白秀娥:陕北妹子的剪纸生涯

PAPER-CUT LIFE OF BAI XIU-E, AGIRL IN THE NORTH OF SHANXI PROVINCE

2004年4月,为向联合国教科文组织申报人类文化遗产,中国美术馆举办了“走进母亲河”的剪纸展览。其中的作者多为80岁、90岁,乃至百岁以上。这种年龄构成反映出中国剪纸部落的真实生态。到哪里去找古老剪纸艺术的后代传人呢?本文的主人公白秀娥自拿起剪刀至今已32年,她长期浸淫在陕北源远流长的剪纸文化中,吃透了这一传统。她今年36岁,在中国剪纸的未来岁月中,她极可能是薪尽火传、光大传统的砥柱和中坚。 20多年来,生肖邮票一直坚持扎根在民间艺术中。其宗旨无疑既是为了带领集邮者“故国神游”,又是为了使这些濒危的艺术绝地逢生。但是与这一宗旨相违背的是主办者重物不重人,看重民间艺术而不看重民间艺术家。他们没有凭借生肖票高大的平台,托举和帮衬民间艺术家。支持后者的手段其实很多,比如邀请设计者参加邮票首发式、隆重宣传设计者,等等。高报酬不是惟一,也不是必行的手段,但不失为支持民间艺术家的手段之一,生肖票毕竟印制了近亿张。然而发生在蛇年生肖票设计者身上的是,邮票发行时她没有得到一分钱,还失去了她的署名权。 我们推出这篇文章,一言以蔽之,是为了呼吁人们爱护民间艺术家。她(他)们是国宝,是活化石,是传统文化艺术基因仅存的载体。我们正处在丢失和复活这一基因的十字路口。而激活这?

Bai Xiu-e is a young paper-cut artist in the north of Shanxi Province. The media calls her Chinese folk paper-cut artist with the highest consciousness of intellectual property protection'. The author of this article points out: 'During the interview, she showed me the photos and copies of her works. However, for the One Hundred Ox and the Yellow River Household, She definitely told me that she was unwilling to offer them to the media, to prevent others from 'stealing her skill' and pirating. The creative folk artists have lost more and n market. One new works, created arduously, is quoted from dozens of yuan to one hundred But its copy is duplicated in a large amount by scanning, only with a cost of several This situation is getting worse, many creative folk artists cannot afford to support themselves. It is necessary that I emphasize this fact, and hope your publication can raise an appeal.
