去年底中国美术评论家代表团访日,两国的评论家进行了学术交流。言犹未尽,代表团回国后,他们书信往还,继续探讨共同关心的学术问题。这里发表的是日本国美术评论家连盟副会长、武藏野美术大学教授桑原住雄先生5月7日写给夏硕琦的信(其中的答问部分)。有助于我们了解日本美术评论家的观点和现代日本画的发展趋向。 Chinese art critic delegation went to Japan at the end of last year, and commentators from both countries conducted academic exchanges. After all, when the delegation returned to China, they wrote letters and continued to discuss academic issues of common interest. Here is a letter to Xia Shuoqi (one of the questions and answers), which was delivered on May 7 by Mr. Sumiko Moroto, a vice president of Japan Art Critics Union and a professor at Musashino Art University. It helps us understand the views of Japanese art critics and the development trend of modern Japanese painting.
