论书法的实践指向

On the Practice-orientation of Calligraphy

当代书坛由于受西方表现主义美学观的影响,只注重观念,而忽视传达这种观念的操作实践层面,不讲求实践工夫而竭力表现自己的思想,使得其书法仅仅是一些理念的堆积。中国古代艺术家对“技艺”层面的艺术实践非常重视,但书法又不仅仅是一门技艺。书法美学所关注的除了结构、章法等技巧层面的美学规律外,还有人格、气质、情感寄寓等超越于技艺层面的东西,这是理解书法实践指向的另外一个层面。书法作品是向外打开的,通过它可以把理想和追求传达到接受者的心灵世界,进而创造出一个新天地。

If calligraphy lacks practice, it will be only the accumulation of ideas. Ancient artists attached great importance to practice. Calligraphy is not only a kind of craft. There are personality, temperament and other factors except line and fabric and the like that go along artistic works. Calligraphy can change people＇s spirit and their participation in the world.
