Vladimir Vasil'evich Veydle

Japanese: ウェイドレ - うぇいどれ（英語表記）Владимир　Васильевич　Вейдле／Vladimir Vasil'evich Veydle

1895‐1979
A Russian art historian and aesthetician. Born in St. Petersburg, he emigrated to Paris in 1924. In addition to his work on Byzantine art history, in his representative work The Fate of Art (1936) and in various essays from his later years, he believed that modern art no longer deserves to be called art, but is merely an aesthetic object, and criticized the modern avant-garde, which had become differentiated by placing emphasis only on form. He also said that the restoration of the wholeness of humanity and art was only possible through a connection with religion. [Takagi Michitaka]

ロシア出身の美術史学･美学者。ペテルブルグに生まれ，1924年パリに亡命。ビザンティン美術史に関する業績のほか，代表作《芸術の運命》(1936)や晩年の諸論文で，現代芸術はもはや芸術と呼ぶに値せず，単なる美的対象にすぎないと考え，形式にのみ重点をおき分化していった現代の前衛を批判した。また，人間と芸術の全体性の回復は宗教との結びつきによってのみ可能だとした。【鐸木道剛】
