当今是改革开放的时代,是生长草书的年代,是成就草书大师的年代,然而草书创作多年来一直显得平静甚至有些沉闷,这就说明发展草书需要更新观念,解放思想。草书创作是个大题目,有关论述十分丰富,但古往今来理论与实践相脱节的问题一直不能得到很好的解决,许多玄妙的理论由于不具备实际操作性,从而昙花一现,或逐渐淡出人们的视野。当代书家胡抗美一直致力于草书的创作与研究,成就显著。本刊记者郑培壳受《中国书法》编辑部的委托,于二○○五年五月拜访胡抗美先生,并就草书的创作与研究进行了连续的访谈。胡抗美先生在继承传统的同时,以发展的眼光,结合自己数十年来的创作体会,对当前的草书创作提出了一系列的个人看法,鞭辟入里,深入浅出,富有真知灼见,颇具启示价值。现将访谈内容整理发表,以飨读者。 Nowadays are the times of reform and opening up, the era of cursive growth and the era of masters of cursive writing.
