十七八世纪中国风与欧洲漆艺的流行

The Trend of Lacquer Art and Chinoiserie in Europe during 17th and 18th Centuries

中国风作为欧洲对中国传统艺术的反映与模仿,特别在装饰艺术上尤为突出,这些影响西方文化的装饰艺术中便包括了精美的中国漆器。随着中国及东亚与欧洲贸易的繁荣,这一席卷欧洲的中国艺术风潮自17世纪开始,到18世纪进入到鼎盛时期。与其时欧洲的罗可可艺术风格息息相关,彼此相得益彰。二种艺术风格均以华丽的装饰、扭曲的造型以及对材料的关注、程式化的自然与崇尚享乐的装饰题材为特色。正是17至18世纪之间,对中国漆家具的模仿在欧洲迅速兴起,使得中国漆艺成为欧洲漆艺发展与进步的重要灵感。

The Chinoiserie is the European interpretation and imitation of Chinese artistic traditions, especially in the decorative arts, including lacquer art. First appearing in the 17 th century, this trend was popularized in the 18 th century due to the rise in trade with China and East Asia. As a style, chinoiserie is related to the Rococo style. Both styles are characterized by exuberant decoration, asymmetry, focusing on materials, and stylized nature and subject matter that focuses on leisure and pleasure. In the 17 th and 18 th centuries Europeans began to manufacture furniture that imitated Chinese lacquer furniture. And it became the inspiration to improve the development of European lacquer and paint.
