摘要王尔德是英国唯美zhuyi运动的代表人物。虽然他最出名的作品是他的戏剧，但在所有作品中，最能反映他的唯美zhuyi主张的作品却是他唯一的一部长篇小说道林格雷画像。本文通过对小说故事情节、人物性格、文体形式以及表述语言等方面的分析，总结并概括出唯美zhuyi的一些突出特征。首先，王尔德的认为艺术高于一切，而艺术美感的获得在于追求生活中的美、满足感官的享受，正所谓“美主导生活”。为了追求美可以付出一切努力，一旦美消失，就可以放弃，继而转向其他美的事物，正如小说中道林爱上西比尔，是把她看成是莎士比亚艺术的载体，一旦她失去了这种功能，他就立刻放弃了对她的爱，转向其他美的事物；其次，王尔德重视人的本性的释放以及本性的实现，他鼓励抓住每一分每一秒的时间去追求感官享受，追求瞬间的快感；再次，王尔德在创作中不避讳世俗眼中的不道德，只要能展现美，并能从中享受美，他鼓励将这些所谓的恶用艺术形式将其转化成美，至于题材的善恶则是最无关紧要的；最后，王尔德认为形式就是一切，他通过借鉴不同的风格，将美发挥得淋漓尽致。此外，王尔德犀利深刻的讽刺和标新立异的悖论也给人留下了深刻的印象。76688

Abstract Oscar Wilde is famed as an advocator of Aesthetic Movement, with the failure of his lawsuit in which he was charged with homosexuality, Aesthetic Movement failed too。 

Among all his works, The Picture of Dorian Gray best reveals his aesthetic view。 This paper demonstrates and summarizes several outstanding features of aestheticism by analyzing its plotting, characters and its rhetoric diction。 

First of all, Wilde believes the supremacy of art and that it can only be achieved through the pursuit of beauty in life and the fulfillment of senses, just as what he exclaims that “beauty guides life”。 Dorian Gray’s infatuation to his painting picture and his love for Sybil as the embodiment of Shakespearean art shows his preference to sensorial pleasure, which is fully analyzed in Chapter One in this paper。 

Secondly, Wilde thinks highly of inpiduality and attach great importance to inpidual instinct so that he encouraged to free one’s instinctive nature and to seize every opportunity for sensorial enjoyment。 In Chapter Two, Dorian Gray’s decadent and debauchery life, taking sensorial pleasures as the sole meaning of life, is revealed in detail, which echoes with Wilde’s ideal above-mentioned。

Thirdly, in Chapter three, Wilde faces evils and tries to transfer them into beauty through artistic creation。 He realizes that a person’s nature and instinct should be taken seriously。 As long as one’s instinct can be free, the beauty can be found even in the ugliness and darkness。 His above-mentioned thoughts are fully taken effect by Dorian in the novel。 

Wilde also emphasizes the aesthetics in stylistic form and language, which is analyzed in Chapter Four。 He carefully refines his diction in the novel, making the bitter irony and paradoxical statements another feature of the novel。

Key words: aestheticism; sensorial pleasure; inpidual instinct; stylistic form
