视觉中的法国艺术

“怪异、狂放、粗劣、不堪入目……这是1874年巴黎艺术评论家的怒斥,对象是不愿跟随时尚的油画、腊笔画和其他绘画作品。画展主办人是不肯在官方巴黎沙龙展出作品的一群小艺术家。这群青年属当时的叛逆者,他们着色怪异下笔粗放,以简朴的日常生活为题材,不随时尚绘画端庄严肃的人像和宏伟的历史场面。画展迅即成为巴黎街谈巷议的话题,参观者不仅讪笑,甚至向作品唾啐。尤其莫奈所绘的一幅海景,受讥嘲最多。该幅作品画的是哈佛港的晨景,名为《印象·日出》。一个评论家以此题名挖苦那群画家,称他们为“印象派”。而恰恰是这些画作,构成法国现代…     

Chinese Sculpture as Public Art

Chinese arts have undergone tremendous changes thanks to the fast-growing modernization and urbanization process in China. One of the monumental changes is the emergence of “public art”, most notably, urban sculpture. This art is increasingly related to modern urban planning, architecture, and community building.     

Art Brings Us Together

uring his short stay in Chengdu, I was lucky to catch a chance of meeting Mr. Lee Paoltmg, Secretary-General of the Sculptural Association of Taiwan. The main purpose of his trip was to invite some sculptors from Mainland to attend an intemational camp of iron A sculpture in Taiwan nextyear. Continually surrounded by various disturbing noises, he impressively remained calm and quiet. There＇s something elegant and sophisticated in his charm of manner. Mr. Lee appeared to be a real gentleman -- modest, kind, considerate and extremely polite. Standing in front of his unfinished work, a distorted, twisted and screwing.up banana, at a very simple roadside workshop, he spoke in his soft tone, in an absolutely undemonstrative way, ＂I am stable exteriorly but interiorly I am not.＂ —— Perhaps, that makes sense.     

藉雕琢沟通彼此——第二届中国雕刻艺术节札记

艺术是永恒的，艺术没有时间性，然而，艺术审美的标准却不断地在变化；艺术是相通的，艺术不分地域，然而，艺术的具体载体即表现形式却有着此地、彼地的特色。在文化艺术蓬勃发展的今天，人们逐渐明白：我们需要的是交流和融合，而不是抉择。“古为今用，洋为中用”，只有博采众长，才能独树一帜，攀登到艺术的高峰。2002年8月22日至9月1日，在中国福建惠安举办的“第二届中国雕刻艺术节”正是这一理念的积极体现。该届艺术节的主题“传统艺术与当代实验”，旨在使中国艺术借助传统走向现代，脱离艺术地区化、局部化的藩篱，在文化多元化…

精深与单纯——杨飞云的油画艺术

一个大型的个人油画展绝非一日之功可以铸成。2003年冬天在中国美术馆举办的杨飞云油画艺术展,无论在规模上还是在质量上,都实实在在地展现了他20多年来在油画艺术上取得的丰厚成果,让人看到一位中国画家是如何驻守在油画这个坚定的目标上,不断地朝艺术的深入境界持续地探索和积累。杨飞云于上世纪80年代初开始他学习和研究油画的旅程。当时,以印象派为主的欧洲近代绘画和前苏联绘画的创作风格堪称中国油画吸收和借鉴的主要经验。然而,杨飞云的艺术视线却未为此所拘,他对欧洲古典油画产生了浓厚的兴趣,感到学习油画就应该研究古典油画的高深…

Liu Hong： Chinese Lute Is My Best Love

Liu Hong, member of Tianjin Musicians Association and council member of the Pipa （Chinese lute） Academic Committee of China Traditional Orchestra Association, currently teaches pipa at Tianjin Music Conservatory. She is openminded and bold and vigorous in her work. Losing her father when she was only one year old, Liu, together with her two elder sisters, were raised only by her mother who is an elementary school teacher. As she liked singing very much, her music teacher at the elementary school recommended her to the choir of the city＇s children place. Unfortunately, the choir had no vacancy when Liu came. She therefore was transferred to the instrument class. There she began to learn pipa. Liu was not exceptional at all in the very beginning, but she liked pipa and practiced very hard. When the class entered into the advanced level, only five children were qualified for further study and Liu was one of them.     

抽象艺术：生命的流程

这并不是表现具体形象的根雕艺术，而是一种新的艺术探索，重在体现生命；中力的意象，作试图保存树木枝干的原始形态，加以传统色彩的渲染和现代科技部件的搭配，在古朴中寻找现代人的心态和波动。整套作品是一组表现人意识的作品，需要欣赏在欣赏的过程中不断调整自己的认知环境。尽量以自然的树根本色和；中击力强的红色为主。其中最大的特点是由其本身不定的造型、零件点缀的寓意及作品不同角度、不同搭配所产生的不同效果。这种艺术形式在体现主题的同时，更强调欣赏与作品的共鸣，和自我突破。其艺术魅力正是在每一种不同的领悟过程中逐渐积累、升华的。
