在欧洲举办的中国艺术展中,中国当代艺术展的数量明显增多,已超过中国古代艺术展。这说明,在当今的世界,中国当代文化和艺术正以其所蕴含着的当代中国的巨大能量,在国际文化交往中发挥着重要的作用。美国学者乔舒亚·库珀·雷默在《淡色中国》中,描述了中国的现实国情与国家形象的差别,他指出『国家形象对于当代中国来说是最为根本的问题。 In the Chinese art exhibition held in Europe, the number of contemporary art exhibitions in China increased significantly, surpassing that of ancient Chinese art exhibitions. This shows that in today’s world, contemporary Chinese culture and art are playing an important role in international cultural exchanges with the tremendous energy of contemporary China they contain. In “Light Color China,” American scholar Joshua Cooper-Raymer described the difference between China’s reality and its national image. He pointed out that “the image of a country is the most fundamental issue for contemporary China.”
