計畫名稱:北京徐悲鴻紀念館藏品與相關作品調查

Project Title : The Survey Report of Collections in Memorial Hall of Xubeihong, Beijing

中文摘要 Abstract

 

徐悲鴻(1895-1953)為中國近代重要藝術家、美術教育家及收藏家,一生作品數量龐大,代表作品藏於北京徐悲鴻紀念館。1918年徐悲鴻發表著名〈中國畫改良之方法〉,1919年前往法國,後考入巴黎國立高等美術學院(école nationale supérieure des Beaux-arts de Paris)學習西方美術傳統,以人物素描/油畫見長。

 

Xu Beihong (徐悲鴻,1895-1953) was a worldwide famous painter,collector and artist in Modern China. In his liftetime he created many works, and still to today those precious artworks mainly maintain in Memorial Hall of Xubeihong,Beijing. Xu published a well-known book Chinese Painting Reformation in 1918, then learned Western art technique at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris, especially oil painting and drawing.

After Xu returned from France in 1927, he concentrated upon three items,as fellows,

1. Improving Chinese painting, especially portraits.

2. Stressing on the Realism and Drawing

3. Developing paintings of Epic Chinese themes

 

一、中國畫的改良,尤其是人物畫作;

二、強調素描/寫實主義(Realism)的重要性;

三、發展經史繪畫。

 Painting Epic Chinese theme was the milestone of Xu in professional career. He also embodied his revolution theory of painting by this. My thesis discusses Mountain Ghost ( or Maintain Spirit, Shan-Gue), which is one of his later important works, so my latest project wants to make a survey of his portrait paintings and documents both.

The works in Memorial Hall of Xubeihong located in Beijing are donated by his wife, Liao Jing Wen (1923-2015), after his departure from this world in 1953. For scholars, this place is a must-see one. Meanwhiles, I am also going to his birthplace Yi-Xing to collect information, where the other Memorial Hall of Xubeihong has been since 1988.

 

經史繪畫是奠定徐悲鴻藝術地位的重要系列,也是〈中國畫改良之方法〉的實踐對象,本人碩士論文研究的《山鬼》正是其晚期經史繪畫作品。是以此次計畫主要目的,在對徐悲鴻人物畫作進行調查與文獻資料收集。北京徐悲鴻紀念館為徐氏於1953年身故之後,由妻子廖靜文(1923-2015)捐獻其收藏與作品後所設,富有研究指標性,是為重要考察之處。此外,由於徐氏早期人物作品也具有重大意義,本人亦將赴宜興徐悲鴻紀念館進行調查

 

Xu had plenty of publications and paintings, full of controversies for a long time. Some people have good comments; vice versa. However, any art resercher must look back to discover the meaning of work itself. It can help researchers recognize what Xu had done in his era, something hidden in those works. I hope this travel in China can help me understand how Xu detailedly dealt with the protagonist in his works.  Since Xu passed away, it has been over 60 years. Re-discovering the meaning of his portrait paintings is worth and important for the history of Chinese modern art.

 

徐悲鴻作品與著述甚豐,且歷來始終充滿爭議。各家學者從各種觀點、主張出發,對於徐氏的人物畫作褒貶尤其不一。然而,對於藝術史研究者而言,真正重要的還是要回歸到作品本身;從作品出發,才能更能確定藝術作品、藝術家在時代脈絡中的意義。期望藉由此次跨海親炙並調查徐悲鴻《山鬼》及其相關人物畫作品,深入理解徐氏處理「人物」的手法與問題,在徐氏逝世初逾一甲子的今日,重評徐悲鴻人物畫作在中國近代藝術史脈絡中的價值與意義。
