“抽象美”与“凌乱美”：复杂度和秩序对抽象艺术审美偏好的影响
“Beauty of Abstract” and “Beauty of Messy”: The Influence of Complexity and Order on Aesthetic Preference of Abstract Art
摘要: 影响审美的客观因素和主观因素有哪些？几个世纪以来，哲学家和科学家一直在试图解开这个复杂的谜题。审美心理学积累了大量的科学研究和讨论，力求探讨统一的全人类的审美标准和审美心理机制。长久以来，秩序、复杂度以及秩序和复杂度之间的平衡经常作为影响审美偏好的因素。然而，关于这一主题的文献，不同的研究者得出的结论并不完全相同。本文从对西方审美心理学进行整体上的梳理出发，分析各种审美因素，着重于探讨复杂度与秩序对审美，特别是代表现代艺术的抽象艺术审美的影响，以及所存在的个体差异，为未来开展中国本土的审美心理学研究提出研究方向上的展望。
Abstract: What are the objective and subjective factors that affect aesthetics? Philosophers and scientists have been trying to solve this complex puzzle for centuries. Aesthetic psychology has accumulated a large number of scientific research and discussion, and strives to explore the unified aesthetic standard and aesthetic psychological mechanism for all human beings. Order, complexity, and the balance between order and complexity have long been cited as factors influencing aesthetic preferences for a long time. However, different researchers have come to different conclusions about the literature on this topic. Based on the overall integration of the western aesthetic psychology, this article analyses various aesthetic factors and focuses on the complexity and order of aesthetic, especially aesthetics of abstract art, which represents the modern art and individual difference to provide prospect in the direction of research for the development of domestic research on aesthetic psychology in future.
