还是在师从史岩教授学习中国雕塑史的时候,我就强烈感觉到,雕塑与人类历史、文化的联系比较起其他的艺术门类更为特殊,例如,当我们为人类历史的某个时代、某种文化类型寻找一种象征物的时候,常常会选择雕塑。作为一种三维空间的艺术形式,雕塑更接近生命的直观,它的空间存在方式,更能够抗衡时间无情的流逝,使它能更好印证在某个时间段里人的生命和思想。令人遗憾的是,有着几千年不断雕塑历史的中国,在理论上一直属于文艺学科中的弱势群体。世界上就统一的国家而言,还没有哪个国家像中国这样 When I was still learning the history of Chinese sculpture from Prof. Shi Yan, I strongly felt that the relation between sculpture and human history and culture was more special than other art categories.
