The Impact On China’s Fine Arts From The85Trend Of Thought

The time of1980s is memorable with its idealism. It is an impressive memory to China’s contemporary art. It ended with kinds of comments, and it had strong influence on the China’s fine arts.After several years, we have been able to calm down to review the trend of thought from the objective point of view. The art movement of85Trend of Thought was not a political communication tool during the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, but the movement of pursuing the nature of the art. However, it had taken off quickly and was strongly involved in a national spirit liberation and cultural innovation movement under the influence of cultural situation of the whole society in the late1980s. Far beyond the scope of the nature of the art, the art movement and the question between the attention and criticism of the ideological trend had become the issues of the socio-culture. It paid no attention to how to perfect the art genre or the art style, but the question that how to make the art and the society, the culture progress jointly. The critique of the art and the critique of cultural system are connected together.In the early1980s, the fine arts showed somehow emotional confusion and strong desire after the suppression of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. Scar art and local naturalistic becomes a trend, they focused on the common and their life, abandoned the fake and pattern of the Cultural Revolution. The theoretical discussions of abstract, beauty and the art noumenon which accompanied by during that time, had established the position of the art forms and language study. The fine arts wasn’t the tool of the politics from then on, it appeared the trend of independent development. As the85Trend of Thought went, it was involved in the furious cultural-ideology movement. The contemporary art exercised the form in just several years which the western modern art had developed hundreds of years.One characteristic of the art movement in the ideological trend was that there were so many group and declaration that paraded different moral ideal and every proposal of art. Along with the import of the art concept of the Chinese and western philosophy, eliminating the traditional culture and rousing the humanism dominated the art filed. Various kinds of behavior art and ready-made works art of the Anti-art learned the western philosophy, art concept and art form by rote. The late period of the movement presented a chaotic situation by some fakers and flubdub and gulf.The art movement of the85Trend of Thought undertook the task of the cultural critique and the thought liberation with art exploration and revolution. It danced with itself, though. As an artist, many young artists in the85Trend of Thought stopped their steps in the concept deduction because of the excessive praise in the cultural and philosophical concept. The trend couldn’t do well not because of the disadvantages in the development of the Chinese tradition, but also the trend itself which planted in the local culture. So they were put in an embarrassing position.A large number of quotes and performances on the western art thought and method had broadened the horizons of China’s contemporary art. It’s a pioneer practical activity. And it made Chinese understand art easily. It also brought Chinese the courage and spirit of adventure to be engaged in the art. This opened up the acknowledge of the world art and culture, opened up the possessive thinking on China’s contemporary art. And this comes out the result of acting on international convention. The85Trend of Thought prepared the international view and starting point for China’s art.
