赵之谦《异鱼图》的奇趣

The Peculiarity in Bizarrerie Fishes of Zhao Zhiqian

赵之谦的《异鱼图》因描绘的内容和方式突破了19世纪传统艺术史的普遍经验而成为一种"奇趣",但究竟如何解释这种“奇趣”的来源,却已经超出了图像学与风格学的范畴,需要从晚清的现实环境和学术潮流中寻找线索,因为毕竟画家仅仅是赵之谦的一重身份,他同时还是学者与官僚。而且,如果我们将赵之谦的“奇趣”创造置于他的视觉经验和当时公私收藏的紧张关系下考虑,也将为我们思考他此时的题材创新及此后的笔墨创新提供新的角度。

Due to its content and the way of depicting,Zhao Zhiqians Bizarrerie Fishes made breakthroughs in the common patterns shared by painters of the 19th Century according to the traditional history of art,thus becoming a certain"peculiarity”.For his tripartite identity,that is to say,apart from a painter,Zhao Zhiqian is at the same time a scholar-bureaucrat,the answers to the peculiarity in Bizarrerie Fishesthercfore demand not only studies on the perspective of iconology and stylistics,but also a deeper research into the living environment and academic trend in the late Qi ng dynasty.Moreover,a serious consideration upon the peculiarity in Zhao Zhiqians creation in the context of his individual visual experience and its intense tension toward the public and private collections of his time,enables us to understand his pictorial innovation from a new point of view in terms of subject matters and also his calligraphic works after that.
