Consequently,while some scholars shouted that “Art is dead”, art and beauty exist in the person’s lifeeverywhere, particularly modern art entering into human life, human body, and the public’sfield of vision. In seemingly artistic social life, people are packaged by all kinds of beautifulthings, following the continuously carnival and holiday celebrations, people pursue thebeautiful myth one by one constantly. But at the same time, the real problems are alsoappearing accordingly, such as the index of food danger increasing, divorce rate rising,suicide and parent-child cannibalism appearing. The social ethical issues emerge endlessly.High-grade packaged artwork can’t cover the empty and stupid eyes, can not conceal theemptiness boring or unhappy heart, even can not stop the bloody inhuman cruelty. So, todiscuss these social issues “life artistry” have emerged in recent years, being aimed at thereturn of the artistic and poetic survival life, and the improvement of the reality life.“Life artistry” was come up in20th century20-40s. It was collective result by a batch ofaesthetes and artists, such as Liang Qi-chao, Zhu Guang-qian, Zong Bai-hua and so on. It wasborn in the background of the turbulent era, the impact and integration of the culture betweenwestern and China and the social reality needs.“Life artistry” in essence is life aesthetics tofocus on the human realistic survival. It is aimed at influencing person’s life with beauty andart, constructing the meaning of life, cultivating human upward aesthetic feeling and completepersonality.

So advocating “life artistry” again is nota simple regression and restoring ancient way. We have a mind to put it rooted in real life andto avoid a vanity of detachment.“Life artistry” will possesses a new interpretation, if we consider art and life fromhuman’s innate characteristics, and consider human subsistence with the origin meaning of art.In that way,“life artistry” is a poetic creative activity, and pays comprehensive attention tohuman subsistence. Artistry based on the secular life, and in the mutual construction of art andlife, some kinds of secular life style and content is artistic and creative. Human’s integralsurvival are artistic exists originally. Certainly, it needs some practical approaches to makeoriginal existing life artistry appear more clearly, which will be mentioned in the paper. |
