 As
China became the member of WTO, China will face more challenges
in many area,at the same time, more chances comes. What is the
effect on Chinese traditional painting is still unpredictable,
at least in a short period of time. One thing is certain is
that the western culture will rush to China and play a more
important role. Where the Chinese culture will go? Some people
asserted in mid-1980s that Chinese traditional culture has come
to the end, all the tradition will be changed and westernized.
However, after about 20 years opening, Chinese culture did not
perish, but more and more prosperous.
It is a common sense that a nation should keep its own speciality
on culture and other areas. Chinese painting, after 5000-year
development, is still vivid . It is deep-rooted in China,
and loved by Chinese people. Some artists have suggested to
establish a Chinese Painting Acedmy, to foster painters with
essence of Chinese culture and spirit.
 How
can Chinese painting will go out of China? It is not a simple
question. Only few Chinese painters has held exhibition abroad.
Foreigners and overseas Chinese know nothings about the paintings.
In China, famous artists's works are very expensive, and are
not accessible to ordinary people. What is more, there are
still many problems in our art market.There are so many good
art works can not be circulated on the market. Galleries,
art museums and academies are worried about this phenomenon.
There are so many artists in various institutes and associations,
but there rendered almost nothing to Chinese people.
Chinese painting has its own characteristics. As the economic
development, Chinese people will afford the Chinese paintings
they like. At present there are some painters who makes experiments
on our Chinese painting, what I want to say here is, you need
not do this to meet the need of foreigners, and that will
let you to lost ego. Just be yourselves .
