Abstract
Alois Riegl’s essay “Die Stimmung als Inhalt der modernen Kunst” (1899) has been one of art historiography’s early attempts to bridge art and science. In this text, Riegl not only presents the background of some of his theoretical and methodological premises but he also provides an overarching argument for the way natural sciences af- fect modern spectatorship. In this way, he establishes the basis of a Kunstwollen for the ‘age of the natural sciences’ and describes its appropriate artistic traits. Addressing the intellectual and historical context of the Stimmung Essay, this article shows how Riegl’s ideas work in a subtle and intricate manner, involving the combination of sensual and phenomenological observations to modes of knowl- edge. In this respect, the relation of art and science does not seem to be settled on a fixed contemplative basis but on the combination of the art with cognition and affects.
阿洛伊斯·里格尔(Alois Riegl)的文章《现代艺术的激励》(Die stimmunals Inhalt der modern Kunst, 1899)是艺术史学早期试图将艺术与科学联系起来的作品之一。在这本书中,里格尔不仅介绍了他的一些理论和方法论前提的背景,而且还为自然科学影响现代观众的方式提供了一个总体论点。通过这种方式,他为“自然科学时代”奠定了艺术的基础,并描述了其适当的艺术特征。通过探讨《激励性散文》的知识背景和历史背景,本文展示了里格尔的思想是如何以一种微妙而复杂的方式发挥作用的,包括对知识模式的感性和现象学观察的结合。在这方面,艺术与科学的关系似乎不是建立在一个固定的静观基础上,而是建立在艺术与认识和情感的结合上。
