A Study on the Symbolization of Art and the Self-Discipline of Art

Abstract

Beginning with the new avant-garde art in the 1960s, the visual arts dominated by the West have gradually paid attention to the symbolic process of art. Art symbolization itself provides more space for textual interpretation of art "self-discipline", but does the system of art symbolization also constitute the paradox of art "self-discipline"? The comparison between the quantification process of art symbolization and the essential problem of art "self-discipline" obviously cannot carry out the same horizontal and vertical comparative research. But symbolization of art will mean institutionalization of art, which is contrary to the principle of art "self-discipline" in essence. In the cultural context of Western avant-garde art, which is dominated by "paradox", Chinese avant-garde art is more based on the institutional or conceptual category of art "self- discipline", and whether the social function of Chinese avant-garde art is too overestimated, these questions are worth exploring.
