艺术家的自我实现与时代担当——谈徐悲鸿艺术创作中的民族精神

The Artist's Self-realization And Responsibility of the Times——On the National Spirit in Xu Beihong's Artistic Creation

艺术家并不是普通意义上的人,而是一个允许艺术通过他来实现艺术目的之人。艺术家应认识到,自身的思想认识、价值判断与艺术观念不仅是个人行为,还具有社会效应,是思想文化的引领者。因此,艺术家具有自我实现与时代担当的双重使命。艺术家在追求品行高洁、理论精深、技法纯熟的艺术探索过程中实现自我价值,同时还要担负起时代赋予的责任,以优秀的艺术作品教育感染大众,发挥艺术的导向功能,成为视野广阔和洞察力深刻的思想者、引领者和行为者。徐悲鸿作为一代艺术大师,出色地完成了这一双重使命,在国画、素描、油画三个领域均取得了卓越成就,作品熔古今中外技法于一炉,风格新颖独特。同时,又将鲜明的政治立场、不屈的民族精神、浓烈的爱国情怀蕴含于创作之中。徐悲鸿正是在不懈的艺术探索中,将艺术家的自我实现与时代担当完美地结合在一起,以爱国为民的理想抱负和卓有见识的艺术创造,凝聚成继往开来的文化风范,树立了一代艺术家的光辉典范。

An artist is not a person in the ordinary sense,but a person with a higher sense,aperson who allows art to achieve his artistic purpose.Artists should realize that their own ideas,value judgments and artistic ideas are not only personal behaviors,but also have social effects and are the leaders of ideology and culture.Therefore,the artist shoulders the dual mission of self-realization and responsibility of the times.In the pursuit of high quality,profound theory,skilled art to explore the process of self-worth,artists also take on the responsibility of the times to educate the public with outstanding works of art,and play the role of guiding art on the whole,and finally become the powerful thinkers,leaders and actors with broad vision and insight.Xu Beihong,a master of art,has completed this dual mission excellently.In the painting,sketch,and oil painting,he has made outstanding achievements,in which he has presented his mixed techniques of ancient and modern methods with unique styles.Meanwhile,his political stance,unyielding national spirit,strong patriotic feelings are all contained in his creation.It is in the relentless artistic exploration that Xu Beihong combined are with the artist’s self-realization and responsibility of the times perfectly.Xu Beihong was set up a brilliant example for the generation of artists,with the patriotic ideal ambition and insight into the art of creation which are condensed into the future culture style.
