拟人·美感·象征——论《人生轮舞》中的舞蹈形象

Anthropomorphic, Aesthetic and Symbol: Research on Dance Image in a Dance to the Music of Time

《人生轮舞》是普桑在古希腊艺术拟人化观念的影响下,通过描绘拟人形象的舞者来表达其创作理念。舞者以世俗化的异教神祗形象呈现,体现了古希腊美学思想及文艺复兴时期宗教人物世俗化的艺术观念。普桑将“贫穷”“劳动”“富裕”“奢华”四种抽象概念按照人生的轨迹构成环形,采用观者容易理解、形象直观的圈舞来象征人生的“命运之轮”。《人生轮舞》不仅具有古典主义美学特征,而且蕴含着深刻的人生哲理。

Interpreting a Dance to the Music of Time is based on iconography theory. A Dance to the Music of Time is the influence of Poussin in the concept of “personification” of ancient Greek art, through the anthropomorphic dancers to express the artistic concept. The dancers are presented in the image of secularized pagan gods, embodying the ancient Greek aesthetic thoughts and the secularized artistic concept of religious figures in the Renaissance. Poussin combines “poverty”,“labour”,“riches”, and “luxury” into a circle with the life trajectory, using circle dance to symbolize the “wheel of fortune”. A Dance to the Music of Time not only has classical aesthetic characteristics, but also contains profound life philosophy.
