A few days ago, old painting comes to famous artist and culture essayist to Nanjing university, with Na Dazhong professor of constitution of civil department week made " of the aesthetic in condition of visual culture words and art to talking " lecture. Old red expressed the point of view of some alarm person when blueness and attendant student communication: When brushwork already was passed, china does not need so much painter now.
He says, we think brushwork is artistic now, use appreciation, but such appreciation view is less than 200 years in the west. Take the place of in time to Gu Xila, Gu Ai from mediaeval trace, the painter is to rely on to order will draw, rice is optimistic fine jade collect, amount to · fragrance to surprise to be drawn for cathedral, ba Luo overcomes a painter to be drawn for palace, still more professional painters are aristocratic picture, that moment does not have for art artistic view, but the golden age that is brushwork then, because brushwork is video only form, assume practical media function, extremely important. And the birth of photography, film, TV, superseded painterly practical function, begin from impressionist school so, painters begin to be drawn for oneself, the painterly creation of style of individual of this kind of footloose, pursuit and appeal expression has 100 only old.
Old painting says: "Below today's visual environment, brushwork is antiquated even, myself does not do art exhibition, because I know my thing is of the appreciation inside the circle, the masses does not need my picture, what the masses needs is serials, card is pulled OK mixes big. To the masses, brushwork is returned as the hobby pretty good, but I oppose present art education, it still is delivering a message, it is very important still to draw namely. Actually it is an industry catenary, a lot of examinee, teacher, still have presswork, production of gesso, paper relies on this to have a meal. China is the giantest art education country on the world, so huge beautiful courtyard system still is in thousands of ground every year recruit students, this supply demand relations is unbalanced, I do not believe China needs so much painter. Actually they graduate to face unemployment, regular meeting goes working other, decorate and so on for instance. Of course the market can adjust, but it is very painful that this adjusts, be in the best days bad news this because of the youth above. Be in the best days bad news this because of the youth above..
