Abstract

Scottish poet and artist Ian Hamilton Finlay is best-known for his concrete poetry of the 1960s and his later work which presents a unique combination of poetry, sculpture and gardening. Finlay approached gardens as ‘a text’. This essay offers ‘a reading’ of his stone column bases, i.e. bases of classical columns installed in front of real, growing trees. To clarify the symbolic role of the column, attention is drawn to the art of the Archaic period of the Greek culture. Finlay’s artistic concept is seen as representing kosmopoeisis, a process of transforming chaos into the cosmos, which is, by its nature, of an artistic character. The artwork as a complex artistic statement touches upon a number of crucial topics (such as nature, cultivation, order, beauty, piety, or violence); this essay tries to elucidate their interrelationship.

伊恩·汉密尔顿·芬利在神圣树林里的树柱基地

苏格兰诗人和艺术家伊恩·汉密尔顿·芬利以其20世纪60年代的具体诗歌和他后期的作品而闻名，这些作品将诗歌、雕塑和园艺独特地结合在一起。芬利将花园视为“文本”。这篇文章提供了他的石柱基座的“阅读”，即安装在真正的，生长的树木前面的古典圆柱基座。为了阐明柱子的象征作用，我们将注意力集中在希腊文化的古代艺术上。芬利的艺术理念被看作是对宇宙的再现，即将混沌转化为宇宙的过程，从本质上讲，这是一种艺术特征。艺术作品作为一种复杂的艺术陈述，触及了许多关键的主题(如自然、修养、秩序、美、虔诚或暴力);本文试图阐明二者的相互关系。
