生活审美化时代的艺术危机

Art Crisis of the Age of Aesthetic Life

生活艺术化曾经是中国几代知识分子的梦想和追求。然而当生活艺术化真正来临,怀抱人文理想的精英知识分子却发现,艺术不仅没有发挥他们预期的塑造审美人格的作用,相反成为物质时代消解人类精神的得力工具。当艺术遭遇技术复制和传媒播撒时,当艺术的审美特性被泛滥地使用和消费时,当艺术沦落为商业手段时,当艺术赖以汲取生命之源的生活世界也被逼真的仿制时,我们不能不深刻的体验到艺术的危机正是人类自身的危机。

Artistry of life was once a dream and pursuit for intellectuals of several generations in China. However, when artistry of life is approaching, the intellectual elites with ideals of humanities happen to find that art does not give full play to its shaping of aesthetic personality as they have expected, on the contrary, art has stooped to a useful instrument in counteracting human beings＇ spirit in the age of material. When art suffers from technological duplication and diffusion of mass media, when aesthetic traits of art are abused and consumed, when art descends to commercial means, when the living world art depending upon as a source of life is duplicated true to nature, we can not be well unaware that the crisis for art is the human beings＇ own crisis.
