摘要/Abstract

摘要： 前卫艺术全然不同于传统艺术的风貌即便对于艺术批评家来说也意味着巨大的挑战，在令他们为其作为批评家的身份感到焦虑不堪的情形下，一方面可能逼迫他们生产出具有开创性的批评理论，但另一方面也可能诱导他们炮制出虚妄不实的过度阐释。美国当代艺术批评家列奥·施坦伯格的“约翰斯赏析”或许就是这种现象的典型例子。经过详尽的剖析，可以看到这位曾经的形式主义批判者并没有真正走出形式主义理论的统治阴影，根本原因则在于他仍然像他所批判的格林伯格一样没有真正理解现代艺术之自我确证的内涵，而走出批评怪圈的可能性出路则在于对这一内涵的全新理解。

Abstract: The stylistic difference between the avant-garde art and the traditional proves to be a big challenge even to art critics. The pressure posed by the title of art critic may propel the critics to produce a pioneering theory or an over-interpretation. Over-interpretation may be exemplified by Leo Steinberg's appreciative analysis of Jasper Johns. After a close examination, the paper claims that Steinberg had not really stepped out of the dominating shadow of formalism. The essential reason for his failure lies in the fact that Steinberg failed in grasping the essential nature of self-authorization in modern art, and the paper maintains that a new understanding of the essential nature may lead to a possible way.

Key words: avant-garde art, Leo Steinberg, over-interpretation, Jasper Johns, self-authorization of modern art
