这本插图精美的书记录了**艺术家马克•布拉德福德雄心勃勃且及时的项目《皮克特的冲锋》。八幅新画延伸了近四百英尺，形成了一个环绕华盛顿特区的赫希霍恩博物馆整个楼层的360度体验。布拉德福德的巨大装置艺术的灵感来自于1883年保罗•菲利普波特（Paul Philippoteaux）为纪念葛底斯堡战役而绘制的飓风。Philippoteaux绘画中的元素是布拉德福德抓取的多层拼贴纸中的一些，以揭示隐藏的纹理和复杂性，而这种相互作用（过去和现在之间，易读的和神秘的令人回味之间）鼓励重新考虑历史的传统线性叙事。这本目录包含斯特凡•阿奎恩（StéphaneAquin）与这位艺术家的访谈和伊夫林•汉金斯（Evelyn Hankins）撰写的一篇文章，该文将特定地点的项目置于更广泛的艺术历史背景下。凭借大量的绘画作品及其装置艺术，包括两张折叠插页，这本书记录了对美国社会艺术的重大新贡献。

This beautifully illustrated book documents Pickett’s Charge, an ambitious and timely project by renowned artist Mark Bradford. Eight new paintings extend nearly four hundred feet to form a 360-degree experience encircling an entire floor of the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. Bradford’s monumental installation is inspired by the 1883 cyclorama painted by Paul Philippoteaux to commemorate the Battle of Gettysburg, which has been considered the critical turning point of the Civil War and, consequently, of American history. Elements from Philippoteaux’s paintings are among multiple layers of collaged paper that Bradford has scraped through to reveal hidden textures and complexities, and this interplay—between past and present, between the legible and the mysteriously evocative—encourages a reconsideration of history’s conventional linear narratives. The catalogue features an interview with the artist by Stéphane Aquin and an essay by Evelyn Hankins that situates the site-specific project within a broader art historical context. With lavish images of the paintings and their installation, including two gatefolds, this book records a significant new contribution to socially engaged American art.
