Seine Bilder im Kunstpavillon ...

In den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika schuf Professor Stuart Diamond  für "Licht" ein Bild der Dimension 240 x 180 cm in Acryl auf  Leinen, für "Schatten" 220x160 cm. Das größere Bild mit dem Titel  „ Shadowed Past“  hat er nach seiner Aussage unter Zeitdruck gemalt ( die Künstler waren nur drei Wochen vor Ort), weil er sich zuerst mit der Seele der Menschen und der Region vertraut machen musste.

In diesem Gemälde hält er die Vorurteile und Beleidigungen gegenüber dem „Waldler“, aber auch die Furcht der „überschatteten Vergangenheit“, bedingt durch die Nachbarschaft zum ehemaligen  „Eisernen Vorhang“ fest.

Nachdem er sich aber abstrakt mit den hochgesteckten Ideen und Zielen auseinandergesetzt hatte, war er der Meinung, dass die Erleuchtung von den Höhen herunterkommen muss, um sich mit dem Boden zu vereinen. Für dieses Licht-Bild „ Falling Light With Potatoes“ hat er seinen eigenen Mal-Code, seine Symbolik und Metaphern, in dunkleren Farbtönen dargestellt.

Die ungewöhnliche Raumaufteilung dieses Gemäldes ist ebenfalls eine Metapher für die Furcht und Schwierigkeiten, die auftreten, wenn wir Veränderungen in unserem Leben akzeptieren und für das Vertrauen, das wir benötigen, uns auf Neues einzulassen.

BIOGRAPHY

Stuart Diamond is an American artist best known for ambitiously scaled painted wood constructions. He has had 10 solo shows in the United States, and has exhibited extensively in France, Germany and China. Together with Eliot Lable and Michael Walls he organized the landmark “Constructs: 55 Artists” show in 1978 at the Bleecker Street Renaissance Building, which featured work by Frank Stella, Linda Benglis and Ralph Humphrey among others.

He is represented in numerous collections including MoMA, New York, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, and the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art in Gainsville. In 2005 he was one of 4 international artists chosen to create works on the theme of the cold war for a 50-year exhibition in Eschlkam, Germany, near the border of the Czech Republic.

He is the recipient of several awards including two NEA grants (1980 and 1983) and a Guggenheim Travelling Scholarship (1987). His work has been reviewed by the critics John Yau and Roberta Smith and he is featured in Chapter 7 of The Pluralist Era: American Art 1968 – 1981 by Corinne Robins.

He received his BFA in painting from Pratt Institute where he studied with Richard Linder and Stephen Greene.

He taught for twelve years at Columbia University and Cooper Union, and for 35 years at Parsons School of Design. He is currently Professor of Painting and former Department Chair at Massachusetts College of Art and
