首先我代表中国美协祝贺“第二届全国中国画展”评选工作顺利完成,也祝贺中国画艺委会2003年年会隆重召开。全国中国画展原定三年举办一次,但由于种种原因隔了十年,当然,其间中国画也有许多活动,有中国画百年大展、花鸟画大展、人物画大展等,这都是我们中国画界的大事情。 First of all, on behalf of the China Artists Association, I congratulate on the successful completion of the selection of the “2nd National Chinese Painting Exhibition” and also congratulate on the grand opening of the 2003 Annual Conference of the Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Committee. The National Chinese Painting Exhibition is scheduled to be held for three years, but for various reasons it has been separated for ten years. Of course, there are also many activities of Chinese painting during the exhibition, such as the Centennial Exhibition of Chinese Paintings, the Flower and Bird Painting Exhibition, the Portrait Painting Exhibition, etc. These are all our paintings in China Big thing.
