简介

一本插图丰富的图录，通过视觉艺术记录了缅因州著名艺术家目的地蒙赫根岛不断变化的生态。蒙赫根岛拥有崎岖的海岸线、壮丽的教堂森林和质朴的雪松木瓦房屋，是典型的缅因州风貌。这个位于离岸10英里的历史渔村，长期以来一直是艺术家和生态学家的天堂，前者被其壮丽的海景和风景如画的荒野所吸引，后者则为其复杂的自然历史所着迷。本书融合了艺术、科学和历史，通过视觉艺术的呈现，探索了该岛广泛的生态事件——牧场的形成与废弃、森林的恢复以及土地保护的至关重要性。一个多世纪以来，画家、摄影师、版画家和制图师都在观察和描绘这一动态景观。受到罗克韦尔·肯特一幅画作的启发，鲍登学院的生物学家巴里·洛根认识到，该岛的生态可以通过各个时代的艺术描绘来追溯。他与蒙赫根历史学家詹妮弗·派伊和艺术史学家弗兰克·古德伊尔三世合作，从生态学视角对岛上的艺术进行了全新的、前所未有的审视。本书与同名展览同期出版（鲍登学院艺术博物馆，2024年12月-2025年6月；蒙赫根艺术与历史博物馆，2025年7月-9月）。

A richly illustrated catalogue of visual art recording the changing ecology of Monhegan Island, a renowned artist destination off the coast of Maine. With its rugged shoreline, magnificent Cathedral Woods, and rustic cedar-shingled homes, Monhegan Island is quintessential Maine. This historic fishing village situated 10 miles off the coast has long been a haven for artists drawn to the splendor of its ocean vistas and picturesque wildlands and for ecologists fascinated by its complex natural history. Merging art, science, and history, this book explores the broad arc of ecological events on the island—the formation and abandonment of pastureland, forest recovery, and the critical importance of land conservation—through their representation in visual art. Indeed, for well over a century, painters, photographers, printmakers, and cartographers alike have observed and depicted this dynamic landscape. Inspired by a Rockwell Kent painting, biologist Barry Logan recognized that the island's ecology could be traced through its artistic depictions across the ages. This collaboration between Logan and Monhegan historian Jennifer Pye and art historian Frank Goodyear yields a new and unprecedented survey of the art of the island through the lens of ecology. Published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name (Bowdoin College Museum of Art, December 2024-June 2025; Monhegan Museum of Art and History, July-September 2025).
