前 言

▂▂▂▂▂▂


对中国的近现代美术史及中国美术现代进程的研究,一直以来,比较注重于中西文化的交流历史与发展状况,这其中,很重要的一大版块就是关于中国美术留学问题的史料挖掘与分析研究,往往这样的留学历史与现象涉及时间的维度与地理空间、经济政治的关系等等。早期的一条重要留学路径是留欧,特别是重点落在留法,旁及德国、比利时、英国等,欧洲作为西方文化的主流典型代表,留欧也成为了接受西方与现代性文化正果的不二途径。因此,留欧归来,无论学到的是经典的、老套的,还是现代的、时髦的,无论是公派的、官助的,还是自费的、民助的,归国后都可能成为一个时代文化前沿的代表或主力,在时代与历史中占据重要的位置,发挥着较主流的影响。因此,对留欧,特别是留法的研究也成为了一直被关注的艺术史研究课题。


而另一路留学的路径是经由日本向西方学习,这与地理和文化有着密切的关系,而通过这样的一个特殊桥梁,在特定的历史时期,为中国向西方学习打开了一扇重要的大门,这样的学习路径也为中国早期现代美术体制、教育机制等的引入提供了直接的借鉴。这方面的研究多年来也成为了一门显学。


再有,由于意识形态与政治阵营的关系,向苏俄学习,留苏并引入苏联艺术体制,也成为了20世纪中叶中国向世界文化主流体系靠拢的主要途径,影响之大,至今一直被研究与论述中。


但是,曾经发生在 20 世纪初期甚至更早的向西方美术学习,留(游)学北美的艺术史、社会史现象,却一直少有关注,更谈不上较有系统的研究和资料发掘,这其中的原因应该是比较复杂的。也正因为其复杂,为我们的挖掘与探讨带来了特别的可能性与丰富性。


其实,中国最早的官费到外国学习现代文化技术与广东有直接关系,被誉为“中国留学生之父”的容闳就是广东香山人,而他首倡、策划、促成和领导的近代中国第一代官费留美学生派遣,其中也多为广东籍的“学童”,如后来影响中国近现代历史的重要人物詹天佑、唐绍仪、吴仰曾等;同期,发生在19世纪后期到20世纪初期前往北美学习美术的现象,其人员构成也以广东、闽南沿海区域为多,像李铁夫 1885 年就前往北美,并学习了油画,也被誉为“中国留学油画第一人”,而后有冯钢百、余本、关墨园、朱沅芷等。早期粤人留美学习艺术的社会与时代的背景有其特殊性,这与当时的华工、移民、家族以及地缘、经济、文化等有着一定的关系,也可能构成了与华侨史、社会人类学等相关的重大文化课题。


因此,这一现象也与留欧、留日、留苏等的文化背景、学习过程、遭遇状态,以及艺术经历与方式等,都差异性很大。


但是,令人遗憾和可惜的是,由于对这样的留学历史及群体关注与研究的严重不足,使得一方面,对他们远涉重洋求艺他乡的经历了解缺失,其与特殊的留学背景包括家族、华侨等的文化关系远未挖掘;而另一方面,他们后来或回国或旅居当地,对中国现代美术事业或当地的艺术作为也不甚明了,他们游走东西之间所形成的独特艺术创造更是未能引起足够的重视,因此,他们中的不少艺术家成了中西艺术史与文化史书写当中的多重缺席者。


正是基于这样的研究现状,广州美术学院美术馆在“文化和旅游部2022年度全国美术馆馆藏精品展出季项目”中开启了这一研究课题,得到了海内外众多研究、收藏机构与学者的支持,在美术馆的年青学人们的共同努力下,打开了一扇对这一课题窥探的窗。2013年我在中央美术学院美术馆时,与曹庆晖教授等开展了“留法艺术家与他们的老师”的专题研究,并与法国的文化机构密切联系,希望做成一个具有深入研究意义的专题展览。同时,也与李垚辰等同仁通过李叔同油画专题而展开对中国早期留日艺术家的介绍、研究及展览。这次,我与广州美术学院同仁初步完成的粤籍早期留学北美的专题研究展览,于2025年带到了中央美术学院美术馆来交流展出,期待得到专家学者们的批评及建议,以使我们进一步深入完善这一研究课题。谢谢大家!
