新時代·新生活

New Era·New Life

速寫作為一種藝術(shù)表現(xiàn)形式，是畫家進行創(chuàng)作、收集各種形象素材的重要手段，但是隨著攝影技術(shù)的發(fā)展特別是手機攝影的普及，速寫似乎不再受到當代畫家的重視。在今天，美術(shù)中速寫創(chuàng)作狀態(tài)如何？8月14日至17日，由中國藝術(shù)報社、廣州市委宣傳部、廣州市文聯(lián)主辦，中國美協(xié)學術(shù)指導，廣東省美協(xié)、廣州美術(shù)學院學術(shù)支持，廣州市美協(xié)、廣州市黃埔區(qū)委宣傳部協(xié)辦的“新時代·新生活”全國速寫作品邀請展暨第四屆廣州速寫作品展試圖給出“解題”思路。

“本次在中國文藝家之家展覽館舉辦的展覽得到了廣大美術(shù)工作者的積極響應和社會各方面的支持，共收到來自海內(nèi)外1800多位作者逾萬幅速寫作品。經(jīng)過評審，本次展覽共展出230余幅當代速寫精品，包括油畫、水粉、水墨、鋼筆、鉛筆、炭筆、刀刻等各種形式，說明速寫本身的發(fā)展正趨向多元路徑?！敝袊囆g(shù)報社副社長朱虹子介紹說。

速寫表現(xiàn)新時代新生活

在展覽籌備過程中，組委會多次組織畫家走進革命老區(qū)、高新企業(yè)、社區(qū)等基層一線進行速寫創(chuàng)作，描繪新時代、新廣州、新生活。本次展覽作品，既有名家名作，也有海內(nèi)外各地的畫家作品，還有一部分年輕畫家的作品。這些作品內(nèi)容緊扣時代，藝術(shù)形式多樣，呈現(xiàn)精彩生活，看似輕松隨意的簡速幾筆，卻蘊含著對描繪對象深刻透徹的把握以及作者個性的藝術(shù)取向；有的作品本身就是一件成功的藝術(shù)作品，能夠直接坦誠地表達出作者的內(nèi)心感悟。此次展覽，不僅對于全國美術(shù)展覽來說是一種補充與豐富，還在一定程度上反映了當代中國速寫的水平，為美術(shù)家堅守與探索、初心與夢想、學術(shù)與交流提供了一個藝術(shù)陣地，從而具有多重意義。

展覽期間，中國美協(xié)駐會副主席、秘書長徐里專門觀看了展覽并給予很高評價，他說：“速寫是美術(shù)家深入生活最直觀的反映，是觀察、表現(xiàn)生活最便捷的途徑，展覽為我們闡明了速寫與完整作品之間最深層的關系，也可以讓我們重新評估速寫的藝術(shù)價值和在新時代美術(shù)創(chuàng)作中的定位?！?/p>

中國藝術(shù)報社總編輯康偉認為，速寫是生動而深刻地體現(xiàn)“扎根人民、扎根生活”的藝術(shù)樣式。他表示，速寫，散發(fā)著情感的溫度，洋溢著生活的熱度，凝結(jié)著思想的強度，展現(xiàn)著藝術(shù)的力度，在生活的積累中進行著美的發(fā)現(xiàn)和創(chuàng)造。一幅幅不同歷史時期、來自全國各地的速寫作品，體現(xiàn)的是對生活的熱愛、對藝術(shù)的執(zhí)著，讓觀眾感受到藝術(shù)家滾燙的藝術(shù)初心、卓越的藝術(shù)創(chuàng)造。

速寫“見靈性、顯才情、練功底”

速寫是美術(shù)工作者面向生活的一種極為直接的、最現(xiàn)場的創(chuàng)作方式，對速寫的提倡，不但是對繪畫創(chuàng)作基本功的強調(diào)，更是美術(shù)工作者對藝術(shù)的虔誠追求。“新時代·新生活”全國速寫作品邀請展暨第四屆廣州速寫作品展提倡以速寫激發(fā)美術(shù)家對時代和生活的責任與擔當，通過速寫發(fā)現(xiàn)生活之美、現(xiàn)實之真、人民之善。

