图像、文献与史境:中国美术史学方法研究

Images,Literature and Historical Environment: Study on Chinese Art History

图像、文献与史境,是研究中国美术史的关键要素,其相互关系涉及到中国美术史学的研究方法。中国美术史学的研究,要求研究者在历史语境初始状态中回到图像的本体,而不是停留在对文献文本的阐释中,并以此构建中国美术史学研究方法和知识体系,也就是说,以回归图像本体研究的中国美术史学方法与以本土文化思想为逻辑基础的中国美术史学体系,研究的是中国传统美术在历史中的真实呈现与变迁。研究者通过图像、文献与史境三者构成的相互路径关系,对中国美术史进行研究,探讨中国美术史中图像的初始功能性、意义性、文献性,并以此为逻辑起点,以图像本身所显示的艺术本质特征为逻辑终点,使图像作为中国美术史学的主要材料,揭示中国美术史作品的全部内涵。
