——韦启美

韦启美1923年出生于安徽安庆。童年时就喜欢看上海出版的《时代漫画》,并从父亲给他买的一本木版《芥子园画谱·山水卷》学画国画。1942年至1947年,进入重庆中央大学艺术系学习,受业于徐悲鸿、黄显之、吕斯百等先生。1947年赴国立北平艺术专科学校,教授素描和油画。新中国成立后继续在中央美术学院从事教学工作,他曾先后在绘画系、油画系任教,1977年担任油画系教研组组长,1980年恢复画室制后,曾与靳尚谊先生共同主持油画系第一画室工作,1983年晋升教授。韦启美先生曾担任中央美术学院学术委员会委员、研究生班主任和导师。

韦启美先生是一位有强烈社会责任感和历史使命感的优秀艺术家,在教学实践、理论著述、油画创作与漫画创作等领域均卓有建树。他一贯坚持现实主义精神,对新事物保持高度敏感。强调艺术与时代同步和具有鲜明时代气息,是他创作上的突出特点。进入新时期,他以开阔的视野反思历史,打破僵化创作模式,明确提出“简约、诗意”的艺术追求,表现出难能可贵的探索热情和锐意进取、勇于革新的创造精神。

韦启美先生生前发表油画作品、漫画作品数百件,文章百余篇。代表油画作品有《模范饲养员》《初春》《青纱帐》《新线》《立交桥》《班机上》《大坝的构思》《附中的走廊》《提琴的故事》等,广为人知的漫画作品有《幻想变成现实》《运砖》《好奇》《打假和假打》《乘潮起航》等。

《模范饲养员》,布面油彩,114×146cm,1956年,中国美术馆藏

油画在我国习惯地视为只表现正剧。1956年我画《模范饲养员》是想画张喜剧性的油画。当时甚至产生以后创作中多搞喜剧性风俗画的念头……喜剧性必须有幽默。幽默常常来自某个“情理之中意料之外”的细节,这细节是真实的生活,却突破了事物的常规,因之才具有某种新的意义……喜剧性油画创作必然是风俗画,因而必须有生活的实感。

——韦启美

《青纱帐里游击队员逞英豪》,布面油彩,244×444cm,1977年,中国人民革命军事博物馆藏

我是40年代在重庆上大学时开始学油画的,属“土油画”出身。以后东捡西拾,犹未积累成一套足以确立自信的油画本领,我所掌握的油画技巧是五六十年代通用的写实风格,这点本领在1977年画《青纱帐》时得到尽情地发挥,至今我对前段走过的艺术道路的珍爱之情总是首先落在这幅画上。

——韦启美

《怎么画——我的几点思考》

《飞往北京的班机上》,布面油彩,104×92cm,1982年

不综观近一百年的历史巨幕的色彩变化,就调不准表现此时此刻的生活的色彩。只有把生活中的片段放在巨大的历史整体的背景中去认识,才能敏锐地分辨出它 最有价值的信息,才能感受到它的全部的内涵。

——韦启美

《新线》,布面油彩,82×110cm,1983年,中国美术馆藏


《大坝的构思》,布面油彩,113×134cm,1984年,北京市美术家协会藏


《夏日》,布面油彩,87×130cm,2001年

在对生活进行艺术关照中,我逐渐发现了一个新的世界,一个被电和齿轮运转的世界,一个用信息、导线和管道联系和编织起来的世界,一个向停滞、匮乏和迷信进击的世界。这个世界是以其特有的线条、形体和色彩组成的。

——韦启美

《为了与时代同步——一个持画笔人的断想》

《在108电车的起点站》,布面油彩,118×140cm,1998年


《提琴的故事》,布面油彩,160×149cm,2007年

“简约、诗意”是我在创作中追求的艺术风格。我在油画创作中往往构建一个与生活着自然在情感上对应的有虚幻意味的世界。

——韦启美

《谈艺》手稿


《老饲养员》,纸本彩墨,56×63cm,年代不详


《早春》,纸本彩墨,45.5×49cm,年代不详


《山顶上》,纸本水墨,46×49cm,年代不详


《繁忙的车站》,纸本水墨,52×66cm,1961年


《骤雨》,纸本水墨,88.5×72.5cm,2003年

不能简单地用实验美学或异质同构论的方法来判定某类笔墨的情感倾向,如不能认为干瘦的线条有逸气,或圆熟的线条有匠气。笔只能放到一幅作品整体中考察才能感受到它的艺术特性和审美效应。笔笔相生,物物相应,画家根据心中意象,遣使笔墨,笔墨从字、词、短句形态(如大师的授徒画稿) 积聚成画,笔才从运动和建构中获得生命。
