This essay discusses the influence of a medical training on the art practice of one of the seminal thinkers and art practitioners of the 20th century, Brian O'Doherty. Using selected artworks like the 'Portrait of Marcel Duchamp' (1966) that uses an electrocardiographic tracing of the older artist's heart, it demonstrates this link. However, in this artist's hands, the work moves beyond this link to challenge a number of conventions within art itself.
本文探讨了医学训练对20世纪一位重要思想家兼艺术从业者布赖恩·奥多尔蒂艺术实践的影响。通过选用如《马塞尔·杜尚肖像》(1966年)这类使用了这位年长艺术家心电图描记的艺术作品,文章展现了这种联系。然而,在这位艺术家的创作中,作品超越了这种联系,对艺术本身的一些传统观念发起了挑战。
