中文简介：

英国画家Henry Scott Tuke（1858-1929）在维多利亚时代后期和爱德华时代的黄金时期以描绘太阳、海洋和航海而闻名，他是一个耐人寻味的艺术反常人物。Tuke在以康沃尔为基地的艺术家殖民地和伦敦艺术界之间游走，从风格上看，他融合了进步的褶皱画、松散的印象派处理和生动的调色板，但从根本上说，他是一个描绘裸体男性青年的学术画家。尽管他的一生都很成功，但在两次世界大战之后，Tuke对游泳男孩的描绘似乎代表了一个过时的时代。这项意义深远的研究以维多利亚时代和爱德华时代艺术界的知名人士的新研究为特色。文章探讨了广泛的艺术影响、实验性艺术实践和不同的接收历史等问题。Tuke对青春期男性裸体的反复描绘，引发了关于身体，尤其是年轻身体，在当时和现在的描绘、展览和接受的挑战性问题。

Famed for his depictions of sun, sea, and sailing during a late Victorian and Edwardian golden age, the British painter Henry Scott Tuke RA (1858–1929) is an intriguing artistic anomaly. Moving between Cornish-based artist colonies and the London art scene, stylistically Tuke presents a fusion of progressive plein airisme, loose impressionistic handling, and a vivid palette, and yet he was fundamentally an academic painter of exhibition nudes. Though consistently successful throughout his lifetime, in the wake of two world wars Tuke's depictions of bathing boys came to represent a seemingly outmoded epoch. This far-reaching study features new research from leading authorities on Victorian and Edwardian art. Essays tackle questions of wide-ranging artistic influences, experimental art practice, and a varied reception history. Tuke's repeated portrayal of adolescent male nudes provokes challenging questions about the depiction, exhibition, and reception of the body—especially the young body—both then and now.
