内容提要：

瑞士籍抽象画家吉川静子(Shizuko Yoshikawa, 1934–2019)出生于日本，曾在被誉为“战后包豪斯”的德国乌尔姆设计学院学习，成为那里为数不多的、也是第一批日本学生之一。后来，她嫁给了瑞士平面设计的先驱、著名设计师约瑟夫·穆勒·布罗克曼（Josef Müller Brockmann, 1914-1996）。此后吉川静子搬到了瑞士生活，并成为了一名画家以及第二代构成-具体主义艺术家的一员，也是这一艺术运动中为数不多的女性。

吉川的绘画结合了欧洲现代艺术的理性观念和东方禅宗传统的诗意与灵动。拥有日本和欧洲的双重文化背景，吉川静子的作品有着独特的视角，也在艺术领域占据了显著位置。

这本关于吉川静子的专著包含了艺术史学者加布里埃尔·沙德（Gabrielle Schaad）撰写的重要文章，以及吉本美多里（Midori Yoshimoto）的评论性文章，重点聚焦于艺术家的生平，并将其全部作品置于日本的语境下进行解读。

Japanese-born Swiss abstract painter Shizuko Yoshikawa (born 1934) was one of the first and few Japanese students at the Ulm School of Design, known as the "postwar Bauhaus." She later married the renowned designer Josef Müller-Brockmann (1914–96), a pioneer of Swiss graphic design, and moved to Switzerland, where she became an artist and a member of the second generation of constructive-concrete artists―among the very few women belonging to this art movement. Yoshikawa's painting combines the rational concepts of European modern art with the poetry and ease of the Zen tradition.

This first monograph on Shizuko Yoshikawa's work contains a major essay by art historian Gabrielle Schaad and a contribution by Midori Yoshimoto, highlighting the life of the artist and interpreting her oeuvre in a Japanese context.
