每年七月，都是一批艺术院校的学子们告别美丽校园、面向社会的重要时节。今年的毕业季，我刊也汇聚了一批反映学院学子的创作与青年艺术动态的专题报告与研究。我们在这里感谢邓国源院长等前辈对于年轻一代的殷殷祝愿，在中华崛起的时代，人们正在用一种特殊的关注呼唤着年轻的心灵。

本期的《今日人物》栏目，我们关注了抽象艺术家刘刚，他是中国抽象艺术的前辈，更是抽象艺术教育的先行者，他在这一领域的成绩与所作的相应思考，也代表了中国一代艺术人渴望将抽象艺术融入中国本土文化的努力。

本期的《艺术视野》和《展览现场》栏目，为呼应毕业季的主题，我们则关注了一些立足于青年艺术家创作生态的展览，从各种当代青年艺术家、学院画家的角度解读艺术家的创作状态。本期的《艺术生态》和《海外艺术》栏目，我们则主要关注着民间艺术、性别艺术等专题。艺术研究是一个需要开阔视野的领域，我们今天的研究，正在为一个视野更为开阔的时代准备前奏。

[Editorial]

Every July, it is time for a batch of art students to bid farewell to their campus life and step into society. In this year’s graduation season, we bring together a number of special reports and researches reflecting the creation and news of college students and young artists. Here we would like to express our gratitude to President Deng Guoyuan and other predecessors for their heartfelt wishes for the young generation, and in the rise of China, people are calling for the young mind with a special concern.

In the column of Figures of Today, we focus on the abstract artist Liu Gang. He is a predecessor of Chinese abstract art, and more importantly, a forerunner of abstract art education. His achievements and relevant reflections in this field also represent a generation of Chinese artists’ effort to corporate abstract art into Chinese native culture.

On the occasion of graduation season, the columns of Art Vision and Exhibition Reviews center on some exhibitions reflecting the creations of young artists, in which the visitors may get acquainted with the recent activities of creation of various contemporary young artists and academic painters. The columns of Art Ecology and Overseas Art carry articles about folk art and gender art respectively. As we know, art research is an area that needs to broaden the horizon, and our research today serves as a prelude to an era of broader vision.
