在荒烟逝世二周年之际,他的木刻选集几经坎坷终于出版了。这自然是一件大好事,但是一个辛勤劳作一辈子的画家,生前未能见到自己的集子出版,终归还是一个遗憾！ 大概因为我是荒烟多年的同事,出版社和荒烟的家属一致让我当这本画册的责任编辑和设计。将近20年在一起工作,我以为对荒烟是比较了解的。但当看到他的全部画作,特别是第一次看到他解放前的许多作品,我不由得一阵震惊！重又升起一股敬仰之情,感到编好这本画册是义不容辞的责任。 In the second anniversary of the passing of the wilderness, his collection of woodcuts finally published after several ups and downs. This is naturally a good thing, but an artist who has worked hard for a lifetime will not be able to see his own works published until his death. After all, it is a pity! Probably because I was a wasteless colleague for many years, publishing houses and non-smoking families unanimously let me be the editor and designer of this book’s responsibility. For nearly two decades working together, I thought I knew better about the shortage of tobacco. But when I saw all his paintings, especially the first time I saw many works before his liberation, I can not help but be shocked! Once again raised a feeling of admiration, feel good editing this book is an unshirkable responsibility.