廣州市委宣傳部副部長朱小燚認為，作為中國改革開放先行地的廣州，在今年舉辦了一系列謳歌改革開放精神的重要活動，“新時代·新生活”就是其中的重要活動之一，速寫這種文藝形式與我們的生活能夠最為緊密和直接地結(jié)合，希望通過此次展覽號召更多的美術(shù)家關注速寫，通過速寫關注當下生活。

在與展覽同期舉行的學術(shù)研討會上，王鏞、李一、梁江、鄭工等專家認為，速寫是畫家見靈性、顯才情、練功底的主要基本功之一。畫家對真實事物的體會和對藝術(shù)化表達的轉(zhuǎn)換能力，都可以在速寫中顯露無遺。廣州美協(xié)副主席、本次展覽評委孫戈表示，我們這一代人對速寫是有感覺、有情懷的，從學畫那天起，就從速寫走進來，現(xiàn)在常講不忘初心，速寫就是我們的初心，“我總覺得畫速寫是一輩子的事，其魅力就在于它永遠往前走，過程本身就是幸福的”，孫戈的一席話得到了與會專家的廣泛認同。史國良、丁寧、張晶、劉罡、裔萼、張瑞田等專家表示，我們提倡速寫，不僅僅在于傳授技術(shù)上的手段，更重要的是提倡如何保有原來的對生活的關注、熱愛和面對對象的藝術(shù)感受和表達能力，這是一種精神的傳承。

參展畫家劉筱元表示，速寫是短平快的藝術(shù)，它最貼近人民、充滿地氣，特別是廣州速寫，曾經(jīng)在改革開放初期促成了面向生活、注重寫生的嶺南畫派的新面貌，成為中國美術(shù)史上的一個美術(shù)新潮。他希望廣州速寫能夠成為一個當代美術(shù)創(chuàng)作與研究的新課題。王永、孫戈、廖宗怡、汪曉曙、金城等專家認為，速寫是一個畫家的修養(yǎng)、才氣與功力的體現(xiàn)，就現(xiàn)在來說，就是要保持對事物的新鮮感覺，保持對所見有著敏銳的表現(xiàn)欲望，能夠得心應手地用自己的繪畫語言表達自己的感受。

As an artistic expression,sketching is an important means for artists to create and collect various image materials.However,with the development of photography technology,especially the popularization of mobile photography,sketching seems to be no longer valued by contemporary painters.How is the state of sketching in art today? From August 14-17,the "New Era,New Life" National Sketching Invitational Exhibition and the 4thGuangzhou Sketched Works Exhibition,under co-organization of China Art Newspaper,Publicity Department of Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee and Guangzhou City Federation of Literature and Art,academic guidance from China Artists Association,support from Guangdong Arts Association and Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts,has been committed to finding the right solution.

"The exhibition held at the Exhibition Hall of the Chinese Literary Artists has received positive response from the majority of artists and support from all walks of life.It has received more than 10,000 sketches from over 1,800 painters at home and abroad.After the review,more than 230 contemporary sketches have been displayed in the exhibition,including the forms of oil painting,gouache,ink,pen,pencil,charcoal,knife and others,indicating that the development of sketch itself is moving towards multiple paths."Said ZHU Hongzi,Vice president of China Art Newspaper.

