徐操美术作品

 徐操 （1899—1961）字燕孙，别号霜红楼主，又号霜红龛主、中秋生。斋号霜红楼、寒水堂、归燕楼等。原名存昭，清光绪二十五年（己亥，1899年）农历八月十五日（公历9月20日）生于北京。祖籍河北深县徐家湾，但自其曾祖无相来京经营供御绸缎已历四世。

两岁丧母，由祖母庆氏（满族）抚养，7岁至15岁在家馆中先后从3位塾师读书，打下了深厚的旧学根底。15岁时，考入了求实中学，毕业前后，一次他看京剧《战宛城》，联系曹操的雄才大略由衷钦佩，为了自我激励，乃改名徐操。 自幼痴迷书画，初随民间画师学习。渐长，拜宫廷画家管念慈为师。后又追随俞明（涤烦）学画。

1920年，“中国画学研究会”成立，徐操作为首批会员入会，遂成为研究会核心成员。但徐操似乎无意以此“雕虫小技”闻世，故在总统府庶务司任职的次年，即入中央政法专门律本科攻读，两年后（1922年），徐世昌下野，徐操亦随之去职，继续在政法专门学校学习。

从民国一十三年（1924年）至民国一十五年（1926年），徐操画艺日进，已有作品参加两届“中日绘画联展”，成为中国画学研究会的评议，并开始鬻画。1926年，与金北楼之子金潜另立“湖社”，日常除参加画展及画学研究外，还在《艺林旬刊》、《湖社月刊》等刊物上发表画作和创作《三国演义》等故事插图，遂逐渐成为京城家喻户晓的画坛名流。

然而，徐操投笔从戎施展抱负的雄心未已，于民国十七年（1928年）应同乡友人田韵卿（宝銮）之约，充天津警备司第一师师部书记员，但不足二月即行去职。他有感于中原逐鹿的险恶和生计之需，在30年代之初，走上了毕生以画为业的人生旅程。

20世纪30年代，被聘为北平国立艺专、京华美专教授，吴光宇、刘凌沧、王叔晖、潘絜兹等皆为其得意门生。但不久便辞去教职，以卖画课徒为生，成为20世纪三四十年代影响画坛的传统派职业画家。1935年张大千来北京，与徐燕孙互不服气，于非闇推波助浪，闹了一场笔墨官司。

新中国成立后，积极投入政府提倡的连环画创作。1953年，被选为北京中国画研究会副主席，中国美术家协会创作委员会委员中国画组副组长，1954年兼任民族美术研究所研究员，选为北京文联理事。1956年参与筹备创建中国画院工作，1957年画院成立被任命为副院长，并担任中国画研究会副会长。此间，他组织并参与《和平颂》，《长江图卷》等历史性的美术创作，并创作出大量的连环画作品，如《三打祝家庄》、《火烧赤壁》等。

1957年被错划成右派，从此几乎终止艺术创作，所绘连环画《屈原》亦未能出版，1961年11月4日病故，葬于北京立水桥第二公墓。

 徐操非常注重对传统艺术的研摹，又不为古人所囿。其人物画主要取材历史故事、文艺作品，如三国故事、红楼梦人物等，还有诸如道教、佛教方面及民间传说中的人物等。他画的人物，线描运用自然，笔笔有力，又能在统一中求变化。若画人物众多的场面，能将吴道子的“兰叶描”、李公麟的“铁线描”、马远的“钉头鼠尾描”以及唐寅、仇英、陈洪绶等前贤的笔法参杂使用，取得丰富多变的视觉效果。

他的作品从画法上可分为工细和比较写意两种风格。工细者有如春蚕吐丝，写意者寥寥数笔，有如风卷层浪。既有表情夸张，填色浓重，趣味近俗之作，又有白描或施淡色，趣味近雅的作品。徐操作画从不打稿子，画面构图布置、人物配置及各种配景，均成竹在胸，然而画面却非常严谨，说明其传统画功很是深厚。徐画的不足，是形象与画法过分熟练和程式化，有较重的习气。
