Pierre Francastel

Japanese: フランカステル(英語表記)Pierre Francastel
Pierre Francastel
1900‐70
French art historian. Born in Paris, he studied literature and art history philology. After submitting his doctoral thesis on the sculptures of the Palace of Versailles and teaching in Warsaw for five years, he became a professor at the University of Strasbourg in 1936 and taught a course in sociology of art at the École des Hautes Etudes in Paris in 1948. Francastel attempted to introduce aesthetics and sociology into the interpretation of art, rejecting the so-called enumeration of historical facts. In other words, he believed that the basic element of artistic expression, known as "plastic language," is an independent unit different from language and is the foundation of human cultural activity, and he attempted to interpret such unwritten elements as manifestations of the spiritual activity of a certain era and society.

フランスの美術史家。パリに生まれ,文学と美術史文献学を学ぶ。ベルサイユ宮殿の彫刻群についての博士論文を提出し,ワルシャワで5年間教鞭をとった後,1936年からストラスブール大学教授,48年からパリの高等研究学院で芸術社会学の講座を開く。フランカステルは美術の解釈に,いわゆる歴史的事実の羅列を排して,美学と社会学とを導入しようとする。すなわち〈造型言語〉という芸術表現の基本的エレメントは,言語とはまた異なった独立の単位として人間の文化的活動の基礎となっており,このような,書かれたものでないエレメントを,ある時代と社会の精神活動のあらわれとして解釈しようとする。
