《春雪》吴冠中 清华大学艺术博物馆藏 吴可雨捐赠
Many prominent artists are also devoted teachers themselves, such as the late painter Wu Guanzhong, who once lectured at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, then Tsinghua University's architecture department and after that, the central academy of arts and design, now Tsinghua's Academy of Arts and Design, where he retired.
许多杰出的艺术家本身也是执着的教育者，比如吴冠中先生。吴先生曾先后在中央美院、清华大学建筑系和中央工艺美院——现在的清华美院——执教，最后也是以教授的身份从清华美院退休。

The artist, who was trained in China and France, educated generations of painters and scholars of art. Also, he saw his works as an education of art for the common people, hoping to help them build a deeper appreciation of beauty and integrate art into their perspective on life and the world.
吴先生曾经留学法国，为中国的美术界培育了许多人才。同时，吴先生也非常看重大众美育。他希望通过自己的作品，与大家分享他对于美的理解，告诉大家美可以如何融入我们的生活，影响我们对于世界的看法。

Wu Guanzhong said, "(If people) Miss me, just go to see my paintings."
吴先生曾说，“想我，就去看我的画吧。”
His paintings are among the most widely exhibited in the country, not only because they look lovely but also for his honesty and pursuit of truth, which have deeply touched audiences.
吴先生的画作是最经常被拿出来展出的了，不仅仅因为这些作品看着赏心悦目，还因为画中所包含的真诚，是先生对于“真”的追求深深打动着我们。

去年，《美育人生——吴冠中百年诞辰艺术展》在清华大学艺博馆开幕。为了让更多人能感受到先生的作品和人格魅力，这个展览将延期到10月8日。
Wu was a magical player with dots, lines and forms. His paintings often recreate the magnificence of nature.
吴先生的画最突出的一点就是点、线、面充满诗意灵动的结合。他的笔下常常再现自然的宏伟壮丽。
He said it is most important to learn from nature. He said nature always seduces us, inspires us, and laughs at our conservative views, inflexibility and prejudices.
先生说过，最重要的就是要向自然学习。他说大自然永远在吸引我们、启发我们，它嘲笑着我们的保守、不懂变通和偏见。
