摘要

本文着眼于皮特·蒙德里安的百老汇布吉伍吉(1942-43)，这是自1943年获得现代艺术博物馆收藏以来最具代表性的画作之一，提供了一个对位的持久阅读，从根本上定位于欧洲前卫叙事的作品。在一个既熟悉又新颖的故事中，这篇文章强调了蒙德里安与美国布吉伍基音乐的接触所提供的结构和政治见解，通过录音和对夜总会Cafe Society的访问，将这幅画定位在两股移民流的交汇处:一股将蒙德里安作为战争难民带到纽约，另一股将布吉伍基音乐带到北方的大迁徙。追溯这些平行的历史，以及布吉-伍吉如何以特定的历史和政治方式表现出来，加深了我们对它如何为蒙德里安塑造一个自由空间以及塑造他最后两幅画中所实现的愿景的理解。

Mondrian's Boogie Woogie

Abstract This essay looks at Piet Mondrian's Broadway Boogie Woogie (1942-43), one of the most iconic paintings in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art since it was acquired in 1943, offering a counterpoint to persistent readings that fundamentally position the work within a narrative of the European avant-garde. In a story that is both familiar and new, this essay highlights the structural and political insights provided by Mondrian's engagement with boogie-woogie music in America, through both recordings and visits to the nightclub Cafe Society, positioning the painting at the confluence of two streams of migration: one that brought Mondrian to New York as a war refugee and another that brought boogie-woogie sound northward with the Great Migration. Tracing these parallel histories, and how boogie-woogie signified in specific historical and political ways, deepens our understanding of how it modeled a space of freedom for Mondrian and shaped the vision realized in his two final paintings.
