Delvaux - Paul Delvaux

Japanese: デルボー - でるぼー(英語表記)Paul Delvaux
Delvaux - Paul Delvaux

Belgian painter. Born in Antibes, near Liège. He studied architecture and then painting at the Royal Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. Influenced by Belgian Expressionism, Italian metaphysical painter De Chirico, and fellow Belgian surrealist Magritte, he established a unique style in the 1930s, especially around 1937, of classical compositions filled with an extraordinary serenity in the style of Ingres, combining nude women with semi-fictional architecture or cities. The nudes were inspired by wax figures at a hygiene museum at a certain trade fair, and the architecture was inspired by images of ancient ruins, modern interiors, and modern cities with trains and stations, but like the nudes, they represent his inner dreams. In 1950 he became a professor at his alma mater, in 1965 he became its principal, and in 1979 he was elected a member of the Royal Academy.

ベルギーの画家。リエージュに近いアンテイトに生まれる。最初建築を、ついで絵画をブリュッセルの王立美術学校に学ぶ。ベルギーの表現主義、イタリア形而上(けいじじょう)絵画のデ・キリコ、同じベルギーのシュルレアリスト、マグリットたちの影響を受け、1930年代、とくに37年前後から、裸婦となかば架空の建築あるいは都市の組合せという、アングル風の異常な静寂さに満ちた古典主義的構図の独特の様式が確立される。裸婦は、ある見本市(いち)の衛生博物館での蝋(ろう)人形から触発されたものであり、建築物は、古代の廃墟(はいきょ)、現代風の室内、電車や駅のある現代都市のイメージから出発しているが、裸婦像と同様、彼の内面的な夢を示している。50年に母校の教授、65年には校長となり、79年、王立アカデミー会員に選ばれた。
