雅培·汉德森·塞耶 (Abbott Handerson Thayer)作品《Angel》赏析
关于作品雅培·汉德森·塞耶 (Abbott Handerson Thayer) 的空灵天使、妇女和儿童肖像、风景画和精美的花卉画如今广为人知。 Angel 既是他 11 岁女儿玛丽的肖像，也是希望和灵性的寓言。 Thayer 用扫帚、刮刀、他的手指甚至油漆管操纵油漆来达到他的效果。
Abbott Handerson Thayer is recognized today for his ethereal angels, portraits of woman and children, landscapes, and delicate flower paintings. Angel is both a portrait of his daughter Mary at age eleven and an allegory of hope and spirituality. Thayer manipulated the paint with brooms, scrapers, his fingers, and even a paint tube to achieve his effects.

As a painter of portraits, figures, animals and landscapes, he enjoyed a certain prominence during his lifetime, and his paintings are represented in the major American art collections. He is perhaps best known for his 'angel' paintings, some of which use his children as models.
A Virgin (1892–93)
在他生命的最后三分之一期间，他与儿子 Gerald Handerson Thayer 一起编写了一本关于自然界保护色的书，名为《动物王国中的隐藏色》。麦克米伦于 1909 年首次出版，然后于 1918 年重新发行，它可能对第一次世界大战期间的军事伪装产生了影响。然而，它被西奥多·罗斯福等人严厉嘲笑，因为它假设所有动物的颜色都是神秘的。
During the last third of his life, he worked together with his son, Gerald Handerson Thayer, on a book about protective coloration in nature, titled Concealing-Coloration in the Animal Kingdom. First published by Macmillan in 1909, then reissued in 1918, it may have had an effect on military camouflage during World War I. However it was roundly mocked by Theodore Roosevelt and others for its assumption that all animal coloration is cryptic.
