重审艺术史及其方法论--论达弥施“云的理论”及其艺术史学意义

A Review of Art History and Its Methodology:On Damish’s “A Theory of Cloud”and Its Significance in Art History

20世纪后期以来,重新反思传统的艺术史书写成为艺术史研究的一个重要方向。达弥施"云的理论"正是以此为出发点,意在从方法论和观念两个层面去寻找一种新的艺术史阐释范式。就方法论层面而言,它以福柯的新历史观为依据,对传统的形式分析与图像学研究进行了深入反思,并将艺术史的潜力归结为符号学。就观念层面而言,它重新强调了物质性对绘画的重要性,进而打通了形而上的绘画性与形而下的绘画史,为打破艺术史书写中的"逻各斯中心主义"提供了契机。

Since the late 20 th century, reconsidering the traditional writing of art history has become a focus of art history research. Damisch’s "A Theory of Cloud" is exactly based on this, aiming to find a new paradigm of explanation of art history from the perspective of methodology and concept. In terms of methodology, based on Foucault’s new view of history, it deeply reflects on the traditional formal analysis and iconography, and concludes the potential of art history as semiotics. In terms of the concept, it reemphasizes the importance of materiality to painting, and thus opens up the metaphysical painting and physical painting history, providing an opportunity to break the logocentrism in the writing of art history.
