八大山人与当代艺术

Badashanren and Contemporary Art

八大山人是中国历史上最伟大的画家之一,由于他的独特身世而学兼儒道释三家,使得他的艺术在精神立意、技法修养、悟进创造三方面既渊源清晰,又卓尔不群。而许多中国当代艺术家恰恰在这三方面的认识不足,造成当代艺术品与传统艺术品比起来显得肤浅乏味。重新认识优秀的传统艺术,仍然是当代艺术寻找方向、继续发展的有效途径。

Badashanren （1626--1705）, a renowned calligrapher and painter, became outstanding with his spiritual conception because of his unique life experience. He studied Confucianim,Taoism and Buddhism,which greatly improved his conception, painting skills and creation. However a lot of contemporary artists can not undertand these three aspects exactly, which has caused the superficialness and dullness of the contemporary work of art to compare with the traditional. So re -outstanding traditional art and tapping masters like Badashanren is still the direction for us to seek new way of contemporary art and is an effective way to develop fine traditional art continuously.
