Historic al View and Cultural Value of the Epic oilPaintings of"Long Qing Kai Hai",an Engineer and ArtistFocusing on Chinese Civilization's History

当代史诗油画的创作是通过历史观与文物志来再现历史的真实,这种真实出自对历史认识的真实,而非照相写实主义绘画般的真实。通过文物志的引援与表述,可以更好地再现历史人物和历史情境的真实性。历史观主导着文物志的表述,受到主流文化意识的统领,承载着国家利益,并以是否符合社会历史发展潮流作为其价值评判标准。以“中华文明历史题材美术创作工程”的油画作品《隆庆开海》为例,可以看出此类入选的历史画作,一是表达出主流文化对历史认识的统领,二是中国特色的史诗油画,在传承历史图景诗化传统的基础上,还可以通过文物志来描述历史的真实性。
