On the Dilemma and Potential of Nostalgia in Modern and Contemporary Arts
"Nostalgia"in the Western contemporary art world,has long been subject to critical scrutiny and neglect.However,the contemporary psychological research has suggested that nostalgia is a kind of complex emotion that serves the psychological needs of the present,with its core structure of"juxtaposition between the present and the past",which is characterized by a mix of pleasure and pain.It can either have a positive psychological impact or potentially cause negative psychological,or even physiological effects on nostalgic individuals.This complexity allows nostalgia to play a role in artistic creation that extends far beyond"limiting the work to a portrayal of the good old days",serving as a creative drive that fosters the creativity by stimulating"the openness to the experi-ence",and thereby it expands the experiential range of both artists and audiences in terms of emotional engagement and rational in-quiry.
