源于生活的艺术——洛克威尔·肯特的艺术观

The Art of Living——Rockwell Kent's artistic concept

生活是艺术无尽的源泉,任何伟大的艺术无不产生于艺术家对生活的挚爱。艺术家要热爱艺术,更要热爱生活,这是肯特现实主义的艺术观,是肯特艺术世界的真谛,更是肯特对生活的热爱和他伟大人格的体现。真正的艺术不是简单的流于表面形式,而是打动人的心灵、唤醒人的感情,这才是艺术的目的。肯特力求寻找明确的、通俗的艺术表现,追求普通民众所能了解和接受的艺术语言,置身与自然界之中,直接地、全面地观察生活,描绘自然界看到的形象,舍弃无关的细节,选择最重要、最典型的事物,表现激动人心的东西。肯特对现实生活的热爱,对艺术的真诚探索,应当成为每位艺术工作者共同的追求。
