When I was young, my family lived on Yang Shouzheng's salary and my family was poor. 1February, 935, he was admitted to the Fine Arts Teachers' Department (senior high school) affiliated to Wuchang Art College to study painting. At that time, his teachers were Tang Yihe, Ding Daobing and Shen Shizhuang, and his classmates were Liu Yiwen, Jiang Zhenyu, Tang Ce, Wang Jiazhen and Zhang Xianyun. Mr. Yang is diligent. He used the light of Song and Ming Dynasties to paint, and he became accustomed to it day and night. His works are often several times as many as others. Without money to buy paper, I picked it up from my classmates and painted on the back, so I studied very well and was respected by my classmates. From 65438 to 0936, he initiated "Three Materials Painting" with Liu Yiwen, Cheng Baizhou, Yi Guangfu and Ding Daozhong, and held many exhibitions. The national disaster is at the forefront, and the anti-Japanese propaganda is in full swing. The teachers and students of Wuchang Art College are full of passion. Yang He and other students made posters in Wuchang, Yichang, Yingcheng and other places, such as defending Wuhan, driving the enemy out of China and blood out, and going behind enemy lines, and actively participated in street dramas such as putting down your whip and playing the role of an old man. Yang likes sports, especially basketball, and often leads the team to participate in competitions. 65438-0938 Yang graduated from high school and entered the Western Painting Group of the Painting Department of Wuchang Art College in February. 1At the end of 938, Wuchang Art College moved to Jiangjin, Sichuan. During his stay in Chongqing, Tang Yihe, Zhang Zhaoming, Wang Daoping, Jiang Chiming and Lin Baojing successively taught in Wuchang Art College. During his college years, Yang's oil painting art has gradually reached the perfect level. 1939 Many works participated in the National Art Exhibition of the Labor Army. Mr. Chang Shuhong was full of praise for Mr. Wang's oil painting portrait, and hung two of his paintings in the classroom of the National Academy of Art for students to demonstrate. Yang graduated from Wuchang Art College. This year, many works participated in the National Art Exhibition (New Year's Day Art Exhibition), among which Self-portrait won the Young Writer Award (Feng Fasi, Li Zongjin, Cheng Baizhou and Ai Zhongxin also won this honor). 194 1 February, 1944, 1 February, Chongqing Inspirational Corporation specially invited Yang to work in the fine arts unit of the head office, specializing in oil painting and stone carving, but few people know his occasional freehand brushwork in ink and wash. During 1942, many oil paintings such as portraits and still life participated in the autumn art exhibition organized by the National Artists Association. 1September, 1943 to1June, 1944 was hired as a lecturer by Chongqing North Hot Spring National Social Education College, and taught in the Audio-visual Education Art Group. 1In April, 944, many oil paintings participated in the Third National Art Exhibition, among which "The Portrait of an Old Man in a Fur Coat" won the Scientific and Cultural Achievement Award (the only award) issued by the Ministry of Education at that time. Mr. Xu Beihong always spoke highly of Mr. Yang's painting art. In the exhibition 1944, Mr. Xu Beihong stood in front of this painting and said in a clear voice, "Are you looking for a hero?" Look here! " 1945 Autumn oil painting "Red Scarf" and "Like Jiang Lanpu" participated in the art exhibition organized by the National Artists Association. Mr Qin said, "Yang is a famous English portrait painter in China". The Chongqing period was the first peak of Yang's artistic career, and his works established his position in the history of China oil painting with superb skills and quality. During the war, a large number of patriotic and progressive artists gathered in Chongqing. Mr. Wang has become good friends with painters Qian Yankang, Fei Yifu, Xu Jiuling, Sun, Li Zongjin, Liao, Ye and Li Keran, film artists Shi Dongshan, Zheng, Te Wei, musician Ma Sicong and dancer Dai. In his later educational career, Yang's broad-minded attitude of eclecticism and not engaging in factionalism had a lot to do with social communication in this period. 1944, Mr. Tang Yijing and Mr. Tang Yihe died unfortunately. Mr. Jiang Lanpu and Mr. Wang came forward to maintain Wuchang Art College, and Yang, Chen Guangzhe and others were invited to return to school to teach. At the call of his alma mater, Mr. Wang resolutely gave up his generous job and returned to Wuchang Art College. 1June 1944 to1May 1949 served as lecturer, associate professor, director of painting department, director of western painting group, and served as oil painting teaching. During the difficult period of Wuchang Art College, it was extremely difficult to raise funds, and teachers' salaries could not be guaranteed. At this time, the life of the Yang family of six people was very poor. Even if they eat carrots and cabbage all day, they sometimes have to pay on credit. Mr. Wang did not hesitate to bid farewell to the brilliance just revealed by a professional painter and began his life-long art education career. 