Chinese art and the Standard of Evaluation

 Lead: 30-year ebb and flow of contemporary art into the art scene gradually from a purely public view, but the value of the standard Chinese art has not been established, how should we evaluate a work of art is good or bad? Idiopathic this article, the reader is willing to discuss contemporary art value judgments problem.
evaluation of art are related to the development of the arts has never been the core issue, of course, the Chinese art of contemporary Chinese art as a development of a new system, but also need to establish and build their own system of evaluation system and the corresponding standard, as it relates to the development of Chinese contemporary art, art direction and the way the problem can be described as important and central issue.
in the study, we found that, for the evaluation of contemporary art, Chinese art may be mainly from the following four level to start: First, the spiritual level, that is, the evaluation of the cultural spirit; second value level, that is, a systematic review of the artistic value; third work level, that systematic reviews of the works; fourth level of technical means, that painting technique , skills evaluation practices. This multi-level cross-evaluation can be more objective and specific standards and reflect the state of their art.
1, the cultural spirit and the analysis and research evaluation
hundred years of Chinese art history we see a nation is how to use their tenacity and wisdom to continue to defend and enrich their own national cultural heritage and cultural spirit at the same time, we are more profound understanding of contemporary Chinese art development of historical significance, and we should bear history mission. through the centuries of Chinese art in the development of the red line extension of the dimension, how to stand in the spirit of Chinese culture on the horizon, and not lost in material things grow into the forest, how to understand the aesthetic of Chinese art in the promotion of the spirit of the Chinese nation pursue, and continue to the spirit of personal independence and the unity of the liberation of other major academic and practical issue is the century before us issues.
cultural self-confidence as strong as the fortunes of the time came to us gradually, culture The client had been politically marginalized, only a step towards people's social and economic life of the front desk. is decorated in the experienced and strategic considerations, people find more cultural spirit is a spiritual pillar of the state and nation and the soul. It seems in one night, became a cultural spirit of the label is affixed to all over the place, but what is the cultural spirit, the spirit of why the analysis and understanding of culture, but rarely studied under.
Changes in any case the spirit of Chinese art , should be the thrust of transmission of cultural spirit, the spirit of this culture is not a rigid concept of history, but a process of synchronization with the spirit of the times, so we are always observing oneself, reflection of social, spiritual home of aesthetic contemplation. the spirit of culture system development needs of the times, and only a good understanding of the cultural spirit, in order to better nurture and develop them. of deepening understanding of cultural spirit, the spirit of culture itself is an important advance training and promotion. To systematic analysis of cultural spirit, the spirit of Chinese culture to know that the ideal is true, the good, the United States; Second, we must understand the spirit of Chinese culture, the goal is the comprehensive development, including the human spirit of freedom and human liberation; Third, we must understand Chinese culture is a forceful character; Fourth, we should know the spirit of Chinese culture physique is above board; fifth to clear the spirit of Chinese culture is a unity of knowledge and practice means that the pursuit of the unity of body and soul, reality and the ideal of the unity of thought the unity and action.
pursuit of cultural awareness is a state, it is to survive in today's environment, and development of artistic creation is an important proposition. culture, there is a state, and cultural awareness is a pursuit, a kinds of values under exploration. continued diversification in the arts today, the reason why we revisit the concept of cultural awareness is to pay more attention to artistic creation and to explore how to avoid lost in the technology and the reality of the jungle, along the culture coordinates, but consciously active cultural spirit of the highlands toward the front line. only this, art can become a source of creation of the torrent. With the advances in technology and social development, culture and integration of the cross will continue to be cultural spirit, cohesiveness will determine a nation among the nations in the world able to stand long in the same spirit of this culture will determine the cohesion of a culture in the large field of vision in human development, how far.
2, the value of the system and evaluation criteria
material to meet the needs of the property is its value in use. Marx's difference: as a simple value in use (items to meet the needs of the people some kind of property), it can be the product of labor can also be a product of nature; as the use of the product value of labor, it must be the result of human labor on purpose; The use value as a commodity, it is not the product of labor, but useful, and must be useful items to others, that use value must be a community. Modern art is not natural objects, the purpose of art workers have the results of work, and must Most contemporary art is not for my enjoyment and entertainment, arts in order to satisfy the aesthetic needs of consumers have the spirit. Therefore, the use value of contemporary art is a social value in use.
contemporary art created on purpose as a human objects, many people have to meet the needs of the spirit of aesthetic properties, therefore, has a wide range of use value. use value is the natural attributes of contemporary art is a social one of the important spiritual wealth.
