Abstract

Abstract:As a discipline, semiotics has gained recognition in many fields. Cultural background plays an important part in the field of the visual art. Given the rich cultural context of the pictorial hybridization Chinese–European in the early Qing dynasty, the pictorial works can be used in studying semiotics. This article addresses a discourse on some semiotic reflections in painting. It focuses on the application of the theory of the semiotic scientist Charles Peirce that has proven to be suitable for analyzing pictorial works. The model chosen as a subject for investigation is a painting in ink on silk titled “Portrait of Qianlong’s Consort with Yongyan as a Child,” painted using Western techniques in the eighteenth century. The analysis of the portrait offers an appropriate basis to develop some semiotic reflections on this work of art by contributing to aesthetic and artistic awareness. Semiotic structures were employed to develop an understanding of the pictorial forms by turning each element into a tool of communication. The semi-otic reading of this work is concerned with the visual art education and sensorial message of the painting.

清代幻术画的美学阐释与建构:符号学的学习方法

摘要：符号学作为一门学科，在许多领域都得到了认可。文化背景在视觉艺术领域起着重要的作用。鉴于清初中欧图像杂交的丰富文化背景，图像作品可以用于符号学研究。本文论述了绘画中的一些符号学思考。它着重于符号学家查尔斯·皮尔斯的理论的应用，该理论已被证明适用于分析绘画作品。被选为调查对象的模型是一幅题为“乾隆王妃永琰小时候的肖像”的水墨丝绸画，这幅画是在18世纪使用西方技术绘制的。对肖像的分析提供了一个适当的基础，通过促进审美和艺术意识，对这件艺术作品进行一些符号学思考。符号学结构被用来通过将每个元素变成交流的工具来发展对图形形式的理解。这幅作品的半耳阅读关注的是绘画的视觉艺术教育和感官信息。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Aesthetic Education (JAE) is a highly respected interdisciplinary journal that focuses on clarifying the issues of aesthetic education understood in its most extensive meaning. The journal thus welcomes articles on philosophical aesthetics and education, to problem areas in education critical to arts and humanities at all institutional levels; to an understanding of the aesthetic import of the new communications media and environmental aesthetics; and to an understanding of the aesthetic character of humanistic disciplines. The journal is a valuable resource not only to educators, but also to philosophers, art critics and art historians.
