巫鸿美术史研究的空间性内涵

The Spatial Connotation of Wu Hong’s Art History Research

《武梁祠:中国古代画像艺术的思想性》是巫鸿美术史研究的早期成果,通过对武梁祠千年学术史的考察,巫鸿以"中层研究"的方法重新对武梁祠石刻画像做出阐释。传统美术史研究注重视觉观念上的"图像"和"形式"两个核心概念,巫鸿则关注"空间"在美术史个案研究中的内在潜力和功能,通过重构一座单一的墓葬建筑探索其政治、宗教和思想含义。巫鸿利用"中层研究"的方法成功打通了武氏祠石刻画像的空间形式与汉代社会文化的联系,将武梁祠的研究转向更为具体的空间性向度。

Wu Liang Shrine:The Ideology of Early Chinese Pictorial Art is an early achievement of Wu Hong’s research on art history.Through the investigation of the thousand-year academic history of Wu Liang Shrine,Wu Hong reinterpreted the pictorial carvings in Wu Liang Shrine with the method of"mediating research".The traditional study of art history focuses on the two core visual concepts of"image"and"pattern",while Wu Hong stresses on the inherent potential and function of"space"in the case study of art history,and explores its political,religious and ideological meanings by reconstructing a single tomb building.He successfully connects the spatial pattern of Wu Liang stone carvings and the social culture of Han Dynasty by the method of"mediating research",turning the study of Wu Liang Shrine to a more specific spatial dimension.
