Abstract

After having discussed other forming factors of the world-picture logic as histories—the history of language, the history of time, this article points out the third way of exploring the history of ideas in pioneering contemporary Chinese art is as a history of self. Then, it suggests the reasons why the history of ideas in pioneering contemporary Chinese art should be a kind of history of self and what are its features. When we talk about the history of ideas in pioneering contemporary Chinese art as a history of self, we mean to draw attention to the processes in which pioneering artists shape their self, we also do so to research the relationship between the self and artistic schema of language, and what kind of classical images of self that pioneering contemporary Chinese art makes in the past.
