Theoretical Reflection And Artistic Response

Oppositing in traditional art, modern west art become so difficult to understand, is because in modern west society, people's mind situation and the esthetic idea had the radical change to be the result of. Therefore, must have the understanding to the modern west art, must first understand this kind of transformation the reason and its the essence. But Nietzsche's dionysus-view, may say is the modern westerner's mind situation and the esthetic idea rational expression, may cause us through it clearly to see to: As a result of traditional rationalism all sorts of malpractices, the people moved towards have made widely known the individual life the non- rational path; Because tool rational being in vogue, caused the traditional belief collapse but to be also homeless, therefore caught the tragic color; Because lacks consoling in the real life which should have, then transfers but explores the life and the cosmic inventory metaphysical significance. Obviously, makes widely known the individual life non- rational consciousness, exaggerates the social life the tragic color and the exploration cosmic inventory metaphysical significance, also has become the modern westerner mind situation and the esthetic idea basic characteristic. These three characteristics not only are inherit, moreover also not only is the modern westerner's psychological characteristic, also is the Nietzsche dionysus-view basic characteristic, is the western esthetic idea basic characteristic. If can embark by this, once made the modern west art which one understood with difficulty be possible to be easily solved.
