摘要

Abstract

This study examines the figural and decorative paintings in the late Gaochang Uyghur caves

revealing a stylistic shift towards formalization and decorativeness. Through iconographic and stylistic analysis

it demonstrates how stable compositional principles and visual formulas reflect specific socio-historical conditions of artistic production. The findings position this late phase within the broader genealogy of Silk Road art exchange.
