当代艺术的“真实”“力量”和“卓越”——以赵汀阳的一篇影评为线索的分析

A Discussion on “Reality”, “Power” and “Excellence” of Contemporary Art: From a Film Review by Zhao Tingyang

2004年赵汀阳在《读书》杂志上发表了题为《可可西里的最后一枪》的一篇影评,文中提出,如何使艺术作品呈现出"真实"并"有力量"的美,这一点很重要,它触及了这个时代一个重要的美学观点问题。在美术领域,蒋兆和的《流民图》等作品,也阐释了"真实""公共性""力量""卓越"等艺术批评关键词。结合这些作品的分析,可以说,艺术作品要观照生活、关注人类命运,摒弃表面的琐屑和虚饰,揭示生活本质真实,通过"真实"获得"公共性",从而获得"力量",进而追求艺术作品的"卓越"品质,使这种力量外化为强大的艺术感染力。

In 2004, Zhao Tingyang published a film review entitled "The Last Shot of Hoh Xil" in the magazine "Dushu". In the review, he proposes that it is important to know how to make the work of art display the beauty of "reality" and "power", which touches the aesthetic point of this era. In the field of fine arts, Jiang Zhaohe’s "Refugees" and other works also interpret the key words of art criticism, such as "reality", "publicity", "power" and "excellence". Based on the analysis of these works, it can be said that art works should pay attention to life and human destiny, abandon the superficial trivia and hypocrisy, reveal the real nature of life and obtain "publicity" through "reality", thus obtain "power" and then pursue the "excellent" quality of art works. As a result, this power can be externalized into a strong artistic appeal.
