主题画通过表现民生及波澜壮阔的社会变革,来提升民族凝聚力,将时代主流和生活中美好的东西与反映人民群众的审美爱好和精神情怀融为一体,是历史和现实赋予艺术家的神圣使命。而与叙事风格相一致的是写实手法,在所有绘画语言中,它更承担着一种责任和独特的艺术追求。

The theme painting promotes national cohesion by expressing people’s livelihood and the magnificent social changes. It integrates the beautiful things of the times and the life with the aesthetic interests and spiritual feelings of the people. It is a sacred mission given to artists by history and reality. Consistent with the narrative style is realism. In all painting languages, it bears a responsibility and a unique artistic pursuit.
