Zhejiang is an important town of fine arts, and it is a blessed place where China's calligraphy and painting originated and passed down for thousands of years. In addition to having a national first-class art education college, it is also necessary to set up an institution specialized in art creation and research besides education-the Painting Academy. Pan Tianshou, then president of East China Branch of Central Academy of Fine Arts, still insisted on the overall situation of Zhejiang fine arts with foresight and strategy, which ensured the subsequent development of Zhejiang fine arts and won a double harvest of education and creation.
Lu was the first president of Zhejiang Painting Academy and taught at Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts, the predecessor of China Academy of Fine Arts. His academic spirit and artistic spirit have been deeply influencing and nourishing Zhejiang Painting Academy.
Two masters of art gathered a group of elite soldiers: Gu Shengyue, Liu Hang, Xu Qixiong, Ceng Fu, Jiang Baolin, Zhu Qi, Lv Mai, Weng Zuliang, Feng Zhuo, Gu Wenda, He Shuifa, Sun Yong, Song Ling ... The painstaking cultivation and sowing of the painters have yielded fruitful results.
Shuttle Gallery, hundreds of works by late or retired artists, researchers and advanced students, witnessed the rise and prosperity of Zhejiang Painting Academy, and also reflected the continuous development process of Zhejiang contemporary Chinese painting in glory. This is due to Lu's creative idea of seeking change all his life, and also to the gradual improvement and perfection of the Academy in the process of communication, assistance and guidance. Sun Yong, the current president, said that this is the slogan that the Academy has been continuing, "Inheriting the classics and carrying forward the future".
Strolling through the exhibition hall, the curator of China Art Museum couldn't help but be overjoyed: during his teaching in Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts, Lu not only cultivated a group of famous painters, but also had a far-reaching influence on a large number of new painters-a generation of China painters who grew up after the founding of New China recognized and worked hard for Lu's artistic ideas and academic direction, which formed Lu's great influence in contemporary China painting circles. These works not only inherit Mr. Wang's painting spirit, but also represent the creative height of Zhejiang Chinese painting in contemporary painting circles.
