摘要

本文是珍妮特嘉措2015年获奖作品《在佛教世界中做人:近代早期西藏医学思想史》的评论文章。这本书的艺术史方面——主要局限于第一章“阅读绘画，绘画医学，医学化国家”，并基于对一组医学绘画及其复制品的敏锐的艺术史阅读——尚未由一位受过学术训练的艺术史学家进行审查。这篇评论强调了艺术史学家在宗教和经验认识论之间经常紧张关系的平行背景下工作的优秀艺术史见解。与此同时，对视觉记录的某些解读的评估导致了对支持嘉措主要论点的建议修订。此外，还提供了西藏艺术史上其他“来自生活”的描绘先例，以帮助将原创性或独特性的主张置于背景中。最后，对不太正式的写意画与更正式的象形测量执行进行了分析，校准了白话主题与图像预先确定的主题。这两种绘画模式和主题类型在嘉措分析的绘画集中结合在一起，以支持她对赞助人德西·桑雅格·嘉措(1653-1705)所选艺术家的创新的评价。

Hidden in Plain Sight

This is a review article of Janet Gyatso's 2015 award-winning book, Being Human in a Buddhist World: An Intellectual History of Medicine in Early Modern Tibet. The art-historical aspects of the book—mainly confined to the first chapter, “Reading Paintings, Painting the Medical, Medicalizing the State” and based on a perceptive art-historical reading of a set of medical paintings and its copies—had yet to be reviewed by an academically-trained art historian. This review underscores the fine art-historical insights deserving the attention of art historians working in parallel contexts of the often tense relationship between religious and empirical epistemologies. At the same time, the evaluation of certain readings of the visual record lead to suggested revisions in the support they provide to Gyatso's primary argument. In addition, other precedents of depictions “from life” in Tibetan art history are offered to help contextualize claims of originality or uniqueness. Finally, an analysis is presented of less formal, freehand painting versus more formalized, iconometric execution, calibrated with vernacular subject matter versus iconographically predetermined themes. Both of the painting modes and subject types are combined in the painting set analyzed by Gyatso supporting her assessment of the innovation of the artists selected by the patron, Desi Sangyé Gyatso (1653–1705).
