付曉東(以下簡稱 “付”)：我在觀察新時代里文人畫畫的狀況，或者說當代的知識分子畫畫跟職業(yè)畫家有什么不同，是一個有意思的現(xiàn)象，可能反而能看清職業(yè)藝術(shù)家的處境。文人和文人畫，技術(shù)和手法都已經(jīng)飽和了,再則怎么花樣翻新，都不能滿足藝術(shù)品鑒的需求了。

Fu: I am observing the state of literati painting in the new era, or how the contemporary intellectual’s paintings are different from professional painters. It is an interesting phenomenon, which may help us see the situation of professional artists clearly. Literati and literati painting as well as the techniques and skills are saturated, and no matter how they are refurbished, they cannot meet the needs of art appreciation.

王霖(以下簡稱 “王”)：畫畫的最終極狀態(tài),其實應該就是一個用畫筆當思考工具的狀態(tài)。而且勢必要對趣昧之外的更大問題有深度的關注,然后他的藝術(shù)才會突破一般藝術(shù)家。

Wang: The painting should actually be a state of using a brush as a tool for thinking. And it is bound to have a in-depth attention to the larger issues beyond taste, which makes the art tower over ordinary artists.

付：于是從畫的審美，發(fā)展到對人的審美上來了。

Fu: So it evolved from the aesthetic of paintings to the aesthetic of people.

王：以前只以為畫畫的最高理想就是技術(shù)和趣味的完美匹配,但其實沒有從藝術(shù)這個殼里突破出來,就永遠不可能回望自身的技術(shù)和趣味,并對這兩者作出恰當?shù)睦斫夂团?也就無法認識到什么樣的匹配才是完美的，而這個時候，匹配的完美，恰恰成副產(chǎn)品了，它不再是藝術(shù)的終極目標。

Wang: I used to think that the highest ideal of painting is a perfect match between technique and taste. But in fact, without breakthrough out of the art, it will never be possible to look back at the technique and taste, and to have a proper understanding and criticism of the both. Then it is impossible to recognize how to match perfectly. Moreover, the perfect match is just a by-product which is no longer the ultimate goal of art.

付：說得好,畫也不能完全在藝術(shù)史技術(shù)傳承和翻花的小細節(jié)上,而是要有更大的范式上的改變,問題意識和審美觀念上的自然而然的變化。真的走到最后,發(fā)現(xiàn)以前覺得要緊的問題,可能都并不是真正要緊的，語言突然成為副產(chǎn)品了。

Fu: Good point. The paintings can't completely focus on the technology inheritance of art history and the minor details of refurbishment, but there must be a greater normal change, and a natural change in the problem awareness and aesthetic concepts. When we really went to the end, we can discover that the problems important before may not be really that important. The language suddenly becomes a by-product.

王：中西藝術(shù)在不同階段的境界追求上并沒有截然的差別，每種文化傳統(tǒng)里都有偉大的藝術(shù)家在做著破繭而出的努力。那些能在形式、技術(shù)、趣味上做出大的突破的藝術(shù)家,必然在思想上是無法被藝術(shù)這個門類所局限或束縛的。

Wang: There is no complete difference in the pursuit of realm between Chinese and Western art at different stages. There are great artists in each cultural tradition who are making efforts to emerge from the cocoon.Those artists who can make great breakthroughs in form, technique, and taste must not be confined or constrained by the category of art in their mind.

其實文人畫是一種狀態(tài),但文人卻不是一個好詞。相比而言，今天的職業(yè)畫家當然在趣昧方面更不敏感,他們幾乎不思考問題。

In fact, literati painting is a state, but literati is not a good word. In contrast, today's professional painters are certainly less sensitive to the taste, and they hardly think about any problem.

付：那換個什么詞好呢?

Fu: What word should I change?

王：我只是個人的看法,因為這些年一直在講古代繪畫,也在想這個問題,文人畫和文人究竟意昧著什么。

Wang: It is just my own opinion. As I have been talking about the ancient paintings all these years, and I am also thinking about this question, i.e. what does literati painting and literati mean on earth?

付：是不是藝術(shù)高度成熟之后的發(fā)展趨勢呢，我一開始也是覺得職業(yè)藝術(shù)家目前被資本和市場所壓制,容易過分職業(yè)化了,反而失去了對更加存粹的本源探尋的驅(qū)力，反思得不夠清楚,就那么持續(xù)下去了。而文人畫畫的這種現(xiàn)象,可能更接近藝術(shù)本來的初衷。

Fu: Is it the development trend after the art is highly mature? At the beginning, I felt that the professional artists are currently suppressed by the capital and the market, and they are easily over-professional. They lose their drive to explore more pure origins, and don’t reflect clearly enough.The phenomenon of literati painting may be closer to the original intention of art.

王：藝術(shù)史是承認語言并且尤其承認語言的,而能提供藝術(shù)語言的真正活力者,怡恰來自不受專業(yè)局限的那些具有更豐沛深厚思想的藝術(shù)家,盡管他們可能并不一定會在其他領域作出與藝術(shù)領域同樣突出的成就，但藝術(shù)的真正滋養(yǎng)恰恰在其他領域。當然這是說那些偉大的人。

Wang: The art history recognizes the language and especially the language, and those who can provide the real vitality of artistic language are those artists who are not limited by their professionalism and have more profound ideas. Although they may not necessarily make the same outstanding achievements as art in other fields, the real nourishment of art is precisely in other fields. Of course this refers to the great people.

付：更像是一次逃逸,思想的承載也好,自我的疏解也好,為自已畫,懂的建立體系,而且又有太多要表達的東西積壓。

Fu: It’s more like an escape. Whether a carrying of thoughts or self-relaxation, they draw for themselves, build a system and have a backlog of things to express.

王：過去不理解何以文人畫家常說職業(yè)畫家胸中少千卷書,所以畫不好。后來明白了,書,不是為了點綴自己有文化,而是抵達精微的趣味并對藝術(shù)史有整體理解與把握的最重要的舟楫。

Wang: In the past, I didn't understand why literati painters often said that they couldn’t paint well because of lacking thousands of books in their minds. Later, I realized that reading books is not to embellish my knowledge, but to get a subtle taste, and it is the most important means to have an overall understanding and grasp of art history.

付：藝術(shù)的最大功用就是他的無為而為,不成而成,所有做作的為了創(chuàng)新而創(chuàng)新的狀態(tài)，無疑是如同“阿基里斯與龜”那個電影中的荒誕,而基于強大的思想體系的流溢和噴涌,才是時代凝結(jié)出來的創(chuàng)造力的精華。

Fu: The greatest function of art is nothing but for availability. All the artificial states of innovation are undoubtedly like the absurdity in the movie "Achilles and the Tortoise". However, the overflowing and gushing which is based on a powerful thought system is just the essence of creativity condensed by the times.
