摘要

这篇文章颂扬了约翰-威尔逊的视觉杰作《理查德-赖特组曲》（2001 年），该组曲由六幅优雅的蚀刻版画组成，重新演绎了理查德-赖特的长篇小说《河畔》。威尔逊的图像以及激发这些图像的故事，都是为了纪念 1927 年密西西比大洪水中逝去的生命。正如赖特的长篇小说一直与蓝调音乐中抒写的洪水相关联，威尔逊的蚀刻版画通过将密西西比河描绘成一条醒目的蓝色溪流，将蓝调音乐形象化。这条河以水墨画的形式呈现，不仅纪念了工业资本主义引发的气候灾难的威力，也是对那些在灾难中丧生的黑人的纪念。

Seeing "The Death of Mann"

This essay celebrates John Wilson's visual masterpiece, The Richard Wright Suite (2001), a series of six elegant etchings that reimagine Richard Wright's novella, "Down by the Riverside." Wilson's images, and the story that inspired them, remember lives lost to the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. Just as Wright's novella has been associated with accounts of the flood lyricized in blues music, Wilson's etchings visualize the blues by depicting the Mississippi River as a striking blue stream. Laboriously crafted in aquatint, the river not only memorializes the power of climate disasters fomented by industrial capitalism, but honors those Black lives claimed in their devastation.
