艺为人民:论刘文西的艺术图谱与精神追求

Art for the People:Discussion on Liu Wenxi's Artistic Map and Spiritual Pursuit

刘文西是新中国美术史上一个始终坚持“为人民而创作”的代表画家。他以毛泽东《在延安文艺座谈会上的讲话》与习近平《在文艺工作座谈会上的讲话》为思想源泉、以深入生活为精神动力,在融汇中西绘画精髓的基础上形成了极具个性的艺术风格。他留下的数以万计的作品相互映衬,共同勾联出一张清晰的艺术图谱,即以人民为中心、以领袖为典型、以黄土地为底色,融入生活场景和时代精神,以图像的形式讲述宏大的革命故事,以写实的形象展现变迁的社会史诗,以乐观的心态传达向上的民族风貌。
