西方艺术从古希腊时代到今天,历经数千年的漫长历史,形形色色的文化现象一直不绝如缕。自十九世纪末二十世纪初开始,西方艺术作品对“丑”题材光明正大的采用与表现呈现出一种态势:美学思潮开始从审美转向审丑。丑,这一历来为人们所唾弃、隐藏、压制、异化的形态终于得以崛起和独立,甚至似乎有超越美地位的趋势。本文通过对不同时期,不同的文化氛围下的艺术作品的梳理,发现“丑”经历了被排斥,依附于美、发展到与美携手共同发展,再到逐步崛起而独立于美之外的一个漫长、复杂、艰辛的演变过程。 Western art from the ancient Greek era to today, after thousands of years of long history, all kinds of cultural phenomenon has been inexhaustible. Since the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, Western art works have shown a trend toward the fair use of “ugly” themes: the aesthetic trend started to turn from aesthetic to ugly. Ugly, a pattern that has always been cast aside, hidden, repressed and alienated by people, has finally emerged and become independent, and even seems to have a tendency to surpass the status of the United States. Through the combing of works of art in different periods and different cultural atmosphere, this article finds that “ugly” has been excluded, attached to the United States, developed into the hand in hand with the United States to develop together, and then gradually rise independent of the United States A long, complicated and arduous evolutionary process.
