传记电影的虚与实:约翰·罗斯金形象勘误

Fiction and Reality in Biographical Films:A Review of the Images of John Ruskin

约翰·罗斯金是西方艺术史中一位杰出的思想家,他对推动艺术社会主义思潮转向提供了极为重要的理论基础。但当前广泛流行的关于他的传记电影、纪录片、短片却大都“无视”了传主作为艺术家、大批评家的形象,仅通过聚焦其人生丑闻戏谑这位道德先知。文章通过对其自传及各类他传的综合阅读,进而尝试相对公正、客观地向公众展示罗斯金的真实形象。

John Ruskin, a prominent thinker in the history of Western art, has provided an important theoretical foundation for promoting the socialist turn in art. However, the biographical films, documentaries and short films in regard to John Ruskin fail to pay attention to his images as artist and critic and focus only on the scandals of his life. This article reviews the autobiography and biographies regarding John Ruskin and presents his true images to the public in an objective manner.
