Shi Lu, Fine Arts Magazine, Artistic controversy, Inheritance and innovation, Modernization and transformation, Brush and inkAbstract
Fine Arts magazine paid attention to and discussed Shi Lu for about six years in the 1950s and 1960s. It witnessed his transformation from traditional style to "strange changes in ink and brushwork" and the expansion of his subject matter. It also triggered discussions on the balance between traditional inheritance and innovation, as well as the renewal of critical standards. Through discussing Shi Lu's works, the magazine tries to guide the direction of Chinese painting creation, encourage attention to reality and innovation, construct a new discourse system and image paradigm, and trigger thoughts on tradition, innovation, and standards.
