当人们看到艺术家凯特·麦克道威尔(Kate Macdowell)的作品时,脑海中会情不自禁地浮现出这样一段话——段来自英国学者、《纳尼亚王国传奇》作者C.S.Lewis的名言:“对于美,我们从不满足于远观。尽管上帝为证,美已是无上的恩典。我们希求无法诉诸语言的情感——我们想与所见的美产生关联,想将美据为己有,想周身沐浴其中,甚至——想成为美的一部分。” When people see the work of the artist Kate Macdowell, one can not help but emerge in my mind - the quote from the British scholar CS Lewis, author of the legend of the Chronicles of Narnia: “For the United States, we are never satisfied with the distance, although beauty is the supreme grace of God, and we seek the inability to resort to the language we want to associate with what we see, Have, want to bathe in the whole body, even - want to be a part of the United States. ”
