危机中的革命——西方现代艺术的形成及其美学意义

A Revolution in Crisis——Western Modern Art and Its Aesthetic Significance

西方现代艺术形成于现代社会,对其本质和意义的探讨必须根据艺术在社会中的功能和它对于生活的意义,指责现代艺术为"骗局"的原因就在于忽视了艺术与社会及人的生活的关联,而在封闭的传统美学中定义艺术。现代艺术颠覆了传统艺术的构成法则,形成了碎片化的形象,因而导致了"观念至上"的形态,也因此构成了对传统艺术观念的瓦解。但这就是现代艺术的革命性,现代艺术是一种适合于现代社会的艺术,是构成、理解和参与现代生活的一种艺术。现代艺术也使美学重新获得了生命,使其面向现实生活这一广阔而真实的领域。

Modern art comes from modern society. Only based on its function in society and significance for life, we can discuss its quality and significance. The cause that rebukes modern art a trick is that some people overlook the relation between art and society, and people＇s life, and define art in close traditional Aesthetics. Modern art overthrows composing principle of traditional art, and produces fragmental image, so that it results in a mode of ＂supreme of concepts＂, and makes the concept of traditional art collapsed. However, this is the revolution of modern art, which is a kind of art that is propitious to modern society, a kind of art that structures, understands, and interposes modern society. Bestirred by modern art, aesthetics is reborn, and looks on real life which is a capacious and true realm.
