"Lao Dong, you sit. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Dong Wenchang sat down angrily.

"Think about it for yourself, is Lin Haiwen's point of view reasonable? Does it mean that he is just a little kid who has not grown any hair, he is whimsical and messing around? If you say yes, we are naturally obliged to stop him! But in fact it is not, right? What he said is not unreasonable, before he said it, this was a controversial point in the industry, but it just did not break out. Now that Lin Haven has stood up and made it clear, he also has this qualification and ability, so we put on a stubborn look that can't be spilled, should we be treated as old and young, swept into the garbage heap of history?

The truth always becomes clearer and clearer, Lao Dong, you can say that you can do it, but you also have to listen to other people's voices and attitudes - and, from a professional point of view, when it comes to supporters, you shouldn't be afraid of Lin Haven. ”

Jiang Hesheng was so kind and drizzly, he forcibly wiped out Dong Wenchang's anger.

And when the attitude of other art academies also came out, he had nothing to say.

But from another point of view, this also completely let go of their hands and feet, and after putting forward the idea of "system construction", if Lin Haven does not use the forbidden spell of black materials, the public opinion they were worried about before is no longer a problem.

A violent storm of public opinion has begun!

The Chinese oil painting community, as well as the entire art world, art critics, public intellectuals, etc., all groups have begun to trigger the most powerful debate in the field of oil painting since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

What is particularly different is that in the era of social media, a large number of laymen and onlookers also participated, making the whole debate even more indistinguishable and confused.

"It's really unexpected!" Li Zhenteng and Chang Shuo sat and looked at each other, feeling a lot of emotion, from a conflict in Wanshiju to today's contention of a hundred schools, such an evolution was something he did not expect anyway: "Haiwen's influence is really not to be underestimated, this impulse to debate has been brewing for a long time, but no one has been able to ignite it until this time." Regardless of the outcome, it will go down in history. ”

Chang Shuo also shook his head: "Let's look at it again." ”

"I'm going to write an article too," Li Zhenteng rubbed his temples: "I have a headache, what about you?

"I recently thought about it with Cheng Yifei, Yu Tao, and Wu Yunya, and wrote a few articles together. ”

"Wow!"

Li Zhenteng was taken aback.

Except for Chang Shuo, Cheng Yifei, Yu Tao, and Wu Yunya, who have teaching positions in China and therefore spend part of the year in China, the other three are all famous Chinese oil painters who have settled in Europe and the United States! They are the only Chinese oil painters who can be named in the West, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they represent Chinese oil painting in the international community -- they are not Chinese oil paintings.

"You're a little bigger, isn't your pen a little bigger?"

"Hehe," Chang Shuo disagreed, a few of them rarely spoke about the development of domestic oil painting, after all, how to say, compared to domestic painters, these people living overseas, in fact, are not as heavyweight as outsiders seem - to a certain extent, they are actually betraying Chinese oil painting, if it is not for the fact that in recent years, serious art is relatively more open, they say it is not a good thing.

In the days before the exhibition began, Lin Haven basically stayed in Tianmei, on the one hand, to open a small stove for his "Van Eyck Group" - he spent three days guiding Penelope, which shocked the attention of Paris Gaomei. So although he can't use that kind of intensity to spice Tang Cheng, Rui Mingyue, and Lou Jun, but with the heart of the oil painter in full swing, their progress is also jaw-dropping-being to be able to enter the Van Eyck group is itself the essence of Tianmei's this year.

Outside the studio, Li Zhenteng asked the people from the press office to send him remarks from all sides twice a day.

For example, Fu Yuan, Lao Liu, and Jiang Hesheng, who are in their positions, will not come out to speak, and the main speakers are concentrated in the category of Dong Wenchang and Geng Qi -- some fame, but not so much that they will be suppressed at the level.

“…… China's art cultivation system is a system that has been gradually formed through continuous exploration and exploration for several generations, which is in line with China's national conditions and the characteristics of China's art development. It is not simply to say what the trend of foreign countries is, and we have to dance with it, this attitude is not right. Of course, it does not mean that we do not need to learn from some foreign advantages, but we must build on the basis of being suitable for our country, and we cannot blindly follow and change blindly. - Dong Wenchang in Art Monthly.

The first cannon was fired by Dong Wenchang, the "Art Monthly" in April, which is a subordinate of the Cultural Newspaper Group, and his choice of this journal can be said to be a bit of a challenge.

The "theory of national conditions" is a double-edged sword, but on the whole it is very convincing, and the Chinese people always believe that they are special, and moreover, the Chinese civilization does have special features, which is why the national conditions say that there is a market -- as soon as his article came out, it was as if a typhoon in the Pacific Ocean had finally formed.

Whirring and turning, brewing strong strength and rushing pressure.

Quickly, adding energy to this typhoon, making it turn faster and faster, more and more ferocious, one after another.

On April 1, Leng Heping spoke out in an academic journal on his own territory in solidarity with Dong Wenchang:

“…… Some people say that our training system is evolved from Chinese painting, but in fact it is not suitable for the art of oil painting, which is a very ridiculous argument, does it mean that Chinese painting does not need innovation? Chinese painting does not need imagination? Chen Shouchun's "Fishing in the Cold River" has been famous for thousands of years, isn't it because of his ingenuity in the wonderful replacement of rivers and snow that the good story of fishing in the snow in early spring was born?

Also on April 1, Ji Zhongde of Xijing Academy of Fine Arts chose the art publication "Contemporary Art" of the Haicheng school:

"A culture system must be rooted in cultural reality, and the reason why Chinese people are so unique is because our culture is unique. And over the past few decades, this system has also been effective, cultivating many highly respected predecessors, including Lin Haiwen, who is also trained in the CAFA system, the master-apprentice system, and it cannot be said that he is more talented, so he denies the system that cultivated him. ”

On the 2nd, Geng Qi was interviewed by South China Network, and he had almost no scruples, using the theory of smashing the pot:

“…… Eating the food of this system, and smashing the pot of this system! This kind of behavior is extremely bad!"

In addition to them, a few days before the start of the No. 8 exhibition, there was also Qingmei Tu Gang said, "The training system needs to be further improved, but it doesn't mean that it needs to be operated on, I don't think it is necessarily, and now some people think that when it comes to reform, it will be completely overthrown, which is not a scientific attitude, and it also looks down on the efforts of our previous generations too lightly, absolutely the whole of China for several generations, and there are no people who are wise to come alone, which is very ridiculous and very arrogant." ”

Tian Ran, a well-known contemporary art collector, also believes that "in the past 100 years, Huaguo oil painting has derived a set of aesthetic language of its own, and under this premise, it is necessary to be cautious to abandon a cultivation system derived from it." ”

“……”

Step by step, aggressive!

At this time, the public opinion position in the art circle was almost open to their categorical remarks.

This typhoon, roaring, swept through the entire field of public opinion, caught everyone off guard, and Li Zhenteng, Jiang Tao and others, who supported Lin Haiwen, were almost drowned. In the face of this monstrous and crazy typhoon, Lin Haven was almost unable to parry, and he was defeated and retreated, and even had no way to retreat - almost one-sided.

It wasn't until Chang Shuo and the other four Chinese painters posted that the pattern eased slightly, making everyone take a long breath for Lin Haven.

See you for a long time, Lin Haven still has today.
