藝術與歷史 一漫談文革系列肖像作品《歷史中國眾生相1966-1976》      （English summary：Professor Xu Weixin, who recently completed his tenure as the Dean of the School of Art at Renmin University in Beijing, is a renowned scholar and oil painter. At this slide illustrated-lecture, he will relate his experience creating his famous series Chinese Historical Figures 1966 - 1976, which consists of over 100 oil paintings of a variety of figures from the Cultural Revolution.）   華美人文學會3月30日特邀剛剛卸任人民大學藝術學院執行院長、著名油畫家徐唯辛教授做專題講座，介紹他創作的文革人物系列肖像作品心歷路程。徐教授用了八年時間（至今尚在進行）創作的《歷史中國眾生相1966-1976》是以100多幅巨大尺幅的油畫系列肖像組成的陣列，同時配有人物的簡歷文本和錄像，不僅有很強的感染力，也有歷史教科書的功能，在歷史被遺忘的語境裡，展現出很強的現實意義。畫出的人，都是曾經生活於20世紀後期那極端嚴酷歲月的中國人，其中既有有政治人物、紅衛兵、知識分子、普通百姓，也有受難者和加害者。與他以往那些人物畫作品不同，這一組作品的人物身份天差地別--既有平凡而不幸的人物，也有在那十年裡呼風喚雨的角色，前者的遭遇和命運取決於後者的某種意向或者僅僅是某種衝動；前者是被毀滅的個人，而後者是個人的毀滅者。   徐教授在講座過程中，將投放他創作的文革系列肖像並與聽眾互動，詳解創作該作品的意義、初衷、花絮、內容與形式的解釋等等。   講座免費。因座位有限，請預先訂位。網上訂位請訪 http://chineselectures.org/033014.html。   Date：Sunday, March 30, 2014 Time：2:00-4:00 pm Kung Fu     A new play by David Henry Hwang   Thursday, April 3, 2014 ~ 7:30pm   Signature Theatre 480 West 42nd Street New York, NY 10036     "Fists fly with all the fury an action fan could want!" - The New York Times   An exhilarating portrait of international icon Bruce Lee's journey from troubled Hong Kong youth to martial arts legend, Kung Fu blends dance, Chinese opera, martial arts, and drama into a bold new theatrical form.
