图像学视域下徽州祖容像的文化阐释与艺术价值建构

The Cultural Interpretation and Construction of Artistic Value of Huizhou Ancestral Portraits from the Perspective of Iconology

徽州祖容像因用于徽州民间祭祀而出名,基于图像学视角,对现存的徽州祖容像从文化和艺术两方面进行分析,发现徽州祖容像包含徽州文化的显性基因和隐性基因,同时借助仪式空间与视觉符号展现文化内涵与历史价值。徽州祖容像在艺术价值建构中主要体现在三个方面,一是对传统技法进行了沿用与提升,二是受新安画派的影响与理论支撑,三是区别于皇家祖容像作画技法。

Huizhou ancestral portraits are famous for their use in folk sacrifice in Huizhou.Based on the perspective of iconology,this paper analyzes the existing Huizhou ancestral portraits from both cultural and artistic aspects,and finds that Huizhou ancestral portraits contain explicit and implicit genes of Huizhou culture.At the same time,they use ritual space and visual symbols to showcase cultural connotations and historical value.The Huizhou ancestral portraits are mainly reflected in three aspects in the construction of artistic value.Firstly,they inherit and promote the traditional techniques.Secondly,they are influenced and supported by the theory of Xin’an School of Painting.Thirdly,they are different from the painting techniques of royal ancestral portraits.
