二十世纪新加坡画家、教育家和画坛领袖叶之威(1913-1981)的故事鲜为人知。新加坡国家艺术馆举办的专题展览《叶之威的故事》,就弥补了这方面的缺憾。此项大型展览除了详细介绍叶之威在艺术方面的成就以外,也探讨了他在新加坡艺术史上所扮演的重要角色,并藉此向这位献身美术教育兼领导“十人”画家等团体的先驱画家致敬。

就如许多著名南洋画家一样,叶之威在1937年南来之前,曾在中国接受正规美术教育。到了南洋,叶氏的美学思想也同样受到新环境的巨大冲击。他曾屡次到东南亚各地旅行写生,并收集各地风物土产,计有婆罗洲纺织品和编织物、印尼依卡纺染、爪哇峇迪蜡染,以及各种土族雕塑的陶器。这些手工艺品成为画家创作时的常用题材。叶氏也热衷研究中国木刻版画、汉代石刻画像砖、古代铜器图案、甲骨文和石鼓文。通过对多元文化资料的摸索研究的西方抽象表现的多方尝试,叶之威成功创造了鲜明独特的油画风格,并从中体现出他对中西艺术的兼收并蓄、融会贯通。

图录上册论文探讨了叶之威在各方面的贡献,以及多元历史文化资源对其作品的影响。叶氏亲属和学生也在专文介绍画家的生平点滴。另外,120款彩色图版全面记录了这次的参展作品。CD光盘内附图录下册,收录了上册论文之中文版,以及曾在过去发表的文章和相关图片。除了叶之威本人撰写与1960年至1972年之间的八篇文章,以及多名撰稿人发表或写于1961年至2010年之间的文章以外,也随原文发行新近完成的英语译文。过去出版的叶之威画展图录和十人画集,以及有关画家个人文物和图书收藏的珍贵照片也被收录在下册内。
