Abstract

abstract:This essay argues that the design strategies of the murals in the Akaniṣṭha Shrine, the top-floor shrine at Tāranātha's Takden Phuntsokling, were intended to provoke in the viewer a type of absorption compatible with Tibetan Buddhist values. This would have been in line with contemporaneous recognition of the potential for consecrated works of art to provide direct contact with the deity depicted. By eliminating framing and boundaries between scenes, minimizing inscriptions, employing the gaze to foster internal and external coherence, and using detailing, highlighting, and a painterly illusion of proximity, the murals invite the beholder to engage with an aesthetic of presence.
“完全错误,完全不可否认”:阿卡尼的视觉策略ṣṭ塔登丰松灵寺的ha神社壁画
文摘:本文认为阿卡尼壁画的设计策略ṣṭha Shrine是位于Tāranātha的Takden Phuntsokling的顶层神社,旨在激发观众一种与藏传佛教价值观相兼容的吸收。这与同时代对神圣艺术作品与所描绘的神直接接触的潜力的认识是一致的。通过消除场景之间的框架和边界,最大限度地减少铭文,利用凝视来促进内部和外部的连贯性,并使用细节、突出显示和绘画般的接近错觉,壁画邀请观看者融入存在的美学。
