The fourth edition of "Sculpture World" (Pre-published) published the signature of Hua Ling's article "Copy, imitate, study and use for reference-prize-winning sculpture: Consideration caused by "Thumb" ". In accordance with Mr. Hua Ling's logic, only the same "thematic thought, selected theme, forms of expression and fictile object" can be judged as "copy". Then world fine arts history should be changed, what is the first to be affected are those ancient mountains, water, flowers and birds, painted for thousands of years, are which almost the same?
On the above, Mr. Sun was passed judgment on copying Mr. Xi's works; it's very easy to get to the bottom of whether it's really copying. It's clear-cut to put the pictures of two works together. Art works are fascinating; only its art language and forms can create meaning.If it's said that Mr. Xi's "Thumb" utilizes fine and huge violent visual contrast by means of specific image to supply a new aesthetical mentality for people, then Mr. Sun's "thumb" re-forms a life via abstract ways to empty protruding existing, guide people's imagination and be orientally wise and far-sighted. Mr. Sun's "thumb" and metal line serial sculpture works are up-to-date from form to art language, and reflect China in his heart. For this kind of works, "consideration" yet denounced indignantly it as "copy"
"Meaningful Form" is the results found by artists' character and ability, therefore, real art works couldn't be repeated.
编者的话
中国工艺美术学会雕塑专业委员会主办的作为内部交流的《雕塑世界》报,在其试刊号上曾发表了华灵先生题为《抄袭?模仿;学习?借鉴—获奖雕塑:《大拇指》引起的思考》一文(全文请浏览中国雕塑平台网)。该文刊出后,本刊曾收到另一位读者寄来的对该文持不同意见的文稿,为引发有不同学术观点的争鸣,现特将全文登出。
《雕塑世界》(试刊号)第四版刊载了署名华灵的文章《抄袭、模仿、学习、借鉴——获奖雕塑:《大拇指》引起的思考》(以上简称“思考”)。“思考”一文在陈述了孙绍群及西塞尔各自的雕塑《大拇指》的情况后,认为“事实已经很清楚,是一目了然,不少雕塑家认为武汉西北湖广场这尊钢丝绕焊接的《大拇指》是抄袭品”,并且“不只是个人的耻辱也是时代的悲哀,应予拆除”,读罢令人愕然,其实,要弄清楚孙先生是否抄袭了西先生的作品是件再容易不过的事情。我们只需将两件作品的图片放在一起看,立马就清楚了。
不过,一目了然之后,结论恰恰与华灵先生的结论相反,孙绍群先生对现代雕塑语言的思考与华灵先生对《大拇指》引起的思考,显然不在一个思想层面。既不同层面、本不该并论,但华灵先生发感慨于公共媒体,既有批评,于是再有关于批评之批评,理亦正常。白纸黑字,正讹相见,为的是不愚媒体受众。
先看“思考”一文认定孙先生的《大拇指》是抄袭西塞尔的《大拇指》的依据:“主题思想相同,题材内容相同,体裁形式相同,动态构图相同,只是选用材质、表现手法不同。……
