摘要
在《绘画是什么?如何用炼金术语言思考油画》之中,美术史学家詹姆斯·埃尔金斯指出,绘画可被视为一种炼金术.二者都是以"水"和"石"为基础且发生在确切知识之外的工作.颜料具有炼金材料一般的神秘性,能够对画家手上每一个不被察觉的动作作出反应,并用色彩和纹理固定下最微弱的思想投影.这种性质使颜料在实践中有着自己的力量,也使得绘画不完全受控于理性的确切知识.因此,绘画对于画家来说就不仅是对颜料的掌控,而是一种与颜料"作斗争"的过程.这种"斗争"的目的则是捕捉那个从"颜料的材料性"到"题材的真实性"的"升华"瞬间.
Abstract
In his book What Painting Is?How to Think about Oil Painting,Using the Language of Alchemy,the art historian James Elkins points out that painting is very similar to alchemy.They are both based on'water'and'stone'and functioned outside scientific explicit knowledge.Paint has certain kind of mystery that alchemical materials possess,and this mystery makes it'a finely tuned antenna,reacting to every unnoticed movement of the painter's hand,fixing the faintest shadow of a thought in color and texture.'Paint therefore has its own power,and for painters,painting practice is a struggle with paint rather than simply controlling it.
