艺术是人的一种精神样式,是人在自我意识与超我意识之间形成的、与形上、宗教相并置的精神样式。离开对人的生命情感的展示,就没有所谓的艺术。这样,艺术家身份的根源,显然同艺术家本人的性别生理因素无关。这或许是我们不把男性艺术家的作品称为男性艺术的原因。艺术超越性别差异,因而是一种普遍之在。 ——查常平《身份的根源》 Art is a kind of spiritual style of human beings. It is a spiritual style formed by people in the sense of self-awareness and super-ego, which is juxtaposed with metaphysics and religion. There is no such thing as art without showing the emotion of human beings. In this way, the root cause of the artist’s identity is clearly not related to the artist’s own sex physiology. This may be the reason why we do not call the male artist’s work the masculine art. Art transcends gender differences and is therefore universal. - Cha Changping “identity of the root cause”
