鲁本·卡迪什(Reuben Kadish)的艺术否认这样一种观念,即自我表现和社会责任感是相悖逆的。在本世纪三十年代的加利福尼亚,画家开始了他的创作,当时他是一位在社会上非常活跃的画家、壁画家,同时也是墨西哥画家西盖罗斯(David Alfaro Siqueiros)的学生。他以一种历史的觉悟,反对当代的种族歧视和压迫。他在墨西哥莫雷利亚(Morelia)所作的壁画中所表现的蒙面形象可能是中世纪西班牙的宗教裁判官,也可以被看作是现代美国三K党种族主义的恐怖分子。作为一种象征,它是超越时代的。 Reuben Kadish’s art deny the idea that self-expression and social responsibility are counter-productive. In California in the 1930s, the artist began his work when he was a very active painter and muralist in the community and a student of the Mexican painter David Alfaro Siqueiros. With a kind of historical awareness, he opposed contemporary racism and oppression. The masked image he showed in the frescoes of Morelia, Mexico, may be Medieval Spain’s Inquisition, or as a terrorist to the modern U.S. Kuomintang Kuracan racism. As a symbol, it is beyond the age.
