[导师推荐语]梁超同学毕业于杭州大学历史系,受过严格的历史学专业训练。在艺术史与美学领域探索研究时,也是为数不多的将文史研究、社会学统计方法运用到美术史研究中来的年轻学人之一。梁超同学的论文以历史学论文的严谨形式阐述艺术史的丰富内容,在两个领域的交叉中成功地论述了自己的观点。梁超同学的论文着重探讨清末与民国浙江、上海的艺术家和艺坛,与经典的海派艺术研究略有不同的是,他所使用的都是社会学的研究方法。例如在研究海派艺术家的经济生活时,他通过列表、演算的方式来求得艺术家收入支出的平衡态势,这虽然和传统美术史上的艺术品市场化的研究殊途同归,但是其研究方法是新颖而有趣的。在这个基础上,在艺术家经济行为中引入了“绅士服务”的概念,该概念不仅涉及经济领域的,还涉及到了在此基础上反映出来的财富生产阶级的变革分析。“绅士服务”是一个全新的概念。在封建制度解体、作为特权阶层的知识分子普遍破产而衣食无着的近代社会之中,绅士服务的出现为他们在商业本位社会中挣扎求存指引了一条明路。一些过去只有在书斋中游戏自娱的文化技巧不得不作为谋取一饭之资的手段,这种直接的金钱交易关系打破了文人阶层固有而脆弱的清高姿态,而使之真正地融入了和谐社会。艺术的市场化问题,与具有深厚商业传统的上海社会特色也具有暗合的呼应关系。 [Suggested Tutor] Liang Chao graduated from Hangzhou University Department of History, subject to strict discipline of history training. In the field of art history and aesthetics, it is also one of the few young scholars who applied historical and sociology statistical methods to art history research. Liang Chao’s essay expounds the rich content of art history in the rigorous form of historical essay and discusses his point of view successfully in the intersection of the two fields. His essay focuses on the artists and art circles in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China in Zhejiang and Shanghai. Compared with the study of the classic Shanghai art, his research methods are all sociological. For example, when studying the economic life of the Shanghai artists, he calculated the balance of the artist’s income and expenditure through a list and calculation method. Although the research on the market-oriented art of the traditional fine arts is different from each other, the research method is novel and interesting of. On this basis, the concept of “gentleman service” was introduced into the economic activities of artists. This concept not only involves the economic field, but also involves the analysis of the changes in the wealth-producing classes reflected on this basis. Gentleman Services is a completely new concept. In the modern society where the feudal system was disintegrated and the intelligentsia as the privileged class went bankrupt without food and clothing, the emergence of gentleman’s services guided them in their struggle for survival in a business-oriented society. Some of the cultural techniques that used to be entertaining in the study only had to be used as a means of obtaining a meal. This direct monetary transaction broke the inherent fragility of the literati class and made it truly integrated into a harmonious society . The marketization of art also has an echoing relationship with the social characteristics of Shanghai, which has a profound commercial tradition.
