在大学的时候,我学的是形色结合的写实油画,当时我对笔触很感兴趣,而不喜欢无笔触的古典油画。1982年我到中国美术学院油画系进修,学的还是形色结合的写实油画,好在此时幸遇名师,既学到了技巧,又提高了修养,但这时我仍然偏爱“笔触”。这以后,我陆续看了几个西方油画原作展,领略了古今西方艺术大师油画原作的风采,发现各种画法皆有杰作。渐渐地,我意识到古典油画的深奥和精妙,不再以笔触论高低。 从1988年开始,我尝试着画几幅“假古典”。我没学过古典画技法,仍以厚涂法作画。我收敛了笔触,尽力将印象派的写实色彩与古典油画的严谨结合起来,并努力使自己的作品象我见过的一些名作那样完整耐看。但不久,我又被国内热热闹闹的各种主义和流派搅得心神不宁,无所适从。特别是最近这十余年当中,眼看许多熟人和学生,在写实能力较差的情况下“变形”、“表现”或“抽象”,显得极有水平,并偶得赞誉。我对此迷惑不解,甚至对写实油画丧失了信心。这种状态反复发作,持续了很长时间。后来,我认真读阅了不少现代艺术方面的书和画,逐渐了解 When I was in college, I studied realistic oil painting with a combination of shapes and colors. At the time, I was very interested in brush strokes, but I did not like brush painting without classical painting. In 1982, I went to the Oil Painting Department of the China Academy of Art for further studies. I also learned the realistic oil painting with the combination of form and color. Fortunately, I was fortunate enough to encounter the famous teacher at this time. I not only learned the skills but also improved my self - cultivation. However, I still prefer the brush strokes. Since then, I have watched several exhibitions of original Western oil paintings in succession, enjoying the style of the original oil paintings of ancient and modern Western masters. I found that all kinds of paintings have their own masterpieces. Gradually, I realized that the esoteric and subtlety of classical oil painting is no longer the height of brushwork. Since 1988, I have tried to draw a few “fake classical”. I have not learned classical painting techniques, still thick coating method for painting. I closed my brushwork and tried my best to combine the realistic colors of Impressionism with the rigor of classical oil painting, and I tried hard to make my work look as complete as some of the masterpieces I have ever seen. However, I soon became distracted and confused by the various schools and schools in the country that were bustling. Especially in the past ten years or so, many acquaintances and students, seeing “distortion”, “performance” or “abstraction” in the context of poor realism, are extremely proficient and even acclaimed. I was puzzled and even lost faith in realistic oil painting. This state of repeated attacks, lasted a long time. Later, I seriously read a lot of modern art books and paintings, and gradually understand
