  在当代中国工笔花鸟画领域,如果要选一位既能传承优秀的传统,又能有突破性的创新;既有深厚的文学艺术修养,又具有精深的绘画功力;既有甘于寂寞的艺术家特质,又具进取探索精神的德艺双馨的代表人物,邹传安先生可以说是众望所归、当之无愧。
  早在二十年前就认识了邹传安先生,当时他那风度翩翩的传统儒者文人形象,一下子就令我留下了深刻的印象。而更引起我注意的是,他那清新明丽的工笔花鸟作品,已经突破了传统中国工笔花鸟画厚而坚韧的藩篱,开拓出工笔花鸟画的另一新天地,这是一个十分了不起的成就。从始,邹传安与我们的艺术推广事业就结下了不解之缘。
  中国工笔花鸟画早于唐代就形成一独立的画种,发展至宋代已进入成熟的高峰。闻名于世的宋院工笔花鸟画,以其出神入化的线条、严谨的造形和淡雅的设色,散发出恬静而典雅的魅力,至今风采依然,并成为中国工笔花鸟画经典之传统。数百年来,尽管历代工笔画家高手如云,但绝大多数都是以宋院画风为师,或稍作改良,基本上无法跳出这传统的框架。然而,艺术领域本是一个广阔的天空,给予了所有艺术家一个巨大的舞台去发挥自己的才华,谁能创作出优秀而创新的作品,谁就能在历史上留下光辉的名字,并为人类艺术史作出了有用的贡献。问题的关键是,谁人能具有突破前人的勇气,并有高超的能力和坚韧的毅力去完成这艰巨的变革。近代名师刘奎龄、于非闇、陈之佛等在传统基础上,赋予了工笔花鸟画更多色彩和内涵,进一步完善和充实了传统中国工笔花鸟画,为中国工笔花鸟画作出了重要的贡献。然而,他们的画风基本上仍然无法超出传统的范畴。而邹传安先生的作品虽同样具有很深的传统基础,但却在传统工笔花鸟画领域上作出了大跨度的突破,这从根本的意义上是属于划时代的,对中国工笔花鸟未来的发展产生深远的启示和影响。
  邹传安的作品,保持了工笔画精致入微的写实属性,但追求的却是画面如诗般的意境;他严谨地刻划出花鸟的形态,但更注重的是表现花鸟的动态和生命力; 为了营造出画面的气氛并增强视觉冲击力,他大胆地运用了多种绘画的的手段,包括渲染、泼彩和肌理效果,同时巧妙地运用丰富的色彩,精心刻划出物象的光、色和质感。当他把优秀的中国传统技巧、独特的个人审美意识和各种现代绘画手法作了有机的结合,就产生了前所没有的邹传安工笔花鸟新画风,为中国工笔花鸟画开辟了一条新路。
  二十年前,邹传安先生凭着一系列创新性的佳作曾赢得了「湖南第一高手」的美誉。在近二十年来的艺术实力竞争中,邹传安凭着其真诚之作先后在港台、东南亚和美加,以及国内的大江南北都获得美术界和收藏界高度的评价,他的作品成为国内外无数工笔画家学习的蓝本,他的鲜明画风和独创技艺更影响着中国画坛无数的后学者。
  历史上伟大的艺术大师,除了技艺超群,大多数同时俱备了深厚的文学艺术修养,否则在艺术境界上无法到达更高的层次,作品亦无法提升至更高的格调。邹传安先生出生于书香世家,自小与中国文学结缘,尽管历炼风雨,然学习从不倦怠。他在青年时代已打下良好的文学基础,四十余岁的他已在各地专业院校授课,并著书立说。他于八十年代末撰写的《中国工笔花鸟技法》著作一纸风行,再版无数,并被评为当今最具系统性及实用性的专业著述。正是凭着他厚积的学术修养和高超的绘画技艺,使其作品充满生命力和感染力,并有着浓厚的文学性。如今,亦正是他的作品,为他赢得了「当代中国工笔花鸟画第一人」的称誉。
  作为一个成功的艺术界名人,往往在光环的笼罩下会迷失了方向,尤其在当今功利当头的经济挂帅型社会中,许多人更会抵受不住外界的诱惑和冲击,失去了前进的动力。近年来,中国各地许多画家略有成就便满足现状,固步自封,他们得利于中国新兴的艺术市场,但最终亦要被市场所淘汰。而同样面对着现实的社会生态,邹传安却能保持着清醒的头脑。他为人谦逊,但充满自信;他关心社会,却不当弄潮儿。他以平常心看待外间的一切,专心一意地继续投入艺术的探索和创作。这种甘得寂寞、不断进取的精神正高度体现了他那真正艺术家的特质。这亦是他受到社会各界人士敬重的重要原因。
  经过多年筹备,《天籁之境‧邹传安作品集》即将与中外广大艺术爱好者见面了,我感到由衷的兴奋。这画集是传安兄过去数十年艺术奋斗生涯的记证,除收录了他九十余幅历年精心作品,同时亦收录了他的艺术见解和心得。著名理论家阎正先生真情的描述使人们得以生动地了解邹传安的为人和品格;沙雁先生的评论令人能进一步解读邹先生作品的艺术特色。在此,我谨向传安致以崇高的敬意和祝贺,愿他身体健康,继续为中国艺术事业作出更大的贡献!并以此为序。

  Foreword
  In the domain of meticulous Chinese brushwork painting of flowers and birds, if to select one who has succeeded the fine tradition but has also made a breakthrough; who possesses profound literary cultivation but also technical skills; who has the initiative for artistic exploration and also the virtue of an artist, Mr Zou Chuanan is truly one who deserves public respect and support.
