On The Influence Of "state Of Mind" On Riegl's Artistic Wil

Alois Riegl is a key figure in opening up modern research paradigms,having deeply and widely considered the forms of figurative art,the development of art history,and the relationship between art,history,and aesthetics.He creatively proposed the theory of "artistic will",playing a crucial role in promoting the formation of art science.This theory posits that the inner intentions and spiritual essence of an artwork are expressions of an artist’s creative motivation.In Riegl’s theory of artistic will,"mood"(Stimmung)is an important concept.To Riegl,mood is the key to modern art creation.It is the artist’s inner emotions,thoughts,and spiritual state,and the source of inspiration and creativity in producing artwork.Mood is not just a simple emotional expression,but rather a result of the artist’s deep reflection and critical observation of the self,society,and the world.In Riegl’s theory,mood has significant effects on both the artist and the viewer.For the artist,mood is the driving force and source of creativity in producing artwork,and it determines the form and style of the artwork.For the viewer,mood is the key to understanding and appreciating the artwork,and only by entering the artist’s mood can one truly comprehend the inner meaning and value of the artwork.In Riegl’s view,modern art creators are no longer attempting to depict the objective world but rather creating a mood that expresses their inner thoughts and feelings.This mood is realized through the artist’s perception,experience,and contemplation of the inner self,as well as through the reconsideration and reconstruction of external things.Overall,the concept of "mood" plays a crucial role in Riegl’s theory of artistic will and is an integral part of his view of art history.This article mainly analyzes how Riegl’s theory of artistic will introduced the concept of "mood",explores why and how this concept emerged and its relationship with modern art,and examines the influence of "mood" on Riegl’s theory of artistic will.Firstly,the origins of the artistic will are analyzed,from the enlightenment of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche’s thoughts to the introduction of the concept of "mood".Secondly,the etymology and connotations of "mood" are explored,and the corresponding relationships between art history and worldviews at different stages are analyzed,leading to the conclusion that "mood" corresponds to the stage of modern art.Finally,the article concludes by analyzing the emotional experiences associated with "mood" and the connection between "mood" and the viewer,thus elucidating the influence of "mood" on artistic will and concluding that the creation of a "mood" is the will of modern art.
