| Summary: | 碩士 === 中國文化大學 === 西洋文學研究所 === 86 === Synopsis This thesis aims to
analyse Baudelaire's personal esthetic opinion in his artistic
criticism, the relation between his artistic theory and poetic
creation, and then discuss the argument of "Ut Pictura
Poesis" existing in Western esthetics. In 1845, Baudelaire
published his first Salon criticism. After he finished another
Salon criticism in 1846, his esthetics system has been formed.
The first chapter of this thesis tries to analyse the external
question of art that Baudelaire devoted in his debut of critic
career, in other words, the question of the particularity of
the color and the line, and the relation between the picture
and the drawing. The second chapter of this thesis tries to
discuss Baudelaire's esthetic theory. After the Salon of 1846,
Baudelaire ignored the problem of artistic exeution, and
concerned on the internal form of art. In this chapter, the
method of mnemonic, the imagination, the correspondence, the
romanticism, and the modernity are the essential issues in
Baudelaire's esthetic system. All of these concepts appear a
harmonious respondence, and represent the synthesis of
Baudelairien esthetics. And the theory of modernity, although
there is contradiction in the definition, is one of the
important concepts of Baudelaire's esthetic system. This
theory also influences the following artistic current to
stress the beauty of the contemporary epoch and the eternity
of the present. "The Flower of Evil" and "The Spleen of
Paris" are Baudelaire's most outstanding poetic creation. In
the two books, we can easily find the esthetic concepts
declared in his artistic critics. The third chapter of this
thesis focuses on the relationship between Baudelaire's
artistic theory and his poetry so as to find out how his
poetry is influenced by his artistic theory. The argument
of "Ut Pictura Poesis" has always been the important issues of
the Western classic esthetics. The fourth chapter of my
thesis tries to explore Baudelaire's opinion on "Ut Pictura
Poesis" expressed in his artistic theory and then concludes
that he considers "Poetics" is the general element of all
arts.
