庆中法建交50周年《8+1中法艺术家油画展》在重庆开展

4月1日，《8+1中法艺术家油画展》在解放碑重庆美术馆开幕，8位重庆籍中国艺术家和1位法国艺术家的近百幅油画作品同台亮相。参加法国艺术家的作品曾在巴黎和毕加索的画作一起展出，为重庆人民带来了一场艺术的饕餮盛宴。

据策展人魏东介绍，此次参展的有陈镜伟、冯均雄、何国平、邵常毅、唐亮、杨立、翟渝生、郑可等8位重庆艺术家的油画作品，还有80岁高龄的法国艺术家克萝德·勒苏女士的油画。参展艺术家郑可是勒苏女士的中国朋友，他说，对许多观众来讲，勒苏或许显得陌生，但是其作品值得一看，上个世纪60年代，勒苏的作品就曾在巴黎和毕加索的作品同台展出。郑可说，他曾在与勒苏女士交流时多次谈到自己的故乡重庆，“说到了重庆的山水、火锅、乡村以及四川美院，重庆也有许多热爱艺术的年轻人。当时勒苏就表示，希望自己的作品能够来重庆展览。由于年事已高且身患疾病，勒苏的行动已经很困难，但她仍然坚持不懈地创作和参与各种艺术活动，并多次表态希望与中国艺术家一起举办画展，于是商定了这次展览。虽然勒苏女士今天不能亲自到场，但她的11件油画作品还是如约与重庆观众见面。

今年是中法建交五十周年，而早在一百余年前，中法两国就已建立起了包括美术在内的文化艺术领域的交流。近现代中国赴法学习美术并取得卓越成就的人士也不在少数，如徐悲鸿、刘海粟、林风眠、刘开渠、吴作人、吴冠中、赵无极、朱德群等。

《8+1中法艺术家油画展》于4月1日至9日在重庆美术馆首展，5月初移师上海展出。7月初，所有参展艺术家将赴法国，与勒苏女士进行面对面的艺术交流，并将在巴黎马蒂斯美术馆举办同题展览。
