从彩绘雕塑到单质雕塑——对古代雕塑审美趣味的一种历史性误会

考古发现表明,古希腊雕塑由于其社会和文化功能的需要,绝大多数都是着色彩绘的。由于历史和自然的因素,这些雕像的色彩大多丢失了。西方文艺复兴时期的单质雕塑的出现和审美趣味的形成是建立在对古代艺术的一种错误认识之上的,而这种古典趣味的规范一旦形成又对后来人们的雕塑观和创作产生了巨大的影响。

From polychromatic sculpture to simple substance sculpture-- A historical misunderstanding of the the ancient sculpture

Archaeological findings show that the most of ancient Greek sculptures were polychrome. But the color on the surface of these statues have been eroded by wind and rain over the years. In Renaissance, the practice of simple substance sculptures and the formation of the aesthetic appreciation of marble statue were based on a historical misunderstanding of the ancient sculpture, and what is more, as soon as this appreciation became established, it has produced a tremendous influence over not only the later sculpture making but also the notion of sculpture.
