      克莱德港讯——据《纽约时报》报道，美国色面绘画艺术家肯尼思•诺兰德逝世，享年85岁。艺术家的妻子Paige Rense告诉《纽约时报》，肯尼思•诺兰德去世的原因是由于癌症。

      肯尼思•诺兰德出生在北卡罗那，曾在短暂开放过的黑山学院学习艺术，1957年在纽约举办首场展览。作品备受Clement Greenberg和其他形式主义艺术评论家的推崇。

      大多数诺兰德的绘画都可以归为四种类型中的一种，这四种类型分别是：圆圈或者是“靶”状，山形（∧形或∨形），条纹和造型画布（shaped canvases）作品。他对同心圆或者是“靶心”形状做了一系列的研究。诺兰德最初用一系列对称的和不对称的菱形或者是山形（∧形或∨形）开创了造型画布（shaped canvases）作品。在这些绘画当中画布边缘与画布中心有相同的重要性。在20世纪70年代和80年代，他的这种造型画布（shaped canvases）作品变得极为的不规则和不对称。这些导致了由高度精细以及受调节的颜色和表面完整性构成的日益复杂的结构。1964年，诺兰德在威尼斯双年展的美国馆占据了“半壁江山”。1964年，他的作品在华盛顿当代艺术画廊和犹太博物馆展示。

PORT CLYDE, ME.- The New York Times has reported that American color field artist Kenneth Noland has died at the age of 85. The artist's wife, Paige Rense, told the New York Times that the cause of death was cancer.

      Most of Noland's paintings fall into one of four groups: circles, or targets, chevrons, stripes, and shaped canvases. His preoccupation with the relationship of the image to the containing edge of the picture led him to a series of studies of concentric rings, or bull’s-eyes, or as they were known - Targets - like the one reproduced here called Beginning from 1958, using unlikely color combinations. This also led him away from Louis in 1958. Noland pioneered the shaped canvas, initially with a series of symmetrical and asymmetrical diamonds or chevrons. In these paintings, the edges of the canvas become as structurally important as the center. During the 1970s and 1980s his shaped canvases were highly irregular and asymmetrical. These resulted in increasingly complex structures of highly sophisticated and controlled color and surface integrity. In 1964 Noland occupied half the American pavilion at the Venice Biennale. In 1965 his work was exhibited at the Washington Gallery of Modern Art and the Jewish Museum (New York).
