Peter Krausz (born 1946) is a Romanian-born Canadian artist. Throughout his career, he worked within the fields of painting, drawing, installation, and photography and, since 1970, exhibited in museums and galleries across Canada, the United States, and Europe.〔Kirkman, Terry A. "Five new Canadians held a summer showing." ''Montreal Star'', 1970. Print.〕 He is best known for large-scale landscape paintings of the Mediterranean. Krausz's landscapes, described as "spaces halfway between the real and the imaginary",〔 convey man's interrelationship with nature.〔Forum Gallery. "Peter Krausz: (No) Man's Land." ''ArtSlant''. (Web. )〕 Identified by translucent, egg-tempera color and ''secco'' technique, in a review of the ''(No) Man's Land'' exhibition at Forum Gallery, Los Angeles, ''ARTnews'' critic Richard Chang noted, "a luminosity that captured crisp light and clean shadows spreading across the island."〔Chang, Richard. "Peter Krausz, Forum Los Angeles." ''ARTnews''. Apr 2009. 116. Print.〕 Born in Brașov, Romania, in 1946,〔"Peter Krausz." ''Art-History Concordia''. (Web. )〕 Krausz pursued art encouraged by his parents, artist and art-educator Tiberiu Krausz, and Judith Krausz, an art historian.〔"Peter Krausz No Man's Land." Documentary by Doina Harap. 2009. Video.〕 From 1964 to 1969, he studied drawing, painting and mural techniques at the Nicolae Grigorescu Fine Arts Institute in Bucharest.〔"Bio." ''Peter Krausz'' (Web. )〕〔"New Show at MBAS: Peter Krausz, 2003-2013: un survol." ''Township Heritage Web Magazine''. 13 Sep 2013. (Web. )〕 In 1969 Krausz and his parents fled Communist Romania through Czechoslovakia and Austria into Italy.〔Castle, Frederick Ted. "Peter Krausz at 49th Parallel." ''Art in America''. Sep 1991. 138. Print.〕 Described as a "flight toward the unknown" and "escape across a Cold-War border", this event inspired the ''Berlin Series'' (1988) and ''(No) Man's Land'' series (2009-2014).〔"Peter Krausz, 2003-2013: un survol." ''Musee des beaux-arts de Sherbrooke. (Web. )〕〔 After a year in Rome, Krausz and his family emigrated to Montreal, Canada, in 1970. He exhibited there that same year, and solo exhibitions of his work were held at Galerie Malborough-Godard in 1976 and at Galerie Theo Waddington in 1979.〔 From 1980 to 1990, Krausz was curator of the Saidye Bronfman Centre Art Gallery and taught in the Fine Arts Department of Concordia University.〔 In 1991, he joined the faculty of the Université de Montréal, and is a tenured Professor of Fine Art in the Art History and Cinema Studies Department.〔 ==Career highlights== In 1984, Krausz participated in the important exhibitions ''Montréal tout-terrain'', and ''Vent et eau'' at the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, organized by Centre international d'art contemporain de Montréal (CIAC).〔"Peter Krausz." ''CIAC-Centre international d'art contemporain de Montréal''. (Web. )〕 Solo exhibitions of his work held at the Montreal artist-run galleries Optica〔Sabbath, Lawrence. "Peter Krausz." ''The Gazette (Montreal).'' 13 Apr 1985. Print.〕 and Articule,〔Moore, David. "Peter Krausz at Articule." ''Vanguard (Montreal).'' Apr-May 1987. Print.〕 drew favorable press. In 1987 at the CIAC's exhibition ''Stations'', Krausz exhibited an installation and 70-foot drawing ''Archipelago'', inspired by Varlam Shalamov’s memoire of 22-years of forced labor in the Soviet Gulag ''Kolyma''.〔Campbell, James D. ‘‘Stations’’. Montreal: CIAC, 1987. 98-100. Print.〕 In 1989 this installation and the ''Berlin Series'' which referenced the construction of the Berlin Wall,〔Duncan, Ann. ‘’Looking behind Berlin’s infamous wall: Peter Krausz at Galerie J.Yahouda Meir." ‘‘The Gazette (Montreal)’’. 28 May 1988. Print.〕 were exhibited in a solo show at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa, Ontario.〔"Campbell, James D. ''Peter Krausz Sites 1984-1989.'' Oshawa, Ontario: Robert McLaughlin Gallery. 1989. 47. Print.〕 In 1991, Krausz’s solo exhibition, ''Journeys'' at 49th Parallel Gallery in New York, was reviewed favorably by Frederick Ted Castle in ''Art in America''.〔 This exhibition included the 14-painting series ''Night Train'', inspired by Claude Lanzmann's documentary ''Shoah'', now in the collection of the Jewish Museum (Manhattan).〔Fortin, Jocelyne. "Landscape According to Peter Krausz." ''Le paysage selon Peter Krausz.'' Montreal: Musée Régional de Rimouski, 2004. 40. Print. ISBN 2920367846〕 In 1992 Krausz’s installation ''Traces-mémoire'' was exhibited at the Centre d’art contemporain in Montpellier, France. Also exhibited in Montreal, the installation consisted of 250 lead panels, each etched with a name of a French town and date, from 535 to 1990, associated with an anti-Semitic event.〔Fortin, Jocelyne. "Landscape According to Peter Krausz." ''Le paysage selon Peter Krausz.'' Montreal: Musée Régional de Rimouski, 2004. 48. Print. ISBN 2920367846〕 Following the collapse of the Berlin Wall and Eastern Block, Krausz turned to landscape.〔 To protest the destruction of the natural world, he chose as subject the Mediterranean, it's beauty and harmonious relationship between man and nature.〔 By the time of his ''Landscape and Memory'' series (1996-1998), Krausz's signature style of rich, vibrant colors using a unique ''secco'' technique was evident.〔Fortin, Jocelyne. "Landscape According to Peter Krausz." ''Le paysage selon Peter Krausz.'' Montreal: Musée Régional de Rimouski, 2004. 42. Print. ISBN 2920367846〕 Solo exhibitions held at the Musée d’art de Joliette in 1990, and a subsequent series ''The Song of the Earth'', exhibited in 2004 at the Musée Régional de Rimouski, established Krausz’s critical reputation.〔 From 2009 to 2014, the series ''(No) Man's Land'', which contrasted the beauty of Cyprus with a "no man's land" zone between the Greek and Turkish communities was exhibited at the Maison de la Culture Côte-des-Neiges (Montreal) and at the Ottawa School of Art (Orleans ON).〔Chantoury-Lacombe, Florence. ''(No) Man's Land''. Montreal. 2010. 13. Print.〕 Paintings in this series were also exhibited in solo shows at Forum Gallery (New York and Los Angeles), Galerie de Bellefeuille (Montreal), and Gallery Jones (Vancouver).〔"Bio-CV." ''Peter Krausz'' (Web. )〕 Krausz also exhibited large-scale drawings including portraits at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in 2013, and in Toronto at Mira Godard Gallery in 2012 and 2015, and John B. Aird Gallery in 2015.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Krausz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
