第十一届全国美展的中国画作品在上海展出,应该有特殊的意义。上海是一座国际化的现代都市,更注重的是走向世界、接轨国际;中国画是一个古老的传统画种,更注重的是民族的精神、文脉的延续。在这样一座城市举办中国画的展事,它表明无论怎样强调变易的现代文化,都离不开悠久传统的根基; The Chinese painting of the 11th National Art Exhibition to be exhibited in Shanghai should have special significance. Shanghai is an international modern city, paying more attention to going to the world and connecting to the world. Chinese painting is an ancient traditional painting, paying more attention to the continuation of the national spirit and context. The exhibition of Chinese paintings in such a city shows that no matter how emphasizing the modern culture of change, it is inseparable from the foundation of a long tradition.
