论艺术创作中的类宗教情感

On Quasi-Religious Sentiments in Art Creation

艺术给予人的是美,是美的享受和美的精神,是教人从善。因此,艺术如同宗教一样是神圣的,是崇高的。艺术家对于艺术应该如同圣徒对于宗教,是敬仰的,是敬畏的。在其艺术创作中应该怀着类似于宗教情感般的热情。但是,艺术的神圣在很长一段时间中被亵渎,被衰减,成为了物质生活的陪衬和玩物。所以,我们要以爱来重构当今世界的审美价值,重树艺术的神圣,以爱来重新唤起艺术家对生命、对世间万物的关怀,重新唤起艺术家及世人对艺术的神圣激情。

What art gives is beauty, the enjoyment of beauty and the spirit in beauty; it is an appeal to the goodness in people. Therefore, art, like religion, is holy and noble. As a saint is to religion, so is an artist to art, revering yet devout. In art creation, he/she should have a passion as evoked in religion. However, the inviolable art has long since been profaned and reduced to a foil or an ornament to the material life. That＇s why we need to rebuild with love the aesthetic values in a modem world, return the sacredness of art and, with love, re-arouse artists＇ concern for life and everything in the world, and rekindle artists＇ or others＇ enthusiasm for the inviolable art.
