward Weston and made precisely rendered facsimiles of Piet Mondrian’s watercolors. Her work questions conventional notions of what constitutes a masterpiece, a master, and indeed, art history itself. By choosing to appropriate only the work of male artists, this FEMINIST ARTIST asks viewers to consider the place of women within the art historical canon, and, in the case of Weston’s nude photographs of his young son, to consider whether the gender of the photographer affects how pictures are reviewed.
Jeff Koons, one of the few appropriators working in three dimensions, has his sculpture fabricated in stainless steel or porcelain to replicate giveaway liquor decanters and KITSCH figurines. Other artists such as David Salle and Julian Schnabel use appropriation to create a dense network of images from history, contemporary art, and POPULAR CULTURE. The multilayered, pictorial equivalent of free association, their art frequently defies logical analysis.

Source text - English BOTERO, BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL
As the most famous contemporary Latin American artist, Fernando Botero is best known for his “fat
figures”. He depicts women and men, daily life, historical events, still life, animals and nature with
voluptuous proportions. At the same time, Botero conveys in fine details subtle criticism, irony and
humor.
Inspired by Colombian folklore and history, Botero sees himself as “the most Colombian of
Colombian artists”. His smooth painting style eliminating all traces of brushwork and texture and
his use of vibrant colors are his distinctive trademark. Botero’s sculptures are a natural extension
of his paintings, powerfully focusing on volume and mass yet portraying a delicate lightness and
satirical wit in many of the figures.
Fernando Botero’s works are exhibited worldwide
and are included in private and major museum
collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art
and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Botero’s recognition is also demonstrated by the
prices his works bring: The highest price achieved
at auction for a sculpture (“The Dancers”, 2011) is
US$ 1.76 million while the highest price for a
painting (“Family Scene”, 2010) is US$ 1.7 million.
