M (FJU 2019 入夏之後) - 無天地山水可回 遂回到六根六塵


起因是 Marion Milner  在她的最後一本書   Bothered by Alligators (2012)

However I slowly came to realise that it was not a question of me analysing him, but rather of his images analysing me. This meant that I had to go on with no idea where this undertaking was going to lead me.

一切是從那裡開始的

再者是因為  如果寫意(xieyi)是寄情於天地  放懷於山水 

Over the past 900 years, China has endured the ravages of wars, rule under suppressive autocracies, and nomadic conquerors. The written word was harshly censored while widespread traumas and dispossession prevailed. Successive generations of Wen Ren, or scholar-gentlemen, thus retreated to self-cultivation and, to evade political persecution, collectively fostered Xie Yi, or writing–mind painting, a culture of therapy expressing Daoist philosophy through imbued metaphors. Xie Yi, in essence, provides an evocative visual journey that joins the artist and viewer from trauma, fragmentation to the coherent widening of one's inner scene. This ultimately arrives at the Daoist ideal of integration with nature, where the individual returns to being elemental and authentic.

雖然我不確定  寫意的本意  是不是僅止於避禍於亂世  如果是的話

不寫也罷 

然後  這兩天  翻閱那本  史亡而後詩作  第六章講到林風眠 

Lin invoked the term shuqing as early as 1926, considering it the keyword to modernizing Chinese art. At the time, he had just returned to China after a six-year sojourn in Europe. While he was eager to introduce contemporary European trends, from late impressionism to expressionism and fauvism, he was already pondering the direction Chinese artists should take. For him, lyrical evocation constituted the core of Chinese aesthetics, as evinced by the spectrum of articulation from xieyi 寫意, or expressive-style painting, to multiple poetic and performing genres.

有趣的是 王德威論抒情 出發

I ague for rethinking lyricism critically in the postsocialist Chinese context, citing the treatises of two contemporary critics, Li Zehou and Kao Yu-kung 高友工 (1929-2016), as points of departure. (p. 25)
