摘要
作为一名艺术评论家,克莱夫·贝尔一直受到与罗杰·弗莱相比较的影响。他不是画家,并声称不要去分析作品而是去欣赏它们。贝尔在布鲁姆斯伯里集团中是众人钦佩的对象,德斯蒙德·麦卡锡(Desmond Mc Carthy)认为'一直低估了贝尔在布鲁姆斯伯里创作中扮演的角色'。贝尔的名声让他在布鲁姆斯伯里的历史中被低估,他的著作或者生动的信件都没有收集和出版。尽管弗莱作为评论家取得了更大的成就,但他所写的内容都没有贝尔关于艺术的书影响广泛。
As an art critic,Clive Bell has always suffered in comparison with Roger Frye.He was not a painter and claimed not to analyze pictures so much as to appreciate them.Bell’s ability to admiration and enjoyment in Bloomsbury is second to none,and Desmond Mc Carthy believes that'impossible to overestimate the part played by him in the creation of Bloomsbury.'Bell’s reputation made him underestimated in the history of Bloomsbury,there is no collected edition of his works or his lively correspondence.Yet despite Fry’s greater achievements as a critic,nothing he wrote has as wide an influence as Bell’s book on art.
