: “Four Stanzas on Aspiration: Traces of Li Hu’s Art” Exhibition Tour Opens in Hebei

2019-06-18

The exhibition tour of “Four Stanzas on Aspiration: Traces of Li Hu’s Art”, hosted by Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) and Shijiazhuang Art Museum, opened in Hebei Province on June 14 as scheduled after months of careful preparation. Mr. Li Hu was an artist as well as an art educator who had made great contributions to the innovation of Chinese painting after Xu Beihong and Jiang Zhaohe. He “uses Western painting skills to sketch with Chinese ink on rice paper” in an earlier time. On the one hand, he followed Xu Beihong and advocated his artistic concept of integration of Chinese and Western paintings; on the other hand, he took the plunge to seek innovation and practiced the modern transformation from the tradition, being a practitioner and pioneer in the process of exploring new ways and forms of Chinese painting.Wang Chunchen, Deputy Director of CAFA Art Museum; Han Feng, Vice Chairman of Hebei Art Association; Jin Rui, Professor of Chinese Painting College of CAFA; Wang Fuming, Director of the School of Design of Hebei Normal University; Cao Qinghui, Professor of CAFA and curator of this exhibition; Li Yaochen, Director of the Department of Collections at the CAFA Art Museum; Nie Shufa, Director of School of Art of Hebei University of Economics and Business; Mr. Li Hu’s children (Li Fan, Li Rong, Li Yun), and other guests attended the opening ceremony. Wang Chunchen, Deputy Director of CAFA Art Museum, was delivering a speechWang Chunchen, Deputy Director of CAFA Art Museum, talked about in his speech the deep friendship between CAFA Art Museum and Shijiazhuang Art Museum, and mentioned that Li Hu was a practitioner, pioneer and educator of Chinese figure painting creation and innovation in the history of Chinese modern art. Due to his untimely death, he was ignored by the public, yet through sorting out and presenting Li Hu’s artworks, the public can have some understanding of his achievements. At the same time, the research and discussion on Li Hu also enable us to re-recognize or re-think Chinese painting today, particularly the creation process of figure painting. Drawing nutrition from the tradition and taking an original road should be the only way and also the inevitable trend for the development of Chinese painting.Zhao Zhitian, member of China Artists Association and national first-class artist of Beijing Fine Art Academy, was giving a speech Han Feng, Vice Chairman of Hebei Art Association, was giving a speechFu Yixin, Professor of Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts, Professor of the Institute of Literature and Art at the Minzu University of China, member of China Artists Association and Chinese Calligraphers Association, was giving a speech Li Fan was giving a speech on behalf of Li Hu’s familyBai Liansheng, Representative of Hebei alumni of CAFA, was giving a speechCao Fengxiang, Deputy Director of Shijiazhuang Art Museum, served as the hostLi Hu was born in Sichuan on September 20, 1919, and died in Beijing on November 10, 1975, at the age of 56. During his fifty-six years alive, he not only had lived through bitter years when the Chinese nation was struggling to save the nation at the most dangerous time but also the passionate years when the Chinese people made great efforts to build an independent socialist country at a price under the leadership of the Communist Party. The fifty-six years of his life were exactly overlapping the half a century of Chinese society in the turbulent currents of the 20th century, with which his life path and artistic career rose and fell, leaving behind thousands of paintings for later generations. This exhibition presents more than 100 works and literature to comprehensively show Mr. Li Hu’s life and artistic aspiration, which will have profound practical significant for us to study and carry forward Mr. Li Hu’s artistic spirit of advocating both virtue and skills, and also bring new enlightenment for us to think about the teaching and reform of Chinese painting.The exhibition runs until July 3.Translated from the Chinese text edited by Wu Jing Photos by Li BiaoExhibition site| Exhibition Photos || Exhibition Information |Dates: June 14 – July 3, 2019Venue: Gallery 1 & 2 & 3, Shijiazhuang Art Museum
