说起主题历史画创作,感觉已经是很遥远的事了。好像从“文革”以后,已经有很长时间没有搞过命题绘画了。这几年我们自由惯了,只画一些自己喜欢的东西,画一些追求自己风格的东西,突然间又提出这样的课题,当时的第一感觉是一定要参加,但是回想从前那种拼命劲,又有些担心现在年龄大了会吃不消,像我们这个年龄段还能画大画,特别是中国画,是需要一定得精力和过程的,要总体来考虑。 Speaking of the history of thematic paintings, feeling is very far away. Like from the “Cultural Revolution”, it has been a long time did not engage in proposition painting. In the past few years, we are used to freedom. We only draw some things we like and draw some things in pursuit of our own style. Suddenly, we put forward such a topic. The first feeling at that time was that we must attend. However, Some worry that nowadays older people will be overwhelmed with energy consumption. As we can still draw large-scale paintings in this age group, especially Chinese paintings, we need certain energy and process.
