《黄锐：艺术人生》Part 1 开始创作与创造星星

1979年，黄锐与马德升发起了“星星美展”，栗宪庭对此评价：“开启了中国现代艺术的序幕。”但是作为揭竿人的“星星”，并非一场即兴式街头运动，而是经历了漫长时间的潜伏期。以黄锐为例：黄锐自1969年就与北岛相识，1971年参加了北岛家里举办的“地下诗歌沙龙”，那时他是一名练习绘画基本功的青年，但已然确立了寻找新生代艺术的志向。从1978年起，黄锐开始创作个人风格的绘画，画了许多身边新女性的肖像。

In 1979, Huang Rui and Ma Desheng launched the Stars Art Exhibition, which Li Xianting evaluated as "opening the prelude of Chinese modern art". However, as the pioneer, it was not an impromptu street movement, but experienced a long incubation period. Taking Huang Rui as an example: he has known Beidao since 1969 and participated in the Underground Poetry Salon held by Beidao at home in 1971. At that time, he only had basic painting skills, but he was already determined to find the art of a new generation. From 1978, Huang Rui began to create works with his own style by painting various portraits of new women around.

受到诗歌影响，他于1979年创作了《圆明园遗嘱》、《圆明园-新生》;又于1980年创作了《圆明园葬礼》、《圆明园-自由》，这一组绘画都是象征主义风格的。1978年在中国美术馆展出的几幅塞尚原作，“解放了我个人的艺术人生，”黄锐这样说。塞尚作品的启示不仅体现在技法上，更是体现在创作观念上。在这些1979至1981年的创作中，可以发现塞尚主义潜在发生、发展的倾向。

Influenced by poetry, he created The Old Summer Palace Testament and The Old Summer Palace - Rebirth in 1979, along with The Old Summer Palace Funeral and The Old Summer Palace - Freedom in 1980, which are a series of symbolist paintings. In 1978, a few original Cézanne paintings were exhibited at the National Art Museum of China which, according to Huang Rui, "liberated my personal artistic life". The inspiration of Cézanne's works lies not only in techniques, but more in the concepts of creation. In these works made between 1979 and 1981, we can find the latent tendency of occurrence and development of Cézannism.

1980

在园明园遗址公园于80年代后期建成之前，园明园遗址是一大片自由出入的荒地。自1978年始，诗人们、画家们、北京的文艺青年，热衷于在这里写生、聚会、举办诗歌朗诵会和舞会。以后又建成北漂艺术家聚集的“园明园艺术村”。这里不仅是国家历史的“再教育基地”，也是中国80年代启蒙运动的飞地。

Before building the park in the late 1980s, Yuanmingyuan Site was a vast wasteland which gives access to all public. Since 1978, poets, painters and artistic youth from Beijing have used this site for painting, gathering, hosting poetry readings and dancing parties. In later years, the "Yuanmingyuan Art Village" was formed and artists who moved to Beijing all ended up gathering here. It is not only an "re-education base" to China's history, but also an enclave of China's enlightenment movement in the 1980s.
