以油画为代表的西画,在19世纪末由欧洲传入中国后,在这片古老的土地上,落地生根,蓬勃发展,至今已有一百多年的历史。20世纪80年代以来,随着我国改革开放政策的实施,促进了中外文化的交流,我们有了更多的机会去学习与借鉴国外的油画作品,吸收外来的艺术语言,这使得我国的油画在近几十年来有了迅猛发展,油画语言趋于完整,艺术技巧趋于成熟,艺术手法更加丰富多样。从油画在中国发展的一百多年历史来看,苏州做出了不可忽视的重要贡献。然而,因为历史渊源和地理位置的缘故,地处长江三角洲、太湖之滨的苏州不是我国的政治中心和文化中心,所以在某种程度上,它在我国美术发展史中的重要作用未能得到应有关注。实际上,无论在中国画领域还是西画(包括粉画、版画等)领域,苏州所起的作用都是很关键的。 Western painting represented by oil painting came into being in this ancient land after it was introduced into China from Europe in the late 19th century. It has a history of over 100 years and has taken root and flourished. Since the 1980s, with the implementation of China’s policy of reform and opening up and the promotion of cultural exchanges between China and the rest of the world, we have had more opportunities to learn from foreign oil paintings and absorb foreign artistic language. This has made the painting of our country With the rapid development in recent decades, the language of painting tends to be complete, the artistic skills tend to mature, and the artistic techniques are more varied. From the history of more than one hundred years of oil painting development in China, Suzhou has made an important contribution that can not be ignored. However, because of historical origin and geographical location, Suzhou, located in the Yangtze River Delta and the coast of Taihu Lake, is not the political center and cultural center of our country. Therefore, to some extent, its important role in the history of the development of Chinese art failed to be obtained Should be concerned. In fact, the role of Suzhou is crucial both in the field of Chinese painting and in the field of Western painting (including powder painting, printmaking, etc.).
