部落艺术，也被称为非西方艺术或民族志艺术，或者有争议的原始艺术，是土著人民的视觉艺术和物质文化。部落艺术通常具有仪式或宗教目的。部落艺术是部落文明物品的主题和工艺，通常起源于农村。西方人类学家、私人收藏家、民族志和自然历史博物馆历来收藏部落艺术品。

19 世纪著名的西方艺术专业人士根本不认为非西方艺术是艺术。相反，这些物品被视为“异国情调”或“原始”文化的人工制品和文化产品。但在 20 世纪下半叶，人们看待部落艺术的方式发生了变化。在 1960 年代后现代主义发展之前，艺术评论家从严格的形式主义角度看待部落艺术，很少关注作品的象征意义、历史或文化背景或艺术家的目的。从那时起，世界范围内的收藏、展览和艺术市场都开始高度重视部落艺术，例如西方收藏的非洲艺术。

“部落”一词可能会让人产生一种与原始主义相关的低级艺术的感觉，并暗示在能力、设计、意图或概念方面缺乏成熟。然而，随着博物馆重新评估和重新策划他们的藏品，认识到部落艺术远非粗糙和原始，而且经常展示出远远超出我们预期的执行技巧，它正在吸引越来越多的关注广大市民。它还具有触动我们灵魂的能力。也许由于他们引人注目的存在和情感能量，我们的内在本能被唤醒，我们与他们的真实性联系起来，激发了我们的精神深度感。

部落艺术在博物馆收藏中分为三个主要类别：非洲艺术，特别是撒哈拉以南非洲艺术、美洲艺术和大洋洲艺术，特别是来自澳大利亚、美拉尼西亚、新西兰和波利尼西亚的艺术。

非洲部落艺术

非洲部落艺术包括石雕、木雕（面具和雕塑）、珠宝、篮筐、织物、管子、乐器、武器、珠饰，以及门和墙壁装饰等建筑元素的创作。

并非所有部落都采用这些艺术形式。这些工艺的发展受到工具、资源和技术诀窍可用性的影响。最常见的材料是木头，经常用粘土、油漆、贝壳、珠子、象牙、金属、羽毛、动物毛发、拉菲草装饰，有时甚至用半宝石装饰。

包罗万象的宗教将非洲艺术作为重要组成部分。个别图像作为据说存在于所有生物中的生命力的体现或代表。这些死者的形象经常为他们代言，保留了部落血统的精髓，让人们对祖先的灵魂产生认同感。尽管所采用的许多形式都包含世俗元素，并且一些艺术品只是装饰性和观赏性，但非洲部落手工艺品通常作为宗教艺术生产 - 用于特定的仪式或礼仪用途。

许多部落仪式是基于年龄组的入会，例如年轻人或老人的“社团”，每个社团都有自己独特的标志和崇拜图案。许多雕刻人物和面具都与这些“社团”有关，并且经常象征着守护神或神灵，如雷神或火神。尽管某些文化生产的雕刻品几乎是一种奢侈品，但它们与面具一样普遍和流行，并且与仪式有关。尼日利亚的约鲁巴部落是圆形人物雕刻专家，经常在他们典型的巨大面具上镶嵌成群活泼的人体模型，给人一种派对正在进行的印象。非洲雕塑的标准和声誉在包括约鲁巴人在内的其他部落中如此之高，以至于雕塑家可能获得类似于西方知名艺术家的地位和声誉。

大洋部落艺术

波利尼西亚、密克罗尼西亚、美拉尼西亚和澳大拉西亚是构成大洋洲次区域的四个不同的民族地理区域。原产于这四个地方的原住民的创造性遗产和习俗被称为大洋洲部落艺术。波利尼西亚、密克罗尼西亚和美拉尼西亚的大部分地区最终都受到了这种拉皮塔文化的影响。另一个因素是越南东山文明（约 600 年），它是西太平洋地区的重要贸易商，并留下了在大洋洲各地发现的青铜器。

大洋部落艺术与涉及超自然、精神崇拜、生育的异教仪式密切相关，尽管每个地区和每个岛屿群都有自己的艺术传统，这影响了它的艺术和手工艺。艺术家和工匠使用的大多数材料都是易腐烂的，产生了相当广泛的艺术，包括人体彩绘、纹身、绘画、雕刻、木雕和纺织艺术。因此，除了石头结构和雕塑外，幸存下来的例子相对较少。

