《夜》表現(xiàn)了清風(fēng)明月下的夜晚，幼兒園的阿姨正在細(xì)心地照看熟睡中的孩子，像一支溫馨祥和、寧靜優(yōu)美的小夜曲，格調(diào)新穎，意境深遠(yuǎn)。

Night, combined with a brand new style and fertile imagination, shows a maid is seeing after a sleeping baby at a beautiful night with soothing wind and bright moon, just like a sweet, peaceful and graceful serenade.

        朱宣咸作品充滿著鮮明的時代感，充滿著鮮明的社會性。

        1949解放前，他就以失學(xué)、失業(yè)以致遭受牢獄之苦等親身感受創(chuàng)作了不少如投搶匕首般震撼人心的作品，從多個角度鞭撻當(dāng)時社會的黑暗，揭露與反映民眾的疾苦與抗?fàn)�；新中國成立和改革開放以來，我們社會重大的政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)、思想方面的活動也都在他的作品中留下了鮮明的軌跡，他總是豪邁奔放地以滿腔的熱情時似氣勢龐大的交響樂、時似涓涓細(xì)流的抒情詩，贊美新中國、贊美新社會、贊美純凈美好的大自然。

        從這一幀幀高揚著時代精神的壯麗畫卷，我們可以清晰地讀到朱宣咸藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作的心路歷程，讀到他大半個世紀(jì)以來，始終堅持不懈地對真理、對光明、對藝術(shù)美與自然美的執(zhí)著追求。

Zhu Xuanxian’s works are featured with vivid orientations to the times and the society.

Before the Liberation in 1949, based on his own experiences of dropping out of school, being unemployed and even being imprisoned, he created a number of works shocking as a dagger that reflected from multiple aspects the darkness of the society and the miseries and fighting of the people at that time. Afterwards, since the foundation of the P.R.C and the starting of the reform and opening-up, the significant social activities in politics, economy and thoughts have also left vivid traces in his works. With his abundant enthusiasm seeming to be the grand symphony or the stream-like lyric poem now and then, he praised the new China, the new society and the pure and beautiful nature.

From these historical paintings with the features of the times and the society, we can read clearly the emotional journey of Zhu Xuanxian’s artistic career and his persistent pursuit for truth and brightness as well as the artistic and natural beauty.
