到了杭州西湖,不能不去拜访一些人。这些人,当然包括林风眠大师。1928年,28岁的林风眠受聘于蔡元培先生,出任国立杭州艺专(现中国美术学院)首任院长。正当击水中流、意气风发的年纪,他全副身心都交给了中国现代美术教育的奠基工程,高擎“兼容并包,学术自由”之大纛。1934年,在西湖北岸、离艺专不远的马岭山麓,林风眠亲自设计了一所欧式风格宅院,聚师生,谈美论艺,其乐融融。直至卢沟桥的炮声惊醒了他“为艺术而艺术”的梦,随着全校师生,滚入国破家亡的洪流。 To Hangzhou West Lake, can not but to visit some people. These people, of course, include Master Lin Fengmian. In 1928, Lin Fengmian, 28, was employed by Mr. Cai Yuanpei as the first dean of the National Hangzhou Arts College (now the China Academy of Art). While being hit hard and spirited, he devoted his entire body and mind to the founding project of modern art education in China, and spared no efforts in “accommodating and integrating academic freedom.” In 1934, on the north shore of the West Lake, at the foothills of Maling not far from the art school, Lin Fengmian personally designed a European-style house for teachers and students. Until the Marco Polo Bridge gunshots awakened him “Art for Art ” dream, with the school teachers and students, into the torrent of breaking the country.