Sketching Shows New Era and New Life

In the preparation of the exhibition,the organizing committee has organized the painters to involve in the revolutionary old district,high-tech enterprises,communities and other grassroots layers to sketch composition depicting the new era,new Guangzhou and new life.The works of this exhibition include famous masterpieces,works by painters from all over the world,and others by some young painters.The content of these works is closely related to the times,and the diverse art forms present the wonderful life.The seemingly easy and casual sketches contain a profound and thorough grasp of the object and the artistic orientation of the author's personality; some works are a success in itself,which could express the inner feelings of the author directly and honestly.This exhibition,with multiple meanings,is not only a supplement and enrichment for the national art exhibitions,but also reflects the level of contemporary Chinese sketches to a certain extent,providing an artistic position for artists to adhere to and explore the original hearts and dreams,and academic exchanges.

During the exhibition,XU Li,vice chairman and secretarygeneral of the China Artists Association specially watched the exhibition and gave high praise.He said: "Sketching is the most intuitive reflection of the artists' endeavor to involve in life.It is the most convenient way to observe and express life.The exhibition clarifies the deepest relationship between sketches and complete works,and allows us to reassess the artistic value of sketching and its positioning in the creation of new era art."

KANG Wei,editor-in-chief of the China Art Newspaper,believes that sketching is a vivid and profound expression of the artistic style of "rooting the people and taking root in life".He said that sketching,exuding emotional temperature,is filled with the heat of life,condensing the intensity of thought,showing the strength of art and carrying out beautiful discovery and creation in the life accumulation.Pieces of sketching works from different parts of the country in diverse historical periods reflect the passion for life and the persistence of art,allowing the audience to feel the original heart of the artists and the outstanding artistic creation.

Sketch "Showcases Spirituality,Talent and Profound Skills"

Sketching is an extremely direct and lively creation method for artists to face life.The promotion of sketching is not only the emphasis on the basic skills of painting,but also the sincere pursuit of art.The "New Era·New Life" National Sketching Invitational Exhibition and the 4thGuangzhou Sketched Works Exhibition promote the responsibility and obligation of the artists for the times and life by sketching,and discover the beauty of life,the truth of reality and the goodness of the people.

ZHU Xiaoyi,deputy-director of the Publicity Department of the Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee,believes that Guangzhou,as the pioneer of China's reform and opening up,has held a series of important activities celebrating the spirit of the great moves this year."New Era · New Life" is one of them,the literary form,the sketching can be most closely and directly combined with our life.I hope that,through this exhibition,more artists will focus on sketching and pay attention to current life.

At the academic seminar held at the sideline of the exhibition,WANG Yong,LI Yi,LIANG Jiang,ZHENG Gong and other experts held the opinions that sketching is one of the main basic skills of the painter to showcase spirituality,talent and skills.

The artist's experience of real objects and the ability to transform artistic expressions can be revealed in sketches thoroughly.SUN Ge,vice-chairman of the Guangzhou Artists Association and the exhibition judge,said that our generation has unique feelings about sketching.From the day of painting,we started from sketching.Now we often talk about we shouldn't forget our original heart.Sketching is our initial heart."I always think that sketching is a lifelong pursuit,the charm is that it moves forward forever,and the process itself is most happy." His words have been widely recognized by the participating experts.Experts such as SHI Guoliang,DING Ning,ZHANG Jing,LIU Gang,YI E and ZHANG Ruitian said that our advocating the sketching not only lies in teaching technical means,but more importantly,to promote how to maintain the original care of life,the artistic feeling and expression ability in facing the targeted objects,this is a spiritual inheritance.

A participating painter,LIU Xiaoyuan said that sketching is a short-and-fast art,closest to the people and full of everyday energy,especially in Guangzhou,it has promoted the new face of the Lingnan School of Painting,which is oriented towards life and focusing on painting,in the early days of reform and opening up,forming a brand-new wave of art in the artistic history of China,He hoped that the sketching of Guangzhou could become a new topic in contemporary art creation and research.Other experts as WANG Yong,SUN Ge,LIAO Zongyi,WANG Xiaoshu,JIN Cheng and etc.believe that sketching is a reflection of a painter's cultivation,talent and skill.For now,it is to maintain a fresh sense of objects,a keen expression of what you see and use your own painting language to express your feelings.
