试探16至20世纪初西方对中国艺术趣味的接受

On the Western Acceptance and Interpretation of Chinese Art Taste from the 16th to the Early 20th Century

作为西方最重要的文化他者之一,中国艺术自16世纪起便成为西方关注的对象,西方对其评价也随历史文化语境的变化和自身发展的需要发生了鲜明的阶段性嬗变。通过系统梳理16至20世纪初西方接受和阐释中国艺术美学的基本历程,可以在具体的历史文化语境下探究中国审美趣味在数世纪中对西方的影响,并分析发生阶段性嬗变的历史缘由和文化逻辑。

As one of the most important cultural outsiders in the West, Chinese art has been the focus of the West since the 16 th century. The western evaluation of Chinese art has also undergone a distinct phase change with the development of historical cultural context and the needs of its own art evolution. By systematically sorting out the basic process of the Western acceptance and interpretation of Chinese art aesthetics from the 16 th to the early 20 th century, this paper aims to explore the impact of Chinese aesthetic on the West over the past centuries and analyze the historical reasons and cultural logic behind it.
