简介

本书为配合一场巡回展览而出版，深入探讨了琼·利夫（June Leaf, 1929–2024）这位无法被简单归类、毕生进行实验性创作的艺术家。书中收录了最新的学术研究，以及她的同行艺术家琼·乔纳斯（Joan Jonas）和卡拉·沃克（Kara Walker）的反思文章。

本书从众多博物馆、私人收藏以及利夫庞大的个人档案中取材，是迄今为止对她艺术生涯最全面的回顾。利夫那些迷人而富有挑衅性的动态雕塑、装置、绘画和素描在书中交融并置，展现了她对戏剧与表演、舞蹈、性别、运动、都市生活、神话和人际关系等主题的持续探索。她以非传统和直觉的方式巧妙融合媒介与材料，通过将黄铜、铜、锡、现成金属棒材和刀片、木材及颜料进行创造性的结合，构建出充满趣味与对抗性的形象和机械装置。

Published to coincide with a traveling exhibition that explores June Leaf's (1929–2024) uncategorizable and endlessly experimental oeuvre, this volume features new scholarship alongside reflections by the artist's peers, Joan Jonas and Kara Walker. Drawing from numerous museum and private collections as well as Leaf's vast personal archive, it is the most exhaustive survey of her career to date. Leaf's enchanting and provocative kinetic sculptures, assemblages, paintings, and drawings are intermingled and juxtaposed, revealing the artist's sustained engagement with such motifs and themes as theater and performance, dance, gender, motion, urban life, mythology, and interpersonal relationships. She skillfully blends mediums and materials in unconventional and intuitive ways, resulting in compositions where playful and combative figures and contraptions emerge from inventive combinations of brass, copper, tin, found metal rods and blades, wood, and paint.
