晚清上海书画名家的社会生活

Social Life of Famous Artists of Shanghai in Late Qing Dynasty

小刀会起义以后,上海租界逐步繁荣起来。其时租界华洋杂居,五方杂处,各种新生行业的生成,催生了一批富人,为书画作品的市场化提供了可能。与此同时,一批落魄文人携艺寓居沪上,他们靠卖字鬻画为生,并很快获得了对所居城市的认同感。他们不仅以同业组织相互联络,共同维护自身的利益,而且尽己所能,从事公益性的社会活动,显示出移民城市的特征和一群艺术家的真实生活状态。

After the fall of Small Swords Society Uprising,the Shanghai Concession began to boom,making possible the marketization of works of painting and calligraphy.Some dissolute men of letters who resided in Shanghai lived on selling their art works.They not only maintained their own interests by connecting organizations of the same trade but also engaged in social activities of public welfare.This shows the true life status of some artists and features of an immigrant city.
