题目内容
15.While many Chinese overseas artists are switching to other more profitable fields,Huang Shanye,a painter of the Zhuang ethnic group,stands out as an exception.His art has gradually earned him fame over the course of his more than 20 years in the United States.He was even able to leave behind his steady job as an art teacher and fully devote himself to what he describes as a pursuit(追求) of beauty.The common theme of Huang's many works lies in the combination of traditional Chinese elements and Western painting techniques."I apply Chinese calligraphy(书法),paper cutting,facial makeup of Peking Opera--all the things that I can find in traditional Chinese culture--to Western oil painting,"Huang said at an exhibition held recently in his home county of Montgomery,Maryland in the US,where friends and neighbors had come to view some of his work.
One of Huang's works in the show,which had been featured on the exhibition's flier(广告传单),served as a good example.Titled In Harmony,the painting shows two green dragons facing one another on a golden plate--a characteristic of Chinese tradition.Huang decorated the surface with the words"peace"and"dragon",both in Chinese and in English.Michele Cohen,director of the Betty Mae Kramer Gallery,pointing to Huang's In Harmony,says:"I think this work really shows how an artist can combine one tradition with another,and it really comes out in a mixed form."
In 1998,American composer Silas Huff met Huang at an exhibition and was moved by Huang's sketch Tapestry of Dreams,which was later realized into a large-scale work consisting of a dozen 1-by-1-meter panels of paintings describing the traditions and longings of Huang's people.
Inspired by the work,Huff composed a 25-minute symphony(交响乐),Spring Song Festival,made up of Chinese folk melodies.Ten years later when Huff and Huang reconnected,Huff was able to bring two ballet schools on board and create a ballet based on the symphony.The work was performed at LaGuardia Performing Art Center in New York in the spring of 2009,with Huang's Tapestry of Dreams as a background.
