简介

本书为配合2016年10月20日至2017年2月26日在牛津大学阿什莫林博物馆（Ashmolean Museum）举办的刘丹（1953年生）个展而出版的图录。刘丹是中国二十一世纪的领军艺术家之一，出生于古都南京，自幼在家跟随祖父学习传统书法，在学校接受的却是基于西方方法的学术训练。20世纪80年代初他移居美国，2005年返回北京，一生穿梭于东西方世界之间。本次展览聚焦于刘丹对意大利文艺复兴的回应，特别与阿什莫林博物馆收藏的欧洲古典大师素描作品形成对话。图录内容包括：艺术家的艺术脉络、教育背景、早期生涯、岩石画与文人传统、对倪瓒（1301-1374）和拉斐尔（1483-1520）的研究、材料与技法、作品目录及年表等。

Contains a stunning array of previously unpublished material, including a new essay on the life and work of Liu Dan. Beautifully bound in cloth with embossed artist signature. Liu Dan is one of twenty-first-century China's leading artists. Born in 1953 in one of China's ancient capitals, Nanjing, he received his school education from the then recently-established People's Republic of China. His academic training was based on Western methods, while at home his grandfather taught him the traditional art of calligraphy. In the early 1980s he moved to America, returning to Beijing in 2005. As a result, he has lived his whole life passing between the discordant worlds of East and West. His familiarity with both sides of the Pacific filters into his art, although they are not necessarily emphasized. For example, the exhibition featured in this book focuses on Dan's response to the Italian Renaissance. It is particularly fitting that Dan should choose the Ashmolean to host his works. The Ashmolean houses one of the world's finest collections of Old Master drawings, and a selection of Italian metalpoint drawings from the collection is included in his exhibition.
