中国近代美术史中的决澜社

View on the Juelanshe in Chinese Modern Art History

决澜社是中国近代美术史上最早引进西方现代艺术的团体,它在中国近代美术史上掀起了一股学习西方现代艺术的风潮,在形式与内容上均有较大的探索。决澜社成员试图用现代主义美术的武器来改造陈旧的中国美术,为中国美术注入西方现代意识,用人文主义的精神来唤醒那个衰败的中国社会,但是,将西方现代艺术与决澜社简单对接,缺少了真正的西方现代主义的语境,所以真正的革命就无法展开,最终因无法与民族危亡与传统艺术的强大力量相抗衡而逐渐消亡。不过,无论其是否产生了真正的新艺术,决澜社都开启了近代中国早期视觉现代性的启蒙,成为西方现代艺术的中国起点。

Juelanshe is the earliest introduced western modern art group in Chinese modern art history,and it starts the trend of learning western modern art in Chinese modern art history,which has significant exploration on both form and content.Juelanshe members try to use modern art to change old Chinese art,infuse western modern characteristics into Chinese art,and then awaken the old Chinese society with the spirit of humanism.Whereas,the simple combination of western modern art and Juelanshe lacks of western modernism context,thus the real revolution can＇ t be developed.Eventually,it will disappear because of failing to contend against national crisis and traditional art.However,whether it produced new art or not,it is the enlightenment of early modern Chinese visual modernity and the Chinese origin of western modern art.
