论“四王”艺术特质的成因——一种对绘画的哲学研究

On the philosophical factors of artistic character in Four-Wang′s paintings

为了阐明清代四王艺术特质形成的深层原因,立足于心灵机能,运用康德哲学的先验研究法。认为艺术是艺术家的知性、想象力和反省判断力、品位几种心灵机能共同的产物,而清代四王的艺术能力之长在于知性,其短则在于想象力与反省判断力,品位也差强人意,其心灵机能的长短就形成了作品的艺术特质。

To clarify the reasons of artistic characters of the Four-Wang＇s paintings of the Qing Dynasty, the paper uses the method of Kants＇ transcendental theory based on the ability of human soul, puts forward that art is a production of the artist＇s ability of soul which concludes understanding, imagination and the reflective judgment as well as taste. In Four-Wang＇s artistic creation, their artistic understanding is good, their taste is ordinary while their imagination and reflective judgment are poor. This is the reason of artistic character of their paintings.
