古元这个人虽然很多人没听说过,但提起中央美院副院长,大家都会有些印象,在上世纪八十年代当过好几年央美院长。在当代艺术界绝非籍籍无名之辈。

对于众多美术学子来说,中央美院无疑是梦寐以求的地方,甚至是神一般的存在。看看那些当过中央美院院长的人,从徐悲鸿到靳尚谊,哪一个不是名动一时的画坛翘楚?!

相比徐悲鸿等艺术大家,古元的名气和影响力都有些逊色,但这并不代表古元的艺术水准不足。对古元有所了解的朋友大概都知道,古元的艺术成就主要表现在版画领域。徐悲鸿正是在1942年重庆举办的展览会上见到了古元的木刻后,兴奋地在报上发表文章,称其为“中国艺术界一卓绝之天才”。

殊不知,当时的中国新兴版画不过区区二十年历史,竟然能如此迅速地出现一位巨星,难怪像徐悲鸿这样的艺术大家也会不吝赞美之词。

说到古元,我们很容易想到他的一位得意弟子,同样担任过中央美院副院长的徐冰。尽管徐冰的艺术创作一直有着诸多争议,但是他的艺术思维得到了世界艺术界的广泛认可,曾获美国麦克阿瑟“天才奖”等国际大奖,代表作《天书》入选世界艺术史教科书。

还在小学时,徐冰就写过一篇作文,题目就叫《我爱古元的画》。

徐冰成名后,专门写过一篇《懂得古元》的文章怀念他的恩师。谈到古元对他的艺术思维产生的影响时,徐冰这样说道:古元和他的艺术在我思维的网络中是一个坐标,在我需要“辨别”时,总会遇到它。

尽管如此,惊龙轩对古元的水彩画却是格外印象深刻。除了版画,古元的水粉画和水彩画都有相当的造诣。和版画风格一样,古元的水彩画构图多变、简洁、明朗、清新、具有鲜明民族特色和地方特点的独特风格。这些水彩画散发着浓浓的乡土气息,有着很强的感染力。

古元对自己秉承的艺术态度相当执着,在执教中央美院时,正是新潮美术兴起的年代,当时不少人认为他的作品太过守旧,缺乏创新精神。可是古元不以为意,他认为:艺术上应该各行其道,我不要求别人走我的道路,别人也无权要求我和他走一样的道路。

正因如此,古元的水彩画一直保留着那份淳朴却又不乏天真烂漫的独特魅力。当然,他对沉静自然、单纯朴实的风格的追求还与其朴素温和的个人气质有着密切联系。

古元不仅担任过中国美术家协会副主席和中国版画家协会副主席,也担任过北京水彩画研究会名誉会长。这也说明,古元的水彩画与他的版画一样,浑然天成,魅力独具。
