在波瀾壯闊、跌宕起伏的奮斗歷程中，浙江大地涌現(xiàn)了一大批勇立潮頭的英雄人物，發(fā)生了無(wú)數(shù)可歌可泣的歷史事件?！鞍倌曜穳?mèng)”浙江美術(shù)創(chuàng)作精品工程歷時(shí)三年，以中國(guó)畫(huà)、油畫(huà)、版畫(huà)、雕塑為主要藝術(shù)形式，表現(xiàn)手法豐富，各具藝術(shù)特色，尤其在歷史敘事方法上取得顯著突破。

展出的作品都是引人贊嘆的精品力作：版畫(huà)《浩氣長(zhǎng)歌》以鮮明的構(gòu)圖表現(xiàn)新民主主義革命時(shí)期犧牲的9位浙江省委書(shū)記的光輝形象；油畫(huà)《浙江解放》展示了1949年8月浙江省人民政府成立的歷史畫(huà)面；油畫(huà)《火種》反映了中國(guó)工農(nóng)紅軍第十三軍浴血奮戰(zhàn)，為中國(guó)革命作出的不可磨滅的貢獻(xiàn)；國(guó)畫(huà)《西泠印社》表現(xiàn)了吳昌碩等幾任社長(zhǎng)的風(fēng)范，再現(xiàn)金石篆刻之“天下第一名社”人文歷史。

特別值得稱(chēng)道的是雕塑《辛亥群英》以雕塑藝術(shù)的表現(xiàn)語(yǔ)言刻畫(huà)了浙江籍辛亥革命領(lǐng)袖群體的堅(jiān)強(qiáng)形象。國(guó)畫(huà)《國(guó)藥之脈》把胡慶余堂中以胡雪巖為首的一組人物群像勾勒得細(xì)膩生動(dòng)，體現(xiàn)出胡慶余堂沉淀的“真不二價(jià)”、以誠(chéng)待人的商業(yè)文化精華。油畫(huà)《湖山涵育》是那些名聲顯赫的浙江近代國(guó)學(xué)大師組畫(huà)，畫(huà)面栩栩如生，人物神采逼真，吸引了眾多觀眾觀賞和頻頻贊許。

大展之“大”，不僅僅表現(xiàn)為展出的作品體量、尺幅巨大，更體現(xiàn)了為歷史造像立碑的藝術(shù)工程之大，具有很高的文化價(jià)值和歷史意義。

“決定創(chuàng)作成功的藝術(shù)元素有很多，包括對(duì)大時(shí)代中人與事件的正確理解、對(duì)選題的深刻把握、具體創(chuàng)作要素的選取、藝術(shù)表現(xiàn)和創(chuàng)作手段的呈現(xiàn)等?！敝袊?guó)文聯(lián)副主席、浙江省文聯(lián)主席、中國(guó)美院院長(zhǎng)許江表示，這30幅畫(huà)是浙江美術(shù)界共同完成的浙江的人文歷史書(shū)卷。它不僅是浙江的重要文化財(cái)富，而且是進(jìn)行愛(ài)國(guó)主義教育的重要教材。

“百年追夢(mèng)”浙江美術(shù)創(chuàng)作精品工程創(chuàng)作任務(wù)很重，但是藝術(shù)家們充滿(mǎn)信心，奮辦完成。美術(shù)界認(rèn)為，浙江美術(shù)創(chuàng)作精品工程在史實(shí)濃縮表現(xiàn)、歷史情景再現(xiàn)、藝術(shù)運(yùn)用語(yǔ)言和思想境界開(kāi)拓上，完全達(dá)到預(yù)期目標(biāo)，并創(chuàng)出了新的水平。浙江藝術(shù)家深入歷史，還原歷史，并以現(xiàn)實(shí)主義精神和浪漫主義情懷觀照歷史、表現(xiàn)歷史。許多作品都是數(shù)易其稿，最終才達(dá)到較為理想的藝術(shù)效果。

展覽凝聚了浙江優(yōu)秀美術(shù)家辛勤耕耘的心血。藝術(shù)家們走進(jìn)歷史深處，走進(jìn)生活深處，既展開(kāi)形象思維翅膀，又腳踩堅(jiān)實(shí)的大地，創(chuàng)作出一幅幅巨作。在創(chuàng)作《鋼鐵洪流——紅軍挺進(jìn)師》草圖期間，藝術(shù)家常青來(lái)到遂昌王村口粟裕、劉英戰(zhàn)斗過(guò)的地方，實(shí)地體驗(yàn)當(dāng)年的氛圍，終于找到創(chuàng)作靈感；為創(chuàng)作《明燈——1939年中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨浙江省第一次代表大會(huì)》，藝術(shù)家陸琦多次到平陽(yáng)的會(huì)議舊址考察采風(fēng)，到溫州和平陽(yáng)的檔案館收集分析史料；《浩氣長(zhǎng)歌——新民主主義革命時(shí)期犧牲的9位浙江省委書(shū)記》這件作品，時(shí)間跨度很大，每位省委書(shū)記都不在同一個(gè)時(shí)間點(diǎn)，創(chuàng)作難度很大。畫(huà)家佟飚畫(huà)了許多草圖，嘗試了各種創(chuàng)作手法后，才比較滿(mǎn)意地體現(xiàn)出9位省委書(shū)記大義凜然、視死如歸的英雄氣概。

藝術(shù)家們對(duì)歷史問(wèn)題的藝術(shù)化表達(dá)，用畫(huà)筆把歷史事件描繪成感動(dòng)人、教育人的多彩畫(huà)卷，把歷史人物升華為鼓舞人、引導(dǎo)人的鮮活形象，用自己的心追逐百年中國(guó)夢(mèng)。
