The Mode of Art and Intelligence
Cao Yiqiang

The name “Art and Humanities” not only implies the connotation of our school’s 90-year of teaching and research in art history, but also indicates the ultimate goal that art history should pursue. “Humanities” define not only human dignity and the nobility of one's career, covering the qualities of human interests, values, ideological systems, and behaviours. Meanwhile, it also contains the study of human beings’ ideas and noble actions. The term “humanism” encompasses both layers of meanings, while artistic creation and research are representative products of their interactions. Accordingly, in 2007, our school was named “The Advanced School of Art and Humanities” from the original Department of Art History.

In Europe, “art” mainly refers to “fine art,” composed of painting, sculpture, and architecture. Such image-based fine arts, together with texts, have been regarded as the intellectual wings of human beings to grasp the essence of the world since ancient Greece. For this reason, issues relating to images and texts have always been important philosophical propositions in the West. In China, the earliest documents indicate that images and texts are consubstantial and complementary to each other though having different functions, and that both are intelligent means of well knowing the universe and social world, namely what are difficult to convey through texts can be depicted with images, and vice versa. The “ideas” of the western philosophy and traditional Chinese “Tao” construct two major worldviews and beliefs in its respective cultures, which, together with art and science, jointly boost the progress of human civilizations. The significance of studies of art history is, therefore, self-evident.
