试论中西美术语言的异同及其蕴含的文化精神

On Differences and Similarities between Chinese and Western Artistic Languages and Their Respective Cultural Spirits

中西方绘画在总体上都追求形式美,但中国绘画倾向于表现性,西方绘画侧重再现。这种区别源于中国传统文化通过协调性的伦理意识来实现文化和社会的自我肯定,西方传统文化精神则是通过超越性的宗教教义意识来实现文化和社会的自我否定。

Both Chinese and Western paining and drawing are pursuing perfection,but Chinese painting is trending to expression while Western paining is trending to reproduction. This difference comes from that Chinese traditional culture achieves the self-certification of culture and society by coordinating ethics,while the Western traditional cultural spirit is to achieve the self-negation of culture and society by exceeding religious doctrine.
