平面性是绘画实现自足,并区别于其它艺术门类的独特因素。现代主义绘画要摆脱“文学性”的干扰以取得艺术的独立地位,就必然朝向平面性。然而,当格林伯格评论康定斯基纯粹平面化的抽象画时,却又严词贬低。因此,本文试图梳理出格林伯格所强调的现代主义绘画平面性的确切内涵,以此弄清其中的评判标准。 Flatness is a unique element of drawing that is self-contained and different from other art genres. To get rid of the interference of “literary ” and obtain the independent status of art, modernist painting inevitably leads to its flatness. However, while Greenberg commented on Kandinsky’s purely graphic abstraction, he narrowly belittled it. Therefore, this article attempts to sort out the exact connotation of the flatness of modernist painting emphasized by Greenberg in order to find out the criteria for the evaluation.
