试论春秋至汉代玉器风格的演变

1975年,Max Loehr为Fogg艺术博物馆有关Grenville L.Winthrop的中国古玉收藏编写了一本图录[1]。在绪论中,详细探讨其所定义的'plastic curls'。文中从典型纹样(即今日习称的谷纹)出发,追溯其风格来源以及接续的演变序列,认为公元前8前1世纪之间(约为春秋至西汉),此纹样共可分为12个有序的风格变化[2]。Max Loehr的分析方法以及结论在今日看来仍深具启发性。而四分之一世纪已过.

The paper tries to interpret jade objects of the Spring and Autumn Period to the Han Dynasty with the perspective of style analysis theories and vision psychology.It seems that the development of jade objects can be divided into two stages:the group-style stage and the individual-style stage.The latter can be further divided into two phases:the single-viewpoint phase and the multi-viewpoints phase.Jade objects shared similar styles with contemporary artworks.This is not because that they conveyed the same spirit of their time.The real reason of the similarity might be the similar courses of art education and the imitation of similar art models.
