艺术学与美学的界限

The Demarcation Between Art and Aesthetics

美学与艺术学不易分开的原因,主要表现在同为对艺术的感性认识这点上。然而,美学是以研究美为目的,以对感觉形象引起精神愉悦为基准,它是依附于欣赏二度艺术创造的层面上。而艺术学理论则要穿越艺术欣赏的层面,深入艺术进行原创性研究。艺术家经验的直觉思维带有审美因素,但美包含于形象创造之中。艺术家的直觉冲动与创造力,始源于对生命和灵魂的触摸,艺术对生命经验的表现,显示了对审美主体经验的遮覆与超越。艺术技法和表现手段是通过形象创造包蕴美,不属于美学范畴。艺术学理论与美学构成以作品欣赏为叠合的交叉关系,而艺术原创性研究则依赖于原初的艺术创造实践。中国古代艺术直观感悟的经验性理论,是原创性理论研究的重要资源。

The reason for the difficulty in separating art from aesthetics is that both are related to the perceptual knowledge of art. However, aesthetics is oriented to deal with beauty in hope of arousing spiritual pleasure from perceived images, which is attached to the re-creation of art. In contrast, artistic theory goes beyond artistic appreciation and go deeper into originality of art. Artistic techniques and expressive devices contain beauty by image creation, failing outside the category of aesthetics. Artistic theory intersects aes- thetics at appreciation of works. The study of artistic originality depends on original artistic creation. The perceived experiential theories of the ancient Chinese art are the important resources for the study of originality.