1At the end of 945, Wuchang Art College moved back to Wuhan. Because the original site of Shuilu Street in Wuchang was bombed by the Japanese army, I rented a house in Ningbo Guild Hall and Zhaojiatiao, Wu Dong Road, Hankou, living separately, and insisted on starting classes under poor teaching conditions. 1947 Spring Wuhan Daily introduced Mr. Wang's works with a full page. In the summer of the same year, Mr. Wang married Jiang Zhenyu. Jiang Zhenyu, a native of Hengyang, Hunan, is a music educator. He graduated from Wuchang Art Institute and National Conservatory of Music, and was the head of vocal music department of Hubei Art Institute and Wuhan Conservatory of Music. Both high school and university are classmates of Wuchang Art College. He and her husband experienced an art education career from Chongqing to before liberation. 1June, 948, he had a son named Yang Dan, who is now a professor at Hubei Academy of Fine Arts. 1May, 949, Wuhan was liberated. Wuchang Art College was accepted by the Culture and Education Department of the Military Management Committee. In June, Yang, Zhou and Cheng Baizhou, then director of Hubei Provincial Department of Culture and Education, were invited to set up an art department in Hubei Institute of Education, and the four gentlemen devoted great enthusiasm.

Yang, Yang, Cheng Baizhou and others made great efforts to build the art department of Hubei Institute of Education, and attracted many talents, such as famous painters Wang, Ruanpu, designer Li Yifu, Liang and violinist Sheng Xue, who all came to teach in Hubei at this time. These teachers are the backbone of Hubei fine arts education. Yang is in charge of general practice and teaches in person. He is meticulous and rigorous, prompt to the point, treat students equally, especially patiently help and encourage students with poor professional foundation, and has high teaching prestige. Many of these students will become outstanding talents in Hubei art education field in the future. Mr. Wang is close to workers and peasants, and the reason why his portrait art shines with realistic artistic charm should be related to this social life experience. During this period, he published portraits of Mao Zedong and other national leaders in Hubei. 1952 10, Hubei Institute of Education and Huazhong University merged into Huazhong Normal University. Yang is the head of the painting department, and all the teachers are colleagues from the Fine Arts Department of the former Institute of Education. He has been newly transferred to Mr. Qian Yankang, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Sun and Mr. Yang Yanzhu. Moved to Wuchang Tanhualin (former site of Huazhong University) to run a school.

From 65438 to 0956, the famous Soviet painter Menekov came to Han to preside over an oil painting research class. Accompanied by her husband, she won Mei's respect for her exquisite oil painting art. They went to Huangshan and Lushan to sketch and exchange works, and formed a profound friendship. May expressed great regret for Menkov's long-term administrative leadership. He believes that "it is easy to choose a leader, but it is difficult to produce an artistic genius within a century." Joined China in the same year. From July to June of the same year at 5438+00, under the instruction of the Ministry of Education, Yang participated in the establishment of Wuhan Art Teachers College, and served as the head and professor of the art department (there are two art teachers colleges in China, one is Beijing Art Teachers College, founded by Li Ruinian, Wu Guanzhong and Wei Tianlin). 1950- 1956, vice minister, minister and member of Hubei Federation of Literary and Art Circles in Yang Ren, vice chairman of Wuhan Branch of China Artists Association. During the period from the Art Department of Hubei Institute of Education, the Painting Department of Huazhong Normal University to the Fine Arts Department of Wuhan Art Normal University, students were enrolled over the years, professional teaching became more and more formal, and teachers and campus assets became larger, which began to have an impact on the national art normal education circle. 1958 10, Wuhan Art Teachers College and Zhongnan Conservatory of Music merged to form Hubei Art College, with Mr. Wang as vice president and professor. From 65438 to 0959, the five-year undergraduate course of the Fine Arts Department of Hubei University of the Arts was enrolled for the first time, and four majors of oil painting, Chinese painting, sculpture and arts and crafts were formally established, and two-year preparatory classes for workers and peasants were offered. 1960, increase printmaking specialty and attached middle school.

