This graphic novel presents the vibrant oil-painted illustrations of "The Scar" created by Bin Li, a well-known artist. It tells a tragic story between a mother and daughter during the Cultural Revolution. This book also helps readers to re-examine the aesthetics and characteristics of the Chinese "scar art" in the changing times.
This book was adapted from a short story by Xinhua Lu, one of the representative pieces of "scar literature." The story reveals the tragedy of two generations caused by political persecution and radical ideology during the Cultural Revolution, as well as the severe mental trauma left behind.
Originally published in 1979, the ink wash graphic novel "The Scar" is widely regarded as a representative piece of the Chinese "scar art." All of its original ink wash paintings disappeared mysteriously in 1986. From 2015 to 2022, Bin Li, one of the original three artists, recreated all illustrations with oil paints by himself.
This book also includes a preface by Danqing Chen, articles by Gongming Li, Xinhua Lu, Jiawei Shen, and Bin Li, as well as the original ink wash paintings.
Of high artistic aesthetic value, this book is an important document for the study of politics and art in the special historical period of modern China. It invites readers to re-examine the literary and artistic struggle after the Cultural Revolution and the cultural heritage in the post-revolutionary era.
中國"文革"後開創"傷痕美術"的第一聲驚雷！
原畫稿神秘失蹤後的激情重繪與更加奪目的藝術光芒！
陳宜明、劉宇廉和李斌合作的水墨連環畫《傷痕》發表於1979年，至今被公認為"文革"結束後開創"傷痕美術"的代表性作品。《傷痕》描繪"文革"中發生的家庭倫理悲劇，故事揭露了政治迫害與激進意識形態給兩代人帶來的命運與倫理悲劇以及遺留的嚴重精神創傷。
《傷痕》原創畫稿在80年代"神秘失蹤"。李斌於2015年至2022年期間以一己之力用油畫材料重新創作了《傷痕》，以不滅的激情與更為成熟的藝術風格重新鑄造出時代的視覺記憶與藝術文本。至此《傷痕》先後經歷了從文學文本到水墨連環畫和從水墨原作到油畫重繪的雙重超越性轉變。
本圖冊包括了李斌重繪的油畫連環畫《傷痕》以及原版水墨連環畫《傷痕》，還收入了陳丹青《序》、李公明《專論》、盧新華《再現》、沈嘉蔚《永遠的》等文章，以及畫家本人的自述文章等資料。這是連環畫《傷痕》自問世以來最權威的彙編本，是研究中國現代特殊歷史時期中政治與藝術的重要文獻。