the use of contemporary art value is very broad, including: First, the value of social awareness. contemporary art through the creation of specific, vivid, as distinct aesthetic arts, performance, reproduction of the rich historical and real-life picture of the image to help people understand the life and times history of emotions, broaden their horizons, to make up for lack of experience, makes a peak during the aesthetic experience, and understand the many truths usually difficult to understand, to understand life and the meaning of life, human value and potential of digging, the distillation of the human pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty of the noble emotions, and guide people to the entire mankind and the ultimate value of the underlying situation, which greatly deepen the cognitive level, to reach a new understanding of height. The second is the value of ideological education. aesthetic has been reflected the artist's world view, social ideals, ethics standards, aesthetic awareness and aesthetic evaluation. good intentions of the rich aesthetic content, and artistic image of the noble objective brilliant character and charm, will make a great educational aesthetic power of images. Third, the value of emotional communication. Art art appreciation primarily consumer seek emotional satisfaction and enjoyment. people need emotional exchange, need to communicate and understand the need to respect and compassion, you need comfort and care, the arts feelings deep, rich, cohesion and emotional development of the ups and downs, layers of depth and emotion and King's blend of strong emotion caused by the atmosphere of aesthetic image of a huge emotional, spiritual communication and will have resonance, so that appreciation Concert-like emotions are met. Fourth, the value of aesthetic pleasure. aesthetic pleasure is the value of aesthetic image lead to the appearance of the aesthetic perception, aesthetic imagination of freedom, aesthetic emotion and aesthetic understanding of the dynamic nature of such non-conceptual together leaving the viewer to obtain curiosity satisfied, then the happy knowledge, compassion intoxication , desire to achieve a sense of emotional and other spiritual pleasure free feature that can improve people's aesthetic ability to foster good aesthetic taste, open-minded, elevated feelings. Fifth, the value of the spirit of Yi Yang. outstanding contemporary works of art people have the pleasure of the United States get to enjoy art, the swap of life are, in education, wealth of knowledge at the same time with entertainment and rest. Sixth appreciation for collection. outstanding works of art for collectors of the greatest value is to make it again and again, to appreciate these works of art when pleasure in the soul and spirit, in soul satisfied.
3, and value form the analysis of
general point of view, the value of contemporary art can be divided into five parts, the specific physical value, artistic value, cultural value, historical value, market value. Here, we will commence for these five areas were discussed.
(1) physical value
called physical value, contemporary art is embodied in the physical level, the value of the performance The major has two parts: First, the material works; Second, works of basic materials used. works of art creation in China, due to the weight of the physical value of the share of small, in general negligible, but This neglect does not mean there is no relevant value.
(2) artistic value
artistic value is the spirit of contemporary art to meet the social needs of the natural aesthetic properties, is the aesthetic value of the center of social and cultural value to the content A high degree of awareness of the value and emotional value of the spiritual unity of aesthetic value. aesthetic value is the core of artistic value, social and cultural value is the specific content of artistic value. First, the artistic value is a kind of aesthetic relations as the center, by the people and formed between the external object relationship between aesthetic practice, interwoven and integrated social and cultural, aesthetic value of the whole, is a kind of aesthetic value as the center, and a variety of social and cultural integration of the multi-value organic unity. Second, in the arts value, aesthetic value has penetrated into all levels of social and cultural values within. constitute the artistic value of each factor or the sense of hierarchy is not the same thing, but through aesthetic penetration, aesthetic modified a thing. For example, understanding of artistic value contains the value is different from the scientific understanding of epistemological value, but an art aesthetic epistemological understanding of value, which is the overall artistic value can be considered as the main aesthetic value or the intrinsic reasons. Once again, artistic value is essentially one way of the world to master the art form of expression. artistic value is the main spirit of the aesthetic needs of the objective and the object world aesthetic relation between aesthetic properties and the aesthetic practice of consciously crystallization; is human ways of the world for the use of arts and aesthetic awareness to grasp the dialectical unity of the product master; understanding of human artistic experience and transform the world results; is the practice of social history of human populations based on the human nature of the artistic object .
as previously revealed by analysis of the art aesthetic value inherent in the spirit of consumption and the corresponding value in a certain cultural orientation and the academic evaluation system, embodied in the use value can be referred to as artistic value. artistic value of most The key is in the following areas: 1) the nature of aesthetic value; 2) has the spirit of the proper use of the aesthetic value of consumption characteristics; 3) the value of the academic level characteristics, such as language, technology and performance practices of the Exploring and reflect the originality, etc..
(3)
cultural values embodied in works of art of cultural evolution and development background, culture, spiritual and cultural position, and the culture should be the pursuit of such feelings and may constitute the Chinese cultural value of contemporary art works of art. Specifically, the study of cultural values, we pay more attention to: 1) the position of cultural spirit and culture; 2) cultural expression and cultural forms, such as the various ceremonies and rituals performance, etc.; 3) cultural taste and cultural style; 4) on the cultural background of the show and performance.
