Kaiga Kukan No Tetsugaku Shiso Shi No Naka No Enkin Ho (Chiku Ma Gakugei Bunko)

[Machine Translation] Perspective" is not a self-evident style of expression, but rather a worldview that was established during the Renaissance. This book delves deeply into the background of the establishment and development of perspective from the perspective of the history of ideas, which Panofsky and others have also discussed, and compares it with the expressive techniques of ink and wash painting and Japanese painting to recapture its true worldview significance in the context of the entire culture, beyond the framework of a painting technique. Furthermore, by following the artistic theories of German idealists such as Kant and Hegel, and the struggles of modern Japanese painters, the relationship between art and philosophy is also examined. This is a masterful book that addresses important issues in art historiography from a unique perspective.

“遠近法”という表現様式は自明のものではなく、ルネッサンス期に確立したひとつの世界観である。パノフスキーらも論じてきた遠近法の成立や発展の背景を、本書は思想史的観点から深く掘り起こし、水墨画や日本絵画における表現法も引きくらべつつ、絵画の一技法という枠を越えて文化全体の文脈のなかで、その真の世界観的意義を捉えなおす。さらに、カントやヘーゲルなどのドイツ観念論における芸術理論、近代日本絵画における格闘を追いながら、美術と哲学の関わりを掬いだす。ユニークな切り口で美術史学の重要論点に切り込んだ名著。
