“九一八”事变后,祖国的大片河山异色,中华民族处于危亡之际,有志的爱国艺术青年不甘于再走“为艺术而艺术”的道路,要求为拯救祖国为人民而艺术。当时,上海的革命文艺之风不时吹到杭州来,鲁迅先生极力提倡木刻,他于1929年以“艺苑朝华”的名义出版了两本《近代木刻选集》,1930年又出版了《新俄画选》。尤其是同年出版的德国画家梅斐尔德的木刻《士敏土之图》对我们很有影响。况且“一八艺社”已被开除出校的胡一川等同学就早已尝试刻木刻了。在这种历史背景下,我们就勇敢地拿起了新的艺术武器——木刻刀。 鲁迅先生在《新俄画选》的《小引》中就明确指出:他之多取版画的原因就在于“当革命时,版画之用最广,虽极匆忙,顷刻能办”。并说:“‘艺苑朝华’在初创时,即已注意此点,所以自一集至四集,悉取黑白线图。” After the “September 18” Incident, the vast number of rivers and mountains in the motherland are in different colors and the Chinese nation is in danger of death. The aspiring patriotic young artists are reluctant to take the road of “art for art” and demand the art of saving the motherland for the people. At that time, the style of revolutionary literature and art in Shanghai was blown to Hangzhou from time to time. Mr. Lu Xun strongly advocated woodcutting. In 1929, he published two editions of “Modern Woodcut” in the name of “Art Gallery Zarva”, and published “New Russia Painting election. ” In particular, Woodcut’s picture of the German artist Mayfield, published in the same year, has had an impact on us. Moreover, “Yi Ba Yi She” has been expelled from school Hu Yi-chuan and other students have already tried to carve wood. In this historical context, we bravely picked up a new art weapon - a woodcutter. Lu Xun clearly pointed out in the “Little Citation” of “New Russian Painting Selection”: his reason for taking more prints is that “when the revolution is done, the prints are the most widely used, though very hurried and can be done instantly”. He said: “’Art Gallery Zarva’ has paid attention to this point at the time of its launch, so from the first episode to the fourth episode, take a black and white line chart.”
