天津中国画述要——兼论“津派国画”由来

A Brief Account of Chinese Painting in Tianjin and the Origin of "Tianjin School of Chinese Painting"

天津的中国画历史与它建城的发展史密切相关,早期的名家名作不多。自明代朱棣由此南征后,几百年来天津逐渐成为中国北方的重镇,作为京畿要津,文化艺术随政治、经济的发展日益繁盛,尤其清末民初以来,名家汇集津门,逐渐形成"津派国画"的雏形。新中国建立后,艺术家与时代相适应,创作出了一批反映社会发展的佳作,使"津派国画"在全国产生了广泛影响。天津作为一座移民汇集、不断发展的国际化大都市,由其地域特征和历史背景所形成的"津派国画"具有开放性、传统性、市民性、融合性的特征。

The history of Chinese painting in Tianjin is closely related to the history of the founding of the city.Therewere very few masters and masterpieces in Tianjin in early years.After Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty crossed the river in Tianjin in his southward expedition,Tianjin gradually became an important city in North China.Located in the capital region,the culture and art in this area are increasingly flourishing with its political and economic development.Especially in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republican period,a large number of famous artists came to Tianjin,and the“Tianjin School of Chinese Paining”in an embryonic form gradually came into being.After the founding of the People’s Republic of China(1949),in order to meet the need of the new era,the artists in Tianjin created a large number of excellent art works that reflected social development,leading to the nation-wide influence of“Tianjin School of Chinese Painting”.Tianjin is a constantly developing international metropolitan where quite a number of immigrants are living,and the“Tianjin School of Chinese Painting”that formed on the basis of its regional character and historical background has the character of being open,traditional,civic,and inclusive.
