- Abstract:
- Comparative Art, centered on the conscious comparison of diverse research subjects, provides artists with a liberating, expansive, dialectical, and innovative creative realm, grounded in the principle of comparison. This approach furnishes a robust theoretical foundation for artistic endeavors. Using Tao Dandan, the custodian of birch bark craftsmanship listed on Heilongjiang Province's intangible cultural heritage, as a case study, this paper delves into the aesthetic, heritage, and innovative dimensions of her works. It illustrates how emerging ethnic minority inheritors of intangible cultural heritage, exemplified by Tao Dandan, employ comparative art methodologies in their creative practices. Additionally, it explores their approaches and reflections on borrowing and innovating birch bark techniques from diverse cultural contexts.
