水彩画是一门古老的国际性画种，在欧洲已经有相当长的历史，它具有清晰明快、绚丽高雅的艺术特色。早在德国文艺复兴时期已出现水彩画，丢勒被公认为第一个用水彩作画的画家，在十八、十九世纪的英国，水彩画日臻成熟享誉世界。水彩画自从20世纪初传入我国，迄今已有百年历史。近日记者采访了浙江省美术家协会副主席兼秘书长、著名水彩画家骆献跃先生，欣赏到了一批清新灵秀，充满江南水乡情韵的水彩画创作作品，并了解了中国当代水彩画创作的整体脉络和浙江水彩画创作的面貌。
记者：您能介绍一下当代中国水彩画创作的背景和现状吗？
骆：中国水彩画经过近百年的曲折发展，经过几代画家的不懈努力，已逐渐形成独具特色的美术门类，呈现其明丽、轻快的创作风格。尤其是近年来，水彩画在我国发展十分兴旺，势态可嘉，是艺术创作与学术活力最强的画种之一。全国目前从事水彩画创作的画家数量可观，各地区的艺术、学术团体不断涌现，作品的地域面貌强烈，民族特色鲜明，艺术风格和表现手法丰富多样。
记者：浙江是水彩画创作强省，您认为当前我省水彩画艺术创作队伍的发展态势怎样？
骆：浙江地区的水彩画家，无不浸淫着中国源远流长的文化传统，如此浓重的中国文化底蕴，使得他们的水彩画作品洋溢着一种特殊的中国文化情怀。“外师造化，中得心源”的中国式艺术思考方式，形成了独特的浙江水彩画。今天，年轻一代的浙江水彩画家同样秉承这一传统，重人格，崇修养，尚意境，使自己的水彩艺术深深地植根于浙江秀美的大地上。
浙江秀美的山川和丰富的人文景观，使得这块土地渗透了别样的诗情画意，浙江水彩画家深得其中情韵，使得他们的水彩画充溢着浓浓的诗意。在吸取了中国传统水墨的精神之后，浙江水彩画成长历程是一个典型的异域文化发展为新的本土文化的过程。早期的水彩画家有林风眠、吴冠中、潘思同等，他们是这一时代对后世产生深远影响的大家。上世纪70年代以后，何志生、吴德隆、潘长臻、周诗成、高而颐、黄裳、王维新等成为中国水彩画的重要画家，引领着中国水彩画在当代的发展。我们可以从他们身上解读到中国传统文化在他们创作中的延续。这个时期，浙江水彩画的艺术氛围是非常宽松的，尊重多样性、保护彼此不同的艺术见解，营造了“兼容并蓄”的水彩画创作的良好环境，也使得浙江水彩画保持着可贵的多样化艺术与百花齐放气氛。
到了上世纪90年代以后，周刚、蒋跃、周崇涨、安宾、刘正、林绍灵、杨斌、郑士龙、蔡瑞蓉、徐明慧、陈立勋等浙江新一代中青年水彩画家以传承与创新的姿态，逐渐成为中国当代水彩画的优秀代表，也为浙江水彩画创作奠定了厚实的团队基础。
记者：怎样来欣赏中国当代水彩画？投资中国当代水彩画作品要注意哪些方面？
骆：欣赏水彩画的美，主要从水彩画的表现意趣、意境、内涵和色彩的传情及特殊的水味等入手，水彩画透明、轻快、水色淋漓等各种神奇的艺术效果，不知迷倒了多少美术家和爱好者。作为艺术创作活动的另一种形式，水彩画是表达艺术情感语言的一种载体。与油画的浓厚不同，水彩画作品清新怡神，浓淡相宜，颜色透明轻快，水渗彩融，使观众如同感受凉爽的拂面清风。那画面中流动的光波，以及随机变化的笔触，其意境是其他画作难以类比的。
水彩画艺术价值高，但其收藏价格并不高。现在除了老一辈水彩艺术家外，一些中青年的水彩画家也是佳作不断涌现，他们的画作具有相当水准，且价位较低。所以，水彩画还具有充分的投资、收藏空间，前景看好。
浙江大地，有着中国水彩画创作得天独厚的条件。中国当代水彩画正在如朝阳般崛起，相信浙江水彩画家能描绘出更多清新感人的时代新画卷。
Watercolor Art of Zhejiang
By A Tong
The other day I chatted with Mr. Luo Xianyue, a prominent watercolor artist, executive director and secretary-general of Zhejiang Artists Association, before viewing a series of eye-opening watercolor paintings. We chatted about how, over the last 100 years, watercolor painting has adapted itself to the beauty of Zhejiang, a coastal province in eastern China. We chatted about how the imported art now fares in China. The following is a summary of the conversation.
Watercolor as a modern genre of art started in the early 16th century as Albrecht Durer is generally regarded as the first watercolor artist in a modern sense. The painting method became popular in England in the 18th and 19th century. It came to China in the early 20th century. Watercolor in China has become a distinct art genre thanks the joint endeavors of the Chinese artists of the past and present generations over the past 100 years. Now watercolor in China features a bright and light style and the art genre is flourishing. In fact, it is one of the most flourishing art genres in China in terms of creativity and academic activities. China has now a large galaxy of watercolor artists, organized into various art and academic groups across the country. Chinese watercolors feature regional and ethnic distinctions, diverse styles, and sophisticated and expressive techniques. Zhejiang is a powerhouse of watercolor thanks to a strong team of young and mid-age watercolor artists. The watercolor artists of Zhejiang stand out highlighting a strong regional cultural tradition. Their watercolor paintings display a special cultural dimension as Zhejiang is famed for gorgeous natural beauty and a wealth of culture and history, giving a special poetic touch to the land.
The history of watercolor in Zhejiang is a process of localization. The earliest masters are Lin Fengmian, Wu Guanzhong and Pan Sitong, which exerted a strong influence upon following generations. A new generation of watercolor artists emerged after the 1970s. They pioneered a new path for the genre. Their inspirations helped us understand how traditional Chinese culture plays an influential part in their works. The 1980s witnessed a liberalizing trend for the growth of various styles and various understandings. In the 1990s, a new group of artists emerged. With their works displaying both tradition and innovation, these artists are considered the best.
Watercolor paintings are highly artistic and valuable. However, they are somewhat irrationally ignored by collectors. At present, watercolor artists of the old generation are still highly active whereas younger artists keep producing very good watercolors. The artworks by younger artists are very good and relatively cheap. Their works should be highly valued for investment and collection.
