艺术学理论框架中艺术史研究的立场与目标

The Standpoint and Aim of the Study of Art History in the Framework of Art Theory Studies

作为艺术学理论整体中的一部分或一个视角,艺术史研究必须围绕艺术学的根本问题而展开,必须为解决艺术学的根本问题而服务,因而必须以艺术创造为研究的核心。古今艺术史研究处于不断成长的过程之中,无论传统的门类艺术史还是目前的艺术社会史研究,各有其片面性,都属于片面的真实;基于艺术学立场将艺术史区分为内部研究与外部研究,也只是相对而言的。直接考察人类艺术创造活动过程及其规律的艺术史内部研究,应充分考虑其与人类社会生活及自然生活诸方面的内在联系;从人类社会生活及自然生活诸方面来考察艺术的艺术史外部研究,应自觉为全面、深入理解人类艺术创造活动及其规律做贡献。唯其如此,艺术史研究才能够成长为整体研究,成为对人类艺术创造整体而全面的把握。

As a part or a perspective of art theory studies, the study of art history must focus on the basic issues of art studies and their development, must address the fundamental problems in art studies, and must regard artistic creation as the core. Both ancient and contemporary studies of art bistrory are situated in the process of development, therefore, the research for either traditional categorized art bistrory or present social bistrory of art is biased because of the one - sided truth. It is, however, a relative definition, to divide art bistrory into internal and external studies, from the view of art theory studies. The internal study of art history, which investigates directly into human artistic creation process and its rules, should consider thoroughly the inner relationship between the study and various aspects of the social and natural lives of human society. The external study of art history, which investigates arts through various aspects of human social and natural lives, should consciously contribute to the comprehensive and deep understanding of human artistic creation and its rules. This is the only way the study of art bistrory can evolve into a holistic research, which can com- prehensively and holistically master human＇s artistic creation.
