艺术何为?这是一个老生常谈的话题,古人有“成教化,助人伦”之说,近百年前,蔡元培先生在西方美学思想启发下提出了“以美育代宗教”的观点,影响甚广。这两种观点都是对艺术社会功能所作的不同层面阐释,是从接受者的角度来审视艺术。然而,对艺术家而言,澄怀悟道、游艺抒怀却是一种自我心性修为的重要方式。这种从自我的心性出发所延伸出的艺术创作,更为真诚而可贵。唐家路教授的花鸟画创作,既是源发于个人的性情所好,又结合了自己的学识修养,在师古学今的基础上,富有重情趣、写逸气的艺术气象,格调清隽、内涵有意。当下我们的一些文艺创作,无论观念还是形式,媒介还是语言,无不受到西方强势文化的影响,本土 What is art? This is a topic of clichés. The ancients said that “in the past, a hundred years ago, under the inspiration of Western aesthetics, Mr. Cai Yuanpei put forward the idea of” replacing religion with aesthetic education " Very influential. Both of these views explain different aspects of the social function of the arts and examine the arts from the perspective of the recipient. However, for artists, Cheng Huai enlightenment, entertainment is a kind of self-cultivation of self-nature of an important way. This kind of artistic creation that extends from the self-centered nature is more sincere and valuable. Professor Tang Jialu’s flower and bird painting creation is not only originated from his personal temperament, but also combines his own knowledge and accomplishments. On the basis of the ancient teachers’ studies, he is full of fun and writing artistic temperament, Connotation intention. At present, some of our literary and art creations, regardless of concept or form, media or language, are all influenced by the strong western culture.
