艺术批评何以“定义”艺术

How to “Define” Art by Art Criticism

“何为艺术”目前一直未有明确定论,“为艺术下定义”也成为当代艺术批评界争论不休的经典话题。批评家们从“艺术是什么”逐渐转向了“艺术在何种情形中发生”的事件性判断,这一转变可将艺术生产过程明晰化。由此说明艺术现象涉及“艺术”与“艺术性”问题,两者是历史与审美的统一。艺术的历史问题在审美观照的艺术批评中不断展开,这使得“何为艺术”的艺术性反思重新定义艺术,并提供着艺术创作的价值命题与历史想象,也为何为艺术话题本身获得了更多阐释可能。

There is currently no clear consensus on“the nature of art”,and thus“how to define art”has become a classic topic of endless debate in contemporary art criticism.Critics have gradually shifted from“what is art”to the event detection of“how art comes about”,which can clarify the process of art production.And it indicates the phenomenon of art covers issues like“art”and“artistry”,both of which are the unity of history and aesthetics.The historical issues of art get a continuous unfolding in the aesthetic criticism,which have rendered a redefinition of art by the artistic reflection on“the nature of art”,provided value propositions and historical imagination for the artistic creation,and offered more possibilities for interpreting the art itself as well.
