每年七月，都是一批藝術院校的學子們告別美麗校園、面向社會的重要時節。今年的畢業季，我刊也匯聚了一批反映學院學子的創作與青年藝術動態的專題報告與研究。我們在這里感謝鄧國源院長等前輩對于年輕一代的殷殷祝愿，在中華崛起的時代，人們正在用一種特殊的關注呼喚著年輕的心靈。

本期的《今日人物》欄目，我們關注了抽象藝術家劉剛，他是中國抽象藝術的前輩，更是抽象藝術教育的先行者，他在這一領域的成績與所作的相應思考，也代表了中國一代藝術人渴望將抽象藝術融入中國本土文化的努力。

本期的《藝術視野》和《展覽現場》欄目，為呼應畢業季的主題，我們則關注了一些立足于青年藝術家創作生態的展覽，從各種當代青年藝術家、學院畫家的角度解讀藝術家的創作狀態。本期的《藝術生態》和《海外藝術》欄目，我們則主要關注著民間藝術、性別藝術等專題。藝術研究是一個需要開闊視野的領域，我們今天的研究，正在為一個視野更為開闊的時代準備前奏。

[Editorial]

Every July, it is time for a batch of art students to bid farewell to their campus life and step into society. In this year’s graduation season, we bring together a number of special reports and researches reflecting the creation and news of college students and young artists. Here we would like to express our gratitude to President Deng Guoyuan and other predecessors for their heartfelt wishes for the young generation, and in the rise of China, people are calling for the young mind with a special concern.

In the column of Figures of Today, we focus on the abstract artist Liu Gang. He is a predecessor of Chinese abstract art, and more importantly, a forerunner of abstract art education. His achievements and relevant reflections in this field also represent a generation of Chinese artists’ effort to corporate abstract art into Chinese native culture.

On the occasion of graduation season, the columns of Art Vision and Exhibition Reviews center on some exhibitions reflecting the creations of young artists, in which the visitors may get acquainted with the recent activities of creation of various contemporary young artists and academic painters. The columns of Art Ecology and Overseas Art carry articles about folk art and gender art respectively. As we know, art research is an area that needs to broaden the horizon, and our research today serves as a prelude to an era of broader vision.
