花鳥畫是中國畫傳統(tǒng)畫科之一，以花、鳥、蟲等植物和動物為描繪對象，在中國繪畫史上有著悠久的歷史和深遠(yuǎn)的社會影響?；B畫最早可以追溯到遠(yuǎn)古石器時(shí)代，中國先民們在巖壁、陶器上記錄下他們對于自然萬物的觀察和理解。經(jīng)過長期發(fā)展，到了唐代，花鳥畫業(yè)已獨(dú)立成科，臻于成熟，與人物畫、山水畫共同構(gòu)成了中國傳統(tǒng)繪學(xué)體系。工筆花鳥畫精巧細(xì)致，追求寫實(shí)；寫意花鳥畫粗放瀟灑，注重神韻，雖然技法不同，但都體現(xiàn)了畫家對大自然的熱愛之情，無論藝術(shù)表現(xiàn)還是創(chuàng)作意境都深受人們的喜愛。

本期“看中國”選登南開大學(xué)藝術(shù)與美學(xué)研究院副教授陳志峰花鳥畫作品以饗讀者。陳志峰長期探索花鳥畫創(chuàng)作，廣收博取，融眾法于一體，尤其在荷塘、鵝類的田園題材上別具一格、富有趣味。他的花鳥畫創(chuàng)作看似傳統(tǒng)，卻處處盡顯對現(xiàn)代人生存困境的關(guān)懷，試圖創(chuàng)造出一個(gè)雅致悠然、透徹澄明的藝術(shù)世界，為現(xiàn)代人建構(gòu)一個(gè)清明的精神家園。
