近几年,随着社会改革的深化,“与世界接轨”这个词语的使用频率越来越高。一个带根本性的问题是,世界是否存在这个“轨”?在科技、经济领域,由于西方发达国家在这些方面先进,而且他们的一些方法、规矩、标准等等已在国际上通行,这种“轨”我们是应该“接”的。然而艺术领域不存在这条轨,艺术的优劣与经济发达与否没有必然的同步关系。美术是一种精神产品,它的产生与具体的文化背景等等有着更为密切的关联。东西方各有自己的文化传统,不同国家各有自己的社会体制和意识形态,不可能定出一条同样的“轨”。就拿绘画来说,先别说我们的中国画与西洋的油画在观念、制作以至鉴赏等诸多方面都存在着相当大的差异,即便是由西洋传进来的油画,也很难达到认识上及追求上的一致。所以“接轨”在实践上是没有意义的,在理论上还容易造成误导。鉴此有必要做些清理工作。 第一,在艺术上使用“与世界接轨”的提法,客观上就会落入欧洲中心论或者说西方中心论的阴影。这里的“世界”,往往是指西方经济发达国家。欧洲近代的勃兴,使之以强者的目光睥睨世界,一切以自身为中心予以观察和衡量,形成了欧洲中心观念。进入现代东西分野,自然又形成了西方中心的论调。 In recent years, with the deepening of social reforms, the term “in line with the world” has been used more and more frequently. A fundamental question is whether there is this “track” in the world? In the fields of science and technology and economy, as the developed western countries are advanced in these fields and some of their methods, rules and standards have been internationally adopted, this “Rail” we should “pick up.” However, there is no such track in the field of art. The pros and cons of art are not necessarily synchronized with the developed economy or not. Art is a spiritual product, its production and the specific cultural background, etc. are more closely linked. East and West have their own cultural traditions. Different countries each have their own social system and ideology. It is impossible to draw a similar “track.” Take painting as an example, let alone say that there are considerable differences in concept, production and appreciation between the Chinese painting and the Western painting. Even oil paintings imported from the West can hardly achieve understanding and pursuit On the same. So “convergence” in practice is meaningless, in theory, can easily lead to misleading. It is necessary to do some cleanup. First, the use of the term “in line with the world” in art will objectively fall into the shadow of Eurocentrism or Western-centered theory. The “world” here often refers to the economically developed countries in the West. The development of Europe in the modern era made it possible to observe and measure everything with its strong eyes and observe and measure itself as the center of Europe and formed the concept of a European center. Into the modern east-west division, naturally formed the Western Center of argument.
