张二京

2017年2月10日，由浙江省委宣传部、省文联主办的“百年追梦——浙江美术创作精品工程”展在浙江展览馆落幕。展出的30件巨幅作品，聚焦1840年到1949年间浙江近现代历史人物和重大事件，以美术形式回顾历史，描绘人文画卷，塑造英雄群像，是一次恢弘壮观的史诗般美术大展。

在波澜壮阔、跌宕起伏的奋斗历程中，浙江大地涌现了一大批勇立潮头的英雄人物，发生了无数可歌可泣的历史事件。“百年追梦”浙江美术创作精品工程历时三年，以中国画、油画、版画、雕塑为主要艺术形式，表现手法丰富，各具艺术特色，尤其在历史叙事方法上取得显著突破。

展出的作品都是引人赞叹的精品力作：版畫《浩气长歌》以鲜明的构图表现新民主主义革命时期牺牲的9位浙江省委书记的光辉形象；油画《浙江解放》展示了1949年8月浙江省人民政府成立的历史画面；油画《火种》反映了中国工农红军第十三军浴血奋战，为中国革命作出的不可磨灭的贡献；国画《西泠印社》表现了吴昌硕等几任社长的风范，再现金石篆刻之“天下第一名社”人文历史。

特别值得称道的是雕塑《辛亥群英》以雕塑艺术的表现语言刻画了浙江籍辛亥革命领袖群体的坚强形象。国画《国药之脉》把胡庆余堂中以胡雪岩为首的一组人物群像勾勒得细腻生动，体现出胡庆余堂沉淀的“真不二价”、以诚待人的商业文化精华。油画《湖山涵育》是那些名声显赫的浙江近代国学大师组画，画面栩栩如生，人物神采逼真，吸引了众多观众观赏和频频赞许。

大展之“大”，不仅仅表现为展出的作品体量、尺幅巨大，更体现了为历史造像立碑的艺术工程之大，具有很高的文化价值和历史意义。

“决定创作成功的艺术元素有很多，包括对大时代中人与事件的正确理解、对选题的深刻把握、具体创作要素的选取、艺术表现和创作手段的呈现等。”中国文联副主席、浙江省文联主席、中国美院院长许江表示，这30幅画是浙江美术界共同完成的浙江的人文历史书卷。它不仅是浙江的重要文化财富，而且是进行爱国主义教育的重要教材。

“百年追梦”浙江美术创作精品工程创作任务很重，但是艺术家们充满信心，奋办完成。美术界认为，浙江美术创作精品工程在史实浓缩表现、历史情景再现、艺术运用语言和思想境界开拓上，完全达到预期目标，并创出了新的水平。浙江艺术家深入历史，还原历史，并以现实主义精神和浪漫主义情怀观照历史、表现历史。许多作品都是数易其稿，最终才达到较为理想的艺术效果。

展览凝聚了浙江优秀美术家辛勤耕耘的心血。艺术家们走进历史深处，走进生活深处，既展开形象思维翅膀，又脚踩坚实的大地，创作出一幅幅巨作。在创作《钢铁洪流——红军挺进师》草图期间，艺术家常青来到遂昌王村口粟裕、刘英战斗过的地方，实地体验当年的氛围，终于找到创作灵感；为创作《明灯——1939年中国共产党浙江省第一次代表大会》，艺术家陆琦多次到平阳的会议旧址考察采风，到温州和平阳的档案馆收集分析史料；《浩气长歌——新民主主义革命时期牺牲的9位浙江省委书记》这件作品，时间跨度很大，每位省委书记都不在同一个时间点，创作难度很大。画家佟飚画了许多草图，尝试了各种创作手法后，才比较满意地体现出9位省委书记大义凛然、视死如归的英雄气概。

艺术家们对历史问题的艺术化表达，用画笔把历史事件描绘成感动人、教育人的多彩画卷，把历史人物升华为鼓舞人、引导人的鲜活形象，用自己的心追逐百年中国梦。
