水色街景─吳承硯水彩畫展
EXHIBITION
Watercolor Street Scenes – Wu Chen-Yen Watercolor Painting
吳承硯於1943年入學國立南京中央大學藝術系，當時學校迴避戰禍已西遷四川重慶，教授們卻維持嚴謹專業教學，藝術系先後由徐悲鴻及呂斯百等，出身巴黎國立高等美術學院 (Beaux-Arts de Paris) 的老師掌門。學生受教多紮下深厚根基。我們在本展藉由吳承硯1960與1970年代的水彩作品，進一步來看這樣的訓練，如何深刻地影響藝術家的創作態度。
In 1943, Wu Chen-yen enrolled in the Department of Fine Arts at the National Central University of Nanjing, which had already moved to Chongqing, Sichuan Province, to avoid the scourge of war. The professors maintained a rigorous and professional teaching. The Department of Art was headed by teachers from the School of Fine Arts of Paris, including Xu Beihong and Lu Sibai. The students have been taught to build a strong foundation. In this exhibition, we choose Wu Chen-yen's watercolor works from the 1960s and 1970s to further examine how this training has profoundly influenced the artist's creative attitude.
台北南門
Bell Tower, Taipei
1973 / 水彩、畫紙 Watercolor on Paper / 38 × 59 cm
「台北南門｣一作以仰角表現法，使兩座歷史建築更顯宏偉高大，人車穿梭其間彷彿點景，一如畫家的街景作品，慣見人物眾多熱鬧繁華之安排。
The work "Taipei South Gate" uses an elevated angle to make the two historical buildings appear even more magnificent and tall, and the people and vehicles passing through them seem like a point of view, just like the artist's street scenes, which are used to seeing many people in a busy and bustling arrangement.
