特定的历史机缘和现实条件，以及一种共同的内心取向与价值认同，促使我们发起成立了“中国写实画派”。5年来，当我们以一个画家的纯朴和诚实的心愿起步，并付上我们当有的努力和认真的行动后，产生了远远超过我们所想所求的社会效果。其创作的质量与业内影响致使画派人数不断增加，逐渐汇聚了一批中国当代最优秀的实力派画家，足见其写实绘画在中国当下的生命力与现实意义，因此，首先应当感谢我们的恩师传授给我们从事绘画艺术的能力与品质，感谢艺术各界一直以来对我们的鼓励与支持，更感谢这个时代给我们每一个人充分发挥才情提供了可能。
　　写实油画在中国，自辛亥革命后，已经有五代优秀艺术家的积累与努力。写实油画是产生在西方的一种绘画方式，但是今天已经在中国扎根和发展了，可以说没有写实绘画的需要就没有油画这个品种的产生。写实仅仅是一种绘画表现的手段，而非绘画的目的，在写实的问题上更不存在先进和落后之分，凡是人类历史上伟大的写实绘画都包含了所有的绘画元素，而那种精湛的技巧与深厚的学养是由伟大心灵的需要创造出来的。那种超凡的表现力与高妙的境界是通过超强的绘画能力承载的。是写实的这种方式训练和培养了我们的眼力，让我们学会了观察，通过对自然与生命的深入关注，学会了贴近真实的体验与表现力的研究。是写实绘画的需要让人类挖掘和使用了油画材料表现的最大可能性。面对自然的无限丰富，那种被动的照抄，琐碎的摹仿与细描细画是写实绘画的大敌。我们必须去使用绘画原理，掌握自然规律，主动地书写与表现心灵感动，传递审美体验，升华内在境界，注重真实背后的那个抽象美，那个内涵的精神与品格才是写实绘画的真正灵魂。
　　面对今天时代的丰富和我们内心的渴求，表现手段更加需要拓展和更新。“人人心中之有，他人笔下所无”的境界当是我们写实画派的共同追求。“中国写实画派”的自然形成，以很快的速度凝聚了一批志趣相投、风格各异的艺术家，大家互相启发，相互效力，研究经典，师法造化，关注现实，热爱生命，认同真、善、美的核心价值观，使得每一个人都获得了极大的进步。真正地体现了其他组织形式所无法取代的意义，写实绘画的现实水平得到了推进与深化。相信，今后会有更多优秀的写实画家参与，一起同行，使“中国写实画派”在中国今天的美术界发挥更大的作用。
　　吉林美术出版社出版的该套高仿真版油画丛书，选中“中国写实画派”的全体画家，每人一集，全面深入地展示了每一位艺术家的面貌，是我们共同的荣幸。运用高科技手段将油画原作效果最大限度地呈现给观者，加上每幅作品以多张局部放大的手段更能精微全面地展示作品的魅力，运用印刷品呈现油画作品的准确度来说，无疑为油画家和学习研究油画的人们带来一个福音。
　　长久以来我们有一个体会，印刷品常常把坏画印好，好画印坏，好画的精妙之处印不出来，而不怎么样的画一印还像那么回事。我们常常从世界各大博物馆走出来，激动地想找大师经典作品的印刷品，无论是单张还是画册，每看都很失望，因为离原作效果太远，就是一句话：不准确。中国目前还没有油画博物馆，而好的重要的展览时间和地点都很有限，大多学习研究油画的人都依据印刷品，因此有很强的误导性，我也曾为此付出过代价。
　　我认为吉林美术出版社融雅昌高科技工艺这一开创性的印刷举动具有很强的现实意义，那些放大的局部对于研究、学习、临摹甚至批评的深入都提供了全息的、更加准确的依据，同时也给艺术家们带来挑战，放大的局部将艺术家的问题和不足之处暴露无遗，这也会促使艺术家们主动地思考和更加用心地去创作。我期待着，此一方面的改变，为中国油画的学习和进步起到积极的推动作用。

　　Preface
　　The special historical occasions, practical conditions as well as the common internal orientation and value identification impel us to initiate and establish Chinese Realism. Over the past five years, we took off with simple and honest wish, we took as hard-working and serious actions as we should, and we have got the social effects far greater beyond our imagination. Due to the high quality of the works and great influence in this field, there increases more and more realistic painters, who are a collection of Chinese masterful artists, it serves to show the vitality and pragmatic meanings of contemporary Chinese paintings. Therefore, we should extend our sincere gratitude to our teachers who have imparted to us painting skills and also virtues, to encouragements and supports from all arts circles, and more to this era for providing us the possibility of giving full play of our talents.
　　Ever since the revolution of 1911, realistic oil painting, in China, has got five generations of excellent artists’ accumulation and hard-working. Realistic oil painting originated in the west, while took root and develop in China nowadays, we can say there exists no oil painting without realistic painting’ s needs. Realism is a means rather than purpose of painting, regarding to that, there is not distinction of advancement and lagging behind, all the painting elements are included in every great realistic painting throughout human history, and that consummate skill and profound accomplishment are created by soul demands. The remarkable expressive force and ingenious state are carried by transcendental painting skills. It is realism that develops and cultivate our observation, and the observation on nature and life leads us to experience reality and research the expressive force; it is realism that makes people excavate and apply oil painting material’s greatest potential. Facing the abundant nature, the formidable enemy of painting is passive copy, trifling imitates or detailed drawing. Thus we must take use of painting theories, grasp the laws of nature, display heart and soul touching, transfer aesthetic experience, sublimate inside state, and pay attention to the abstract beauty behind the reality, the real soul of realistic painting is spirit and character of connotation.
　　Expressive means should be developed and updated, when facing with colorful and varied contemporary time as well as our inside thirst. The state of showing what is in everyone’s mind, but in other’s works is the common pursuit of realism. Since the founding of China Realism, many artists who share similar taste and interest, but distinct in styles accumulate together, inspiring each other and studying the classics, whereas paying close attention to reality and life, and approving the key values of truth, kindness and beauty, which makes everyone gain the great experience that no other organization could replace. I believe that there will be more painters participate in the China Realism group and play a greater role in China’s art field.
　　We are delighted to publish this set of high emulation oil painting editions by Jilin Fine Arts Press, which compiled all the painters who belong to China Realism and put each one in a book specifically, they used the High Technology to present the original work to the viewers in the maximum extent and enlarge the paintings precisely to show its charm and glamour. On the accuracy of printing matters, undoubtedly, this set of books brings a good news to the painters and the ones who study oil painting.
　　It seem to be a pattern that the printing matters never present the sparking points of the excellent work, but make the average ones magically beautiful. After visiting the great museums in the world, we are always eager to find some albums about masterworks. However, there is nothing to satisfy us, because of one word: inaccurate. Meanwhile, it is hard to fine a oil painting museum in China, and there are not enough exhibitions for people to visit. People mostly choose oil painting album to study and were misled by them, for instance, I used to be one of them.
　　I realize the real significance of Jilin Fine Arts Press refines a new way of printing by Artron Printer’s High Technology. Those enlarged part could provide more holographic and accurate basis for us to research, study, even criticize. On the other hand, it could expose the problems and the disadvantages of the painter, which will impel them to think and paint more creatively. I expect that this new method will play a positive role for the study and the improvement of China oil painting.
