论20世纪50年代美术的“概念化”和“公式化”

Discussing on the Art of "Conceptualization" and "Formulation" in the 1950s

20世纪50年代初期,美术创作中普遍存在"概念化"和"公式化"现象,主要体现在对政策条文的生硬理解与作品的陈陈相因上。文艺界领导认为解决的关键在于正确理解画家和生活的关系。然而在高度意识形态化的氛围中,艺术创作宁可"概念化""公式化",也不愿无意冒犯政治原则,反映了画家宁左勿右的自保心理。

In the early 1950s, phenomenon of 'conceptualization' and 'formulation' were commonly used in creating works, which mainly reflected the rigid understanding on policy and works issues by following an old routine. The leaders of art circles realized that to understand the relations between painters and their livings must be the key to the solution. However, in the high degree ideology atmosphere, the artistswould rather be 'conceptualized' and 'formulized' than offend the political principle unintentionally in creating works. It reflects that the artists would rather holdself-preservation psychology than making wrong.