幸存下来的波利尼西亚艺术的著名例子包括社会群岛、复活节岛和马克萨斯群岛的石庙；拉帕努伊岛/复活节岛和马克萨斯群岛上的巨型石雕 (moai)，体现了使用具有突出舌头和凸出眼睛的拟人形象的设计，这在波利尼西亚的许多东部和偏远地区都很常见；以及波利尼西亚西部的装饰精美的树皮布。

面具是整个美拉尼西亚土著艺术的一个重要主题，因为它们被用于错综复杂的异教仪式和崇拜活动中。除了人体彩绘和纹身，密克罗尼西亚部落的手工艺品还包括造型木制面具、彩绘独木舟和雕刻木碗。澳大利亚土著艺术的形式和媒体多种多样，包括人体彩绘、岩画、树皮画、岩版画、立石、雕刻、雕塑以及工具和武器上的装饰品。

美国原住民部落艺术

前者的游牧、猎人生活方式和后者略微静止但仍然贫困的环境极大地影响了美国印第安艺术。资源可用性，包括木材、柳条、金属、动物骨骼、粘土和棉花，是当地特定创意传统如何出现的另一个重要因素。

西南部的部落是编织、制陶和壁画的大师。这些部落包括亚利桑那州南部的霍霍坎人、亚利桑那州北部和新墨西哥州的安萨兹人、新墨西哥州西南部的明布雷斯人，以及祖尼人、纳瓦霍人和霍皮人。西南美洲原住民发展了沙画，通常称为干画（尤其是纳瓦霍人）。

在中西部，文化完全是由部落创造的，它以其精致的纺织艺术和著名的土方工程而闻名，这些土方工程被称为“雕像丘”，形状像各种动物。除了雕刻的木碗和抛光的石头和铜饰品，部落艺术还包括雕刻的石管，其图案从超现实到抽象。

东南地区还创造了精雕细琢的贝壳、华丽的彩绘服装配饰以及形状像鸟兽的烟斗。然而，尽管使用的是劣质粘土，但它以其精美的陶器而闻名。对于礼仪、宗教和个人用途，陶器作品被制作并装饰成各种花卉和几何图案。

篮筐是西海岸美洲原住民艺术的典范，尤其是在加利福尼亚州。东北印第安人，尤其是易洛魁人，以他们的硬木碗、编织的贝壳腰带、豪猪刺绣和假脸协会面具而闻名。西北地区最伟大的部落艺术是雕塑，尤其是木雕。最流行的手工雕刻雕塑类型之一是图腾、小木人和精心绘制并经常镶嵌石头和鲍鱼壳的面具。

对现代艺术的影响

从 19 世纪中叶开始，随着越来越多的探险队带回部落文物，欧洲收藏家和艺术家开始对当时被称为原始主义/原始艺术的事物表现出兴趣，这是典型的黑非洲艺术。 19 世纪末和 20 世纪初见证了重要的部落艺术展览，这些展览将非西方艺术引入了西方艺术世界。现代艺术博物馆展出了重要的展览，例如 1941 年的美国印第安艺术和 1935 年的非洲黑人艺术。许多当代艺术家，包括表现主义者、立体主义者和超现实主义者，都从接触部落艺术中获得灵感。

文森特梵高和亨利马蒂斯等主要艺术家深受部落艺术的影响，而保罗高更则在法属波利尼西亚亲身接触过部落艺术。紧随其后的是 20 世纪中叶的毕加索 (Pablo Picasso)，其著名的早期立体派杰作 Les Demoiselles d'Avignon 以非洲面具为特色。立体主义深受部落艺术的影响。这位艺术家主要借鉴部落艺术的形式含义，通过破坏图像和牺牲视角迅速破坏了西方范式。其主要成果之一是抽象绘画。

大约在这个时候，德国集体 Die Brücke 开始更多地关注非西方艺术的直觉、原始和仪式方面，推出了被称为表现主义的重要现代艺术风格。通过从苏黎世、纽约和巴黎的部落艺术、立体主义和表现主义中汲取影响，达达主义者为西方范式的瓦解做出了贡献。拼贴画和组合的三维对应物主要用于达达的绘画或雕塑作品。这件由回收材料制成的作品证明，艺术可以由任何东西制成，而不仅限于绘画、雕刻或建模。它的图像在政治、社会或美学层面上具有挑衅性，并且经常结合部落艺术的元素。达达引入了最终产生概念艺术的思想。观念艺术的影响与其他现代艺术流派的影响相融合，形成了当今世界所享有的庞大、广泛、极其丰富、多样和国际多元化的当代艺术之河。

Contemporary art is a vibrant constellation of artistic expressions. This creative universe encompasses a wide array of mediums, from paintings, sculpture, and photography to drawing, printmaking, textile art, and digital art, each medium a star shining with its own distinct radiance. Artists use diverse supports and materials to bring their visions to life, such as canvas, wood, metal, and even innovative digital canvases for the creation of virtual masterpieces. 

