这位鲜为人知的北卡罗来纳州艺术家于1987年去世,如今迎来了一场大型回顾展,让我们沉浸在她那繁茂而神秘的幻象之中。《无题(天使与曼陀罗环绕的面孔拼贴)》(1946-68)。

The little-known North Carolina artist, who died in 1987, receives a major retrospective that immerses us in her lush, enigmatic visions. ‘Untitled (Face Flanked by Angels and Mandalas Collage)’ (1946-68).

纽约惠特尼美术馆。在两地举办巡回展览实属罕见——更难得的是,每个场地都能唤起艺术家敏感性的不同侧面。这就是我在观看“失落的世界:明妮·埃文斯的艺术”时的体验,这场回顾展展出了约100幅油画和混合媒介素描,作者是埃文斯(1892-1987),一位自学成才的非裔美国艺术家。尽管她曾在1969年登上《新闻周刊》,并于1975年在惠特尼美国艺术博物馆举办个展,但她仍然鲜为人知。

The Whitney New York It is unusual to see a traveling exhibition at two venues—rarer still to find each setting evoking such a different facet of an artist’s sensibility. That was my experience with “The Lost World: The Art of Minnie Evans” a retrospective of about 100 oil paintings and mixed-media drawings by Evans (1892-1987), a self-taught African-American artist. Though featured in Newsweek in 1969 and given a solo show at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1975, she remains little known.
