中国造物艺术史研究中的核心问题——以包装艺术史的写作为例

Core Issues in the Study of the Chinese Creation Art History:Taking the Writing of Packaging Art History as an Example

造物艺术史研究之中只有赋予造物艺术史以某种新意义、新价值或者新答案的论著才称得上是具有启迪意义的论著。要做到这一点,既要求研究者必须具备良好的历史意识,更要求其在研究中把握好“源与流”“内容与形式”“历时性与共时性”“造物的因果律”等核心问题。这些问题不仅涉及能否准确把握人类物质文明发展的历史全貌,而且关乎人类历史发展动力和规律中复杂关系的揭示。造物艺术的历史,不只是物态的历史,还是一部与人有关的生产生活史。近年来,造物艺术史研究对这些问题和关系的探索,出现了两个引人瞩目的新变化:一是研究方式从描述转向阐释;二是研究视角从核心转移到了边缘。

In the study of the creation art history,only the achievement that endows the creation history with some new meaning,value or answers can be regarded as an enlightening work.To achieve this,researchers should not only have a good sense of history,but also grasp the core issues of“source and flow”,“content and form”,“diachronic and synchronic”,“causal law of creation”and so on.These issues are not only related to whether we can accurately grasp the historical panorama of the development of human material civilization,but also related to the revelation of the complex relationship between the driving force of human historical development and the law.The history of creation art is not only the history of physical state,but also the history of production and life related to human beings.In recent years,there are two remarkable new changes in the exploration of these issues and relations in the study of the history of creation art:first,the research method has shifted from description to interpretation;second,the research perspective has shifted from the core to the edge.
