The third floor space at Marian Goodman Gallery in New York has been taken over by drawings and linocut prints by the South African artist, William Kentridge

南非多媒体艺术家威廉·肯塔里奇的知名度已经大大提高，因为他的艺术作品现在正在大都会歌剧院展出。在那里，肯塔基里奇上演并导演了阿尔班·伯格的歌剧“露露”，该剧于1937年首次首演。对于那些不能欣赏这出著名歌剧的人(或者说不会，因为它恰好有四个小时的时间)，但他们希望看到肯塔里奇为制作这部歌剧而创作并投射到舞台上的一些绘画作品，这是一个偶然的选择。纽约的玛丽安·古德曼画廊(Marian Goodman Gallery)展出了67幅作品，“露露的素描”。与四个签名的亚努科特版画和限量版艺术家的书，露露发挥弗兰克韦德金德，其中包括插图由肯塔基岭和出版的阿里昂出版社。

在他的绘画中，凯奇拉回到德国表现主义的木刻，如基什内尔，以灵感来渲染一个女性Fatale的后裔进入监狱并最终死亡的故事。在将黑色墨水应用到实际的字典页面上时，艺术家捕捉角色，
其中有些基于历史人物，如西格蒙德·弗洛伊德，以破碎的形式讲述一个无情的世界。

这些画有一种令人难以忘怀的电性质，生动地讲述了露露悲惨的死亡。随着歌剧已经得到了热烈的评价，这是另一种方式采取肯塔基的最新创作。

The drawings correspond to Kentridge's production of 'The Lulu Plays', an opera from 1937 that's currently being performed at the Metropolitan Opera

Kentridge created the drawings for the production to be projected onto the stage sets

In applying black ink onto actual dictionary pages, the artist captures the characters, some of which he based on historical figures in a fractured form telling of the story

Kentridge reached back to German Expressionist woodcuts such as Kirchner for inspiration to render the tale of a femme fatale’s descent into prison and eventually death

Kentridge notes, 'The physicality of ink - black ink, ink as blood, the harsh line and clarity of images corresponding to the ruthless world, becomes an aesthetic equivalent of the instability of desire, a central construct of the Lulu opera.'

The exhibition also includes a limited edition artist book, 'The Lulu Plays' by Frank Wedekind, illustrated by the artist and published by Arion Press
