二十年前,我发表关于“中国画穷途末路”文章后,国勇亦写了一篇与我观点相似的文章,发表在同一刊物上,这算做是一次神交。五年前,我主持“新中国画大展”,邀请国勇参展,他拿出了几张大篇幅的力作,在展览上引起了关注。前年我去西安,到陈国勇的画室看画,发现国勇的画风发生了较为明显的变化,我想,这种变化是由于复杂的因素促成的。 Twenty years ago, after I published an article on “The End of the Road to Chinese Painting,” Guoyong also wrote an article similar to my point of view and published in the same issue. Five years ago, I presided over the “New Chinese Painting Exhibition” and invited Guoyong to participate in the exhibition. He took out a few pieces of great works and attracted the attention of the exhibition. Two years ago I went to Xi’an and went to Chen Guoyong to see the paintings in the studio. I found that the style of Guoyong changed significantly. I think this change is due to complicated factors.
