The People's Painter: How Ben Shahn Fought for Justice with Art

內容簡介

內容簡介 用藝術捍衛公平、正義的畫家：Ben Shahn「我有記憶以來rn的第一件事，就是畫畫。」Ben Shahn班·夏恩說。猶太籍的Ben Shahn生於立陶宛，求學時期，老師看到他的畫畫天分，送他水彩，更有另一位老師，出錢讓他學英文的硬筆書法，他喜歡草寫的優雅風格，立志成為藝術家的種子在心裡萌芽。Ben Shahn的爸爸致力於公民與人權運動，後被沙皇驅逐，小小的Ben Shahn，因而有了公平正義的觀念。當Ben Shahn一家搬去美國，接觸自由空氣時，決定要以藝術表達和尋求解決自己的際遇：包含同學的種族霸凌﹙在新學校，有同學因為Ben的口音、穿著，甚至，只是因他是猶太人，就霸凌他。不過，這群惡霸有在看Ben畫肖像畫時會停下來…﹚、老師無視於他的意願，硬要他畫風景畫；之後，Ben更敦促美國政府通過大蕭條時期的法律，幫助失業的人民找食物和工作。"
