現代芸術におけるオブジェの問題(第二部会(美術論・美術史), 美学会第八回全国大会分科会研究発表)

抄録

Non-objectivity is often pointed out with regard to the character of Modern Art. It is not, however, enough to study this problem only from the standpoint of style. This meaningless non-objectivity will not be completely understood unless its meaning is considered. "Objet" is the most typical mode of this meaningless objective art, and it is always "unformed situation" in its mode of expression because it loses medium term of expressed object. This mode of being in the work of art is generally, when it is analyzed, attributed to reality in actuality and to reality in meaning. As for "Objet", both of them form reality in the work of art not through the medium as "Sujet" but without mediation. Mode of meaning in "Objet", therefore, is constructed by such reality as material object inherently owns, that is, by those fundamental plastic elements, its real colour and form.
