一位顶尖艺术史学家提出了一种新语法，用以理解印刷品的意义与价值

 

在工艺和技术上，版画制作是一种物理接触的艺术。从木刻、雕刻到平版印刷和丝网印刷，每一件印刷品都是一次接触事件的记录：图像在压力作用下从一个表面转移到另一个表面，然后脱离。本书《接触》揭示了版画的物理特性所蕴含的诗意与政治意涵，并为理解版画艺术的智慧及其在当今的持续相关性提供了一个新的框架。

 

版画制作看似简单的物理过程实则伴随着一系列变化，这些变化表达了现代和当代艺术核心中的许多社会和概念关切。詹妮弗·罗伯茨（Jennifer Roberts）探讨了反转、分离和干扰等变化，并通过克里斯蒂安娜·鲍姆加特纳（Christiane Baumgartner）、大卫·哈蒙斯（David Hammons）、埃德加·希普·奥夫·伯兹（Edgar Heap of Birds）、贾斯珀·琼斯（Jasper Johns）、科丽塔·肯特（Corita Kent）、格伦·利贡（Glenn Ligon）、朱莉·梅赫雷图（Julie Mehretu）、罗伯特·劳森伯格（Robert Rauschenberg）以及许多其他在版画媒介边缘及之外工作的顶尖艺术家的作品，探索了这些动态。

 

这本图文并茂的著作专注于版画制作过程中的物质和空间变化，而非其可复制性，探讨了版画、绘画和雕塑之间的联系，以及纯艺术、工业艺术、装饰艺术和家居艺术之间的联系。罗伯茨在全书中不断探讨艺术家们从版画中学到了什么，以及我们反过来又能从他们那里学到什么。

 

A leading art historian presents a new grammar for understanding the meaning and significance of print

 

In process and technique, printmaking is an art of physical contact. From woodcut and engraving to lithography and screenprinting, every print is the record of a contact event: the transfer of an image between surfaces, under pressure, followed by release. Contact reveals how the physical properties of print have their own poetics and politics and provides a new framework for understanding the intelligence and continuing relevance of printmaking today.

 

The seemingly simple physics of printmaking brings with it an array of metamorphoses that give expression to many of the social and conceptual concerns at the heart of modern and contemporary art. Exploring transformations such as reversal, separation, and interference, Jennifer Roberts explores these dynamics in the work of Christiane Baumgartner, David Hammons, Edgar Heap of Birds, Jasper Johns, Corita Kent, Glenn Ligon, Julie Mehretu, Robert Rauschenberg, and many other leading artists who work at the edge of the medium and beyond.

 

Focusing on the material and spatial transformations of the printmaking process rather than its reproducibility, this beautifully illustrated book explores the connections between print, painting, and sculpture, but also between the fine arts, industrial arts, decorative arts, and domestic arts. Throughout, Roberts asks what artists are learning from print, and what we, in turn, can learn from them.
