摘要

作家兼诗人查尔斯-卡梅尔(Charles Cammell,1890-1968 年)称,阿莱斯特-克劳利(1875-1947 年)相信,通过他的影响和指导,可以显著提高艺术家的新生能力。克劳利为莱拉-瓦德尔(1880-1932 年)的音乐成就、维克多-纽伯格(1883-1940 年)的诗歌创作以及弗里达-哈里斯夫人(女,布洛克萨姆,1877-1962 年)的艺术才能取得了成功。1938 年,克劳利邀请哈里斯为他最后一部重要魔法著作《托特之书》绘制插图,并指定她为 "艺术家执行人"。他们的合作远远超出了《托斯塔罗牌》绘画的要求:哈里斯不仅成为了克劳力的魔法学生,他们还建立了深厚而持久的友谊,这种友谊一直持续到克劳力生命的最后一刻。作为一名艺术家,哈里斯已经取得了一定的成功,但克劳利向她展示了如何在绘画中表达深奥的概念,从而创造出 "全新的艺术"(哈里斯致克劳利的信,1940 年 12 月 10 日)。哈里斯与克劳力的通信表明,她热切地接受了他的指导,决心按照他的设想表现塔罗牌图像。与此同时,她将同样的技巧运用到自己的作品中,并意识到艺术才是她精神之路的真正基础。本文将利用克劳利与哈里斯的通信摘录、克劳利的日记条目以及哈里斯的艺术作品实例,论证在弗里达-哈里斯的案例中,克劳利确实激发了她初生的艺术技能,并在此过程中使她能够展现塔罗牌的设计,而他自己也承认,"任何一张牌都是我从未想过的东西"(克劳利致哈里斯的信,1939 年 1 月 25 日)。

‘Something Completely New in Art’: Aleister Crowley’s Influence on Frieda Harris’s Artistic Development

According to writer and poet Charles Cammell (1890–1968), Aleister Crowley (1875–1947) believed that through his influence and guidance, he could significantly improve an artist’s nascent abilities. Crowley claimed success for the musical achievements of Leila Waddell (1880–1932), the poetry of Victor Neuburg (1883–1940) and the artistic talents of Frieda, Lady Harris, née Bloxam (1877–1962). In 1938, Crowley invited Harris to illustrate The Book of Thoth, his last major magical work, designating her “artist executant.” Their partnership extended far beyond the requirements of the Thoth Tarot paintings: not only did Harris become Crowley’s magical pupil; they formed a strong and enduring friendship that lasted to the end of Crowley’s life. Harris had already achieved moderate success as an artist, but Crowley showed her how she could express esoteric concepts in her paintings, thereby creating “something completely new in art” (Harris to Crowley, Letter, 10 December 1940). Harris’s correspondence with Crowley shows that she eagerly embraced his guidance, determined to manifest the Tarot images in accordance with his vision. At the same time, she applied the same techniques to her own works and came to the realisation that art was the true basis of her spiritual path. Using extracts from Crowley’s and Harris’s correspondence, Crowley’s diary entries, and examples of Harris’s artwork, this article will argue that in the case of Frieda Harris, Crowley did indeed draw out her nascent artistic skills, and in doing so, enabled her to manifest Tarot designs, which on his own admission, “any given card is something beyond anything I had ever contemplated” (Crowley to Harris, Letter, 25 January 1939).
