美国实用主义哲学家杜威的艺术观说对当时的艺术造成巨大的冲击,影响着现代美国艺术的发展,改变了美国艺术家的思维方式。当年美国兴起的第一个艺术运动——抽象表现主义在经验是艺术的基础、艺术表现中包含着情感、艺术内容是道德的等理念中充分体现了杜威的艺术观。 American pragmatist philosopher Dewey’s artistic view made a tremendous impact on the art of that time, influenced the development of modern American art and changed the way of thinking of American artists. Dewey’s concept of art was fully embodied in Absurd’s first art movement, Abstractionism, in which the experience was the foundation of art, the emotion in art expression, and the moral content of art.
