抽象艺术的意义生成及其阐释范式——以夏皮罗的抽象艺术论为中心

Abstract Art’s Meaning Generation and Interpretation Paradigm:Centered on Shapiro’s Abstract Art Theory

迈耶·夏皮罗是美国艺术史上的传奇人物,其有关抽象艺术的看法是启人心智的。他从抽象艺术产生的原因、与再现性艺术的关系以及抽象艺术的价值等几个方面论述了抽象艺术的意义生成,并就抽象艺术的阐释提出了自己的评判标准。在夏皮罗看来,抽象艺术是具有人性的,同时它的形式本身包含着某种秩序,其形式背后寄托着艺术家的个人理想和某种普遍性的价值。抽象艺术并不是无意义的,它的内涵要远比我们想象的更加丰富。

Meyer Shapiro is a legend in American art history,and his views on abstract art are inspiring.He discusses the meaning generation of abstract art from such aspects as reasons for abstract art,its relationship with reproducible art and the value of abstract art,and puts forward his own judgment criteria for the interpretation of abstract art.In Shapiro’s view,abstract art has human nature,its form itself contains a certain order,and its form embodies the artist’s personal ideal and a certain universal value.Abstract art is not meaningless,and its connotation is much richer than we have thought.