  I have known Mr Zou Chuanan since twenty years ago. At that time, his demeanor of Confucian gentleman left a deep impression in my mind. What caught more of my attention was his refreshing and beautiful meticulous brushwork flower-and-bird paintings, which had already broken through the tenacious hedge around the flower-and-bird painting tradition and opened up a new world of it. This is a terrific achievement. From then, an indissoluble bond between Zou Chuanan and us has started.
  From early in the Tang Dynasty, meticulous Chinese brushwork of flowers and birds has formed an independent painting category. In the Song Dynasty, it reached its mature, peak stage. The famous flower-and-bird painting of the Song Court has become the classic and tradition of Chinese painting with its spellbinding use of lines and curves, conscientious and careful use of forms and colors, as well as the elegant and quiet style. The graceful bearing has lasted until today. In the later few hundred years, although there are a lot of master hands of meticulous brushwork painting, most of them had only made slight modification but could not free themselves from the framework set by the Song Court. However, the world of art is so vast that it provides a gigantic stage for the artists to exploit their talents. Those who have created distinctive works of art have contributed to the development of the art of mankind and can then leave their glorious names in history. The key of the question is: who has that ability, willpower and courage to carry out and complete the reformation? In modern China, masters such as Liu Kuiling, Yu Feian and Chen Zhifo endowed the meticulous flower-and-bird painting with more colors and contents based on its tradition. This is a kind of contribution which has improved the painting type to some extents. However, in fact, their painting style has not escaped from traditions and limitations. As for Zou’s painting, which has implied its strong foundation of tradition, is an epoch-making leap and has inspired and influenced the development of the domain in future.
  Zou’s flowers and birds have retained the refined, delicate and realistic nature of meticulous brushwork painting. Nevertheless, what he pursues is the poetic feeling given by the general appearance of the picture. Conscientiously and carefully, he depicts the shapes and forms of the flowers and birds. But what he stresses the most is their life and movement. In order to construct an atmosphere and visual impact of the picture, he boldly uses various kinds of painting skills, by applying and splashing colors onto the drawing and creating different and special skin textures. At the same time, he aptly uses a wide range of hues and colors to show the texture, light and shade. When the fine tradition of Chinese painting skills combines with the skills of the modern time, together with his individual aesthetics, an precedented style that uniquely belongs to Zou has evolved.
  Twenty years ago, Mr Zou Chuanan gained the fame as ‘The Number One Master-hand in Hunan’ with his series of refreshing works. In these twenty years, Zou has earned high acclaims from both artists and collectors and spread his good name in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, US, Canada, and the mainland China. His painting has become model of learning for numerous artists in China. Also, his unique style and skills have influenced countless scholars in the art circle.
  In Chinese history, great masters of art do not only possess profound technical skills but also literary and scholarly cultivation, or else, they would not be able to reach higher level of art, and their works would not be able to be raised to a spiritual level. Mr Zou Chuanan was born in an intellectual family. This formed cause for his love for literature. Despite difficulties and adversities, he has never been tired and ceased to learn. At his adolescence, he had already built a good foundation of literature; at his 40s, he had already taught in professional institutions, to write books and to expound his doctrine. In the late 1980s, his Skills of Chinese Meticulous Brushwork Painting of Flowers and Birds was so popular that many editions were published since then. It has been graded as one of the most systematic and practical art books for today. Because of his academic accomplishment and superb painting skills, his works are full of literary manner, life and appeal. Now, with his marvelous works, he is named ‘The Number One of Meticulous Flowers and Birds in Modern China’.
  As a successful celebrated artist, it is easy to lose one’s direction under the shroud of halo. Especially in today’s utilitarian society commanded by money and economy, many people would not be able to withstand the impact and temptation, and thus, have lost the motivation for progress. In recent years, there are many Chinese artists who rest on their laurels and confine themselves after achieving a little. In fact, it is merely a benefit from the overall burgeoning art market in China. They would be eliminated through competition in the end. Facing the same real life environment, Zou Chuanan has instead maintained a clear mind. He is humble yet self-confident; he cares for the society yet do not bother himself with short sight activities of tide and trend. He looks at everything with a peaceful heart, and devotes himself to the exploration and creation of art. He is content with his lot and is not afraid of lonesome and boredom. Such unfailing spirit is truly that of a great artist. And this is the reason for his wide public respect and support.
  After many years of preparation, Rhythm of Blossom-The Art of Zou Chuanan is about to meet the audience. I am very glad about it. This art album is a record of the many years of hard work by Chuanan. Apart from the ninety-odd fine paintings, it has also included his views, his understanding and what he has learnt about art. The revealing passage by the famous art critic Mr Yan Zheng has let us know more about the personality and character of Zou. And another famous art critic Mr Sha Yan has helped us understand more about the characteristics, the beauty and the distinctiveness of Zou’s art. Here and now, I would like to express my heartfelt respect and congratulations to Chuanan. With this, my foreword, I wish him health, and further contribution to the art of China.
