美籍华裔艺术家朱沅芷
||
朱沅芷（1906 年 2 月 22 日 - 1963 年 6 月 5 日）是第一位在西方当代艺术史上占有重要地位的美籍华裔艺术家。
他被认为是伟大的现代主义前卫画家之一，并拥有许多其他“第一”：他是第一位受邀加入独立艺术家协会的中国艺术家；
第一位在国际上展示其作品的中国艺术家；第一位在纽约现代艺术博物馆举办展览的中国艺术家；以及第一位在巴黎沙龙
展出作品的中国艺术家。他的艺术经常通过形式、风格或主题来参考他的中国传统。他还发展了自己的标志性风格——钻石主义，
该风格源自立体主义，并通过他的艺术、写作和教学来推广它。从 1942 年到 1963 年去世，朱沅芷一直在东十街 51 号生活和工作。
同样在 1942 年，他与海伦·维默 (Helen Wimmer) 结婚，后者开设了美国第一家专注于摄影的商业画廊：位于南七大道 91 号的
Limelight 摄影画廊（更多信息请参阅格林威治村历史街区的“变革女性”之旅：过去和现在的照片和旅游地图）。
Yun Gee, 51 East 10th Street
Artist, poet, philanthropist, teacher, writer, and inventor Yun Gee (February 22, 1906 — June 5, 1963) was the first Chinese-American artist to hold an important position in the history of Western contemporary art. Considered one of the great modernist avant-garde painters, Gee enjoys a number of other “firsts”: he was the first Chinese-born artist invited to join the Société des Artistes Indépendants; the first Chinese artist to display his work internationally; the first Chinese artist to show at MoMa; and the first Chinese artist to show in the salons of Paris. His art made frequent reference to his Chinese heritage either through form, style, or subject matter. He also developed his own signature style, Diamondism, which was derived from Cubism, and he promoted it through his art, writings, and teachings. From 1942 until his death in 1963, Gee lived and worked at 51 East 10th Street. Also in 1942, he married Helen Wimmer, who opened the country’s first commercial gallery focused on photography: Limelight photography gallery at 91 Seventh Avenue South (learn more in the “Transformative Women” tour of the Greenwich Village Historic District: Then & Now Photos and Tours map).
