艺术中的直觉抽象——朗格、卡西尔的抽象论

一般认为,抽象和直觉是对立的。卡西尔认为,艺术抽象和科学抽象是互逆的:前者是一个不断具体化的夸张的过程,后者是一个不断凝缩的过程。在卡西尔学说的基础上,朗格把抽象和直觉统一起来,从艺术发生学的角度进一步研究后认为,直觉中蕴涵着逻辑经验,直觉是一切抽象的开始。艺术中的抽象是直觉抽象。尽管艺术离不开这种抽象,但抽象在艺术中仍居次要地位。

The Intuitive Abstract in Art:Langer and Cassirer's Theory on Abstract

It is generally thought that abstract and intuition are opposite. Langer combines the two concepts on the basis of the theory of Cassirer. Cassirer holds that art abstract and science abstract are converse: The former is a continual process of concretion and exaggeration while the latter is a process of continual compression. After a further research from the perspective of the culture anthropology, Langer thinks that intuition contains logic experience, which as the resource of all kinds of abstract, and the abstract in art is intuitive abstract. Abstract is indispensable to art, but it is secondary in art.
