平实铸就超凡——刘文西代表作《祖孙四代》艺术语言分析

Plain Casting Transcendence——Analyzing the Artistic Language of Four Generations by Liu Wenxi

刘文西的《祖孙四代》,无论在其众多的个人作品中,还是在中国现代美术史中,都堪称里程碑式的精品力作。本文以刘文西创作《祖孙四代》前的素描样式为切入点,着重从其作品造型、技法的"平"(平面)与"实"(写实),对《祖孙四代》的绘画语言特色进行分析,论述其语言民族化生成的脉络、样态及这种脱胎于写实素描的民族化语言样式对现代水墨人物画语言衍变的贡献与意义。

The Four Generations created by Liu Wenxi could be treated as a monumental classic work no matter among his own works or in the modern Chinese art history.Starting from the sketch of the Four Generations,this thesis makes analysis on the character of its painting language,especially on the ＂plain＂ and ＂realness＂ of the profiling and techniques,so as to discuss the context and manner born from the nationalization of his language,and the contribution and meaning of the national language manner born from realistic sketch to the evolution of the language of modern portrait painting of ink and wash.
