Mr. Yang Jinsong is a famous artist and printmaker.

Yang Jinsong, who was in his early fifties at the time, recently had a big happy event and was about to become a father, he wanted to make a painting for the soon-to-be-born child, and he was a printmaker who used paint without hesitation. This is my old photo before, at this time, in 1970, this was in Zhengzhou, at that time I felt very tired of studying, and then my mother asked me to simply go to Zhengzhou, to my aunt, because her family background is the best, because my uncle-in-law is a very good person. At that time, we probably had to fill out two or three forms per semester, and there would be a background on it, and I was most afraid of filling in this form, and every time school started, I would give you a form, and then you had to fill it out again, just engrave a chapter on your face. In fact, my grades were very good, but then I didn't go to school because of this, anyway, it was useless for me to get better, I played birds, caught fish, and then even went to earn money, and went to push the cart We called it at that time. At that time, the Changsha Railway Institute was under construction, and the farmer wanted to push the sand and gravel up the slope, and we helped him push a very long slope, about five cents, and we were very happy, so we didn't go to school, and we went there every day, whether we wanted to help push the cart, and then we pushed the cart. Yang Jinsong, who did not have a red background, made a deep mark on Yang Jinsong when he was a student, and in order to make progress for himself, he went to his uncle's house, so he went out for the first time in his life. At that time, it was the Cultural Revolution, and all the people who could paint, write, blow, and sing came out to do propaganda, and he became a member of the revolutionary criticism group in the factory, so he became very beautiful. When I watched him draw, I liked it very much, and for the first time I knew that painting was like this, and I could paint like this. After seeing him draw, I began to have a great interest, and I learned to use a pencil to draw, and later I learned that there are so many Bs, that is, 1B to 6B, there are six, and then 1H to 6H there are also six, and I know that there are so many variations of the original pencil. It was an enlightenment, from a state of complete nature to a feeling that I could make a career out of it, and that I had a basic goal. Away from home, Yang Jinsong found a brush that could vent his emotions, and soon he was admitted to the art secondary school, hoping to change his fate through painting. At that time, I was crazy, I joined the group, I made a special revolution, I didn't go back after my grandmother died, and then my home was actually very close to home, and at that time, I broke with my background in order to show it, and at that time we broke up, in order to show the break, I had to be the same as the landlord's wife (grandmother broke up), because I wanted to join the group. That's how I didn't join the group until I graduated, and when I graduated, I joined the group in the bomb shelter, and I wasn't excited at all, and since then, I really did it, and most importantly, because I was brought up by my grandmother since I was a child, because my parents were devolved, so it was for the revolution at that time. After that, I reflected on this process, and I was shaped by society, public opinion, and spirit, and I have been shaped like this, and I don't even know who I am and what kind of person I am. The '85 New Wave was a leap forward in the history of Chinese contemporary art, and its works caused a sensation, and the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts was one of the birthplaces of the '85 New Wave, when Yang Jinsong, who was studying printmaking in Guangzhou, decided to go out again. The whole atmosphere of the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts, it spread to the whole country, and from the perspective of young people across the country, it was a place that brought new hope, and one of my real thoughts at the beginning was that if I was not to admit me, I would not do this at all, because I felt that at that time, I was always in this anxiety. In 1986, Yang Jinsong was admitted to Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts and became a graduate student of the Department of Printmaking. This is when I was a graduate student, I went to Qianling, Shaanxi, in 1986, I was admitted to the graduate school, I was admitted to the foreign language, but I was 37.5 points, at that time we had four people admitted to the school, that is, they all got the admission notice, they didn't get it, and then it was a week later, they got the notice, and they were admitted, and then they were in the countryside at that time, they were going to the countryside, and they were so happy that they were in a mess. At that time, the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts introduced a large number of Western art materials, and used them as the soil to widely adopt Western artistic thinking and artistic methods, completing the evolution of Western art history for nearly a hundred years in a short period of time. While Yang Jinsong acquires new ideas in art, he also has his own thinking. At that time, some friends asked me to do an exhibition, and I said that if we wanted to do an exhibition, we would put forward a banner and an idea, so I started to plan the "New Academy" activity, because at that time, I often wrote something, and China Art Newspaper sent it out to me in the fastest way. The article pointed out that it is not feasible to transfer all Western artistic ideas at