本书伴随尼古拉斯·尼克松（1947年生于底特律）的大型回顾展出版，收录约200幅摄影作品。尼克松在过去数十年间创造了极具力量且充满个人特质的摄影创作体系。

 

他的艺术表达充满诗意，具有鲜明独特的原创性，既不受当代艺术潮流影响，又与现实生活紧密相连。他回归"艺术可作为可被理解、分享和铭记的叙述"这一理念，通过建立反思性对话，创作出能触动观者心绪、激发渴望、促人思考并带来转变的作品。因此，尼克松的摄影可被归类于关注社会议题的纪实摄影传统。与此同时，他的作品卓越地展现了如何运用传统摄影工具——大画幅相机、黑白胶片和接触印相工艺——开拓前所未有的艺术疆域。

 

本书按时间顺序呈现艺术家最重要的系列作品，并以持续创作40年的知名《布朗姐妹》组照作为压轴之作。

 

This book accompanies a comprehensive retrospective based on around 200 photographs by Nicholas Nixon (b. 1947 in Detroit), who has produced one of the most powerful and personal photographic oeuvres of the past few decades.

 

Nixon expresses himself in a poetic voice that is unmistakeable and profoundly original, unaffected by the pressure of contemporary artistic movements and closely connected to reality and life. He returns to the idea of art as an account that can be understood, shared and remembered, establishing a reflexive dialogue and creating a body of work that can trouble us, arouse desires, encourage thought, and transform us. Nixon’s photographs can thus be associated with the tradition of documentary photography with a social focus. At the same time, Nixon’s work offers a remarkable demonstration of how the traditional tools of photography – a large-format camera, black and white film and contact sheets – can be used to venture into previously unexplored artistic territories.

 

The book offers a chronological survey based on the artist’s most important series, concluding with the well-known group of the Brown Sisters that he has created over the past 40 years.
