新时代的红色经典——新中国第一次重大革命历史题材美术创作活动

Red Masterpieces of New Era:The First Art Creation Activity on Revolutionary and Historical Themes in People's Republic of China

新中国成立之初,随着美术事业的推进,关于革命历史题材美术创作的探索也初步展开。中国国家博物馆历史上的第一次革命历史题材美术创作活动,是以1951年3月筹备"中国共产党三十周年纪念展览"为缘起,大约持续到1958年8月,是新中国美术史上此类题材美术创作在起步阶段的一次有意义的尝试。这次美术创作以党史题材为核心,由于陈列内容的不断修改,美术作品的征集和创作也一直在延续。中国国家博物馆组织革命历史题材美术创作活动,不仅在创作方法和组织模式方面累积了经验,而且丰富了博物馆的艺术收藏,同时对20世纪新中国美术事业的发展产生了深远影响,由此产生的一批优秀美术作品,更成为了一个时代的经典。

Since the establishment of the People＇s Republic of China, art creation on revolutionary and historical themes was gradually developed. The first art creation activity on these themes, organized by the National Museum of China, originated from ＂The Commemorative Exhibition for the 30th Anniversary of the Communist Party of China＂. The creation began in March 1951 and lasted till August 1958. It was a significant attempt in the art history of the PRC. The art creation concentrated on the history of the Communist Party of China, and continued as content of the exhibition changed. By organizing this art creation, the National Museum of China gained experience and gathered collections. The art creation had profound influences on the development of Chinese art in 20th century. Artworks created during that time have become classics of the era.
