传统与现代的互融——叶浅予与珂弗罗皮斯的民族学研究

Integration of Tradition and Modernity:the Ethnological Research of Ye Qianyu and Miguel Covarrubias

本文梳理了叶浅予和珂弗罗皮斯在20世纪三四十年代作为民族学研究的绘画作品,分析存在于这些民族题材中的“现代形式因素”,探讨叶浅予如何对珂弗罗皮斯的民族学研究进行本土化改造和创新。这种民族学研究方法在叶浅予日后的艺术道路中持续地发挥着作用,尤其是1942年叶浅予苗区考察的过程中,从描绘民族生活到聚焦民族歌舞,通过记录式速写的方式对民族形式进行采集和提炼,丰富了中国人物画的题材和语言,创造了一种具有民族形式的现代中国画样式。
