性别权力的展示与对抗--论镜子在女性题材油画中的象征与隐喻

The Display and Confrontation of Gender Power:On the Symbol and Metaphor of Mirror in Female Oil Painting

从《梳洗的维纳斯》到不具名的持镜少女,油画中的“对镜”题材反映了画家们的审美心理共鸣。在以女性为主体的肖像画中,镜子充当了微妙的工具--画面中的镜子不仅是女性的装饰品,还是让观众遍览女子的附加屏幕,更是画家让被画者成为“观看者”的隐蔽手段。经过镜子的处理,女性形象的景观化进一步加深,女性地位也受到一定改变。与此同时,油画本身就像反映社会生活的一面镜子,在观看油画中的镜子时,人们的性别观念亦可依稀窥探。

From Venus in Toilet to unnamed girls holding mirrors, the subject of "mirror" in oil paintings reflects the aesthetic psychological resonance of painters. In portraits with women as the main body, mirrors act as a subtle tool--not only an ornament for women, but also an additional screen for the audience to see all over women, and it is also a hidden means for the painter to make the painted person become "the viewer". After the processing of the mirror, the degree of female image as a spectacle further deepened, the status of women also has been changed. Meanwhile, oil painting itself is like a mirror reflecting social life. When watching the mirrors in the oil painting, people’s gender concept can also be glimpsed vaguely.
