人类的艺术

章节摘录

插图：The music of johann Sebastian Bach was a matter of constant imtation to his employers in Leipzig. The Emperorjoseph ii of Austria complained to Herr Mozart that there were "too many notes" in his music. Richard Wagner scompositions were hooted off the concert platform. Arab or Chinese music,that makes the average Arab or Chinese roll his eyes in deep rapture, happens to affect me personally as ifl were listening to a bitterly contested cat fight in the neighbor's back yard.Wherefore, when I say that art is uruversal, I merely mean that art is not bound to any particular country or to any particular period of time. For art is as old as the human race and it is just as much part of man as are his eyes or his ears or his hunger or his thirst. The lowest savage of the most desolate part of Australia,who in a great many ways is quite inferior to the animals which share his loneliness, who has never even learned how to build himself a house or how to wear clothes, had developed a very interesting art of his own. And while we have discovered several groups of natives who have no conception whatsoever of religion, we have never, as far as I know, come across a race（no matter how far it happened to be removed from the center of civilization） that was completely without some form of artistic expression.
