我们中国人学习油画，是在毫无传统可言的基点上从材料到画法的全盘吸收。为什么它在中国发展了近一个世纪，还被外人或自己人认为是“上油画”呢？若把我们美术馆的油画作品与欧洲博物馆及来华展览的油画作品做一对照，就会发现中国油画的基本语言层次不高，没有欧洲油画的那 We, the Chinese, study oil painting, which is a complete absorption of material from the painting method with no tradition at all. Why it has developed in China for nearly a century, but also by outsiders or one’s own people that is “painting” it? If we compare the oil paintings of our gallery with the paintings of European Museums and the exhibitions in China, we will find that the basic language of Chinese painting is not that high, that there is no European painting
