艺术在今天的使命

Today’s Mission of Arts

一、今日艺术的必要前提 “活着?还是死去?”丹麦王子哈姆雷特的质疑在今天摆到了艺术的面前。沿着文艺复兴人文主义思路,整个世界开始进入现代文化。现代艺术说到底,不过是对个体价值的尊重,以个人创造反抗集权化的群体规范,以个人情感冲击伦理化的理性中心。现代主义运动是在二元冲突的文化背景中展开的,是从反传统和反规范开始的,前者针对古典主义,后者针对现实社会,其指向则是市俗意识形态和公众文化心理。在这里,艺术家以反英雄的英雄即解放者的身份出现,社会公众从拒斥到接受的经历被视为精神约束不断解放和个性心理不断开释——即艺术民主化的过程。 现代艺术作为精英文化。
