常玉(Sanyu),1921年远去巴黎求学,一生漂泊在外,客死异乡。常玉不像刘海粟、徐悲鸿等那样惹人注目,但是他对中国现代绘画所作出的贡献也是不容小觑的。常玉的的一生是传奇的一生,他不媚世俗,不为金钱诱惑,不随波逐流,坚持自我,用纯粹的心与世界对话,用特有的方式表达对艺术的感悟。常玉的被遗忘,有着各种原因,与他不谙世事的性格有关,也与当时的社会相关。 Sanyu (Sanyu), go to Paris in 1921 to pursue his studies, his life wandering outside, live on a strange land. Chang Yu is not as dramatic as Liu Haisu and Xu Beihong, but his contribution to modern Chinese painting should not be underestimated. Sanyu’s life is a legendary life. He does not flirt with the secular world, does not seduce money, does not follow the crowd, persists in his own self, talks purely in the heart with the world, and uniquely expresses his sentiments about the arts. Sanyu’s forgotten, for a variety of reasons, is related to his incompetent personality and to the society at the time.
