艺术追念与鉴取

Memory of Pioneers and Identification of Art Concepts

当代世界思想领域最具影响力的阿根廷诗人、作家博尔赫斯运用他浩瀚无边,缜密理性的反习惯思维提出一些非常人能触及的问题,语惊四海,其影响超越了文学和思想界。他的一个著名命题问到:卡夫卡及其先驱者到底谁创造了谁?爱思考者遇到此问题便会不自觉反省:先驱者影响后来者虽是一般人的认识习惯,但对后来者的发现会使后来者群改变了对"先驱者"的阅读习惯,从而"发现"了先驱者。博尔赫斯结论到:"事实是每一位作家创造了他自己的先驱者。"用此观点考察绘画史,研究我们视觉观念的形成,筛选甄别视觉观念的真伪,不啻为一件有意义的事。

With his unique thinking, Jorge Luis Borges （ 1899 - 1986）, writer, has put forward a question which is beyond the common an influential Argentina poet and people and has aroused international attention in the contemporary fields of literature and thinking. Once he asked ： Who created whom first, Kafka or his pioneer？ Such a proposition has carried people into a world of thought and reflection. It was a general knowledge of the common people that the pioneers had always an influence on every new writer, but the discovery of a new writer might change the readers＇reading habits - it is the new writer who discovered the pioneer. The conclusion of Borges＇ is that every writer, in fact, should have created his own pioneer. With such a perspective, it is of significance to study the history of paintings, especially in studying the development of visual concepts, in making choices among visual concepts, and in identifying the true or false of visual concepts.
