Untitled - 2004 无题-2 004

M. Brown, Untitled (10/2004), 10-3/4″ x 7-1/8″, Graphite and ink marker on drawing board.布朗， 无题（ 10/2004 ） ， 10-3/4 “ × 7-1/8 ” ，石墨和墨水标记的图板。

An energetic and emotional portrayal of a young man painfully struggling from the mental anguish of a love relationship gone bad, loss of a family member, sibling abuse, etc. The reasons are as varying as they are timeless.一个充满活力和情感的描述一名年轻男子痛苦地挣扎从精神痛苦的爱情经历的关系不好，失去了家庭成员，兄弟姐妹滥用等原因，不同的是，他们是永恒的。 The realistic rendering of the scene intensifies the emotional drama that is both familiar and saddening.现实使现场的情绪加剧，戏剧是既熟悉又难过。 Most of us can identify with the pain of dealing with tragedy seemingly alone, but in retrospect we appreciate the experience as psychological growth and the forming of character.我们大多数人能够识别的疼痛处理的悲剧似乎就有，但事后，我们赞赏经验，心理成长和性格形成的。

I love this passionate depiction of a struggle with strong emotion, and the rich textures and surrounding the artist employed to relate the feeling of desolation and disparity.我喜欢这个热情描绘的强烈斗争的情感，和丰富的纹理和周围的艺术家受雇有关的感觉荒凉和差距。 The subtle texturing of the young man’s back and arms contrast against the bold and confining geometry of the floor and doors.微妙的纹理的年轻人的支持和对武器对比的大胆和围几何地板和门。 Is this an allegorical work depicting man against authoritarianism?这是工作的一个寓言描绘男人对专制？ Is the young man being shut out, or shut in?是年轻男子被关闭，或关闭？ Is it a self-portrait?它是自画像？ That’s the beauty of the visual arts–you can make of it what you wish, unless the artist indicates otherwise through another form of narration.这是美丽的视觉艺术，你可以对你有什么希望，除非另有艺术家通过另一种形式的旁白。

The detail and texturing of this piece are truly impressive when viewed in person.细节和纹理的这片令人印象深刻的是真正当人看待。 The ink marker outlining of the young man’s jeans and the heavy shading of the window blinds guides our eyes to the real sentiment of the composition; a young and fragile mind.墨水标记，概述了年轻人的牛仔裤和沉重的阴影窗口百叶窗指导我们的眼睛的真实情感的成分;一个年轻和脆弱的想法。 I find myself envious of artists that can render such dramatic and graphic emotion with something as simple as a pencil.我发现自己羡慕的艺术家，可以使这种戏剧性的情感和图形东西那样简单一支铅笔。 The knack to visually create is something an artist is born with but it may take time and experience before it surfaces.得法，以视觉创造是一个艺术家是天生，但可能需要时间和经验，收到的表面。 I have no such knack, and that was made clear to me in junior high school when my desire to create and collect art became apparent.我已经没有这样的诀窍，这表明了我初中时，我的愿望创造和收集艺术变得明显。 I was deeply into the old masters and wanted to become an expert on the realistic rendering of my left hand.我深感到老主人，并希望成为专家的现实使我的左手。 I drew that hand in every possible contortion imaginable; fingers bent forward, backward, flighty, mighty and in repose.我提请手在每一个可能的扭想象;手指弯曲着，落后，轻浮，威武之师，在安息。 I perfected crosshatching for shading in different lighting and had digit perspective down pat.俺完善crosshatching的阴影在不同的灯光和角度了两位数的相声。 It was with stratospheric pride that I handed-in my extracurricular handiwork to my art teacher, only to see him quickly dump them into the circular file one day when he thought I wasn’t watching.这是与平流层我自豪地交给在我的课外手工到我的美术老师，只看到他迅速地转储到文件的通知时，有一天他以为我不看。 When I inquired why he treated my work with such disdain, he said there could only be one “A” in the class (?), and that it would go to the naturally talented kid who drew cartoons with flair.当我问他为什么对待我的工作与这种蔑视，他说只能有一个的“ A ”类中（ ？ ） ，这将前往自然天赋的孩子谁提请漫画的风格。 I could hardly object.我几乎对象。 The kid was pretty good at it.这个孩子很不错它。

I continued my artistic endeavors into high school with equal success, but I made a personal agreement that if I couldn’t draw or paint with the same quality of work that I admired, I’d collect it instead.我继续我的艺术事业进入高中平等的成功，但我个人认为，如果我不能提请或油漆与相同质量的工作，我钦佩，我想收集代替。 That’s another way of saying why I do what I do.这是另一种方式说，为什么我做我做。

