重思传统:跨历史与跨文化视角的中国美术现代化研究断想

Reflection on Tradition:A Study on the Modernization of Chinese Art from a Transhistorical and Transcultual Perspective

在相当长一段时间内,不少人将传统与现代视为二元对立的关系,并较多地从革新派角度去思考问题,但近些年来,这种情况有较大的改变。本文从“传统”入手来谈中国美术现代化进程,分为基于全球化背景下的传统“自觉”、传统的再发现和重构,以及“传统”的跨国连接与转换3个部分。通过“跨历史”和“跨文化”的视角,呈现置身20世纪政治与文化变革洪流中的中国艺术家借古开今、在中外文明交流互鉴中推进艺术探索的努力,也对应某些在传统与现代张力关系中探寻中国美术现代化之路的研究。

For a long period of time,many people have viewed tradition and modernity as opposite ends,and have thought about issues from a reformist perspective.However,this has changed significantly in recent years.Based on"tradition",this article analyzes the modernization of Chinese art in three parts:the"awareness"of tradition in the context of globalization,the rediscovery and restructuring of tradition,and the transnational connection and transformation of"tradition".From transhistorical and transcultual perspectives,it presents the efforts of Chinese artists who drew on past experience to explore new ways and promoted artistic exploration in the exchanges and mutual learning between Chinese and foreign cultures in the torrent of political and cultural changes in the 20th Century,it also has something in common with research in the way of modernizing Chinese art between tradition and modernity.
