Excuse me, does anyone know where there is a similar album in Chengdu that specializes in painting teahouses or citizens' life scenes, but Southwest Book City doesn't?
Introduction to folk art
Folk art is a culture created and loved by people for thousands of years, and it is also the creation of people's wisdom. Many masterpieces of folk art have been handed down and preserved as "a must in China", including "folk paper-cut" paintings and other "craft treasures".
Folk art research since this century;
If we look up the art literature in the past hundred years, we will find that in the first few decades of this century, the articles related to folk art research are almost blank, while the related articles are mostly introductory, and the authors are mostly folklore workers.
Indeed, the initial study of folk art in China developed with the rise of folklore and related disciplines. At the beginning of this century, a group of scholars, writers and artists in folklore, ethnology, sociology and cultural anthropology, who were active in the May 4th New Culture Movement, paid attention to the objective existence of folk art to varying degrees while engaged in their respective professional work. At that time, these non-art majors often took folk art as evidence to study customs and folk beliefs, and paid attention to it, and investigated, collected, sorted out, displayed, introduced and studied it. These folk arts were called "folk goods", "national handicrafts", "national cultural relics", "folk handicrafts" and "peasant art" in their research work.
Peking University Customs Investigation Agency was founded in 1923, with the main purpose of "collecting cultural relics related to customs and establishing a customs museum" at the beginning. (1) Then in January of 13th year (1924), 286 New Year customs (such as gods, New Year pictures, etc.) were collected. (2) Because of "customs investigation", in addition to accounts, we should start with the collection of goods; Then you can get good information to study. " (3) In the south, the Folk Society of Sun Yat-sen University, which belongs to the College of Literature of National Sun Yat-sen University, has set up a "Folk Articles Showroom". Over the past few years, * * * has collected tens of thousands of pieces of "jewelry, clothes, shoes and hats, music, applied appliances, industrial appliances, children's appliances, gambling tools, artifacts, tools for the dead, relics of imperial examinations, relics of officials and gentry, folk songs and southwest ethnic cultural relics. ⑷
1in the first month of 935, the illustration of Jin Ping Mei collected by Zheng Zhenduo and Yangliuqing New Year Pictures collected by Jin were exhibited at the first national woodcut exhibition held in Beijing. This was the first public exhibition of folk art after sorting out and selecting, and it was conducted under the direct guidance of Mr. Lu Xun. Mr. Lu Xun attaches great importance to the collection and research of national folk art works. He once introduced folk art works such as "Flower Paper Head" and "Toys Made by Jiangbei People" with appreciation, and spoke highly of these "producers' art". From 65438 to 0937, Mr. Yan Shuilong, a painter from Taiwan Province Province, spent five months investigating the folk handicrafts of ethnic groups in mountainous areas and collected a large number of objects. In the same year, a "Folk Photo Exhibition" was held in Hangzhou. The exhibits are collected by teachers and students of Hangzhou People's Education Experimental School. Mr. Zhong Jingwen introduced the exhibition and its exhibits in his special article "The Significance of Folk Photo Exhibition", pointing out that "folk painters can often express the images of things that people care about and are most moved by with simple red stripes or monotonous and strong colors. "Under the advocacy and introduction of scholars, the society at that time had a certain understanding of folk art.
At about this time, under the initiative of Mr. Cai Yuanpei, the investigation and research work of ethnology, folk art and handicraft industry of Academia Sinica and Central Museum [6] was also carried out in a planned way. An investigation team composed of Ling Chunsheng, Ma Changshou, Pang Xunqin, Rui Yifu, Li Lincan, Tan and others made scientific and systematic field visits in Northeast China, Southwest China, Sichuan and Taiwan Province Province around 1930 and between 1937 and 1942, respectively, and collected clothes and clothing. Due to the scientific method and complete materials, these materials have high scientific and aesthetic value and are still playing a role today.
1942, Comrade Mao Zedong published "Speech at Yan 'an Forum on Literature and Art", calling on literary and art workers in the Liberated Areas to step out of "Little Lu Art" and move towards "Big Lu Art", move towards the people, learn from the people and learn from the excellent folk cultural traditions, and achieved considerable results. Artists in Yan 'an and other places, on the basis of learning folk New Year pictures and paper-cutting, have created a large number of works that the masses like. Xinhua Daily and other border newspapers have also published articles about artists learning folk art. These articles, together with articles written by folk scholars in Kuomintang-controlled areas, can be said to be the earliest articles on studying folk art..