A contemporary painting, for instance, may weave its story through the masterful strokes of acrylic or oil, while a contemporary sculpture might sing its song in the language of stone, bronze, or found objects. The photographic arts capture and manipulate light to produce striking images, while printmaking employs techniques like lithography and screen-printing to produce multiples of a single, impactful image. Textile art plays with fabrics and fibers, whereas digital art pushes the boundaries of creation with innovative technology. 

The allure of contemporary art lies in its boundary-pushing nature, its relentless quest for experimentation and its constant reflection of the evolving human experience. This boundless creativity, coupled with its strong social and personal commentary, makes every piece of contemporary art a unique emblem of its time, a mirror held up to the realities and dreams of our complex world. It whispers to us, moves us, provokes thought, and kindles a deep emotional response, stirring the soul of anyone willing to listen. It is, indeed, the language of emotions and ideas, spoken in the dialect of our era.

Origins and history of contemporary art

The story of contemporary art unfolds in the mid-20th century, marked by seismic shifts in artistic expression. Post-World War II, around the 1950s and 1960s, artists began experimenting beyond traditional confines, challenging the norms of what art could be. This revolutionary epoch birthed myriad new movements and artistic forms such as abstract expressionism, pop art, and minimalism. Paintings, once confined by realism, embraced abstraction, as artists used color and form to express emotions and ideas. Notable periods like the advent of pop art in the late 1950s and early 1960s saw artworks mimicking popular culture and mass media, reflecting society’s shifting focus.

The sculptural arts, too, witnessed a metamorphosis. Sculptors started to experiment with new materials and forms, often creating artworks that interacted with the viewer and the surrounding space, fostering a sense of engagement. Drawing, a timeless practice, also evolved, with artists incorporating innovative techniques and concepts to redefine its role in contemporary art.

Photography, a relatively new medium, emerged as a powerful tool in the contemporary art landscape. Born in the 19th century, it truly came into its own in the latter half of the 20th century, blurring the lines between fine art and documentation. Printmaking, a practice dating back to ancient times, saw renewed interest and experimentation with techniques like lithography, etching, and screen printing gaining prominence.

The realm of textile art expanded dramatically, as artists began to appreciate the versatility and tactile quality of fabric and fibers. Artists began using textiles to challenge the boundaries between fine art, craft, and design. 

The dawn of digital technology in the late 20th century heralded a new age for contemporary art. Digital art emerged as artists started leveraging new technologies to create immersive, interactive experiences, often blurring the line between the virtual and the physical world.

Through these transformative periods, the essence of contemporary art has remained the same: a dynamic, evolving reflection of the times we live in, continually pushing boundaries and embracing the new, always questioning, always exploring.

Evolutions of theses contemporary works in the art market

As we navigate through the 21st century, the dynamic landscape of contemporary art continues to evolve and expand, reflecting our ever-changing world. Contemporary paintings, once primarily confined to two-dimensional canvases, now embrace a multitude of forms and techniques, ranging from mixed media installations to digital creations, each piece a rich a weaving of thoughts, emotions, and narratives. Sculpture, too, has ventured far beyond traditional stone and bronze, with artists incorporating light, sound, and even motion, embodying the ephemerality and flux of the modern world.

Photography, in the hands of contemporary artists, has expanded its horizons, seamlessly blending with digital technology to create breathtaking imagery that challenges our perception of reality. Drawing, as well, has transcended the borders of paper, incorporating multimedia elements and exploratory techniques to redefine its role in the artistic discourse. Printmaking continues to flourish, with contemporary artists using traditional methods in innovative ways to deliver potent social and personal commentaries.

Textile art, once considered a craft, now holds a prominent place in the contemporary art world, with artists using it to explore issues of identity, tradition, and cultural heritage. Meanwhile, digital art, the newest member of the contemporary art family, has revolutionized the way we create and interact with art, presenting immersive experiences that blur the boundary between the virtual and the physical.

These diverse forms of contemporary art hold significant value in the current art market, not only due to their aesthetic appeal but also their ability to encapsulate and communicate complex ideas and emotions. Collectors, curators, and art lovers worldwide seek these works, drawn to their inherent dynamism, their innovative use of materials, and their eloquent expressions of our shared human experience. As a testimonial to our times, these contemporary artworks encapsulate the pulse of our society and the resonance of individual voices, forever etching our collective narrative into the annals of art history.
