●内容简介——

开创性地考察了绘画行为如何成为露丝·阿萨瓦多面艺术的重要组成部分

“一场启示性的展览……[一本]精美的展览目录。”——南希·普林森塔尔，《纽约时报》，“评论家精选”

露丝·阿萨瓦 (1926-2013) 因其环形金属丝雕塑而闻名，她是一位绘画爱好者。她画满了一本又一本的素描本，甚至说绘画是她雕塑的核心。这本书初次探讨了绘画在阿萨瓦整个职业生涯中作品中的重要性，收录了研究阿萨瓦在材料和技术方面的美学手法范围的论文；阿萨瓦的绘画如何与湾区艺术界交织在一起，以及她作为教师和组织者对公共教育的贡献；以及约瑟夫·阿尔伯斯教学法的影响和阿萨瓦一生对他的折纸方式的采用。该作品概述了阿萨瓦的绘画作品，追溯了她的艺术历程，从二战期间在日裔美国人拘留营中初次接受正规美术教程，到就读黑山学院及以后的时光，其中包括一百多幅作品的复制品——其中许多从未出版过——并分为八个跨越时间的主题部分，反映了一种循环或周期性而非线性的艺术创作实践。

A groundbreaking examination of how the act of drawing was a vital component of Ruth Asawa’s multifaceted art

“A revelatory exhibition. . . . [A] fine exhibition catalog.”—Nancy Princenthal, New York Times, “Critic’s Pick”

Ruth Asawa (1926–2013), widely known for her looped-wire sculptures, was an inveterate drawer. She filled sketchbook after sketchbook and even stated that drawing was central to her sculpture. This volume is the first to consider the significance of drawing in Asawa’s oeuvre throughout her career, featuring essays that examine the range of Asawa’s aesthetic maneuvers across materials and techniques; how Asawa’s drawing intertwined with the Bay Area arts community and her contributions to public education as a teacher and organizer; and the influence of Josef Albers’s pedagogy and Asawa’s lifelong adoption of his type of paper folding. Tracing Asawa’s artistic journey from her first formal art lessons in a Japanese American internment camp during World War II through her time at Black Mountain College and beyond, this comprehensive overview of the artist’s drawings includes reproductions of more than one hundred works—many of which have never been published—organized into eight thematic sections that cut through time, reflecting an art-making practice that was more circular or cyclical than linear.
