中文简介：

这本图文并茂的书收录了Brice Marden的新画和纸上作品，并配有Eliot Weinberger的文章。

为配合2021年Brice Marden的新绘画和纸上作品展览而出版，这本目录包括每件作品的全彩插图，以及记录展览的作品细节和装置视图。艺术家在工作室里的肖像是由艺术家的女儿Mirabelle Marden拍摄的，并附有正在进行的作品图片。

Marden的绘画记录了他在纽约州北部蒂沃利的工作室观察到的自然光线和色彩的日常和季节性变化。他从绘画开始，在一些画布上画满了手势符号，它们占据了写作和绘画之间的领域。在这些基础上，他应用了曲折的、多色彩的线性笔触网络，建立了构图的直线和曲线之间的相互关系，以及它们的轮廓（不管是确定的还是隐含的）和周长之间的关系。

在加勒比尼维斯岛上创作的相关纸上作品揭示了Marden绘画实践的即时性和范围，并体现了艺术家从1980年代开始的对中国诗歌和书法传统的持续接触。Eliot Weinberger的一篇新文章以这种特殊的兴趣为出发点，将Marden的作品与中国书法的起源和早期现代主义哲学关于抽象艺术的内容联系起来。

This lavishly illustrated volume features new paintings and works on paper by Brice Marden, with an essay by Eliot Weinberger.

Published to coincide with a 2021 exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by Brice Marden, this catalogue includes full-color illustrations of each work, as well as details of works and installation views documenting the exhibition. Portraits of the artist in his studio were taken by the artist's daughter, Mirabelle Marden, and are accompanied by images of works in progress.

Marden's paintings evoke the daily and seasonal shifts in natural light and color that the artist observes when working in his studio in Tivoli in upstate New York. He begins with drawing, filling some canvases with gestural glyphs that occupy a realm between writing and painting. Over these, he applies sinuous, multihued networks of linear brushstrokes, establishing interrelationships between the compositions' straight and curving lines, and between their contours―whether defined or implied―and perimeters.

Related works on paper made on the Caribbean island of Nevis reveal the immediacy and range of Marden's drawing practice and exemplify the artist's sustained engagement with the traditions of Chinese poetry and calligraphy, which he initiated in the 1980s and has continuously developed ever since. A new text by Eliot Weinberger takes this particular interest as its point of departure, connecting Marden's work to the origin of Chinese writing and early modernist philosophies about the content of abstract art.
