Introduce the three schools of China Academy of Fine Arts' Strength Idol College?
Nowadays, in Wangjing, where artists gather in Beijing, there is a joke: if you don't understand Sichuan dialect, don't engage in contemporary art. This joke is not only because a group of Sichuan artists have formed a "Sichuan gang" in Wangjing, but also because Sichuan artists account for one-third or even half of today's important domestic and international contemporary art exhibitions and related publications in China. Most of them graduated from Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts.
Chuanmei is located in the west with few rules and regulations, which is especially suitable for the growth of artists. Bashu art has been extraordinary since ancient times. Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts has maintained a traditional and contemporary, academic and popular attitude since Sichuan oil painting emerged in the national art exhibition in 1979. Almost every graduate can produce a new person in China art circle, which has become a lineage of Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts. The graduates of Grade 77 and Grade 78 are not only the pride of Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts, but also the pride of the whole oil painting circle in China. From this group, not only Luo Zhongli, He Duoling, Zhang Xiaogang, but also Cheng Conglin, Ye Yongqing, Zhou Chunya, Yang Qian and a series of famous figures in today's painting circle have emerged.
Bloomberg graduated from sichuan fine arts institute Fine Arts Education Department in 26, majoring in oil painting. The 26-year-old Chongqing boy has participated in many important joint exhibitions, and many of his works have been collected by art galleries and important collectors. Now he has his own studio in Beijing Huantie Art Zone. As for why Chuanmei can lead the way in the field of contemporary art, he thinks: "The atmosphere of Chuanmei College has always been free, and students' creation is based on spontaneity. From the freshman year, the teacher gave us creative guidance, took us to do small exhibitions and hold academic seminars, and brought our works into the public domain for dialogue with the public very early. And these activities, other colleges generally do not let students do until their junior year. Moreover, the school often invites famous people like Han Xiangning and Fang Lijun to have academic exchanges for us, which is enough to enlighten people with rigid minds. In addition, the relationship between teachers and students in Chuanmei is also very good. For example, in the evening, we can drink and talk about art with teacher Ye Yongqing, which may be rare in other colleges. "
Interpreting the creativity of Sichuan-American painters from another angle is not unrelated to the relaxed artistic environment of the Academy of Fine Arts. When Zhang Xiaogang was admitted to the university in 1977, sichuan fine arts institute only recruited two students in Yunnan. When others told him that his personnel relationship was taken away by Sichuan, Zhang Xiaogang said, "Impossible, I am so poor." In fact, since the students of Grade 77 and Grade 78 entered the school, sichuan fine arts institute has gradually formed a "tradition"-"Heroes don't ask about qualifications". There are extraordinary works in school, which are regarded as "heroes". In Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts, young people can grow up in an almost "wild" ecology, with little authoritative interference. It is the college's duty to promote and introduce new people, and talents naturally come to the fore. Because of this, we can see that the works of Sichuan artists are not without free and unrestrained characteristics. For example, Zhang Xiaogang's "Big Family" series provides a historical and critical reading way for contemporary culture in China by gazing at the old photos of the 195s and 196s, and by its simple, direct, calm and indifferent image and typed reproduction way from the family experience and individual identity.
In contrast, Chinese painting in Sichuan has not occupied its due position in the reform and development of contemporary Chinese painting, which is also related to the geography, culture and tradition of this region. However, we have to admit that in the development of China's contemporary art in the 199s, the artistic creations of Sichuan and Chongqing are the most creative parts of China's contemporary art, and they have indeed constituted the most dynamic artistic landscape in China's contemporary art.
Hangzhou, a famous historical and cultural city, is rich in pearls and jade, and is full of people. Eighty years ago, in a small courtyard next to the lonely mountain in Hangzhou, several artists and educators rented these houses for a silver dollar and established the first art college in China. After 8 years, this school has developed into a famous art institution-China Academy of Fine Arts. The abundance and comfort of the land of fish and rice, the warm and pleasant weather and scenery have all become fertile soil for artists to create. Wu Guanzhong, Zhu Dequn, Fan Ceng, etc. all went abroad here to become a generation of masters.
China Academy of Fine Arts-Academic School
In the spring of p>1928, outstanding educators Cai Yuanpei and Lin Fengmian chose the West Lake in Hangzhou to establish the first comprehensive national higher art institution in China-the National Academy of Fine Arts, which is the predecessor of China Academy of Fine Arts. Today, China Academy of Fine Arts has three campuses: Nanshan, Xiangshan and Zhangjiang.
The colors of all the teaching buildings in China Academy of Fine Arts are very uniform gray, but there are warm colors interspersed in the gray tones. Driving into the campus slowly by car feels like entering an ink painting. Its shape can be divided into several groups, one is a combination of more geometric shapes; One is a house that inherits the Huizhou style. The design of the whole college all embodies the characteristics of China literati art.
Moreover, the location of China Academy of Fine Arts is quite meaningful. China Academy of Fine Arts is a very special university, which requires very high landscape environment. From the time of Cai Yuanpei and Lin Fengmian, the Academy of Fine Arts has been positioned as a "landscape college" and needs to be built in a beautiful place with mountains and water. For example, the first school site is West Lake Gushan, and the second one is the current Nanshan Road. This is the tradition of this school. The geographical environment of Zhuantang Xiangshan includes mountains, water and trees, as well as egrets all over the mountain. This spirituality of nature can arouse artists' poetic feelings and conform to people's aesthetic concepts, so Zhuantang Xiangshan is selected as the school site now.
