本书对当代巴西艺术家利吉亚·帕佩（Lygia Pape）早期创作的木版画作品进行了引人入胜的探讨，这些作品对她后来的艺术发展轨迹产生了深远影响。

利吉亚·帕佩（1927-2004）是巴西最著名的当代艺术家之一，她20世纪50年代末与利吉亚·克拉克（Lygia Clark）和赫利奥·奥提西卡（Hélio Oiticica）等艺术家共同创立了新具体主义运动。帕佩在绘画、表演、版画和雕塑等领域探索了新的视觉语言，她的作品——其中大部分基于几何图形——邀请观众参与她艺术中的存在性、感官性和心理性体验。

本书首次深入探讨了帕佩在1952年至1960年间创作的实验性木版画作品，并分析了这些作品在帕佩整个职业生涯中所起的基础性作用，预示了她后来提出的“磁化空间”哲学。帕佩的版画由重叠的几何和线性元素构成，有时让人联想到原子粒子或显微样本的切片，她使用的极其纤薄、透明的日本纸更是突显了这些作品的非凡深度。这些作品在创作数十年后，被艺术家赋予了“Tecelares”的标题，该词大致可译为“编织”，恰当地捕捉到了帕佩在版画创作中独特的纯手工方法。本书插图丰富，深入揭示了艺术家的版画美学、材料选择和创作过程如何体现了她关于艺术的核心理念。

An engaging investigation of contemporary Brazilian artist Lygia Pape’s early body of woodblock prints, which profoundly influenced the trajectory of her oeuvre

One of Brazil’s best-known contemporary artists, Lygia Pape (1927–2004) was a founding member of the Neo-Concrete movement in the late 1950s along with artists such as Lygia Clark and Hélio Oiticica. Pape explored new visual languages in painting, performance, printmaking, and sculpture, and her work—much of it based in geometry—invited viewers to participate in the existential, sensorial, and psychological experience of her art.

Presenting the first in-depth treatment of the experimental woodblock prints Pape made between 1952 and 1960, this volume examines the foundational role these works played in the rest of Pape’s career, foreshadowing her philosophy of “magnetized space.” Composed of overlapping geometric and linear elements that at times suggest atomic particles or slides of microscopic specimens, Pape’s prints display an extraordinary depth accentuated by her use of incredibly thin, translucent Japanese papers. The artist applied the title Tecelares to these works decades after their creation. Loosely translated as “weavings,” the term captures Pape’s uniquely handmade approach to printmaking. Lavishly illustrated, this study is filled with revealing insights into how the artist’s printmaking aesthetic, materials, and process embody her core ideas about art.
