藝術的真相－以「藝術的創造」、「藝術的自由」、「藝術的心靈」為主要論述暨自我創作論述

Abstract

筆者認為人對藝術的「信念」是促使人繼續製造藝術的原因，若人對藝術的信念不再存在，那就是藝術走入歷史的時刻了。因此，認識藝術的“真相”與 “信念”，瞭解藝術力量之真實面以創作“合理”的藝術，就是本論文「藝術的真相」理論方面的研究目的，也是特別給藝術創作者的思考。為使討論更為明確，筆者就“創作者”之角度選擇三個具體的項目－「藝術的創造」、「藝術的自由」及「藝術的心靈」。 筆者參考學者及藝術家對「藝術的創造」、「藝術的自由」及「藝術的心靈」之意見，構為第二章與第三章；此外，在論文的第四章是以基督徒之信仰的角度提出不同的見解，希望能就這三方面有更不同的討論。 在第二章與第三章所得的重要結論為，人如何緊抓“生命”，就更為“創造”所吸引，因為「創造」展現了生命的活力。人沒有完全創造的能力，卻能延續、發展並更新「生命的創造」。對一位藝術創作者來說，關於「藝術的創造」最緊要的認知就是：「你成為誰創造的傑作？你奉行誰的藝術真理？你延續誰的藝術創造？」選好信仰立場的藝術創作者，就能創作出明朗而實際的藝術作品。如果創作者選擇明確的信念，解決「人的存在」與「人的目的」疑問，以藝術追求「自由解放」或「新創造」就不一定是必須的。藝術的心靈會自動地圍繞於「自然」所指的暗示裡，在藝術中尋求「自然」所暗示之其他的目的。 第四章以基督徒的角度更主觀地論及這三個藝術論題，筆者的結論為：藝術的心靈必傾向「自然」，若為傾向自然的藝術設立其追求目標，最佳的目標就是「美」。自然中雖有「生命」或「自由」為其內涵，試圖藉著“藝術”欲獲得「生命」或「自由」是難以達成的，因為其“道路”不在於藝術這條路，聖經啟示「基督耶穌」才是達到生命、自由的“道路”。 筆者的創作實踐寫於第五章。創作開始於向「自然」敞開的藝術心靈，並在自然中得著「生命」、「供應」與「享受」，期盼產生「美」為作品欣賞之結果。將觀者的目光引向「神」是筆者的創作目的，乃是藉由觀看具神性特徵的「自然」引導人“接近”或“尋找”神。

The writer thinks that people’s "convictions" to the art is the reason that urges people to continue to make art. If the convictions no longer exist , it will be the time when art becomes history. Therefore , understanding "true facts", "convictions" of art and the reality of art strength ,and creating a reasonable art are the purposes of this thesis －"the true facts of art". It particularly gives the art creators some thinking about art. To make the discussion more explicit, the writer chose three concrete items from the point of view of " creators" --"the creation of art", " the freedom of art " and "the mind of art". The writer discusses some scholars and artist's opinions to "the creation of art", "the freedom of art" and "the mind of art"，which is in chapter 2 and chapter 3.In addition，the writer also puts forth various views from the point of view of the Christian's faith in chapter 4 ,hoping to have a wider discussion. The important conclusions of chapter 2 and 3 is how people hold "life" tightly .It is attracted by "creation" because "creation" shows the vitality of life. People do not have the ability to create everything, but can continue, develop and renew "the creation of life". To an art creator, the most important cognition of "the creation of art" is "Whose masterpiece do you become? Whose art truth do you pursue ? Whose art creation do you continue?" The art creator who has chosen a position can create a clear and actual art work. If the art creator chooses explicit conviction and solve questions of "human existence" and "the purpose of humanity" , it is not necessarily to pursue "free liberation" or "new creation" through art. The mind of art will by itself surround the allusion of “nature”, looking for the other purposes which nature suggests in the art. In chapter 4 , the three art subjects are discussed more subjectively from the point of Christians’ view. The conclusion is: The mind of art necessarily inclines to "nature" .If we want to establish a target for art inclining to natural , the best target would be " beauty". Although in the nature there is "life" or "freedom" as its content, trying to acquire "life" or "freedom" through art is hard to reach. Because art isn't the road, the Holy Bible apocalypse is that " Jesus Christ " is the " road" to reach life and free. The fulfillment of creation is written in chapter 5.The art works begin from the open mind to nature, acquire "life", "supply" and "enjoyment" in the nature, and expect to produce "beauty" as the result of appreciation. Leading the vision of viewers toward "God" is the purpose of the writer. By watching the "nature" of divine characteristic , the writer leads people to "approach" or "look for" God.
