我的父亲谭畅生于1921年,祖父是满清秀才,祖母是普通的农村家庭主妇。父亲一个乡下孩子,从小学一年级开始就离开了家在县城的学校寄宿。他整个受教育的过程实际上是一个自我选择的过程,他选择艺术应该跟他的天性有关。在自传里,我父亲写到对他的艺术生涯最有影响力的三方面因素:民间艺术、原始艺术和现代艺术。 My father, Tan Changsheng, was born in 1921, his grandfather was a Manchu scholar and his grandmother was an ordinary rural housewife. My father, a country boy, left home at a school in the county since the first grade of primary school. His whole process of education is actually a process of self-selection, and his choice of art should be related to his nature. In my autobiography, my father wrote about the three most influential factors in his artistic career: folk art, primitive art and modern art.
