从罗丹画册里的一张照片谈起——警惕当代城雕作品中人文内涵与情感的遗失

Talking from a Photo of Rodin's Picture Album -Vigilant against Humane Intension and Feeling Loss of ContemporaryUrban Sculpture Works

有一张照片在罗丹的画册中经常出现,内容是1906年的4月21日巴黎“法国的光荣”建筑前雕塑《思想者》揭幕的一个场面:幕布拉下的一瞬间,人们或脱帽致意,或欢呼奔走,或热切交谈,或激动愕然。毕竟,作为家喻户晓的名作,《思想者》仿佛是一个探索的象征,一种幻想的化身,一次生命力的诞生,它牵引着人们的思绪,鼓舞着人们的情感,撼动着人们的心灵。而这不仅仅是因为它有着一个发人深省的名字,更在于作品以其深刻的社会内涵激起了人们心灵上的情感共振。

History supplies us with an opportunity of showing ourselves. The moment each urban sculpture works is installed and established, it's as if a new thing faces a whole new world and receives artistic, public and temporal trial. Whether it succeeds or fails, the public should judge it. Because of fast development of economy, urban sculpture develops fast and sculpture in various areas of the whole country stand in great numbers. Under this circumstance, how to guarantee the quality of the creation naturally becomes an urgent problem. From the major tendency and the overall situation, there are considerable experience and sustainable improvement in the development of urban sculpture. However, objectively speaking, the urban sculptures established or being constructed are obviously different in creation levels. High design level works account for a small ratio, which has obvious difference compared with European, American and Japanese works. Urban sculpture needs cultural idea and spiritual feeling factor, which is impossible to leave the background of nation era. The art circle can conclude through several years of exploration: in developing countries, when economy and culture are inferior and in less important position, it's inevitable to adapt to developed countries'ideology on the whole. We are expecting our sculptors to be ripe ceaselessly and expecting good works with intension, cultural meaning and exquisite feelings to come forth constantly. We are expecting works with powerful convulsion force like 'Thinker' to stand in our cities.
