中國(guó)繪畫(huà)（英）

　　“中華之美”叢書(shū)圍繞中華優(yōu)秀傳統(tǒng)文化這一主題，擇取其中15個(gè)專題分別加以介紹。這15個(gè)專題，包括以思想、智慧、藝術(shù)為主的“無(wú)形遺產(chǎn)”，以工藝、器物為主的“有形遺產(chǎn)”，以衣食住行樂(lè)為主的“民俗生活”，它們精心構(gòu)架，有機(jī)結(jié)合，勾勒出中國(guó)文化的一個(gè)總體面貌，并反映出“中華文化的理念、智慧、氣度、神韻”。 中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)畫(huà)是中國(guó)五千年?duì)N爛文明的重要內(nèi)容，這種以毛筆、墨、絹紙為主要工具、以點(diǎn)線結(jié)構(gòu)為主要表現(xiàn)手段的造型藝術(shù)有著深厚的傳統(tǒng)和極其獨(dú)特的民族風(fēng)格。而20世紀(jì)的中國(guó)繪畫(huà)則體現(xiàn)了中國(guó)藝術(shù)從傳統(tǒng)走向現(xiàn)代的發(fā)展進(jìn)程，反映了對(duì)西方藝術(shù)的引進(jìn)、吸收和中西藝術(shù)的碰撞、融合等多種復(fù)雜形態(tài)。隨著中國(guó)繪畫(huà)作品在重大國(guó)際藝術(shù)品拍賣(mài)會(huì)上身價(jià)迅速攀升，越來(lái)越多的外國(guó)人對(duì)中國(guó)繪畫(huà)藝術(shù)產(chǎn)生了濃厚的興趣。本書(shū)一改過(guò)去作品鑒賞的寫(xiě)法，突出繪畫(huà)藝術(shù)與中國(guó)文化的密切關(guān)系，講述繪畫(huà)語(yǔ)言、畫(huà)家、畫(huà)風(fēng)背后的文化故事。 Traditional Chinese painting was fundamentally an abstract art form. Although there were no absolute abstract Chinese paintings in its original meaning， objects in a painting were not a direct copy of the nature world following the principle of perspective. It was rather a combination or harmony between the nature world and human emotion， a product of “heaven （nature） and human”. The effect Chinese painters would like to illustrate in their paintings was not a visual effect of colors and patterns as their Western counterparts would like to achieve. The description of objects in their paintings was no means accurate and few concerned about such factors as colors， principle of perspective， anatomy， surface feel， and relative size. What they would like to achieve was a world in their mind of non materials. The nature world was not an object for them to make a true copy and it was rather elements for them to build their own world.
