“纯诗”的先声——唯美艺术思想

"Pure Poetry" and Estheticism in European Literature

“纯诗”虽是象征主义的诗学命题,但作为纯粹美的艺术理想,它却是人类通过艺术所表达的一种生命需要。在法国象征主义运动之前,“纯诗”已寄生于浪漫主义和唯美主义艺术思想中。浪漫主义缺少艺术形式感的自省和唯美主义形式媒介的空泛,促使象征主义为“纯诗”赋形。然而,象征主义对艺术秩序的刻意寻求,最终使它因陷入形式化的唯美怪圈而制造了自己到达“纯诗”的距离。“纯诗”揭示美的最深刻的形式意义,应该隐没在音乐加宗教的情感振荡里,这里没有先在的模式。

＂Pure Poetry＂ is the theory of Symbolism. It is a kind of life demand that mankind expresses in art. Prior to French Symbolism movement, ＂Pure Poetry＂ is similar to the thought of Romantism and Estheticism. Symbolism fits in well with the form of ＂Pure Poetry＂ because Romantism is devoid of form , and the form of Estheticism is vague. However, the demand that Symbolism construct the intuitive order in art is still in its formative stage. As a resuit, Symbolism distances itself away from ＂Pure Poetry＂. ＂Pure Poetry＂ should find its form in music and religion.
