由Christine Macel编辑的这本图录及其所附的展览突出了一百多位女性艺术家对截止到20世纪80年代的抽象主义做出的贡献。通过关注这些经常被遗忘的艺术家的职业生涯,本书对既定的标准提出了质疑,并提供了另一个版本的抽象画历史,从希尔玛?阿夫?克林特(Hilma Af Klint)的象征主义抽象,到胡盖特?卡兰德(Huguette Caland)的感性抽象,再到维蕾娜?冯?卢文斯伯格(Verena Von Loewensberg)的纯粹主义非写实手法。著名学者的文章探讨了这些女性的技巧、关注点和遗产,揭示了她们的独特经历,并对她们的作品和整场运动进行了新的敏锐思考。
Edited by Christine Macel, this catalogue and the exhibition it accompanies highlights the contributions of a hundred or so women artists to abstraction up to the 1980s, with a few unprecedented forays into the 19th century. By focusing on the careers of artists so often unjustly eclipsed, the book questions the established canons and offers an alternative history of abstraction, from the symbolist abstraction of Hilma Af Klint, to the sensual abstraction of Huguette Caland, to the purist non-objective approach of Verena Von Loewensberg. Essays by noted scholars explore the techniques, concerns and legacies of these women, shedding light on their unique experiences and offering keen new reflections on their work and the movement as a whole.
