摘要
在美国人追求文化独立的19世纪前期,哈德逊河画派以风景画为基础开创了具有美国特色的绘画风格。该画派不仅创作了大量令欧洲艺术评论家赞赏的绘画作品,而且为美国人提供了建构身份意识的艺术素材。画家们借助风景画建构起一套美国地理空间形象,并且将其与美国在宗教、政治上相对于欧洲的优越性联系起来。哈德逊河画派的作品与美国当时的政治理念相互呼应,将荒野的文化含义可视化,在文化层面对美国的共和制度和西进运动提供支持。同时,绘画将美国地貌压缩成地理符号,激发了美国人对共享地理空间的想象,成功地增强了美国人的地理归属感,有助于美国人对国家身份意识的构建。
In the early 19th century when people of the United States were seeking cultural independence,painters of the Hudson River School created an American art faction based on landscape paintings.They not only produced numerous artworks appreciated by the European art critics,but also provided Americans with artistic material for building their national identity.Painters used landscape paintings to construct a geospatial image of the America and established a connection between it and the superiority of the United States over Europe in religion and politics.The artworks of the Hudson River School echoed the political ideas of that time and visualized the cultural meaning of the wilderness.Through those efforts,painters successfully supported the republican government and the Westward Movement culturally.Meanwhile,paintings compressed the American landscape into geographic symbols,which inspired people's imagination of shared geographic space,enhanced the sense of geographic belonging.Accordingly,the Hudson River School made a significant contribution to the process of the building of the U.S.national identity.