(4) historical value
Overall, the historical value of works of art include: First Works itself carry the history of ancient calligraphy and paintings, such as speaking in terms of subject matter or from the author, the historical material for both a location and bearing; the second is the historic value of that work, although not ancient, but works subject matter, themes and performance techniques such as historic, leaving the value of their produce. Here, when we study the historical value of work, when more attention: 1) the history of space-time load level, which is the most direct historical value embodiment; 2) works of art shown by the historic, such as subject matter, themes and techniques, etc.; 3) embodies the aesthetic sense of history, although not mentioned in the previous two aspects of the performance of the underlying value, but in artistic creation and able to reflect the aesthetic in the sense of history, in many cases also constitute the historical value of works of art.
(5) market value
artistic value of works of art created for their use value, and the existence of use value has led to the production of market value. The market value of the market because of their participation in the appropriate behavior and to make it more complicated. In addition to works of art that has true value, there were in the market price formation process, and some Value of non-recognition, this phenomenon can reflect on the performance of the value can also be reflected in the price formation mechanism. In this regard, can be called the shadow value or shadow price. on the market value of the analysis, we can emphasis on the three levels: 1) the market value of market positioning and perceived value too much attention to the formation mechanism of the market; 2) the diversity of the market price and its performance; 3) non-market factors in the formation of a variety of Alienation and the Pan phenomenon and status.
, of course, works of art analysis and determine the price at this level is difficult when more rational analysis, but we use the method of analysis and systems analysis to study this problem, the purpose is to establish a for the reference model, so that attention and participation of contemporary Chinese art for art's investors have more analysis tools and methods reference. This is the starting point of this work, though just beginning, but very necessary.
now China is building art into the value system, but also incomplete specifications. artworks still confusion of values, the production system is still not in place because the reform is not reasonable and to the works of art production, circulation and distribution is also a lack of intensity of supervision, regulation system and decision-making system constraints on the industry, guidance, regulation, norms are relatively weak. Construction of the value system of contemporary art will be effectively promote the art of production, strong art market to promote the prosperity, health, and greatly improve the quality of people's thinking accelerate the construction of the rapid development of culture.
4, the classic example of the evaluation and
enter the new century, accompanied by the Chinese art market has made considerable fortunes in the enhanced development. even in the global financial crisis spreading the spring of 2009, the Chinese art market has maintained a good momentum of development, although it can not be said to be thriving, but its performance has been enough to make one worth noting. First of all, the research on the Chinese art market continues to strengthen, with a case study of the nature of authority in the art market has strong research system works gradually carried out, such as the Ministry of Culture, a; Finally, the future value of artists and their works assessment, and whether the market value of classical knowledge, has as been a major research focus.
(1) the evaluation on the classic can be said
How comprehensive consideration of the market and their works is worthy of our high along the Chinese culture to focus on the important issues and mining, because the Chinese art market is more than ever need to classical and model. The question is, whether the classic or example, needs assessment, and evaluation need a standard, the standard required by academic and market knowledge to determine, not mandatory. for best classical contemporary Chinese art works of the evaluation criteria, we can from the following aspects to examine: 1) flavor of the times, fully embodies the spirit of Chinese culture; 2) to highlight the aesthetic taste of Chinese art, with high artistic value, cultural value, historical value, physical value and market value; 3) reflect the image of advanced culture, In a new form of artistic expression, in the presentation content to reflect the present human spirit; 4) and the aesthetic and cultural standards of the contemporary world, works of art expression, methods and materials, etc. and create something.
(2) on Evaluation of a model for contemporary Chinese artists
model research is needed to explore the broader level, specifically in the following levels: 1) the transformation process of Chinese aesthetics, contemporary Chinese artists the courage to create, to explore the Chinese painting the contemporary, and constantly enrich and improve their artistic .2) in art, contemporary Chinese artists has always been concerned about the cultural awareness and focus the spirit of Chinese culture, and spiritual insights in cultural personality and spirit of the times to achieve the perfect combination form a unique artistic individuality and aesthetic experience .3) With the implementation of the strategy and the national cultural center of the eastward shift of world culture, the value of classical knowledge is becoming a trend, the market will further boost the contemporary classic in contemporary Chinese artists the importance of cultural development and status of .4) self-discipline and relentless pursuit of the art establishment of the contemporary Chinese artists the ability to create enduring, this is their positioning and market positioning of academic open a vast space.
In addition, the study itself is an established and discovery process. the moment, the operation of the Chinese art market, the research is not much, but a serious shortage. We sincerely hope to establish in this study based on the rational spirit can shine the healthy development of China's art market, so that more of the outstanding works of art, the classic good platform for artists to market, but also allow more collectors and art market participants realized that the classic value perception, leaving artistic value rather than The value of art in the flash market operations.