1In July, 949, the Central Museum, which returned to the people's hands, held the "Cultural Relics Exhibition of Southwest and South Minorities in China", which caused a sensation in the society. In 1950s, folk art exhibitions of different scales were held under the organization of the cultural departments of local governments. Many artists and arts and crafts artists actively participated in this activity, but at the same time they also had a heated discussion on the theoretical issues of folk art, but for various reasons, this discussion did not reach a conclusion and left the issue to history.
In the 1980s, with the in-depth development of socialist cultural construction, many experts and scholars, out of the heart of promoting national culture and advocating patriotism, made serious and in-depth research and discussion on the theoretical issues of folk art on the basis of investigation, collection and arrangement, and made great progress. On the other side of the Taiwan Strait, scholars in Taiwan Province Province published works such as Journey of Folk Art, Folk Art in Taiwan Province Province, Early Folk Art in Taiwan Province Province, Origin of Folk Art and a number of picture books on the basis of field investigation and historical investigation.
198 1 In May, the Arts and Crafts Corporation of the Ministry of Light Industry held the "National Folk Arts and Crafts Exhibition" in the Beijing National Culture Palace, and the artist Lian (9) took the overall planning and design. At the same time, there is also the "National Minority Costume Exhibition" jointly organized by the State Ethnic Affairs Commission and the National Cultural Palace. These two exhibitions have aroused great interest of Beijing cultural people, and many literary theorists and scholars have written articles in newspapers and periodicals to express their impressions and explore the theoretical problems of folk art. Art magazine sponsored by China Artists Association also opened a column of "China Folk Art" to introduce folk art, and published a large number of theoretical discussion articles on folk art, which set off a climax of learning and studying folk art.
1983 In July, the Academy of Fine Arts of China Academy of Fine Arts and Guizhou Branch of China Artists Association jointly held the "Folk Art Academic Seminar" in Guizhou. 1983 In February, the "Inaugural Meeting of China Folk Arts and Crafts Committee" was held in Foshan, Guangdong, which were two important meetings held in the same year. At these two meetings, folk art experts, professional and amateur researchers, comrades engaged in art education and artistic creation, and producers and leaders of arts and crafts from all over the country discussed theoretical and practical issues such as the object and scope, purpose and significance, methods and classification of folk arts and crafts research, and held that "folk art is the art of producers" (in Lu Xun's words), the beauty creation of working people and everything. "Folk art reflects and shows the specific national psychology and national character, and also affects the formation and development of specific national psychology and national character. Folk art is full of local characteristics and temperament, which can arouse people's homesickness and national feelings. The sculpture and visibility of folk art make it one of the most intuitive and popular forms of folk literature and art, and the duality of practicality and aesthetics in the largest number of folk crafts makes it integrate people's material life and spiritual life. " ⑾ "It permeates all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and shows the national temperament and style of the Chinese nation. Historically, all forms of arts and crafts have been developed on the basis of folk art "(10) These understandings can be said to be the synthesis of theoretical discussions between folk art experts and researchers at that time, which is relatively complete.
From 65438 to 0986, the Central Academy of Fine Arts established the Department of Folk Fine Arts, and China Academy of Fine Arts began to recruit graduate students majoring in folk fine arts. From 65438 to 0988, the National Folk Art Work Conference was held under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture, and the China Folk Art Society was established. In the years around 1990s, many academic annual conferences were held in various places, and hundreds of papers and field investigation reports were collected and exchanged, most of which were published in magazines such as China Folk Crafts. These articles cover all fields of folk art and the relationship between folk art and related disciplines, laying a good foundation for further exploring the connotation and extension of folk art.
Like other literature subjects, the research on folk art in the 1990s received due attention and made considerable achievements. A number of research projects have been listed as national key projects and have been funded by the National Social Science Fund. New Year pictures, shadow play, paper cutting and other complete works of China fine arts, as well as the multi-volume Complete Works of China Folk Fine Arts and Hunan Folk Fine Arts, have been published one after another, and won many awards at home and abroad, showing the world China's achievements in studying folk fine arts.
The research on China folk art in the past century has gone through the process from scratch, from small to large, from subsidiary to independent through the efforts of several generations. In the new century, it will certainly make greater contributions to the construction of socialist culture.
