中国艺术的体势观

Sense and Sensibility of Chinese Art

艺术的"体势"是作品中艺术生命的情态、趋向和力度,体现宇宙之道和生命规律。势通过形象得以体现,只见其功,而不见其形。作品中的势关乎创作者的心性和情感的动力,是自然的生命精神和主观情趣的统一。势是通过构思、借助于艺术语言的传达而获得效果的,其表达要得法。作为一种力的体现,势有一种张力感,具有变通性、动态性和感染力,讲究境界,体现和谐,常常表现为遒劲刚健的风格。

For art, ＂sense and sensibility＂ is an artistic living state, tendency and strength, and it embodies the Tao of universe and the law of living. ＂Sensibility＂ is hidden into image. It closely relates to artists＇ personality, mind and feeling. ＂Sensibility＂ appears with the aid of artistic language and conception. As a kind of strength, ＂sensibility＂ has a sense of tension. It must be flexible, dynamic, vigorous and energetic.