present, because it is not advisable to abandon the traditional academic school and train skills and language means, and he put forward the idea of "new academic school". Because the biggest dilemma at the beginning was that the college didn't know how to teach the students, and we had to face our problem, not just pull the West over and surgically cut it off. Under the call of the "new academic school" ideology, more and more Zhejiang American students participated in this activity. In 1988, Yang Jinsong was one of the initiators of the first New Academy Works Exhibition, which had a folk art exhibition, which became the overall art exhibition of Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts. I didn't expect the national response to be so strong, and the film academies and drama academies across the country, including the conservatory of music, all proposed the so-called "new academic school" of the music academy, the "new academic school" of the drama school, and the "new academic school" of the film academy, which was originally all over the country. In 1992, Yang Jinsong chose to go out again, and he went abroad and came to France, which is full of art. Most of them are in Europe, mainly in Germany and France, and the earliest photos of France are, and this is the photo when I first arrived in France. At that time, we were a program called "Sino-French Exchange", and then we belonged to the mutual assignment of this program, but we also enjoyed the opportunity of the college to send young teachers abroad for training, which was a public assignment. When I went abroad, I wanted to see how it was done abroad, and I was really confused for a while, and I couldn't even cook the rice, that is, someone told me, what to put half a finger of water to cook rice, and I still cook porridge, so every time I invite others to eat, I am porridge, porridge, stew a pot of meat, this is the way, it did take three or four months, I can cook the rice dry. The biggest feeling is that how such a thing can be exhibited in an art museum, such sloppy, so rude, such unstructured art, we want to see the technology, see the exquisite technical processing, we can't see it at all. Under such an impact, Yang Jinsong began to imitate the creative techniques of some Western artists, and compared with ordinary Chinese artists, his life was relatively wealthy at first. I mainly relied on selling paintings, and later I relied on printing my own prints and brushes, and at the beginning it was only fifty marks a piece, and I printed forty copies a day, and I earned a year's money in a month. Making money is not the purpose of Yang Jinsong's going abroad, nor is it the end of his artistic pursuit. In 1994, I was very miserable at that time, but I was quite divided, and I felt that if I didn't paint like this, my source of life would be gone; If I want to paint like that, I can get closer to my inner relationship. That year I was very miserable, that is, I had no money, all the money was used up, I really had no money, no money to eat, and then I went to other friends to eat, what to do, every day is the pressure of money. After living abroad for many years, Yang Jinsong learned to seek funding from the foundation, hoping that the foundation would pay for the completion of works that were true to his heart. They help you exhibit your work, help you market it, and then you share it with him, and you can rely on it to complete your own creation. In Europe, Yang Jinsong's works have completed the transformation from figurative to abstract, and achieved a breakthrough from the pursuit of technical techniques to the focus on inner feelings, and his art exhibitions have achieved remarkable results, and his works have begun to be sought after by collectors and art dealers. Breakthrough, change, innovation is Yang Jinsong's life pursuit, in 1997, he decided to return to China, he said that it feels good to go home.

This one is actually in Xi'an; This reflects the place where I lived when I first arrived in Xi'an, I was not used to it, I was very unaccustomed, and I fell ill immediately. When I went to Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts, many girls in Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts came to chase me, as long as I turned on the light, my door was knocked on, and I was annoyed to death, and then there were a lot of people introduced, I didn't want it, at that time they all said, you are a pervert, you must be perverted, I don't want to get married, unless I'm gay. On the campus of Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts, Yang Jinsong met a woman he fell in love with and fell in love with at first sight. She didn't know if she didn't know it, anyway, she said that I recognized you, so I told her, marry you, she said okay, then do it. The union of Yang Jinsong and his wife has always been called a lightning marriage by colleagues at school. I have known her for more than 20 days, and after more than 20 days, we have completed the marriage certificate. She was twenty years younger than herself, and she was forty-one years old. In fact, I haven't realized that I only realized my age when I married her, which is very annoying, she always reminds herself that she is older than her, and as a result, she begins to know her age, in fact, I don't want to know my age, because I feel that many things have not been done, and I still have to do, I still have to do, I still have to do, I still have to do. Yang Jinsong named one of his installation works "Migration", we see countless legs and feet in the walk, and we also see that Yang Jinsong, an artist who is constantly on the move, still does not stop his pursuit of art.
