查询词典 proclivities

In spite of their Unitarian proclivities and their masks of conservative broadmindedness, they were two generations behind interpretative science: their mental processes were mediaeval, while their thinking on the ultimate data of existence and of the universe struck him as the same metaphysical method that was as young as the youngest race, as old as the cave-man, and older - the same that moved the first Pleistocene ape-man to fear the dark; that moved the first hasty Hebrew savage to incarnate Eve from Adam's rib; that moved Descartes to build an idealistic system of the universe out of the projections of his own puny ego; and that moved the famous British ecclesiastic to denounce evolution in satire so scathing as to win immediate applause and leave his name a notorious scrawl on the page of history.

As with the Western artists Jan Saudek and Joel-Peter Witkin, 'real-world objects should give up any idea of entering my pictures,' unless they undergo restructuring—by the artist's own taste and proclivities, by an amalgam of memory and fantasy, by a tone of pensive irony, or by seemingly absurd but in fact accurate imagination, thus restructuring the individual's relation to reality. It does not hurt to call these artists' work realism, but it is a kind of 'psychological realism' which 'extracts a deeper level of genuineness from fictive objects.

他们迷恋于语言与形式的快感，迷恋于对文化经典的片断性挪用，迷恋于衰朽的虚无或色欲的激情，与简·索德克、乔·彼得·威金（Joel-Peter Witkin）那样的西方艺术家相似，"现实中的事物永远别想进入画面"，除非是经过了他们的重构——以其个人的趣味与癖好，以混合着追忆与幻想、伤感与反讽的语调，以看似荒诞其实准确的想象力，重构了个人与现实之间的关系，你也不妨将他们的作品称之为现实主义，但那是一种"心理现实主义"——"从虚构的事物之中抽取出更深层的真实。"
