深入探索雕塑家露易丝·内维尔森的生活与工作，结合社会运动、旅行以及她在舞蹈和戏剧领域的经历，重新诠释了她的艺术

 

露易丝·内维尔森（1899-1988）以其宏伟的木制壁饰和户外雕塑而闻名，是二十世纪美国艺术界的一位杰出人物。《世纪中叶的外部世界：露易丝·内维尔森》一书为我们呈现了一个更为细腻的内维尔森形象。书中讨论了内维尔森早期与现代舞蹈的渊源以及后来对前卫戏剧的沉浸，这为我们理解她的绘画和雕塑作品带来了新的视角。首次重新解读了她20世纪50年代初前往墨西哥和危地马拉的旅行经历，揭示了殖民时期的考古学如何几十年来一直萦绕在她的视觉语言中。

 

书中还揭示了内维尔森生活中其他鲜为人知的方面——她对民间艺术、建筑和古董家具的兴趣，这引发了一场关于艺术家如何处理美国过去物质文化的讨论。对内维尔森在塔马林德石板画工作室的版画创作经历的开创性研究，揭示了她是如何通过非常规的方法和材料创造出另类的观看方式的。本书还从环境保护运动的视角重新审视了内维尔森的作品。此外，三位当代艺术家讲述了内维尔森在他们职业生涯和生活中的作用，一位当地专家描述了她的根源以及与缅因州的关系，艺术家的孙女则分享了对内维尔森精神世界的看法。

 

A deep dive into the life and work of sculptor Louise Nevelson recontextualizes her art in light of social movements, travel, and her experiences in dance and theater

 

Known for her monumental wooden wall pieces and outdoor sculptures, Louise Nevelson (1899–1988) was a towering figure in twentieth-century American art. A more nuanced picture of Nevelson emerges in The World Outside: Louise Nevelson at Midcentury. Discussions about Nevelson’s early involvement with modern dance and subsequent immersion in avant-garde theater bring new understandings of her drawings and sculptures. A reframing of her travels to Mexico and Guatemala in the early 1950s demonstrates, for the first time, how colonial archaeology haunted her visual language for decades.

 

Other little-known facets of Nevelson’s life—her interest in folk art, architecture, and period furniture—open up a conversation about the artist’s approach to America’s past material culture. A pioneering examination of Nevelson’s printmaking experiences at Tamarind Lithography Workshop reveals how the artist created alternative modes of viewing through unconventional methods and materials. The book also reconsiders Nevelson’s work in the context of the environmental movement. Additionally, three contemporary artists relate Nevelson’s role in their careers and lives, a local expert describes her roots and relationship to Maine, and the artist’s granddaughter shares thoughts on Nevelson’s spirituality.
