アーティストの略歴
Carroll Cloar: A Visionary of Southern Surrealism
Carroll Cloar (1913 – 1993) emerged as a distinctive voice in American painting during the mid-century, crafting landscapes imbued with dreamlike qualities and capturing fleeting moments of childhood nostalgia. Born in Earle, Arkansas, Cloar’s artistic journey began with an early fascination for photography—specifically, old family albums—which served as crucial inspiration for his evocative imagery. These photographs became a cornerstone of his creative process, prompting him to revisit familiar places and reconstruct memories through the lens of surrealism. Cloar's distinctive style was characterized by pointillism, a technique he honed during his studies at Southwestern College Memphis (later Rhodes College) and the Art Students League of New York. This meticulous method involved applying tiny dots of color—often muted hues—to build up an image, resulting in luminous surfaces that shimmered with subtle variations of light and shade. As Guy Northrop eloquently described in “Hostile Butterflies and Other Paintings by Carroll Cloar,” Cloar aimed to portray "american faces, timeless dress and timeless customs ... the last of old america that isn't long for this earth." This ambition reflected a profound engagement with American identity and a poignant awareness of its inevitable decline. His artistic explorations extended beyond Arkansas landscapes; Cloar undertook extensive travels throughout Europe and Latin America, fueled by Guggenheim fellowships and supported by a MacArthur Grant in 1978. These journeys profoundly impacted his worldview and informed the themes that permeated his oeuvre—particularly the concept of “homecoming,” which he considered central to understanding beauty. He believed that true appreciation for a place stemmed from experiencing it initially as someone who had left it behind, returning with renewed perspective. This personal experience resonated deeply in his paintings, where figures often appear amidst landscapes reminiscent of childhood memories. Cloar’s artistic output spanned over seven decades and encompassed approximately 800 works—a testament to his unwavering dedication to his craft. Notable pieces include “Alien Child” (1955), a haunting depiction of a family confronting an abyss rendered in a naive style, and "Day Remembered," which captures the melancholic beauty of twilight landscapes. His lithographs documenting the scenery and people of Earle, Arkansas, garnered critical acclaim and solidified his reputation as a masterful interpreter of Southern American culture. Cloar’s legacy resides not only in his artistic achievements but also in his contribution to Surrealist painting—a movement that sought to liberate imagination from rational constraints. He skillfully blended elements of Luminism with surrealist sensibilities, creating images that were both luminous and dreamlike, reflecting a deep connection to the natural world and an enduring fascination with human experience. Carroll Cloar remains a singular figure in American art history, remembered for his poetic vision and his unwavering commitment to capturing the essence of memory and place.carroll cloar
