着色书籍的治疗价值一直是今年讨论的热门话题，但直到本周RxArt年度美术版的发布，我们才有兴趣参与其中。与教练合作创作的这本彩色书有约翰·巴尔德萨里(JohnBaldessari)的封面和贴纸，还有52位其他当代艺术家的作品，他们用黑白印刷，等待成人和儿童填写。

第五年来，RXART的彩色图书系列完成了通过视觉艺术帮助儿童康复的使命。今年的版本以Rita Ackermann、Olaf Breuning、Subodh Gupta、凯斯·哈林和Angel Otero的形象为特色，仅举几个例子。

RxArt总裁黛安·布朗(DianeBrown)说，着色书是我最喜欢的项目之一，我们出版的书中至少有90%是捐赠给我们合作医院的孩子的。这些书帮助住院的孩子、他们的兄弟姐妹和父母把他们的思想从疾病中解脱出来，专注于一些有创意和有趣的事情。

虽然第5卷主要是作为礼物送给美国各地的儿科病房，但“在线条之间：当代视觉艺术家的着色书，第5卷”可以从世界各地的零售商、画廊和博物馆商店、书店和RxArt的网站上购买。

Although primarily created as gifts to pediatric wards throughout the US, the colouring book is available to buy from select retailers and on RxArt’s website. Left: Noses & Ears, Etc.: The Gemini Series: One Face (Three Versions) with Nose, Ear, and Glasses, 2006, by John Baldessari and right: Self Portrait Maze, 2015, by Alex Israel