Ruanpu, Zhang Fang, Tang Lin, etc. Arts and crafts artists include Li Yifu, Liang, Zhou, Zhou, Chen Xiushan and so on. The basic courses are Fang Kunshou, Pu Xincheng and Lei Binong. At this point, the development of higher art education in Hubei has begun to take shape, which has an important relationship with Mr. Wang's personal educational complex and ideal of running a school. Long-term persistence, being active and steady, and attaching importance to the availability of teachers and equipment are the consistent working principles for Yang to expand the school-running pattern. Under the founding conditions at that time, Yang put the focus of art education on the work of professional teaching and research section. He attaches importance to the role of professional teaching and research section and emphasizes the working mode of combining system construction with teaching and research. So the teaching management is very streamlined and orderly. Based on the social ideology and cultural policy at that time, Yang supported realistic artistic creation activities in the teaching arrangement, and fully discussed or guided the proposition and form of students' graduation creation in the teaching and research office activities. Yang personally teaches oil painting teaching and demonstrates painting. He is good at inspiring and guiding, treating students equally in personality, and his teaching is fruitful, which has benefited many students for life. He advocates tolerating different opinions arising from organized or spontaneous discussions among students according to the principle of "letting a hundred flowers blossom". Regarding the ideological criticism among students, he never tried to play tricks on people from a political point of view, but expressed sympathy and injustice for the unknown grievances suffered by students. He loves students, not a close love, but a generous and understanding love. His love for students has become a lifelong complex in his educational career. After the students leave school, as long as he can, many old students who are obsessed with art and are in a dilemma get his help and support. Yang is also in charge of money and expenditure, and everything that is conducive to school construction is fully approved. We can try our best to meet the needs of various occupations. Small enough to send someone to visit the old gentleman, the courtesy expenses are not delayed at all. If you spend money on daily necessities, you will be cautious and will not be interested in socializing. Yang set an example and took the lead in honesty and integrity. For a time, he was diligent and thrifty, dedicated to the public, and loved his school as home, which became a common practice. After nearly 65,438+00 years of unremitting efforts by Yang and his colleagues, Hubei fine arts education has attracted the attention of domestic counterparts. In 1950s and 1960s, Chang Shuhong, Qin, Hua, Cai Ruohong, Mi Gu, Wei Tianlin, Wu Guanzhong, Liu Guoshu, etc. all visited and exchanged ideas here. The art education work led by him began to receive practical results, and a batch of students with good art training successively completed their studies and went to the society, which played an important role in improving the level of art education and art creation in Hubei and Central China provinces. Many people who entered school in 1950s benefited from this profound influence and became famous artists at the important stage of their artistic life. At the same time, teachers' artistic exploration and creation are also in a state of vigorous development. Teachers went deep into rural areas, factories and forest areas and created a number of works with social influence. During the period from Hubei Institute of Education to Hubei Institute of Art, Yang has always been the actual leader of higher art education in Hubei after the founding of the People's Republic of China, no matter how the organizational affiliation of the school changes. He inherited the eclectic educational tradition of Wuchang Art College and devoted himself to running a school diligently, becoming a pioneer of modern art education in Hubei. During this period, Yang insisted on creating many works in his own artistic way, such as oil paintings around 1958, such as Fang Baoshan, old woman, Qian Yankang, blacksmith and mandarin fish. "These works incorporate the characteristics of China's painting's emphasis on rewriting into the brushwork of oil painting. They are grand and accurate, with magnificent colors. 1960 cooperated with Qian Yankang, Sun, and created a huge oil painting "Yangtze River Bridge" for Hubei Hall of the Great Hall of the People and published it. By the 1960s, Mr. Wang had accumulated more than 65,438+050 works, which were excellent works he had worked hard all his life.
