内容简介

获奖艺术家、作家和博物学家詹姆斯·波塞克(生于1975年)因其与自然世界的深刻联系而赢得了全世界的关注，这是他的艺术和众多畅销书的基础。

在这个跨学科的目录中，波塞克提出了一个问题，什么是艺术，什么是艺术品——以及这些区别在多大程度上重要?

波塞克利用耶鲁大学美术馆和耶鲁皮博迪自然历史博物馆的藏品，将人造和自然制品放在美学上的同等地位，表明它们之间的区别并不像我们可能认为的那么大。

在150多张全彩盘子中，鸟巢、恐龙头、楔形文字板等物件与亚洲手卷、非洲头饰、现代杰作等并置在一起。

展出的艺术家包括Albrecht Durer, Helen Frankenthaler, Vincent van Gogh,

Barbara Hepworth, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollack，以及波塞克本人，他的作品描绘了鱼，鸟和濒危野生动物。

还包括一篇由伊迪丝·德瓦尼精辟的文章和波塞克的文本，探索我们奇妙的相互联系的世界的宏伟作品。

Award-winning artist, writer, and naturalist James Prosek (b. 1975) has gained a worldwide following for his deep connection with the natural world, which serves as the basis for his art and numerous popular books. In this cross-disciplinary catalogue, Prosek poses the question, What is art and what is artifact—and to what extent do these distinctions matter? Drawing on the collections of the Yale University Art Gallery and the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, Prosek places man- and nature-made objects on equal footing aesthetically, suggesting that the distinction between them is not as vast as we may believe. In more than 150 full-color plates, objects such as a bird’s nest, dinosaur head, and cuneiform tablet are juxtaposed with Asian handscrolls, an African headdress, modern masterpieces, and more. Artists featured include Albrecht Dürer, Helen Frankenthaler, Vincent van Gogh,

Barbara Hepworth, Pablo Picasso, and Jackson Pollack, as well as Prosek himself, whose works depict fish, birds, and endangered wildlife. Also included are an incisive essay by Edith Devaney and texts by Prosek that explore the magnificent productions of our wondrous interconnected world.
