| 油畫藝術傳入中國可遠溯數百年，20世紀初，大批留學生遠渡重洋，他們的學成歸來開啟了油畫藝術在中國的新時代。古典主義、現實主義、現代主義……一時間遍地開花、爭奇鬥艷，形成了早期油畫藝術的高潮。新中國成立後，蘇派風格和油畫民族化齊頭並進，中國油畫轉入從學習到內化的階段。具有中華民族文化內涵和具有現實主義精神特質的油畫藝術開始萌發、勃興。改革開放以來，幾代油畫家更是緊隨新時代的腳步，辛勤探索、銳意進取，在題材內容、主題思想、語言形式等諸多方面深入思考、大膽創新，油畫人才不斷涌現，精品佳作層見疊出。
The introduction of oil painting to China can trace its history far back to hundreds of years ago. In the early 20th century, a large number of students returning from abroad stated a new era of oil painting art in China, with classicism, realism, modernism and other styles competing with each other, reaching a climax of early oil painting art. After the founding of the People’s Republic China, Russian style and nationalization of oil painting grew together and oil painting with Chinese cultural connotation and realistic trait began to emerge, turning the development of oil painting in China from learning to internalization. Since the reform and opening up, generations of artists sought hard and forged ahead to keep up with the pace of the modern world, bringing forth new ideas in subjects, contents, themes, expressions and so on. Many talented painters came to the fore and excellent works kept on standing out.
今天，隨著我們的祖國更加強大，隨著美術事業的繁榮發展，中國的油畫藝術也迎來了一個嶄新的發展機遇。前輩油畫家老當益壯，中年油畫家正值盛年，青年油畫家也已經迅速成長起來，並開始參與到推動中國油畫藝術的發展進程中來。當代的中國青年油畫家大多受過嚴格的學院訓練，具有嫺熟的技術和對油畫媒材的專業理解。他們在創作中不斷尋找個性化的繪畫語言和表現方式，表達內心的感受和對社會的認知。這一切，都使得我們的油畫藝術在觀念上越來越開放、在風格上越來越多樣，既有對傳統的深入挖掘，也有對本體的深刻思考，更有對現實的深切關懷……
Today, with the development of our great country and the arts, oil painting art in China is facing a new opportunity for development. Senior painters are still hale and hearty. Middle-aged painters are in the prime of their lives while young painters are growing quickly and are gradually promoting the development of Chinese oil painting art. Most young painters nowadays, strictly trained in colleges, are highly skilled and have a professional knowledge of oil painting media. They are constantly seeking for unique form of expression for their own feelings and understanding of the world. All of the above factors contribute to open-minded views and various styles in the oil painting art today. It shows respect to the tradition, reflection on the subject and care for the reality.
