学人回顾: 方闻 （1930–2018）| 纽约大都会博物馆及普林斯顿大学共同缅怀
May 16, 2019 方闻（1930–2018） 方闻（1930–2018）是中国古代艺术史领域的杰出学者。他于2018年10月3日在美国新泽西州普林斯顿去世，享年88岁。2019年4月13日，普林斯顿艺术与考古系在普林斯顿大学教堂为方闻举办了纪念仪式。 2019年4月13日，在普林斯顿大学教堂和普林斯顿大学艺术博物馆举办的纪念仪式。 ©Fu Qiumeng Fine Art 方闻，字闻之，1930年12月9日出生于上海 。方闻从5岁开始研习书法，曾有“书法神童”之称，于十二岁在上海举办了公开的书法展览。1948年，方闻负笈美国，开始在普林斯顿大学学习，最开始他的专业是物理，后来他很快转为欧洲历史专业，并于1951年获得本科学位。他随后在普林斯顿艺术与考古系攻读艺术史博士学位，于1958年毕业。从1954年到1999年，方闻在普林斯顿大学任教。退休后，方闻从2004年到2007年在清华大学任教，于2009年到2012年在浙江大学任教。 在1959年，方闻与普林斯顿大学东亚系的牟复礼（Frederick W. Mote，1922—2005）建立了美国第一个“中国艺术博士学程”。1962年，这个项目扩大为“中国与日本艺术博士学程”。半个多世纪以来，这个项目培养了中国古代艺术史领域一批顶尖的研究者和策展人，被人们称为“普林斯顿学派”。在1970年代担任系主任期间，方闻将摄影史和前哥伦布时期的美洲艺术囊括到艺术与考古系的教学和研究中。在方闻担任普林斯顿大学艺术博物馆首任亚洲艺术策展人和馆长期间，他扩展了博物馆在许多领域的收藏，包括来自McAlpin家族的摄影收藏和约翰·B·艾略特（John B. Elliott）的中国书法藏品，后者被人们普遍认为是亚洲以外最好的古代书法收藏之一。 方闻对纽约大都会博物馆亚洲部馆藏的发展作出了卓越的贡献。从1971年到2000年，方闻担任大都会博物馆特别顾问和亚洲部主任。据方闻多年的好友、中国古代艺术史领域的另一位重要学者高居翰（James Cahill, 1926–2014）回忆，方闻在普林斯顿大学、普林斯顿大学艺术博物馆、大都会博物馆身兼数职，因而永远是学者中最为忙碌的。他不仅学养深厚，也具备在局面复杂的会议上斡旋和协调的能力。在七十年代之前，大都会博物馆的亚洲部仅有一间展室、一个全职岗位和两位专职研究者。据大都会亚洲部主任何慕文（Maxwell K. Hearn）回忆，当时的亚洲艺术展厅中仅仅能看到瓷器、佛像和壁画。在美中建交前夕，大都会博物馆邀请方闻来推动亚洲部（当时名为“远东部”）馆藏的扩大。三十年后，在方闻的带领下，大都会博物馆的亚洲部已经拥有五十多间常设展厅和十三位专职研究者，是美国最为庞大和重要的亚洲艺术收藏。 纽约大都会博物馆。(c)... Read more -
