对书法生命意象的阐释

An Interpretation of the Vital Imagines in Chinese Calligraphy

书法不是图画,不可能用具体形象来表现生命力,只能通过抽象的文字符号使之成为象征人格的生命,从而使接受者打破心理上静止的平衡状态,在信息流中涌起情感浪花,获得生命活力的美感。而要唤起生命活力,必须在文字符号的基础上,注入书家主体的生命意识,使字“变调”转换为有个性的情感符号,成为审美信息。

Traditional Chinese calligraphy is a little different foom painting whic h can display vitality with vivid figures.However,the former tends to achieve a sense of vital beauty by personified abstract logographs which will break the tranquil mental balance of the passive audience and move them with some symbolic meanings.Actually,only when the calligraphic aryists integrate their handwritings with a sense of their subjective vitality and qualifications can they transform the motionless linear writings into individualised emotional symbols full of the artists'aesthetic interests.
