简介
抽象绘画与神智学灵性在1930年代新墨西哥州的相遇——关于美国现代主义中一个激进且惊人前瞻性篇章的首部著作。1938年，正值社会现实主义在美国艺术界占据主导地位之时，一群艺术家在新墨西哥州的圣达菲和陶斯成立了超越绘画团体（Transcendental Painting Group），旨在追求以灵性启迪为目标的抽象艺术。该团体由Emil Bisttram、Robert Gribbroek、Lawren Harris、Raymond Jonson、William Lumpkins、Florence Miller Pierce、Agnes Pelton、Horace Towner Pierce和Stuart Walker九位创始成员组成，后期Ed Garman加入。尽管作品质量上乘，这些美国西南部的艺术家在主流艺术史调查中却长期被忽视，其作品很少在新墨西哥州以外展出。面临着作为密西西比河以西公开精神性运动的双重不利条件，超越绘画团体一直是一个只为少数鉴赏家所知的秘密。
《另一个世界》旨在纠正这一忽视，将该团体的艺术家确立为20世纪抽象艺术替代性脉络的关键贡献者，其价值在今天具有新的相关性。本书提供了对该团体工作的广阔视角，将其置于现代绘画史和20世纪美国艺术的语境中。专文从国际艺术同侪的视角审视该团体、其与秘传思想和神智学的关联、美国西南部文化与景观中的源头，以及其两位女性成员的经历。

Abstract painting meets theosophical spirituality in 1930s New Mexico: the first book on a radical, astonishingly prescient episode in American modernism. Published with Crocker Art Museum. Founded in Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico, in 1938, at a time when social realism reigned in American art, the Transcendental Painting Group (TPG) sought to promote abstract art that pursued enlightenment and spiritual illumination. Despite the quality of their works, these Southwest artists have been neglected in most surveys of American art, their paintings rarely exhibited outside of New Mexico. Faced with the double disadvantage of being an openly spiritual movement from the wrong side of the Mississippi, the TPG has remained a secret mostly known only to cognoscenti. Another World aims to address this slight, claiming the group's artists as crucial contributors to an alternative through-line in 20th-century abstraction, one with renewed relevance today. This volume provides a broad perspective on the group's work, positioning it within the history of modern painting and 20th-century American art. Essays examine the TPG in light of their international artistic peers; their involvement with esoteric thought and Theosophy; the group's sources in the culture and landscape of the American Southwest; and the experience of its two female members.
