化美为媚——莱辛论诗、画艺术的转换

Analysis on“Converting Beauty into Grace”of Laocoon

"化美为媚"是莱辛在《拉奥孔》中的重要观点,该观点的提出基于莱辛的"诗画异质"说。"化美为媚"即是将造型艺术中所呈现的令人愉悦的、适中的、平静的"美"变化为诗歌艺术中所呈现的令人愉悦的、流动的、富有生命力的"媚"。其实质是:诗人使造型艺术的"形似"在诗歌艺术中做到"神似",并使读者通过"内摹仿"产生一种审美幻觉,从而实现造型艺术和诗歌艺术的交融与转换。

＂ Converting beauty into grace＂ is one of the important viewpoints of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing.It is based on the viewpoint which said that the plastic art was different from poetry art in essence. ＂ Converting beauty into grace＂ shows us that the plastic art and poetry art can be blended and converted.We can change delightful,appropriate,disimpassioned beauty into delightful,dynamic,lively grace.Poet make the ＂ be similar in form or appearance＂ of plastic art into ＂ be alike in spirit＂ of poetry art.In the meantime,it produces an aesthetic illusion to readers through a kind of imitation in spirit.
