Preface
Collection of Oil Paintings of Contemporary Chinese Students
People may think that oil painting in China has merely a hundred-year history. In fact, the first oil painting was introduced to China in 1579 when Western missionaries came to spread Christianity. They not only brought the paintings of the Christ but also sowed the seeds of oil painting in China.
Over four hundred years, Chinese oil painting has gone through shocks and conflicts between the native culture and foreign trends of thoughts and stood up to the social transformation and historical changes. Comparing to the past, contemporary Chinese oil painting has been localized and become a
prominent part in the oil painting circles around the world.
It is really hard trying to know the yesterday, today and future development of the arts of a certain nation in a short period of time. However, an exhibition of paintings by graduates from the academies of fine arts may provide us an easy and unique access to that result. Creations of these
graduates reflect the tradition as well as the future development of the arts in their country. As the works of art graduates display the quality of the art education of their country, they also, to some extent, prove the country’s accomplishments and consolidate its position in the global
realm of arts. For an individual artist, his graduation works are not only the first height of his creativity but also an explosive expression of his personal talent. More often than not, those works become his masterpieces and even help build his reputation in his career, therefore attract the
attention of both critics and collectors.
The Collection of Oil Paintings of Contemporary Chinese Students” is organized just for this purpose. It consists of 60 excellent pieces of talented graduates from the prestigious academies of fine arts in China created over the past two years. Some of those outstanding young artists are most
likely to become the future leaders of the art world in China. In this regard, this exhibition provides a glimpse of the prospects and future development of oil painting in China.
