西藏布画的现代转化——以大型唐卡《高原明珠》为例

Modern Transformation of Tibetan Cloth Paintings:Taking the Large-scale Thang-ga Plateau Pearl as an Example

自20世纪80年代以来,西藏美术界开展了一系列当代布画的创作、研究,本文通过对这一美术实践的回顾,对西藏传统唐卡、布面重彩画、新唐卡创作的起源及主题和审美形态的发展、演变作了简要梳理,探究了西藏布画从传统的神本思想向开放的人本精神的突破。文章以大型唐卡《高原明珠》为例,对作品的题材立意、风格技法、美学精神进行分析,指出西藏布画应当也必然在兼收并蓄中坚守中华优秀传统文化根脉,在开放包容中把握时代大势、在守正创新中实现当代美学表达,进而实现更高形态上的现代性转化。

Since the 1980s,the Tibetan art community has created and studied contemporary cloth paintings.This paper,by reviewing this effort,teases out the origin,themes and aesthetic development regarding the creation of traditional Thang-gas,heavy-color cloth paintings and new Thang-gas,and explores the breakthrough of Tibetan cloth paintings from traditional godbased thought to human-oriented thought.Taking the large-scale Thang-ga Plateau Pearl as an example,the paper analyzes its theme,style,techniques and aesthetic thoughts,and points out that in creating Tibetan cloth paintings,it is necessary to remain committed to excellent traditional Chinese culture while keeping an inclusive mindset,grasp the trend of the times while keeping an open mindset,and demonstrate contemporary aesthetics while upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground,so as to achieve a modern transformation at a higher level.
