慶中法建交50周年《8+1中法藝術家油畫展》在重慶開展

4月1日，《8+1中法藝術家油畫展》在解放碑重慶美術館開幕，8位重慶籍中國藝術家和1位法國藝術家的近百幅油畫作品同臺亮相。參加法國藝術家的作品曾在巴黎和畢加索的畫作一起展出，為重慶人民帶來了一場藝術的饕餮盛宴。

據(jù)策展人魏東介紹，此次參展的有陳鏡偉、馮均雄、何國平、邵常毅、唐亮、楊立、翟渝生、鄭可等8位重慶藝術家的油畫作品，還有80歲高齡的法國藝術家克蘿德·勒蘇女士的油畫。參展藝術家鄭可是勒蘇女士的中國朋友，他說，對許多觀眾來講，勒蘇或許顯得陌生，但是其作品值得一看，上個世紀60年代，勒蘇的作品就曾在巴黎和畢加索的作品同臺展出。鄭可說，他曾在與勒蘇女士交流時多次談到自己的故鄉(xiāng)重慶，“說到了重慶的山水、火鍋、鄉(xiāng)村以及四川美院，重慶也有許多熱愛藝術的年輕人。當時勒蘇就表示，希望自己的作品能夠來重慶展覽。由于年事已高且身患疾病，勒蘇的行動已經(jīng)很困難，但她仍然堅持不懈地創(chuàng)作和參與各種藝術活動，并多次表態(tài)希望與中國藝術家一起舉辦畫展，于是商定了這次展覽。雖然勒蘇女士今天不能親自到場，但她的11件油畫作品還是如約與重慶觀眾見面。

今年是中法建交五十周年，而早在一百余年前，中法兩國就已建立起了包括美術在內(nèi)的文化藝術領域的交流。近現(xiàn)代中國赴法學習美術并取得卓越成就的人士也不在少數(shù)，如徐悲鴻、劉海粟、林風眠、劉開渠、吳作人、吳冠中、趙無極、朱德群等。

《8+1中法藝術家油畫展》于4月1日至9日在重慶美術館首展，5月初移師上海展出。7月初，所有參展藝術家將赴法國，與勒蘇女士進行面對面的藝術交流，并將在巴黎馬蒂斯美術館舉辦同題展覽。
