吴凡是新中国现实主义版画的代表性艺术家之一。新中国现实主义版画的基本倾向是以大众便于接受的方式批判旧社会、歌颂新生活,寓教于乐地发挥为政治服务的功能,其中的优秀作品之所以不会因时代变迁而失去光彩,是因为那些艺术品的作者没有放弃艺术规律和艺术责任。吴凡在20世纪五六十年代创作的一批水印木刻版画,如《蒲公英》《小站》《炊事员》《村邮》等,既在这个主潮之中,又与主潮的一般取向大异其趣,从而丰富了新中国的现实主义版画艺术。 Wu Fan is one of the representative artists in the new China realist printmaking. The basic tendency of New China’s realist printmaking is to criticize the old society in a manner acceptable to the general public, to celebrate the new life, to entertain and serve the political functions, and why outstanding works of art are not to lose their glory because of the changing times. Because the authors of those works of art did not give up the artistic rules and artistic responsibilities. A series of watermark woodblock prints produced by Wu Fan in the 1950s and 1960s, such as “Dandelion”, “Little Station”, “Chef” and “Village Mail,” are not only in this main trend but also in the general orientation of the main trend So different, thus enriching the realism of New China print art.
