我以为存在一种“鲁美油画现象”。鲁美油画自八十年代中叶以来屡在各种展览中夺牌获奖,引得画坛注目,这似乎就是一种现象。但我指的“现象”不仅于此,至少认为鲁美油画的崭头露角只是现象的表现。根据我对鲁美油画的观访,我感到鲁美油画家这几年在艺术上的努力要点是“调整”。概而言之,是把含有外在目的“创作”状态调整为从观念到语言相对自足的个人艺术状态。鲁美油画出了一些有影响的作品不是偶然的。鲁美油画家具有比较开阔的社会意识,当油画艺术观念仍然比较狭窄、许多写实油画跌入风土、风情窠臼时,鲁美油画较多反映了现代人心灵的丰富性与精神冲突;当油画界出现关注语言的呼声时,鲁美油画得益于画家自觉与专家办班,注重了作品的制作,在语言探索上走出了不领风气却踏踏实实的步子;在整个八十年代社会艺术思潮活跃、思变心理急切的背景中,鲁美油画的发展比较稳健……这些,都是鲁美油画有一个整体形象的原因。 I think there is a “phenomenon of oil painting in the United States.” It seems to be a phenomenon that the Lumei oil painting has won the medal winners in various exhibitions since the mid-eighties. But what I mean by “phenomenon” is not only that, at least, the appearance of Lumei oil painting is only a manifestation of the phenomenon. According to my visit to the Lumetsu oil painting, I feel that the key points of the efforts of the Lumi artist in the past few years are “adjustment.” In a nutshell, it is to adjust the state of “creation” from an external purpose to a state of individual art that is relatively self-sufficient in concept from language. It is no accident that Lumi painted some influential works. When the oil painting art concept is still relatively narrow and many realistic oil paintings fall into the terrain and style, the Lumei oil paintings reflect more the richness and spiritual conflict of modern people’s minds. When the oil painting industry Appear in the voice of concern about language, the Lumei oil painting thanks to the painter consciously and experts do classes, pay attention to the production of works in the language of exploration did not lead the trend but down to earth; in the whole eighties social thought Active, changing the psychological urgency of the background, the development of oil painting in the United States more robust ... These are the reasons for the overall image of the Lumetsu paintings.
