在1946年的这幅著名的漫画中，艾德·莱因哈特试图用美国语境中的历史和内在冲突来概括艺术现代主义的本质。现代艺术的树有其深厚的历史渊源——希腊人在这里，波斯人的缩影和日式印记也是如此。根代表后印象派的四大支柱：文森特、George Seurat、Paul Cezanne和保罗·高更。这棵树背负着“主题”和“作为艺术赞助人的商业”的重量，而中的则嘲笑了代表与抽象之间永恒的争论。通过将商业和艺术并列，莱因哈特恰当地评论了美国先锋派的状况。在美国，公众，更重要的是，赞助人对抽象艺术颇有偏见，经常称之为“堕落”和“颠覆”。

Title:How to Look at Modern Art

artist:Ad Reinhardt

Date:1946

Style:Expressionism

Genre:caricature

In this famous cartoon of 1946 Ad Reinhardt tried to encapsulate the essence of the artistic modernism with its history and inherent conflicts within the American context. The tree of modern art has its roots deep in history - the Greeks are here, and so are Persian miniatures and Japanese prints. The roots represent the four pillars of Post-Impressionism: Vincent Van Gogh, George Seurat, Paul Cezanne, and Paul Gauguin. The tree is burdened by the weights of subject matter and business as art patron, and a cartoon within the cartoon mocks the perpetual debate of representation versus abstraction. By juxtaposing business and art, Reinhardt aptly comments on the situation of the avant-garde in the United States, where the public and, more importantly, the patrons were rather biased against the abstract art, often calling it degenerate and subversive.
