“海曼惊人地坚持不懈、才华横溢、苦行僧——越来越多的人说他是美国**的画家，他确实是。”罗伯特•洛威尔

这本重要的书,**,介绍了的传统美学和神秘主义探索者William Blake, Albert Pinkham Ryder and Odilon Redon, 用他自己的话来说，他努力争取着那一刻,“情绪是那样强烈。海曼布鲁姆的作品受到犹太传统(他在自己的画作上把自己的印象描述为“心在哭泣”)和东方宗教的影响，触及了20世纪文化和艺术的许多主题:身体、它的内在与短暂、抽象和精神神秘主义。布鲁姆受到当时艺术界的领军人物的赞赏，其中包括阿尔弗雷德•h•巴尔(Alfred H. Barr Jr.)和多萝西•米勒(Dorothy Miller Jr.);杰克逊•波洛克(Jackson Pollock)和威廉•德•库宁(Willem de Kooning)称赞他是“**位抽象表现主义画家”。诗人罗伯特•洛厄尔(Robert Lowell)在写给伊丽莎白•毕晓普(Elizabeth Bishop)的一封信中称赞布卢姆，“海曼惊人地坚持不懈、才华横溢、苦行僧般的性格——越来越多的人说他是美国**的画家，他确实是。”这本书的插图包括10幅此前未出版的杰作，以及一些人物的图片，其力度和挑衅性不亚于弗朗西斯培根(Francis Bacon)曾与之一起展出的画作。

海曼•布鲁姆(1913-2009)生于立陶宛，现居拉脱维亚。1920年，为了躲避反犹太迫害，他和家人移民到美国。他在波士顿地区生活和工作，直到去世。他的作品被许多公共收藏，包括现代艺术博物馆，美术博物馆，波士顿，惠特尼美国艺术博物馆等。

“Hyman is awesomely consistent, brilliant, ascetic―more and more people say he is the best painter in America, and so he is.” –Robert Lowell
This important publication, the first of its kind, presents the paintings and drawings of an aesthetic and mystical searcher in the tradition of William Blake, Albert Pinkham Ryder and Odilon Redon, who strove for the moment when, in his own words, “the mood is as intense as it can be made.” Hyman Bloom’s work, influenced by his Jewish heritage (whose impression on his painting he described as a “weeping of the heart”) and Eastern religions, touches on many of the themes of 20th-century culture and art: the body, its immanence and transience, abstraction and spiritual mysticism. Bloom was admired by leading figures in the art world of his time, including Alfred H. Barr Jr. and Dorothy Miller; Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning hailed him as “the first Abstract Expressionist.” The poet Robert Lowell praised Bloom, writing in a letter to Elizabeth Bishop, “Hyman is awesomely consistent, brilliant, ascetic―more and more people say he is the best painter in America, and so he is.” The book’s illustrations include ten previously unpublished masterworks, plus images of the figure as powerful and provocative as the paintings by Francis Bacon that were once exhibited alongside them.
Hyman Bloom (1913–2009) was born in Lithuania, now Latvia. He and his family immigrated to the United States in 1920, escaping anti-Semitic persecution. He lived and worked in the Boston area until his death. His work is held in many public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Whitney Museum of American Art and others.
