二十世纪二三十年代中国画画坛的国学回归潮

The Current of Returning to Nationalism in Chinese Paintings in 1920s and 1930s

中国的20世纪是西方化倾向与民族性回归矛盾对立的世纪,而西化倾向无疑更具影响。但在20至30年代,国人却因西人自己的反思而引发反省,出现了一股复兴国学的思潮。这股复兴思潮促使国画再度受人关注,文人画重新崛起,国画研究机构与组织大量出现,对中国本位文化、民族性、民族精神、传统绘画本质特性、中西比较、民族形式诸问题的学术探讨蔚然成风。

China’s 20th century is one of the oppositions between westernization and nationalist return,of which,the former is no doubt of greater influence. But in the 1920s and 1930s,the Chinese started their retrospect of their own culture owing to the westerners’ self-reflection,out of which came a current of nationalist research. This revival of nationalist research attracted people’s attention to Chinese paintings,resulting from which were the rebirth of literati paintings and the establishment of research institutions and organizations of national paintings,fostering an overwhelming academic research in such fields as Chinese native culture,nationality,national spirit,the nature of traditional paintings,the comparison between Chinese and western paintings,and national forms.
