画家黄胄

Huang Zhou, the Chinese Master Painter

黄胄的创作实践为中国人物画的发展开创了一条新路。从千阳写生到师从赵望云及两赴黄泛区写生,黄胄艺术渐渐走向第一个创作高峰,在60年代初创作了《庆丰收》、《载歌行》、《奔腾急》等代表作。其后,黄胄以"必攻不守"的精神,走出人生低谷,在80年代初迎来创作的第二个高峰,以《叼羊图》、《赛牛图》、《草原逐戏图》等最富特色。黄胄非常强调生活对艺术创作的重要性,通过速写、写生来认识和感受生活,并在从速写到中国画创作的转换中形成独特的艺术风格。黄胄的言论等被整理为《黄胄谈艺术》一书,是现代人物画创作的理论总结。黄胄晚年积极筹建了炎黄艺术馆等,为中国当代美术事业做出重大贡献。

Huang Zhou＇s painting activities pioneered a new way for Chinese figure painting. By sketching from life at Qianyang, studying under Zhao Wangyun, and drawing from life twice in areas that suffered from the Yellow River floods, Huang gradually stepped into the first peak of his career as a painter and produced representative works such as Celebrating the Harvest, Travelling and Singing, and Gallop in the early 1960s. Then, in the spirit of ＂always striving and innovating, never being conservative＂, Huang walked out of the slump of his life and reached the second peak of his career in the 1980s, which was represented by the works Scrambling for a Sheep, Cattle Racing, and Chasing and Playing on the Steppe. Huang emphasized the important influence of life experiences on the artistic creation. He accumulated the comprehension of life through quick sketch and painting from nature and developed a unique artistic style in the transition from quick sketch to traditional Chinese painting. Huang＇s ideas and words were collected in the book Huang Zhou＇s Opinions Oll Art （Huangzhou Tan Yishu）, a summary of modern figure painting theory. In his later years, Huang established the Yan Huang Art Museum and made a great contribution to Chinese contemporary art.
