近年来,欣赏中国画的人多了起来,讨论中国画的人也多了起来。如果画家与批评家坐在一条板凳上讨论问题,倒也是不错的一件事情。问题是,美术批评家已成为专门的职业,常常从云端上俯视画家,很浅显的道理,被他们弄得玄而又玄。我不知道,这是绘画的幸事呢还是不幸。哲人有言,理论是灰色的。这是经典之言,那种自己没有任何实践,仅只是从理论到理论的玄言,则更是灰得难看了。 In recent years, more people appreciate Chinese painting, and more people discuss Chinese painting. If the painter and the critic sitting on a bench to discuss the problem, it is not a bad thing. The problem is that art critics have become specialized professions, often overlooking the clouds from the painter, very simple truth, they made mysterious and profound. I do not know, this is the blessing of painting or unfortunate. Philosophers have words, the theory is gray. This is a classic saying, that there is no practice of any kind and that it is even more unspeakable to mere metaphysics from theory to theory.