But, sometimes there’sa downside to collecting art, and this is a good example of it.但是，有时有缺点收集艺术品，这是一个很好的例子，它。 I came across this piece while browsing the Direct from the Artist category on eBay.我发现这片浏览时直接从艺术家类别易趣。 From there you can narrow down your search by selecting a type of art, such as “Drawings,” which is where I found it.从那里你可以缩小您的搜索选择一个类型的艺术，如“图纸” ，这是在我发现它。 It was striking when viewed online, and after a modest winning bid, became a valued addition to my collection.这是惊人的在线浏览时，经过适度中标，成为一个有价值的除了我的收藏。 The only problem is I have no idea who the heck M. Brown is since I can’t find my purchase records!唯一的问题是我不知道谁是赫克布朗是因为我找不到我的购买记录！

eBay is a great resource for discovering new artistic talent.易趣是一个伟大的资源，发现新的艺术才华。 I’ve spent countless hours perusing the art pages and have discovered some real finds, new and old.我花了无数小时仔细的艺术网页，并发现了一些真正的发现，新的和旧的。 And the prices for new and upcoming artists are a bit more realistic than you’ll find in most places.的价格和提供新的和即将到来的艺术家们有点更切合实际比你会发现在大多数地方。 If you find a work you really like and the opening bid is too high in your opinion, make them an offer.如果您找到一份工作你真的很喜欢和底价太高你的意见，使他们的报价。 I’ve also used that to my advantage when an auction goes off unsuccessfully.我也利用这个优势对我国的拍卖时，外出成功。 I’ll write the artist and make a more realistic offer citing their failure to get a bid at their asking price.我会写的艺术家，并作出更切合实际提供援引他们未能获得在其收购的要价。 That usually opens a dialog in which we can come to a more agreeable price.通常打开一个对话框中，我们可以得出一个更合意的价格。 You may think your purchase only amounts to taking a chance on an unknown artist’s future popularity.您可能认为您的购买金额只有采取一个机会对未知艺术家的未来受欢迎。 In reality you are simply purchasing something that delights your senses with the potential to grow with it over time.在现实中你是单纯购买的东西愉悦您感官的潜在增长，但随着时间的推移。 You should NEVER have to grow to like a work of art, unless, of course, it was a gift.您不应该将增长到像一个艺术作品，当然，除非这是一个礼物。

But with all the search tools and the overwhelming variety of art available on eBay, their auction records only go back as far as 60 days.但是，所有的搜索工具和绝大多数各种各样的艺术可以在易趣上，他们的拍卖纪录只有回去就60天。 I know I acquired this piece within the last two years but I have no way of knowing for sure, and a search for M. Brown has turned up nothing.我知道我获得的这片过去两年之内，但我不知道是肯定的，和寻求布朗一直没有出现。 I manually search the drawing category now and then to look for a similar style in hope to locate the artist, but so far that has come up empty.我手动搜索类的绘图现在，然后寻找类似的风格，希望找到艺术家，但迄今为止，已拿出空白。 As a registered member of eBay you have the option of setting up a search that will notify you when your criteria has been met over a period of time. 作为一个注册成员，易趣你可以选择建立一个搜索，将通知您当您的标准已经达到一段时间。 I’ve done that for this artist and hopefully something will come of it soon.我已经这么做了这个艺术家的东西，希望将它尽快。 A Google search for M. Brown turned up everything from Sopranos to photographers, but nothing that remotely resembled this work.阿谷歌搜索布朗拒绝一切来自黑道家族为摄影师，但没有任何远程类似于这方面的工作。 That’sa shame because I truly believe this artist should have their own eBay Store, or at least a listing on some artist community site (there are literally millions of them).这是一个遗憾，因为我真的相信这艺术家应该有自己的店铺，或至少是对一些上市艺术家社区网站 （还有数百万人） 。

You may think a piece of art without an identity is as worthless as an orchid without a tag, but that’s simply not true.您可能会认为一件艺术品的身份是毫无价值的兰花没有标签，但这是不正确的。 Look in any major art gallery and you will find several masterpieces by an Unknown artist hanging on the walls right next to the Raphael’s and the Tintoretto’s.看在任何重大的画廊，你会发现一些名家未知艺术家挂在墙壁旁边的拉斐尔和丁托列托的。 This piece is signed and dated by the artist, but like many art works it may simply end up as a transient moment of creativity relegated to the same nicotine-stained walls as those unidentifiable old paintings hanging in back alley antique stores around the world.这件是签名和日期由艺术家，但像许多艺术作品可能最终只是作为一个短暂的时刻创造力降级相同的尼古丁染墙上那些查证古画挂在小巷回到古董店世界各地。 Then again, great art speaks for itself (but it is nice knowing from whom it came).再说，伟大的艺术不言自明的（但它是很好的人知道它） 。

What’s the moral of this story?什么是道德这个故事？ Save everything related to an art purchase, and store it in a location you’ll be able to find again!保存有关的一切艺术购买，并将其存储在一个位置就可以找到了！
