Zhao Changqing, director of the jury, stressed at the jury: "Our judges should be responsible for the elderly, the art, the exhibition and the judges themselves." The preliminary evaluation was conducted on June 5438+04, and the judges were divided into four groups with 3 judges in each group. As long as one judge agrees, they can be shortlisted for the next round of competition. In order to avoid the regret of leaving pearls, the judging panel conducted a sampling review of the eliminated works, and the selected works directly entered the re-evaluation. In the initial evaluation, 2,000 works were selected from more than 30,000 works, which were packaged and sealed in designated places under the supervision of notaries and supervisory and examination members. On June 5438+05, the finalists will be re-evaluated, and only two or more judges in each group agree to be selected. The re-evaluated 1300 works shall be registered by notaries and staff, and then hung on the final evaluation site according to the age of 75 or above and the age of 75 or below. The final evaluation was conducted in the morning of 16. While giving consideration to different styles, schools and methods, the final evaluation fully considers the characteristics of the elderly and pays attention to works with individuality, creativity and academic value. All the judges will vote for the final evaluation, and according to the numbering sequence and the voting card of the evaluation software, the numbering box of the works to be eliminated will be blacked out. When the judges sign the ballot paper, the ballot paper becomes effective. After the staff checked that the judges' voting cards were correct, the judges, notaries and staff jointly counted the votes in the counting hall. Because of the use of computer evaluation software, the selection results can be displayed directly and quickly on the big screen, which not only improves the efficiency, but also eliminates human interference and realizes fairness, justice and openness in the true sense. 16 at 2 pm, the organizing Committee of the first national exhibition of calligraphy works for the elderly held a press conference. All the judges signed the entry list on the spot, and the notary read the notarized words.
The old author's enthusiasm for calligraphy surprised everyone. The first national calligraphy exhibition for the elderly received the largest amount of manuscripts in the solo exhibition sponsored by China Calligraphy Association, which was basically the same as the eighth national exhibition. Zhou Henghua, president of this newspaper, said that there are well-known calligraphers, ordinary beginners, couples' calligraphy partners and many calligraphy lovers who made a special trip to Wuhan. China Calligraphy Association attaches great importance to the combination with the advantages of calligraphy newspaper, a professional media, which makes this exhibition deeply loved by the elderly. The extensive participation and enthusiastic participation of elderly authors have proved everything.
Bai Xu, secretary-general of the jury, said that 300 people were scheduled to attend the exhibition. Considering the quantity and quality of submissions, the jury reported to the China Book Association and decided to increase the number of exhibitors to 360. In order to encourage the calligraphy creation of the elderly, 9 17 selected works were also set up.
The works in this exhibition reflect the unique creative characteristics and styles of the elderly. Zhang Xuguang, deputy director of the jury, said that the works exhibited in the exhibition for the aged pay attention to the pursuit of connotation and the expression and praise of life experience. Wei Bei, seal script and a number of works influenced by Wu Changshuo, He and Yu Youren show a very solid foundation and rich connotations. We found that the clue that calligraphy continued among the people from the late Qing Dynasty to today greatly enhanced the sense of history of the works and had important academic value. He went on to say that from these works on display, we can also see that the old man is not old. Nowadays, people in their 60s are all in their 30s in the early 1980s, when calligraphy in China was just revived. They follow the drums of the times and are influenced by the exhibition hall effect. Their works pursue a sense of modernity and form, as well as the decorative effect of color, and pay attention to the change of ink color. The elderly authors' understanding of life transcends the technical level, and the works in the exhibition represent the highest level of contemporary elderly calligraphy. At the meeting, people are old and old, and the exhibition for the aged verified the law of calligraphers' late birth, and also strengthened our confidence in continuing to run the second and third exhibitions for the aged.
Na Tuoqi, deputy general manager of Hubei Changjiang Publishing Group, said that excellent calligraphy works for the elderly should be a high expression of life value and ideological and artistic realm. I hope these works can show the artistic achievements of calligraphy of the elderly in China and promote the development of calligraphy.
Liu Yongze, Party Secretary of Hubei Federation of Literary and Art Circles, said: "This event has far-reaching historical significance. Through the exhibition, a group of outstanding old calligraphers were discovered, which will go down in history. This exhibition for the elderly has a very distinctive humanistic care color, which represents the voice of the elderly calligraphers all over the country and plays an important role in building a harmonious society and advocating a harmonious book style.
