论闻一多文艺思想的嬗变

On the Evolution of Wen Yi-duo's Thought on Literature and Art

闻一多在其早期受西方济慈等人的影响 ,认为“以美为艺术之核心” ,主张“纯艺术的艺术”并“纳诗于艺术之轨” ,坚持“做”诗并倡导诗歌的“三美”。然而随着那“不是混着好玩”岁月的流逝并亲身体验“生活的严重”后 ,他转而重视诗的社会价值并彻底摒弃了“唯美主义”的价值取向而站在人民的立场上呼唤“时代的鼓手”。文艺观由“艺术为艺术”变为“艺术为人生” ,从誓做“艺术的忠臣”到成为“人民的忠臣” ,我们在其文艺思想的嬗变过程中 ,看到了社会存在对社会意识的决定作用。

Mr. Wen Yi duo persisted in 'refining' poems and advocated 'three beauties' in poems after he was influenced by Keats and other Western poets who held that 'beauty is the core of art' and 'art for art's sake', and 'put poems in the scope of art' in his early period. However, he turned to pay much attention to the social value of the poems and abandoned his persuit of 'aestheticism' and called for 'drummers of the times' in the firm stand of the people soon after personally experiencing 'the hardships of life'. His idea of literature and art became 'art for life' from 'art for art's sake' and 'an official loyal to his people' from 'an official loyal to his art'. We can see the decisive function of man's social being in the course of the evolution of his thoughts on literature and art.
