现代性溯源——徐悲鸿对中国画的另一种反思

Return to the Origin: Xu Beihong’s Reflection About Chinese Painting

20世纪上半叶,徐悲鸿先后发表文章讨论中国艺术的复兴问题与文化建设。他聚焦于在丝绸之路沿线进行临摹创作的艺术家们的艺术创作与实践,探讨绘画艺术丰富的文化信息与鲜活形式;同时梳理师法造化的艺术广度,从艺术语言、艺术成就到审美意涵,从宏观演变的勾勒到诸多细节的敏锐发现与辨析,广泛考察艺术家的声气相通和互为影响,以期真正汇聚中国各种社会力量的共同行为,形成方向、途径、力度、人才培养与后继传承,进而展现了新的价值观和人文思想。

In the first half of the 20th century, Xu Beihong published articles on the revival of Chinese art and cultural construction. He focused on the artistic creation and practice of artists who copied and created along the Silk Road to discuss rich cultural information and vivid forms of painting art. Meanwhile, the artistic breadth of his idea of imitating the nature is analyzed from such aspects as the artistic language, artistic achievement and aesthetic meaning to outline its macro-evolution, differentiate and analyze many details. Besides, the connection and mutual effects among artists are extensively investigated in the paper, in order to gather the common behavior of China’s various social forces, form the direction, approach, strength, talent training and succession, and bring forth new values and humanistic ideas.
