写实主义绘画的境遇及其思考
Some Considerations on the Development of the Realist Painting
Abstract
写实主义绘画,尤其是西方写实主义绘画,曾经是人类美术史上最为辉煌的篇章之一。19世纪末之后,它受到摄影术、现代艺术的挑战,然而,它们不是写实主义绘画的"克星";以经济效率为核心的社会环境与片面的西方艺术"主流意识",才是写实主义绘画发展的真正阻碍。我国正在兴起的写实主义绘画,在西方文化思潮的冲击下,应对西方艺术的发展道路是否具有普遍性提出质疑,并立足本土来开拓写实主义绘画发展的空间。
The realistic painting in the Western country is one of the most splendid chapters in the history of fine arts . At the end of 19thcentury it faced the challenge of photography and modern Western arts, but both proved not to be the "killer". Instead the social context focusing on the economic efficiency and the onesided mainstream ideology dominating the contemporary Western arts were the real barrier for its development. The realistic painters in China should not hesitate at the crossroads. We should question the universality of the development of the Western arts and to enlarge the space for the
development of the realistic painting based upon the reality of our homeland.
