20世纪初,众多抱着振兴中国画理想的留学生漂洋过海,到欧洲学习西方艺术,中国传统文化经受了西方文化的猛烈冲击。然而,随着中国经济日益强盛,中国人对本土文化自信的日益恢复,中国文化的强大再次显现。在这样的过程中,作为西方美术最重要的艺术种类的油画,在中国的传播经历了从简单的拿来主义到逐步民族化本土化的过程,已经日益显现出越来越强的民族特点,这些特点既与西方现代油画交相辉映、相互促进,又不断丰富和发展着自身的绘画语言。 At the beginning of the 20th century, many foreign students holding the ideal of revitalizing Chinese painting traveled across the sea to study Western art in Europe. The traditional Chinese culture has withstood the violent impact of Western culture. However, as China’s economy is becoming increasingly prosperous, the Chinese people are increasingly resuming their confidence in their own culture and the strength of Chinese culture appears again. In this process, as the most important art genre in Western art, the spread of oil painting in China has gone through a process from simple use of doctrine to the gradual nationalization of localization. It has increasingly shown a growing national identity. These characteristics not only complement each other with modern western oil paintings, promote each other, and constantly enrich and develop their own language of painting.
